Bears 2018 Offseason: Matt Nagy Hired as Head Coach

[jersey cubs fan]

Allen Robinson had one season three years ago where he led the league in receptions and was 6th in receiving yards. He wasn't particularly close to the top 10 in either his last full season.

 

That's not close to elite.

On Jacksonville though

Oh god, please don't get me going on elite again

Bring back Sully!

In all seriousness, what happened to Sully, anyway?

It's well documented how bad Bortles was in 2016, particularly when throwing to Robinson. Robinson's career path is somewhat similar to Deandre Hopkins. Hopkins did have 2 elite years before a down 2016 though, and obviously no ACL tear. With competent QB play, I can see Robinson getting back to elite level. Learning new offense and Trubisky's development though are more factors to him being elite IMO than his actual ability, even with the ACL tear.

Bears to decline fifth-year option on WR Kevin White

Bears to decline fifth-year option on WR Kevin White

 

I'd call this a great decision by Pace, but it was really the only decision he could make given the knowledge of the situation. I hope he has a good year.

Chicago Bears rookie linebacker Roquan Smith had his car broken into over the weekend, and in addition to a Georgia jersey from the national championship game and other valuable memorabilia, the thief or thieves made off with his Bears-issued tablet.

 

Smith had several valuable watches, headphones, and team items in his car that the police report said were “worth up to $40,000 apiece.” The car also had a pair of shoes and the Bears playbook. A team spokesperson told the Tribune the tablet was wiped and “there was no compromise of Bears (information).” That’s not exactly verifiable, since there’s a window between the theft and the time when the Bears remotely wiped it, though password protections make that unlikely. The culprit will have to find another way to get their hands on Matt Nagy’s sweet, sweet formations.

11. Chicago Bears

 

2018 Offensive Coordinator: Mark Helfrich

 

Surprised? Don't be. It was fun to see certain rookies explode onto the scene last year, but the Chicago Bears' Trubisky was lost in the shuffle.

 

2017's No. 2 pick looked solid over 12 games, dishing seven touchdowns and seven interceptions—while throwing to Kendall Wright, Joshua Bellamy and Dontrelle Inman.

 

"Who?" is the right reaction. Trubisky is franchise-quarterback material and now gets to throw to Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel and second-round wideout Anthony Miller, one of the 2018 draft's steals. Jordan Howard not only returns as the primary runner and is coming off two 1,100-plus-yard seasons, but Tarik Cohen is also one of football's most explosive weapons and should see a bigger role.

 

Don't forget the offensive line. Left tackle isn't a concern thanks to Charles Leno Jr., and the Bears were stunned to see lineman James Daniels fall to them in the second round. Daniels, Cody Whitehair and Kyle Long form one of the league's nastier interior groups.

 

Mark Helfrich's arrival tops it all off. The former Chip Kelly understudy and Oregon head coach will know how to squeeze the most out of mismatch nightmares like Cohen.

I'm reading that as saying that you have to go down to Hell to eat Chicago pizza, which sounds about right.

Yeah no idea how Gabriel gets to pretend he’s an expert on anything but particularly on QB play.
