    If they are going to pretend they wanted him all along they should have been more committal when repeatedly given the opportunity to since Pace was hired.

    Good

    Cutler is a 'first class douche.' I'd think Kaep is more of a 'second class douche.' #progress Cutler is not a douche at all, anti-vaxxer wife aside. He's a [expletive] bad ass. Kaepernick is, in fact, a douche, however. jay himself is an anti-vaxxer. they're his kids too. No doubt he deserves some blame but I think she gets more of the blame by people because everyone assumes it was driven by her and Jay was like "whatever"

    I love how the Cubs only notable major league FA acquisition from 2011-2014 ends up being the worst pitcher in baseball.

    This dude reported the Marshall to Jets trade an hour before the big guys had it Had to look up some info on him. PFF rated him the second best 3-4 OLB in the league last year with Baltimore.

    Definitely not a full rebuild. There is really no such thing as a full rebuild in the NFL. But the Bears need a [expletive] load of help at a lot of positions. It might take a season or two to get the pieces in place. Replacing the QB in the draft seems to be a completely crapshoot so we would have to get a bit lucky there if we cut bait with Cutler

    I don't know but since it seems like they are seriously considering getting rid of Cutler, it's a possibility that's on the table unless you know of another QB that's even a slight possibility of acquiring that makes the Bears contenders in 1-2 years. I could have my timeline wrong but I believe when Fox was hired the available openings were the Bears, Falcons, and Raiders. The Falcons were zeroed in on Quinn and were waiting for the Seahawks season to end. The Raiders would be a job less ready for winning. The Bears were there as a reasonably attractive option and more importantly, they were interested in Fox. It's possible that Fox took the job knowing that there might be a year or two of quasi rebuilding.

    With Jimmy Clausen signed Friday, this is pretty interesting. Veteran who can start a few games if they draft Mariotta and get rid of Cutler? lol

    Kane has missed 18 games the last 2 seasons. The Hawks have been shut out in 6 of those games.
  10. UMFan83
    Well that was a mostly terrible performance and we managed a point out of it. Offense looks terrible the past couple of games. I get that Kane is a major blow to miss and I know we're getting a new piece acclimated to the team, but I expect better.
  11. UMFan83
    That's crawfords point

    Bickell and Desjardins healthy scratches in favor of Carcillo and Nordstrom?

    I guess this is not too crazy because it was 8 years ago which is a lifetime in the NFL but with Briggs gone, and I'm assuming Tillman gone, the only members of the 2006 Bears remaining are Gould and Garza. I'm guessing Garza is safe next year because the old administration signed him to a 1 year extension but I'm guessing next year is his last. Gould I could see being cut if Pace and Fox don't want to spend top dollar on a kicker. Just kind of weird that all those great Bears on the 2006 defense, Briggs, Urlacher, Harris, Brown, Tillman all gone.
  17. UMFan83
    Yes especially with the Wild nipping at our heels.

    Drago? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/33/Lundgren_Ivan_Drago.jpg

    I agree with the overall sentiment that his value will only go down but he's not that old, he's turning 31 in a couple of weeks. It's not like he's a receiver that uses speed to make things happen. I can see him slowly morphing into a crafty possession receiver similar to the end of Muhsin Muhammad's career. And how is he injured other than the rib and ankle injuries that will be healed by training camp?
  20. UMFan83
    Ha true! I met him and Boers last fall at Bannerman's in Bartlett during one of their shows leading up to the Bears-Jets MNF game. He is every bit the jerk in person as he is on the radio. Insulting people in the audience just like he does with the callers. Although maybe the people in the audience are as stupid as his callers? He and Boers were out the door the second the show ended. I like Bernstein most of the time, but when he goes off on meatball tangents like this he's annoying. He's definitely a guy you either love or hate.

    If anyone was wondering, June 11th was the first game that the Cubs offered bleacher tickets for purchase today.
  22. UMFan83
    It makes sense to me...it was pretty obvious that the Bears were going to cut him if they couldn't find someone to trade for him.
