    No real point to that post. I just felt like hating on those guys a little bit for whatever reason.

    I wouldn't mind starting a run like the Dodgers had in the early/mid 90's in terms of ROY awards. Here's the difference: Their minor league system was good. Ours is not. Meh. Mondesi, Nomo, and Holla didn't wind up being all that great. Karros was good but sort of meh as well.

    Gaudin? Gaudin isn't spanking anybody. 1 hit 1 run and a bunch of walks through 4. We should be doing better. like four or five balls to the warning track with runners on base he's extremely lucky to have that line

    Isn't it a mutual option after 2011 for Aramis?

    I can't imagine that anybody had them 32nd following the 05 season, but I suppose anything is possible. Maybe it was before 05. He definitely had them No. 32 preseason one year where they were good. I would've picked them pretty low, too. Maybe not 32nd with that defense, but the team was terrible in 04, so there wasn't much to go on there. And they were going into the season with a rookie Kyle Orton having beaten out Chad Hutchinson for the starting QB job. The 04 team was ravished with injuries especially defensively and it was the first year of implementing Lovie's cover 2 system. I expected the 05 team to he much improved with grossman healthy (at least we thought at the time) and an outside shot at competing for a wild card spot in a weaker NFC. It really depends on how early these rankings were. Grossman got hurt in the preseason and we, again, went into the regular season with Kyle Orton as the starting QB. The defense still hadn't hit the stride it hit in 05, and we really had no idea what to expect from them and if Lovie's defense would amount to anything.

    Haha, this is awesome. Missed one line, but otherwise got it very quickly. I still say it's TWIST turned upside down, no matter what that quiz says. Nah, that's flipped. But I did always think it was "Yo Holmes, to Bel Air" It is. That's wrong.

    Right. It's no mystery when surprise WRs like an Eddie Royal or Marques Colston have Jay Cutler and Drew Brees throwing to them.
  17. David
    Right. I sort of misinterpreted what you were saying, but yea. I am sort of of the feeling that whoever gets thrown to a lot is the guy who steps up. We shall see... It'll be interesting to see what happens with Cutler going to what is viewed as a crappy corps of receivers and Orton going over to what is seen as a solid, if not great, group of playmakers this year. I tend to think the QB makes all the difference and it'll be interesting to see if that holds true in this particular case. All that said, I find it hard to feel slighted by a guy who puts the Bears 4th in the NFL at this point. :)
  18. David
    And where does King even say that someone is going to step up and become a solid WR? He pretty much just points out that the Bears and Cutler will have to get by with what he deems an inferior corps of receivers.
  19. David
    I'm of the opinion that outside of the truly elite receivers, like a Randy Moss or a TO (in his prime), and a few pretty good ones just a cut below, they're all pretty much the same. Most of them are mediocre and are as good as their QB's make them. That's not to say that some aren't better than others, but I just feel that the QB is the much bigger part of the equation. Going into 06, people were clamoring for the Bears to get Ashley Lelie or Joey Porter. Then Rex Grossman made Bernard Berrian a name and figured out that Des Clark could still run somewhere and catch the ball. I just don't think it matters all that much. They're in the NFL for a reason.

    but i always did think he was saying "that this cab was weird" i only found out a few years ago that he was saying "rare"

    i've always thought it was "flipped"

    If we could keep it to just NBA, MLB, and NFL, I could probably get them all...

    I actually posted this morning on another forum that it'd be nice to have Freels on our roster instead of Gathright, so I'm mildly pleased by this.

    How badly did we rank in offensive TOP last year?
