I cheer for Michigan and I laughed the first time I saw this a couple years ago.
-
Which makes sense because a) Williams is younger than Peppers is (although Peppers is better) and b) You have to overpay to get FAs to come to Buffalo.

I can't think of a better person to say this. He's certainly not Captain Understanding Sarcasm

Nope they get to post in the NIT CBI offseason college basketball thread.
-
It's not even close. I know...Detroit fans must be jealous that they have the 2nd best WR in the division now.

2011 bears, colts, eagles?, chiefs? Could probably add the Texans in there. Granted they still stumbled into the post-season, but with Schaub they could have made a deep run of it. Right but they were using their 3rd string QB because their starter and backup went down. There was not much of an opportunity for their backup to prove he could keep the Texans going strong. If you lose your starter and backup, well that's just unfortunate and no one would ever consider making sure you have a good 3rd string.

2011 bears, colts, eagles?, chiefs? Colts were heading downwards and getting worse every year, but I guess I'll give you that. The Eagles season didn't get derailed because Vick was hurt, they lost plenty of games with him in there, and Vince Young didn't really have any less success. The Chiefs were mediocre to begin with and were already under .500 when Cassell went down. When Cutler went down the Bears were 7-3 and on fire. People were talking about them as a legit contender. That changed the whole season. But that just doesn't happen too often where a star QB goes down midway through a contender's season and the backup QB isn't good enough to keep them going. All I'm saying is that its not worth investing resources that should go to other positions that actually make an impact every week. I'd personally rather draft a QB somewhere later in the draft and resign McNown, but again I don't mind Campbell at all, he's pretty good for a backup.
-
I like Jason Campbell but I do worry that the Bears apparently made that a high priority. What percent of promising NFL seasons are ruined because the backup QB isn't good enough? Maybe 1 out of every 200 across the league? I mean you are making a high priority of a position that if all goes well won't play the entire season. I understand the value of it, and its a nice luxury to have, but that's all it is, a luxury. As long as they don't spend too much time/resources persuing this backup QB, whether it be Campbell or someone else, I guess I'm ok with it.

Rose fined 25K for the aforementioned comments about referees last night. That's .01% of his Adidas contract.
-
Check a couple posts up. I know...that was originally a post reporting the Campbell visit, then once I saw it already posted I changed it to that before seeing CT posted it. I'm not changing it again, oh well.

I didnt catch who was saying this, but they said on the Score that rival NFC North GMs have been texting that they are none to happy with this deal.

stop panicing. There's a chance he never does get on that plane to Buffalo. And just because a team doesnt want the player to leave without a contract doesn't mean the player can't leave if he wants to. When UMFan tells you to stop panicking, you've reached a new level of overreaction. I wonder how this move affects the Bears power ranking numbers.

Twitter is loving the Bears right now. They are saying if we got Mario Williams we will compete for the Super Bowl. (this is just random fans of various NFL teams not analysts) My favorite tweet was the guy saying that if the Bears got Mario Williams as well, the Bears will be his Madden team this year.
-
Hub Arkush is down on the trade....what a surprise! He is saying that Marshall is a big trouble maker, and is saying there has to be something wrong with him if he could be had for 2 3rds. Also if Manning doesnt want Marshall thats a bad sign. Repeatedly saying he can't be comfortable with how inexpensively they got him. He did say he's a great WR and Cutler is comfortable with him so that's good.

You have sources?

Greg Olsen and a 3rd round pick in 2013 for Brandon Marshall.

Jerry Angelo would never have made this move considering Brandon Marshall's history, which isnt really that bad, but enough to deter Angelo. Already we are heading in a new direction.
