The numbers crunching show some interesting results. However, we all know that stats can be misleading at times. I'm going of going with the smell test. I watch all theBbears games, and have seen a number of games Holmes has been in. Especially playoff games. And the Super Bowl. In big games, and in big situations, Holmes seems to come up big. I honestly don't feel that way about any of our wideouts. Maybe I'm just being "the grass is always greener over there" guy... But, Hester and Knox do not strike my as reliable targets. Bennett is closer to that... But doesn't seem to have "it". I would roll the dice on Holmes if possible. I'm far more sold on him. He's won big games. Sidney Rice just looked great for one year when favre was playing out of his head. I'd probably roll the dice on him too... But, I would much rather have Holmes. Adn, the due is 27. He's in the prime of his football career. easily 2 great years, potentially a bit more. I'd roll the dice on Holmes, pure & simple as long as the cost was not ridiculous.

If I could, I'd buy both you guys a beer! Good arguments, and disagreements. And it all ends well! Kudos for keeping is classy Chicago! (due respect to Ron B...) This is why I love this board! PS - I think we still need s #1 WR...but I do agree that better protection will give better results. I just want to go from a C to an A with a #1, vs going to what I think would be a B with what we have now.

Just to the Chris Harris comment. If that's all he said, then there is zero wrong with that. Mendenhall went well beyond saying just that. And he got the grief accordingly.

Keep in mind, this is the same brain trust that didn't let Hanie compete with Collins... And annointed Collins.

Moving the thread makes sense to me... It's not Bears related.

Hey, anything that get V-Jack here would be great!

I am glad that he has the right to spew such idoicy. Just as I'm glad we all have the right to comment about it.

If he would have stopped there, he would probably be praised. But, he kept going...and foot went into mouth.

Agreed. He may be a dolt, but he's not going anywhere.

Seriously. I did want him. Now I'm glad Paea has a shot to KO his ass...

Sadly, the reason they had to do that is becasue they didn't address those needs in prior drafts, lost the picks due to trrades...or completley whiffed on the picks. Don't get me wrong...I'm not making any guarantees. But, on paper, this looks about as good as you could ask for. Believe you me, I'm a glass half empty guy. But, right now, my glass is totally empty. But, that's because I just pounded my ice cold large "filled to the brim" beer!

The beauty of this...is that EVERYONE is in agreement that 1 and 2 were great picks! And in all honesty, the late picks won't amount to much regardless who we would have picked. That alone, makes me think, on paper, this was an A draft for us. When you can hit the mark on your top 2 picks...that's damn good! Time will tell, but right now, it looks wonderful!

I love that!!!

He seems to have a lot of heart and raw ability. If there ever was a student to learn...he may be it.

I hear ya!

Haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! I love it! Screw you Baltiless! So, we just lost our 4th then... Well, I'd like another OL at 3. But, at least these 2 are solid and fill needs. Both look like they have the potnential to contribute ASAP. So far, so good.

I do too. I'd like to know what we gave up though...do you know?

Feel free to bench press as many OL as you want and get to the QB!

Agreed

?

next...

Oops...should have read your post first!

Isn't it supposed to be Dent?

Low...but funny.

Bucs just nabbed him....
