Higher than I expected to be honest. Considering Goff is lower, and only Daniels is higher as a 2nd year QB. So Maye, McCarthy, Penix are all lower.

Would you rather have Velus Jones (WR), Claypool (WR), Wright (RT), and Dexter (DT) or Jalen Carter (DT), Rashee Rice (WR), Sam LaPorta (TE), and Abraham Lucas (RT)

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=6582 Smith lauds depth, young talent at wide receiver position By: Larry Mayer | Last Updated: 2/26/2010 6:18 PM INDIANAPOLIS – Coach Lovie Smith is excited about the continued development of the Bears’ young wide receivers and believes that they’ll thrive in new coordinator Mike Martz’s system. While some considered the position a weak link prior to the 2009 season, Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox, Devin Aromashodu and Rashied Davis combined to catch 185 passes for 2,334 yards. It was the highest output by Bears receivers since they had 192 receptions in 2002 and 2,363 yards in 2001. …

This is probably a big DUH! for some but I still found this article refreshing. When's the last time players were drawn to Chicago by our QUARTERBACK! Maybe a few players signed on to come play with Cutler, initially, but at the end of the day, that faded. And that was probably exclusively on the O side of the ball. This kid's dynamic play is apparently making Pole's job easier. Which is awesome! I don't think it's just his play on the field either, it's his quiet confidence and demeanor. I think we may have a lot to look forward to in the years to come! https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/justin-fields-attracting-free-agents-shows-qb-can-accelerate-…

i posted the information in these draft pick comparisons over 15 years ago but they still can help in determining the quality of the NFL draft and where you pick. It is a very intensive time consuming effort I published on this board and on the previous Bears board. The data was compilied up until 2007. So take it for what it's worth (or disregard it if you please).......... ================================================================================ 2012 below are some statistics i compiled for the old board about 8 years ago and i have updated the information to date, 2012. it lists all players drafted in slots 1-20 in the first round and how they compar…

What does Ryan Poles need to do so the Bears start getting some compensatory picks in 2025 and to regularly receive them in the future. It seems like teams like the 49ers know how to manage the system. What are we doing wrong?

https://www.chicagobears.com/team/depth-chart At this point there aren't many surprises unless we're still surprised our 5th Rd rookie is listed as a starter at LT. WR: ESB is a starter opposite Mooney. Not a shocker given he knew the offense coming in and to date it appears he's also earned it. Velus and Pringle are listed as #3 and 4. RB: Ebner is listed as 3rd ahead of Darrynton Evans and he seems to make big plays every practice. I'm looking forward to seeing him play. DE: Trevis Gipson is still holding onto a starting job but with AQM making some noise lately we'll see if that holds. The fact Gipson is ahead of a guy who knows the sch…

I think this discussion on Sanborn merits a new thread as we observe him over the next few games. His stats were rather eye opening against Detroit. 12 tackles, 9 solo. 2 sacks, and we all know he had a legit INT the NFL called back. When we signed him as a UDFA I was certainly happy to have him on board. Anyone here would have been very happy to see that stat line from Roquan. We did see that against Houston and NE but there were some bad games in between. To be fair for Sanborn this is also just one game but it did get me thinking if I had missed something about him. Swift put up a video about Sanborn and showed his RAS. Nobody gets too excited …

Like havin' the coach's kid as a quarterback.... Sick of this regime's garbage

Based on the preseason predictions, these were the most under and over achieving teams this year with 1 week left: 1. DEN 11-6 > 4-12 (-7) 2. LAR 11-6 > 5-11 (-6) 3. IND 9-8 > 4-11-1 (-4.5) 4. TB 12-5 > 8-8 (-4) 5. ARZ 8-9 > 4-12 (-4) 1. PHI 9-8 > 13-3 (+4) 2. NYG 6-11 > 9-6-1 (+3.5) 3T. JAX 5-12 > 8-8 (+3) 3T. MIN 9-8 > 12-4 (+3) 3T. ATL 3-14 > 6-10 (+3) 3T. SEA 5-12 > 8-8 (+3) DEN and LAR are by far the farthest off their projections. IND was a lot worse than expected. PHI and NYG both surprised. Of the positive teams, only PHI and JAX had a decent point differential. NYG was +0, MIN -19, ATL -34, and SEA…

Using the most likely draft selections from 1-9, what positional group rank do you think the Bears would most likely pick given the available options?

Caleb comes in at #19, between Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. This feels like a pretty fair spot to start at, though, I think he will be closer to to 10 than top 20. I think he will be better than Murray, Smith, and Lawrence at least. Lawrence at #12 seems too high for me. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-quarterback-rankings-all-32-starters-2024-nfl-season

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AvH2...ap-bears-cutler Bears’ Cutler to sit out Carolina game By ANDREW SELIGMAN, AP Sports Writer 23 minutes ago LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP)—Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler(notes) will sit out this week’s game at Carolina because of a concussion. Bears spokesman Scott Hagel says Cutler was examined by both team and independent doctors on Wednesday after practicing on a limited basis. Hagel says the doctors “all agreed that participation in practice” went well but felt that sitting out “was the right way to go.” He says Cutler will practice on Thursday and Friday, and his status will be re-evaluated early next…

Starting today any players released are available to sign. As Adam mentioned, we are first on the waiver wire. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/lists/chicago-bears-offseason-dates-2023/

I just woke up, is this true? Wow that screws the OL strength Luke Newman was taking some snaps at OC, does he take over now?

Looks to be out for awhile or possibly the entire season. Crazy think players can get hurt outside of work and basically get workers comp. Good reason for a fire sale I guess. Clean house at deadline and reset for next year. Use this year for offensive development and to evaluate players.
