  1. My only issue with this is now you have to add RB to the list of needs. Along with Manning testing the waters, Adams not re-signed yet, and 4 of 6 LBs not under contract....the Bears have too many needs with only 6 draft picks. I really don't want to trade down just for the sake of trading down. I guess they can go with Khalil Bell (RFA), Unga (supplemental pick on IR), and possibly re-sign Wolfe (UFA) to back up Forte, but they obviously weren't willing to do that this year. adding a RB to replace Taylors 2.7 yrds a carry isn't a huge need. that could be done with a undrafted FA signing for crying out loud. and save a kitty to boot. I understand that I myself could probably get 2.7 ypc. But that doesn't mean the Bears would trust me to do that. I don't think some undrafted guy is going to spark the confidence in the staff to be the #2 RB. And if not, your other choices are a RB that was inactive all of 2010 and showed enough in 2009 to make them think they needed to get Chester Taylor, an undersized RB who may actually not be able to get 2.7 ypc, and a rookie who spent all of 2010 on IR. I'm fine with Bell and an undrafted rookie RB. But I don't know that the Bears would be, and I'd rather keep Chester than use a precious draft pick to replace him. saving that much money on Taylor, spending it on a FA, could easily give them the option of drafting a RB
  2. it's more than just Rodgers, they've got stars all over the field on both sides of the ball. and Woodson aside, they're all really young. its mostly Rodgers, though. free agency and big contracts else where will eventually deplete the team of talent. That reality puts a lot of pressure on their drafting abilities. And despite the unusual number of injuries this year, they aren't guaranteed any more health next year. What happens if they remain completely healthy next year except for Rodgers who blows out a knee in the 3rd game? Is Matt Flynn capable of carrying them through the playoffs? They lose 2 of the 3 playoff games they had with out Rodgers. the league turns over so quickly anymore, I'm not buying the dynasty just yet.

  4. Darth Vader starting the car was the best

  6. good news I think
  7. Gaither? http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/264411-baltimore-ready-to-cut-ties-with-gaither?eref=fromSI
  8. big tall slow. mike williams lite?
  9. use the term correctly dammit.
  10. WHAT A [expletive]:
  11. he was a borderline bust and a project for Marinelli. granted, if we had him opposite Peppers, he probably could have really excelled
  12. link doesnt work
  13. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE URLACHER: http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/01/brian-urlacher-still-upset-over-jay-cutler-criticism.html

  15. I lol'd good for them
  16. the guard play was actually pretty good at the end of the year. this team needs a competent LT. it needs mankins to replace Garza
  17. screw soccer. they can play in Grant Park.
  18. Mark Sanchez, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Ken Dorsey, Bruce Gradkowski, Charlie Frye, Trent Dilfer. Those have been Braylon Edwards' QBs in the NFL. Only twice has he been on an offense that passed for more than 3000 yards. One of those was his near 1300 yard season. The other was this year and he had 904 yards with a very up and down QB. same could be said for Terrell
  19. Edwards just gives me nightmares of David Terrell, although more success. I dont think he is a big improvement over knox. knox nearly had 1000 receiving yards this season, Edwards has only done that once in his career.
  20. the roughing the passer was bs. his helmet does hit Rodgers shoulder, thats why Peppers helmet twists before it hits Rodgers helmet. the only other thing he could have done was to put his helmet in front of rodgers, but even then it would have likely slid up his chest and into rodgers facemask its a no-win for Peppers.
  21. I think Jones is more likely. The Vikings will press hard for Rice, and San Diego may do the same for Jackson. Granted, if they dont, then there is an opportunity for da Bears. but lets say da Bears sign Jackson, won't the media have fun with Cutler and him?
  22. looks like he has a limp to me.
  23. Locker reminds me of Orton a bit.
  24. Pouncey, depending on free agency/CBA talks
