I would definitely shut him down. His life is more valuable that football. He clearly needs to deal with his issues. Peace

Just an observation that Club Dub wasn't a big deal to anyone when they were in the middle of a winning season. I really don't care what they do after games. The play on the field matters and this past Sunday reminded me of Dr. Death's last year. They need to fix this. Peace

I get it. I'm just pointing out you are not getting the value you need from him. IR might be the best option as he is not a contributing member of the team at this time. Peace

Hall was traded to the Eagles last year. Houston-Carson was a leading special teamer last year. Miller and Wims are in year 2. I think both have potential to be great. Peace

No to Kaepernick. He's been out of the game too long. Play Trubisky the rest of the season. If there is no improvement (above last year's play) then move on. Some FAs you can look at next year are - Mariota, Keenum and possibly Bridgewater. Peace

Burton has a cap hit of 8.5 million for this year and the next two. I would cut him at the end of the year and move on. He's not worth remotely close to that amount. You still have Shaheen for this year and next on his rookie contract. Get him in the offense and get him the ball. You need to give him every opportunity to succeed. Peace

My thoughts on the current status of the Bears - I don't see them making the playoffs. I think they'll be lucky to get 8 wins. If I were GM, I would do the following: 1 - Cut Trey Burton. He has done absolutely nothing since he showed himself to be a head case last year in the playoffs. You are paying him $8 a year and he's not worth it. Bring up Jesper Horstead from the practice squad. 2 - Get Shaheen on the field and in the offense. You have to see if he has any value for next year. 3 - Cut or trade Mike Davis. He has hardly played and is not worth the $2.5 million you are paying him. Bring up Nall from the practice squad. I believe we get a pick from losing Adrian Amos in free agency if Davis is not on the roster in week 10. 4 - Stick with Trubisky. Give him every opportunity to sink or swim this year. If he shows no improvement, then move on. 5 - If Trubisky fails, go get Bridgewater or Keenum to be a caretaker QB for next year. 6 - Do not use Tarik Cohen as the power back. He should not be running into the middle of the line. He needs space to succeed. 7 - David Montgomery must have 15-20 runs per game for the rest of the year. Notice that none of my suggestions are on the defensive side of the ball. The defense was on the field for 15 additional minutes today because the offense failed to get a 1st down for 1.5 quarters. Fix the offense.

The defense has underperformed the last 2 games. Three games ago, the defense dominate the Vikings 16-6. Peace

Running back is fine. Our O-line and tight ends have played like crap. They have to step up. Peace

The officiating in the NFL is the worst of any professional sports league and it isn't even close. Last night was a joke. Peace

Hicks is a beast. Let's hope the rest of the defense can step up. Peace

Long was a fantastic talent but his body has betrayed him. It's best to move on now. Thanks, Kyle, for all you gave the Bears. Peace

I agree with you in general but just wanted to point out the Bears went over to London on the same time line 8 years ago. Peace

Horstead is still working on his run blocking according to his position coach. He doesn't sound ready. I could see him, however, replacing Burton next year. Burton is not worth the $8+ he will be paid each of the next two years. I would activate Bars this week. They need to shake up the offensive line. Peace

Kyle Long was a terrific athlete and wonderful team leader but injuries have taken their toll. It's time to move on. Next man up. Peace

The defense has played outstanding until yesterday. The Raiders pounded them. Hopefully it's a wake up call going forward. Peace

I really hope everything is OK with him. I am fearing he could walk away from the game. The Bears are doing the right thing by giving him space and protecting him. Peace

Because he doesn't fit the system. I like Howard and want him to succeed but I think Montgomery is going to be a much better player for us. Peace

We should be drafting a QB every few drafts anyway. The Packers, when they had Favre, drafted Brunnell, Brooks, Hasselback, Peterson and Rodgers. Peace

He has this year to prove himself. If not, we'll need to move on. Peace

David Montgomery had 5 carries and Mike Davis had 6. They need to run the damn ball. If they don't at least have 25 to 30 carries between the 2 each week they are done. Peace

Per Adam Shefner Bears are signing guard Cody Whitehair to a 5-year, $52.5 million extension that includes $27.5 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal, negotiated by Jeff Nalley and Graylan Crain, gives Whitehair the second-largest guarantee for a guard extension in NFL history.

Wow! And they traded a 4th round pick for him. Wow! Peace

This is from Hub Arkush's article on Friday in the Daily Herald: Horsted was a wide receiver in college and set the school career records for catches (196) and touchdowns (28) while also starring for the Princeton baseball team and compiling an impressive academic resume. At 6-3, 237, Horsted is a Trey Burton clone, which, while a good thing, is not really the position the Bears are trying to fill as they need another solid Y tight end more than another U.

Sometimes picks don't work out. Good luck to Mr. Bullard. Peace
