Would have happened by now, if it was going to happen. Gameplan goes into place tomorrow. Would have to make a change by then. Bears have never fired a coach midseason.

I would not be surprised if they were hoping for a mutual agreement to terminate with a partial buyout of the 2018 season. Maybe they know he's miserable and wants to be done, but don't want to be on the hook for the whole thing.

 

 

They will be competing with the Giants for their next head coach, though.

Giants job only looks attractive because it's NYC's team. Gotta deal with the Manning situation and they have a ton of money tied into older players with a ton of free agent starters and no cap space to fill those spots. Bears should get the cream of the crop if they so choose.

Even with everything else going on with this organization, it's probably time to start thinking about how to replace Kyle Long, who is about to turn 29 and has shown a knack for getting injured. The offensive line has not shown the ability that many expected them to have this season, and I can't imagine they end this year as anything more than an average unit. With no skill position talent and an unsettled QB situation, this group has been a big disappointment.

when is his contract up? He's 29, so I wouldn't be throwing him out the door. the knack for injuries is truly a concern, but I feel like there are bigger issues on that line namely the tackle positions. Sitton, Whitehair, Grasu, Long are three solid guards (c's) for a rotation. I wouldn't be nec targeting one before the 3-4 round, but depth cant hurt. I wouldn't at all mind a 1)tackle 2)wr or 1)wr 2)tackle sequence to our draft, however.

He's signed through 2021, but he's an $8m+ cap hit right now and won't come close to living up to it in back to back seasons. He's probably safe for 2018, but they have to be looking to bring in younger depth this offseason. Yes, tackle is also a concern, and that's part of what I meant by "even with everything else going on". You can't really count on him to give you $8.5m in production in 2018, and the chances of him making it to 2019 as a viable $9.6m player are not good.

I'd be all for a Rd1 lineman if the value is right. Also Grasu has to go IMO. You can't have your backup C unable to play G, and Whiteside needs to be given the reigns at C and stay there.

 

I'm of the mindset you should be adding a young lineman every year. Not sure if they think anything of Morgan or not...

looking for a nerd who is less lazy than i am to figure out what kind of game it would take for mitch to get his passer rating into the 80's tomorrow. not entirely sure if 90's is even feasible with a monster game.

 

umfan, i'm looking at you

umfan, i'm looking at you

80

14-25, 255 yds, 2 TD, 1 int = 80.17 season (101.25 game)

90

27-35, 375 yds, 3 TD, 0 Int =90.5 for season (139.58 game)

 

Passer rating is dumb.

Just looking at the stats, Mitch's comp% and sack rate would both be REALLY big causes for concern if I didn't have context of him primarily passing out of 3rd and mid-long situations. Having that context it's still a little concerning.

 

ETA- With benefit of my below post - Mitch can't blame his woes on being forced into third and long entirely. But, stop making negative/short plays on first down jagoffs.

I'm pretty sure that there are a few outlier plays throwing off these numbers because of sample size... but interesting nonetheless. In case anyone was curios as to the split of passes by situation.... obviously not necessarily great context without comparison against total plays by situation and league avg. figures. No I'm not going to do that, done geeking out.
