    it's a miracle. best move the bears have made all off-season. Who is going to play RT? They have an unproven LT, an aging center, a young and average LG, and an old RG. Why did they have to lowball St. Clair? He played pretty good last year I thought.
  2. Wilson A2000
    Easier said that done in a bad economy, in a player who has been bad and injured, and in a league that is saving for 2010. Jerry has eaten contracts before, but not one with $55 million left. Especially if he is paying three coaches next year. With that said, I wouldn't mind Deng gone. I had high hopes for him.
  3. Wilson A2000
    Expect Deng to be remarkably healed very soon. Or maybe he is too soft to come back even when his starting spot is in danger. Is there any chance of getting rid of his contract this offseason?
  4. Wilson A2000
    I follow the Hawks, but not as closely as some people here. What has happened to them? Injuries? A dry spell? Are they just playing badly? Rookie or second year wall?
  5. Wilson A2000
    The Bears aren't cheap, at least on the defensive side of the football.
  6. Wilson A2000
    If it works, I wouldn't mind it at all. But I haven't heard any rumors that the Bears are interested. What would Minnesota be willing to give up? If they landed Cutler, mail in the next 5 years.
  7. Wilson A2000
    What about Briggs, how much was his signing bonus? Cutler only got a $1.7 million upfront, but those roster bonuses are killer ($16 million!). Can the Bears afford that without dumping one of their sizable contracts?
  8. Wilson A2000
    Probably, but given the salary cap ramifications one year into his deal, I'm not sure it would work. The Bears gave Lance a sizable signing bonus. How far into his deal is Cutler? I am not sure the Bears would want to give up a good player, lose the signing bonus, and have to pay another to Cutler is he only had a few years left.
  9. Wilson A2000
    The bigger and bigger this story gets, the more I realize that Cutler is a baby.
  10. Wilson A2000
    I've heard that the Broncos don't want draft picks. Is that true?
  11. Wilson A2000
    He should have seen much more playing time in the regular season. I don't trust those who say the Bears must not have thought he was ready because I don't trust Lovie to be a talent evaluator. Urlacher for Cutler!
  12. Wilson A2000
    He's saving money for Lebron in 2010. I remember when ESPN ran the finances of the NFL owners. The Bears have the single biggest market in the NFL, but weren't even in the top 5 in revenue. What are they doing wrong? But the problem isn't spending. The Bears are always right around the cap limit. They just spend unwisely.

    On one of the updates on the Score today, the lead Bulls story was that Noah made a jumpshot in the New Orleans game. Really. The story wasn't making fun of Noah, but it noted as to how he is improving. So a first-round draft pick made a jumper in the NBA and that is newsworthy! Oh but he is working and getting better. Please.

    Vinny has to cut his minutes dramatically to get it into his head that he cannot shoot the ball outside of 10 feet. Who does Tyrus think he is?
  15. Wilson A2000
    Haha, classic UMF. It's not even the middle of March and you're panicking. It's not panicking, its called an opinion. Your opinion is filled with panic. If Carlos blew a game this early in ST, no one would care. On that last play, the guy just stuck out the bat and placed it perfectly. Nothing much you could do about it. But I never wanted Carlos to be the closer this year. I am not sure if he has the make-up yet.
  16. Wilson A2000
    Why not? Outside of Rose, he is the only player opponents of the Bulls have to care about. If he was a #2 scorer on a good team, he would not get the ball as much, but would get great looks.
  17. Wilson A2000
    Zambrano is a better hitter than Theriot. This discussion is interesting. For a guy who led regulars in average and OBP, outside of Fukudome, all of the other hitters I would consider better.
  18. Wilson A2000
    Are you still pretending that it doesn't have a chance? Why do you think DeRosa was traded?
  19. Wilson A2000
    There is no defense in that unit. There is no height in that unit. Salmons can guard a 2, but not a 3.
  20. Wilson A2000
    Ben would be a second option on good to great teams. Incorrect. Why not? He averages 20 points and is usually the go-to guy on a terrible team. How many players who score 20 a game are not the second scoring option?
  21. Wilson A2000
    I don't want Samardzija's arm wasted as a reliever without getting a shot at starting first. Without Jeff, the Cubs have one of the best starting staffs in MLB. Without Jeff the pen is just a notch above average. I'll take Samardzija in the pen.
  22. Wilson A2000
    I think the team is better with Marshall as a starter and Jeff as a reliever than the other way around. The starting pitching is a strength of this team and the bullpen could really use his services. I don't want Jeff's arm wasted at AAA.
  23. Wilson A2000
    Technically Lou said he is leaning that way, not that Fukudome is penciled in at the 2 spot.
  24. Wilson A2000
    Well he doesn't have to hit .300, and there's no reason to think he can't put up a .350+ OBP. He has only averaged 240 AB's the last two years. His OBP is right at .370 for those two years (.330 or so in 2007, .390 last year). I just don't have any reason to believe he will be consistent with more playing time right now. I hope he does, but his numbers fluctuated so far. Time will tell.
