    Let's not forget to add fat Soto and Mike Fontenot to the list as well. Because the disparity between 2008 Dero to 2009 Font and 2008 Soto to 2009 Soto is HUGE. Soto has definitely had a bad year, no doubt. But wasn't he injured twice? Plus the whole "pot test" distraction. He's the least of my worries moving forward. I think he'll be better next season. Fontenot was a disappointment, but I think a lot of people thought that might happen (though they certainly hoped it wouldn't.)

    not many teams would be able to play through the injuries we've had. I actually think we've played pretty well when our key guys went down . Derosa would've helped with compensating for those injuries.
  3. Banedon
    Got that guys? We were winning because of Koyie Hill.

    If he has, they should DL him for the rest of the season now. Let him heal up.

    Saw that this morning. Can't really argue. Yeah...no information to be able to argue with. He's about as unknown of a factor as you can be.
  6. Banedon
    Do. Not. Believe. They've cried wolf far too many times.

    Don Banks has Caleb Hanie as the worst #2 QB in the league. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/don_banks/08/20/backups/2.html

    I think all will be forgiven and forgotten if he has a good game on Saturday. If he struggles again, you're gonna see a lot of people freaking out. Chicago is kind of a "freak out" type of sports city.
  9. Banedon
    That's what I said. This seems like a case where the rich pro athlete sure didn't receive any breaks. Actually he did! And he freaking turned it down...that's the hilarious part. He turned down an earlier plea deal that would've been 3 months.

    Someone that throws deep and into coverage? Hmm, last time we had a QB who did that he was almost literally run out of town by fans. Our receivers were better back then too. Are you arguing that Rex = Cutler?
  11. Banedon
    Yes. He has some legal stuff going on. He's at best a 1-year solution. He would be taking time away from someone that could actually develop as a long-time future target of Cutler like Bennett, Rideau, Iglesias, Knox, or Aromashodu. Also, that would mean one of these guys would NOT make the team, along w/ Davis....and that's if the Bears keep the max 6 WRs. I'm with you on this, but isn't Harrison's legal issue a thing of the past? I thought nothing came of it. As of Aug 6th it was still ongoing....unless something has happened since that I'm not aware of. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/08/06/marvin-harrison-still-waiting/

    Cutler clarifying the Hester comments, and another tidbit I found interesting:
  13. Banedon
    Haha...Smoltz is starting?
  14. Banedon
    lol...so Dungy craps all over Cutler, but now he thinks his buddy Harrison would be a great fit? Ok.
  15. Banedon
    Nice find...my favorite part:
  16. Banedon
    It doesn't matter. If they release him they don't owe him anything. He has $6M guaranteed automatically for this year and most likely the full $12M. Beyond that he gets nothing unless he's on the roster opening day next September. The cap hit for the $6 mil guaranteed will get split over the two years if I understand this salary cap stuff correctly
  17. Banedon
    Yeah....they only take a cap hit on the proration of the signing bonus. Only guaranteed money is a cap hit.

    Rosenbloom is awful. He loves the cute nicknames like the "Chicago Cutlers" or calling preseason games "fake games". And if he's being serious about the Bears going 14-2, he's certifiable.
  20. Banedon
    Are you surprised by this? They did all that last year when he came to NY. Kind of a big difference between NY and Minny though. And definitely a different rivalry history.
  21. Banedon
    The Cardinals going on a pretty significant slide is the only way we're winning this thing.
  22. Banedon
    Am I nuts for thinking Marshall should get a shot at closing?
  23. Banedon
    Boy, I was really hoping for more info out of MMQB today. I knew it was going to be Bears heavy, but nothing there was really new.
  24. Banedon
    Yeah...Basaenez doesn't instill much confidence, but I think if Cutler were to go down, and Hanie had to start any number of games, the Bears would look to pick up somebody off the scrap heap anyhow. I think Basaenez probably only plays if Cutler and Hanie both got injured in the same game, in which case, we're SOL anyway.

    How this didn't turn into a Sandberg photoshop thread, a la the Soriano thread, I'll never know.
