Wow, SF and Kaepernick look good. Glad to see the Cheeseheads out of it. Now Clements becomes available, if Emery deems him worthy enough. GB doomed themselves by losing to Minny in Week 17. A win and they would've had a Bye last week and a home game this week. So much for Rodgers being the savior that can win any game on his own. Nothing can help a defense that bad.

This is not who you want, but who do you think Emery will select as the next HC? I an interested to see who the top 3 will be, and if it is in line with what I believe.

1-20: Trade down to (29) with San Francisco aquire 3-92, lose 5th ( with Barrett Jones and Warmack gone prior to 20) 1-29: OLB Alec Ogletree - Speedy, athletic freak with Football Skill to go with it 2-50: LT Lane Johnson - The run on OTs slows down, and bears get a beast RT or LT. Extremely athletic and a football player. Played QB and TE and apparently strong as hell (his arms are very long, so his reps may be about average) 3-90: OT/G Kyle Long - Pedigree, pedigree 3-90: TE Joe Fauria - stickin with this guy.. Just love his passion 4-116: G/C Braxston Cave - What a sweet name "The Caveman" 6: OLB/DE Brandon Jenkins - with McClellin being a #…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...ting-bears-job/ I think Brian Bear called it yesterday if it turns out to be true...

any interest.. Looks like Jimmy Graham 6'7. 260 11TDs would love a guy who has some passion...

Rank the coaching candidates based on who you think is the best fit. I'll explain my top 3 Mine: 1- McCoy 2- Dennison 3- Trestman 4- Sullivan 5- Bevell 6- Arians 7- Carmichael 8- Clements 9- Toub 10- Decamillas The rest-- Hell no! Top 3: 1- McCoy Type of offense: Shotgun heavy passing attack/short-medium, mix of power running and zone running concepts + Adaptable + Gets the most out of a QB + Experience working with Peyton Manning + Young and hungry - Best year statistically as an offense is this season under Manning - Uncertainty over how much control he has over play calling 2- Dennison Type o…

Admins, maybe we can pin this to keep track of other HC positions being filled? 1. Chiefs- Andy Reid 2. Bills- Doug Marrone 3. Browns- Rob Chudzinski 4. Chargers- Mike McCoy 5. Bears- Marc Trestman 6. Eagles- Chip Kelly 7. Jaguars- Gus Bradley 8. Cardinals- Bruce Arians

1. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama 2. Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma 4. Jonathan Franklin, RB, UCLA 5. Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State 6. Chris Gragg, TE, Arkansas

It if funny how people were comparing Cutler and Griffin right after the Redskins loss, and how Griffin "toughed" it out and stayed in to play (even though he was completely worthless after the initial injury). http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013...ee-acl-redskins They have to do a graft of his left patella to reconstruct the ACL in his right knee, which was previously injured and repaired. To me, this is a huge red flag. He is on his 2nd ACL surgery as a rookie, and the way he plays, he won't last very long in the league. He is not built like AP. To me, it was the wrong call, in the game, and for his career. They did not have a realis…

Pretty good read, and always nice to see a positive article about Jay: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown...57266--nfl.html

1. Barrett Jones, C, Alabama --Love 2. DJ Fluker, T, Alabama --Love 4. Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State --Good pick and value. 5. Zach Sudfeld, TE, Nevada --6'6, 255 pounds, 45 catches and 9 TD's this past year. 6. Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon --6'3, 220 pounds, 97 catches and 18 TD's in 2012. 7. DJ Harper, RB, Boise State --Smaller back at 5'9, 205 but had 15 TD's this past season. (the comments under each player are my comments)

Bama's entire offensive line. Good thing Lovie is gone, Hed try to convert them to TE or DT

Ok everyone i found a tracker with regards to possible free agents and how they graded out in 2012. Check it out www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/01/07/2013-pff-free-agency-tracker/ Free Agency Tracker

Because some have mentioned releasing him, I had the thought, "What would the Bears get for him in trade?" I'm not sure I would do it, but if a team were willing to give a 1st and a 2nd, or something like that, I might do it as the Bears GM.

I sign Mike McCoy as the new HC I resign Melton,Roach,Louis,McGown. and Izzy to a one year contract I resturcture Tillman and Marshalls contract I cut J. Peppers due to his 12 million due this year,Spaeth, Kellen Davis In FAgency I sign Bushrod/LT/NO- Saints are way over salary cap so more likey to complete a deal. Levitre/LG/Buff- Young and up and coming Cook/TE/Tenn-ready to breakout In the draft #1 Ansah/DE/BYU to replace Peppers spot #2 Mitner/MLB/LSU Urlachers spot, starts from day one #4 Denard Robinson/WR/Mic…
