There isn't a single person anywhere including at Football Outsiders that would take Shaun Hill, Chad Henne, et. al. over Jay Cutler.

My anthropology texts tell me that's the old Maori tribal symbol for foot humper

I bet Gholston won't even make the team. I figured that guy was gonna be the next LT. It's amazing what a bust he's been...it's not like he wasn't put into a situation with other good defensive players that could let him do work and he just looks like he should be a freak.
-
5/60 and 25 guaranteed is an incredibly reasonable price. Wish the Bears would've pursued him.
-
I think he meant the receivers being sodomized by the Green Bay DBs on national television was the humorous part.
-
Ok, a high 3rd rounder (Carolina should be terrible again) for Olsen is decent value. Sucks that there isn't anything coming back that can help this year though.
-
If we're gonna be dumb and stubborn about the offense might as well go in for Nnamdi
-
Has the Dan Conner thing even been confirmed yet? Also what pick did we get??
-
Look, it's easy to explain away almost anything as a team-related issue, except catch rate, which is pared down to only catchable balls thrown his way. If you are in the bottom 5 in the league in catch rate, and your only job is to catch passes, then you are not very productive. Correct me if I'm wrong but has anyone really determined the catchability of a ball yet. If the DB falls down and I'm running 10 yards free and clear is that ball just as catchable as something within arms reach but I have a DB running stride for stride?
-
bukie, just because some stat geeks are taking football/basketball metrics very, very seriously doesn't entitle them to have very good explanatory power yet. This stuff is in its infancy and football isn't a game of discrete events like baseball where this stuff is ever going to be captured all that well by the numbers.
-
Just because Martz is too stupid (stubborn?) to utilize him properly does not mean that he is not a very valuable football player. They threw plenty of passes to him. He just didn't catch near enough of them. How ever will the Bears replace Olsen's one good catch every 3 games now? Olsen has a lot of ability. He was maddening at times but I think it was pretty obvious that other teams considered him a threat, maybe even moreso than the midgets at WR. He was targeted a lot and inefficiently at times but that happens when your QB is running for his life and his "go to" receivers don't even know which foot to cut off of.

There would have to some actual building going on for that to be the case

lol PTNBL The Bears are the lamest [expletive] franchise good lord
-
Didn't he have microfracture surgery on his knee??? If so, that's a tough surgery to come back from... esp. for a WR. I doubt he'll ever be the same again. Yeah, I just read that. He says he's open to a one year deal to rebuild his value and prove he's healthy. Microfracture isn't what it used to be and it may be worth it to take a flier on him since it looks like the big fish are off the table.
-
Huh, I had no idea the NYG version of Steve Smith was a free agent too. If Martz really doesn't care about big receivers I think he'd be interested in him for sure.
-
I've never understood the fascination with Hasselbeck myself. He's very ordinary.
-
Thanks for that. I take back my original statement. Just a weird angle on that first picture from the Cubs game.
-
Toews should do better than that. Her head is enormous.
-
Maybe they think Devin A. will pull a reverse Berrian
-
They suck ass.
-
Why? The receivers stink.
-
Let's get into a tiresome semantic argument over whether "prize of the undrafted free agent class" is dumb phrashing or not. Because it is.
