How is Bears (Over 9 wins) not an amazing medium-term investment? So 10 wins, 9 pushes, 8 loses. They went 8-8 last year.

 

Let's say auto wins at home:

Colts

Rams

Vikings

Seahawks

 

So need go 2-2 at home vs these teams:

Packers - L

Lions - W

Texans - L

Panthers - W

 

And 3-5 on the road vs these teams:

Titans - W

Cowboys - L

49ers - L

Jaguars - W

Cardinals - L

3 Division Opponents (1-2)

 

That gives you a 9-7 push and is being extremely conservative IMO. I expect 7-1 at home this year.

Forte, the franchise player who is not satisfied with the one-year tender offer of $7.7 million, told reporters today that he believes progress has been made in his contract talks with the team.

 

“Last year we were worlds apart, but it’s gotten better,” Forte told the Chicago Sun-Times.

 

Forte told Zach Zaidman of WSCR in Chicago that he took it personally when he heard the reports that the Bears don’t think his knees can hold up for much longer, but that he’s sure he’ll be with the Bears for the regular season.

Urlacher is on Waddle and Silvy's lunch with a legend today. Just a heads up.

Really interesting statistical analysis of the Bears D....from a Raiders blog.

Not sure if anyone else cares, but there are two more posts about the Bears on this blog. The first one still about the D, and the second one comparing Cutler and Hanie.

Ridiculous where Jaws put Stafford.

 

As is Flacco ahead of Romo. Awful.

Stafford's a tough rank. He's only had 1 good/full year. He was pretty terrible in 2010. He was decent in 2011, but only played 3 games. So, 2012 is it. Of course, it so happens 2012 (5000 yards, 41 TDs) was one of the best seasons a QB has ever had in NFL history (but took a backseat to Brees, Brady, and Rodgers' seasons).

 

I think you have to put him top 10 just based on 2012 and his obvious natural ability which he had shown flashes of before. Of course, then do you put Newton in the top 10 for the exact same reasons?

 

Flacco should not be ahead of Romo. Cutler maybe shouldn't either.

Also, was Stafford's big year because of Johnson's big year, or vice versa? I think Stafford's a nice QB, but he has plenty more to prove.

Romo may lead the league in smiles but I do not see why else he needs to be put any higher. I would take Cutler ahead of him 101 times out of a 100.

 

Thanks. I was wonder why we suddenly love Romo.

I was probably a little stupid about putting him ahead of Cutler. But yeah, he's about where he should be, but Flacco is not better than he is. Romo 10, Stafford 9, Cutler 8 (or 7 ahead of Rivers if you ask me).

Cutler is planted in that second tier with Eli and Big Ben. Rivers is in there, too.

I think Eli is in the top tier. I don't put a lot of stock in SB wins, unless the QB does something like Eli and leads 2 comebacks late, with signature throws in both games. (Hence, Big Ben is NOT in the top tier). Plus, he did throw for nearly 5000 yards, while having the league's 2nd worst run game and an iffy OL.

ben led one of the clutchest drives and made one of the clutchest throws in SB history, i'm surprised it doesn't get more love. but yeah, he's still second tier for me, too.

Because he's really, really good? WTH

 

And he's definitely better than Cutler.

 

What is this??? I don't even....
