  1. Because he sucks, and he has a poor attitude on top of it. And with no possibility of dealing him, Angelo's not going to sink more mega-cash into the position on a guy like Turner. He might go RB in the draft, but I would still lean towards OT @ 14. A lot depends on how the draft breaks too -- sometimes a totally unexpected player falls to you, as Tommie Harris did to us a few years ago. if Otah and Clady were gone and Mendenhall still there @14, I would support them taking him
  2. I culd be convinced of Bryant Johnson. he has had some good games, when he gets in. same for Bradley really. and hester can burn anyone ...that lack of confidence I sense in your response surely must be bourne on the wings of a realization that none of those guys are actual good NFL wide receivers. am I being too obvious? so, how willl Turner adjust the offensive scheme to a two TE set? does he have the mental capacity to do so?

  4. Looks like Drew got BB his money: I am now officially PRAYING Mark Bradley pans out
  5. I think Berrian is much more replaceable color me skeptical. at least we had Williams. who replaces BB? time will tell. I just dont want to sit here and take all the "points and laughs" from my friends if and when BB scores on us maybe Mike Brown will take him out or something...
  6. beat ya ;) I was lookng forward to what Williams could do, but I do like Briggs alot. Welcome back LB.
  7. hmmm..so thats why we didnt resign Berrian: http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2008/03/briggs_agrees_to_deal.html#more 55 54 together again http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl
  8. the #'s the news up here reported were 6 yrs, $20 mil garanteed. thats not far from Angelo offered. If they were that close, what stopped the Bears? the garanteed money? seems like BB got a resonable deal. Angelo offered 8 million in guaranteed money. If Berrian really received 20 million guaranteed, the two sides weren't even close to the same ballpark. 1) I cant spell "guaranteed" 2) I'm really not sure what I heard on the news. But $20 mil over 6 years is $3.3 per year guaranteed. IDK how the Vikings structured the contract, or howmuch more is possible in the contract, but that starting point doesnt seem like alot to me. 3) It worries me more that his replacement wont be someone of any known caliber. Bradley? I was a huge fan of the draft pick, but he hasnt done anything and cant seem to unseat the terrible BB "who isnt worth the money". Walker? The guy is a about kin to a Civil War Vet by now. Moss? no way we spend that money. I am just frustrated. I would be happier if we were in a Fitzgerald sweepstakes, but Angelo is just sitting on his hands.
  9. Stallworth + Edwards + Winslow wow.

  11. 2 days 2 long grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'll live.
  12. exactly. they seem to be ok with picking up scraps at thispoint. like someone earlier wrote, this season is a rebuilding one. I dont believe in rebuilding.
  13. awesome. so BB is a Viking, and we are excited about replacing him with Bryant freaking Johnson. Its going to be a long season.
  14. there wasn't anyone to throw him the ball in chicago either The medicore QB situation in Chicago is still better than the absolute crap known as Tavaris Jackson. sure about that? tarvaris: http://www.nfl.com/players/tarvarisjackson/careerstats?id=JAC566507 rex: http://www.nfl.com/players/rexgrossman/careerstats?id=GRO597298 I would probably take Jackson over any of the Bears' QBs last year. If for no other reason than Jackson is younger and isn't injury prone. he isnt?
  15. pfffft..your just saying that cuz he's the enemy ;)
  16. I have a very bad feeling about BB going to the Vikings
  17. what makes you think so? (other then what might seem possible or probable?) http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/huddleup/2008/02/piniella-hendry.html awesome thanks

  19. 1) the Bears offer was a pretty fair one 2) who in gods green planet is going to give him a Branch-like deal? David Haugh is absolutely convinced the Bears must pay whatever it takes to keep Berrian. These beat writers must have an in with Bernard or something. What is the logic in feeling forced to keep your best receiver at all costs in order to maintain your offensive production when your best receiver has never put up good numbers and your offense has always been poor? Of all the sports, the NFL demands that smart teams do not overpay players, and it has been shown repeatedly that free agents are relatively easy to replace. There are very few irreplacable players in football - most of them are quarterbacks. Very few play receiver. David Haugh is a man who speaks as if his tongue is too big for his mouth

  21. on the bottom line ticker on ESPN, they scrolled something about the Bears being upset with the 49'ers for contacting Briggs too soon. did anyone else see that?
  22. it would appear JA never intended to franchise BB http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/cs-080221chicago-bears-bernard-berrian,1,2012216.story lets hope Olsen, Bradley and Clark are big int he offense next year. also, the offered Grossman a contract
