Well, I would guess that "IF" Turner were replaced (and I would guess it is 50/50 chance at this point) Lovie would make the choice BUT I am sure Angelo would take a more active role in the selection, vetoing any selection he did not agree with.

I feel it is just a matter of gaining familiarity with the new forums.
I loved the open format of the old board we just had sabataged by Sportsinfinity.
However, the more I use this forum, the more I play around with the options available and learn how to manipulate it to serve my personal preferences, the more I like it.
It may take time for some of us to adjust, especially us "more mature" types (sounds better than old farts, lol) but I do believe it will work out great if given time for everyone to "learn" the programs features.
Just MHO

Is Turner that bad or is his failure also a by product of the poor OL play?
Personally, I think it is somewhat the OLs poor play, but am less than impressed with his play calling.
I posed this question in another thread but decided to start a new one hoping for some feedback.
QUESTION - If we were to fire Turner (maybe some college wants a new HC, LOL) then who would you want to come in as a new OC? There is going to be some good candidates cut loose when some HCget fired and their staffs are released. ANY IDEAS?
-
Frankly, until we get our OL in order, I can not believe any quality QB would agree to come here to play, it would be a career suicide move!!
-
I agree, as I said in the Flacco thread, it does not matter what QB, RB, or WRs we have on the "O" if we do not have a good OL to protect the QB, give the receivers time to get open, and to open a few holes for the RB. I do not think CB is as bad as many think, he was met in the backfield more often than not before having a chance to get to the line of scrimmage. Our QB had been sanked/hit/hurried so much it is a miracle all are not on the IR. If the QB never has a chance to get his feet set before getting killed it kind of makes it a bit difficult to evaluate him. If he can not get time to throw then it obviously effects the numbers for the WRs as well.
Then the BIG QUESTION in my mind....
DOES ANGELO & SMITH FIRE TURNER? IF SO, WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE AS OUR NEW OC?
I am sure there will be some HCs fired soon and there will be a few good OC prospects out there. Anyone got some ideas as to who might be available if the powers to be with the Bears chose to make a change?
-
I grew up in Delaware, took some classes at U of Delaware. Would love to see Flacco drafted by the Bears but only if we can take care of some other needs first, either in FA or the draft. Our OL is our first and greatest need. Unless we can get a strong OL it does not matter what skill players we have standing behind them.

Jason - DBDB.......
Anything you need me to do just let me know.
I have all the graphics from the old site on my pc including the flash gallery. I have many of the items from the old front page. I am a pack rat when it comes to the internet & my PC.
I am willing to do whatever I can to help you out here at TalkBears.
You have done a fantastic job in the lightning fast creation of the new forum and notification of the "family". THANKS!!

I'm here..still the same..not very original..I miss my old avatar..
What did you have as your old avatar? Was it the #42 Jersey with your username? Or was it a different one you are referring to? I have most of the graphics I created on Bearstalk on my PC and if it is one I have I can email it to you to use here.
That offer is for all of the gang from Bearstalk!! Just let me know what you are looking for.

I think I am, as many of us are, anxious to see if the Bears do some experimenting with the lineup, get some players on the field that have been under used to evaluate them for next year, and then to see what the Bears management & coaching staff does to try and get this team back to the dominate team we were just 1 year ago (through Free Agency and the Draft).
Many teams have had a down year after a SB loss, the good ones return to wreck havoc the following year. I am hoping we kick some major ass in 2008!!

BEAR DOWN !!! -
Congratulations PaPa Iguana!! Fantastic!! WOW, our family is really GROWING!!
-
I am all for getting all of our players who have yet to have a chance to prove themselves a chance to see what they can contribute. We have many players used very sparingly or not at all that we need to evaluate, not just Orton, but Beekman, Haas, Wolfe, Bradley, etc....
Let's face it, we need to shuffle the deck before next season, might as well see what cards we have that we want to hold onto before we start shopping around and getting ready for the draft.

Fantastic News, Congratulations!! That is the 2nd new Bear Fan for the forum this month!! Bowlingtwig also (with help of his wife, lol) brought in a new boy this month!! Congrats to both of you!!
-
Could be a good signing. You never know. Rusty can wo9rk with this guy and Lovie & Babich are both familiar with him so maybe he can return to his original status coming out of college as an elite DT. Sure like the fact that the Bears are looking for options already to improve for next season!

Great Job DBDB, Your generosity and hard work to resolve the problem at hand is greatly appreciated by all of us. We owe you a big thank you for allowing our family of posters to migrate over here to such a nice new home!!
Question about this site
in Bearstalk
Posted
I speak only for myself, I am only one of hundreds that are a member of this site. I. like you have indicated, will go with whatever the majority decides. I am certainly happy here as is.
I did go to the link you provided and although I had little time to explore the site it linked to. My first impression was that there was quite a simularity between the "appearance" of that site and this one.
