    Having more yards does not automatically make one a better receiver. well no [expletive]. the point I'm making is that we need a CJ type (who can score once we're in the red zone) and less of the BM type (whose numbers translate into more a possession type). Oh, okay. I don't agree with your theory though. It's not like what is holding this offense back is a lack of red zone success. They need to get to the red zone. They need the yards. They can use help at every area of the field.

    Yes, but Johnson does it better. I'm not saying Marshall sucks.

    I'm really not sure why somebody would think that they can't walk away. They went hard after Epstein and if they can't get him due to unwarrented demands by an insane organization that is currently falling apart, they can get another guy they can sell to the public.

    My impression is that while he isn't as good as Johnson, he is the same type of receiver. as i said, i don't see much of a difference other than that johnson can jump a little higher and marshall is a bit more physical. marshall seems to be a bit more of a possession receiver as well and isn't used quite so much in the red zone for some reason. Johnson seems to be more sane, tough and dependable.

    Potentially an incredible amount of difference. I've been saying all along you either have to make the line very good or give him a game changing receiver he can trust. You can't give him a crap line with nothing but mediocre receivers. Having that type of receiver could make it very difficult on defenses.

    A seat belt on a generic sedan probably isn't nearly as supportive as all the stuff that ties you down into the cockpit with a helmet on.

    what is #22 doing there to Reid? It seems like he may be performing a cup check.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    I don't really buy the notion that better athletes equal better durability.

    Who is arguing that Hester is the Bears most important player? Start with the list of people who hate Cutler.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    No, it'll probably take another decade.

    http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2011/10/in-the-galaxy-of-equivocating-slobs-peter-king-is-one.html Peter King and Drew Magary weigh in on the coach fight, King thinks that coaches should wear suits to keep them in-line.

    To an extent. But he's lobbied for things like shorter drops and realizing what they can and cannot do. As I said, it may be reading between the lines, but when you combine the fact that Marshall is certifiably crazy with what Cutler has said when asked about him, it seems to me that at the very least he's not recommending the guy to management.

    I'd rather a manager be removed from the dugout when his team is at bat; less chance he'd screw up. The thing I care about is knowing how to handle a pitching staff. Beyond that, just be a in a trance for all I care. Maybe in the first 6 innings. It can be very helpful to have a manager make good decisions in the last 3 innings. Sure it can be. If they make smart moves it feels great. But the problem is the more they try to do in the name of "making things happen", instead of just letting the players play baseball, the more it can hurt the team. I'm just saying that what might be called overmanaging is very useful at the end of close games. Where mangers get into trouble is that they try to apply those principles throughout an entire game. Bunting before the 8th inning for example should pretty much never be done by a non-pitcher. In the 8th or 9th the math would expand the number of potential bunting situations greatly. And I'm just saying that stuff is only useful when it works, and a lot of it is actually very harmful to the team.

    CSN needs to stop putting that Patrick Mooney guy on TV. He's not good at it.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Really? Why? It was the consensus before Peyton got hurt that he was just the coach in name and that entire team revolved around Manning. He's barely a coach.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Have there? Any links to that? The only reason I could see people thinking this way was the incident when they played each other last year where Marshall got a first down and tossed the ball to Cutler on the sidelines, but from all indications, that was done in good fun not as a means of antagonizing Cutler. Nothing to do with that. He's been asked on more than one occasion specifically about bringing Marshall here and he's been pretty ho-hum on the idea.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    He was frightened.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Didn't they have way too few rest days early last season?
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I think that would make Angelo is more against the idea of acquiring him.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Have there? Any links to that? I'm probably reading between the lines, but when asked about him Cutler has been hesitent to say much positive, other than the obvious that he can have a big impact. It seems to me he grew tired of his act. But maybe he just didn't want to rock the boat in an organization that insists their WR position is solid.

    I like the idea of giving up a big pick for Marshall, other than the fact that there are indications Cutler has been against the idea.
