I have been looking for stats on WR dropped passes for 2007. The only link I have is for a site called sports.iwon.com where it gives the top 20 players in each conference. On that listing (use link above to view) it only shows D Clark of CHI in the top 20 with 6 drops (bad news since he does not get as many looks as many others on the list). What would be interesting is a listing of WRs showing drops in relation to looks, or in otherwords, the percentage of drops compared to receptions/catchable passes. How would Moose & Berrian compare to others around the league? I think we would be surprised to find they are no where near the leaders in this area.

I looked at our stats from last year (brutal) and compared to what we have so far this year. The offense, overall has improved in most areas and only regressed slightly in Passing Yards per game (by 3), Rushing YPC, by 0.09, and Comp% by about 3% (not as many Forte dink and dunks). On the positive side, we cut down on turnovers by almost 0.5 per game (INTs cut in half), and our run game produced 22 more yards per game which increased TOP by over a minute. --------------- 2014 / 2015 Points/Game - 19.9 / 20.6 + Yards/Game - 327.1 / 346.1 + Passer Rating - 89.03 / 89.49 + Completion % - 65.57% / 62.79% - Passing Yds/G - 237.0 / 234.0 - Neg Pass Plays% - 8…

OK, Im still not sold on Cutler. I know how it FEELS with him in there. I wonder if he will ever stop making throws into double coverage. Still, the stats don't lie, and they tell a different story. I dunno. I just dunno. http://voices.suntimes.com/sports/interact...e-quarterbacks/

Here is a projection of our team from some idiot on Bleacher Report for 2012. Cutler- 56%-3024-18-28 his reasoning is Cutler just isnt a very good QB Forte-340/822-2tds-5 fumbles his reasoning that with him being unhappy will preform badly Bush- will be on IR because RBs that change teams get hurt Marshall-50-488-3 his reasoning is he will get in trouble and wont play a full season Jeffery-24-302-1td need to to develope Bennett-60-608-4 tds actually he is probably accurate with these numbers. The guys name is Bryce Jackson and I think he sounds like a GB high schooler that knows somebody on that website that let him write …

Status of Bears rookie Williams up in the air Article from the way we hear it - PFW:

Im really hoping we are full strength for this asshole lions team... even tho they will put up 40 according to Roy Williams

Cutler: 18-33, 233 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 rush TD Forte: 24 rushes, 79 yards Wolfe: 4 rushes, 13 yards, 1 catch, 33 yards Hester: 6 catches, 68 yards, 1 TD Bennett: 5 catches, 59 yards Olsen: 3 catches, 43 yards Aromashodu: 2 catches, 19 yards Knox: 1 catch, 11 yards Bears 20-16

Muffed punt recovered by McManus!

Good ol' Chicago citizens

Here it is: I would like to see Redman and Shipley on that list come to Bears. Shipley kinda intrigues me.

ESPNChiBears Jeff Dickerson #Bears agree to terms on one-year deals with safeties Craig Steltz and Danny McCray.

Poles is going to address who he wants to keep before going into free agency. David Montgomery Poles already said he loves what he brings to the team: work ethic, leadership, toughness. Because of a gluten of RBs, he'll sign for a team friendly deal. Say 4- 27 mil with 14 guaranteed / last year void able. Essentially 3- 20 mi Cole Kmet. Poles called him a blue chip player say 4- 37 mil 16 guaranteed He brings back DHC 2- 5 mil Tevor Wesco - vet minimum Josh Blackwell - vet minimum Armon Watts- vet minimum Byron Pringle- 3 mil with no guarantee_( will let him prove himself)

I personally believe all is not so bleak in the Bears future as many seem to think. I have seen this type of post elsewhere, I believe back on Bearstalk.com, but I thought it would be worth mentioning again. Since the year 2000 only one team losing the SB game has returned to the playoffs, and that was a 9-7 Seattle team that made the playoffs because of an extremely weak division, otherwise it would have been 8 out of 8 failing to return. Only one team, OAK, followed up their SB loss with 2 dismal seasons back to back. Not a surprise seeing the moves OAK has made over the past few years. I feel the Bears are much better than many believe. With a return …

This guy is very athletic and especially so when you consider he's 6'3". He's also very raw and has one year of experience at CB. He's clearly a practice squad candidate this year. He's going against inferior competition in his highlight tape but his burst to close stands out on several plays, so does his aggression. You all know I love defense and I like football players who have an aggressive edge in their game. Denmark is knocking players to ground all over the field including those who are trying to block him. If he has the work ethic at a minimum I can see him becoming a special teams coverage ace and replacing McManis next year. Maybe that happens this year…

Courtesy of NFL Network here is a break down on WR Stephen Hill Stephen Hill - pro day video A little raw but seems to snatch the ball with his hands well to go along with nice size / speed attributes. I think Cutty would not mind breaking Hill in as a rookie ala Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal.

According to PFT there is a possiblity that SH could be a cap hit. Old , but could he be Ruben Brown?

Bears sign blocking TE Steve Maneri to a 2 year deal. Fun fact: he's Blake Costanzo's cousin.

Will probably be available soon. Was thinking this earlier this week and heard someone mention it on NFL AM; what if Chicago were to look at him as a slot receiver?

I'm surprised to know that Steve Smith is a UFA. Did anyone here know this? Granted, he suffered a bad leg injury in December, but s***, he can play.

One guy whose opinion I trust on WRs is Steve Smith. If he says 4 or 5 teams are going to take Aiyuk in the first round I believe it will happen. Even if not it would seem he'll be gone before we pick at 43. I wanted one of Reagor or Aiyuk in that spot. We'll see how it shakes it. If there is a run on WRs though it still benefits us because it's more likely someone like Delpit falls to us. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/0ap3000001108491/Steve-Smith-Sr-One-2020-draft-WR-who-s-being-slept-on
