I would like someone to pay me $360k a yr and treat me like that. I would not say that I was being treated poorly. We'll agree to disagree. Peace

And I have agreed with you. I do not agree, however, with the following which was your first sentence in this post: "I can't help my disgust for how this team has treated Mike Hass." You make it sound like they have treated him poorly which is not true. Peace

Let's put Welker and Haas on the field in pads and see who wins that race. My money is on Welker. I don't get caught up in 40 times at the combine. Peace

I agree and this is why I would never compare Haas to Welker. Instead, I would compare Haas from a potential standpoint to Bobby Engram. Engram has minimal speed (I remember the game where the GB linebacker caught him from behind in the open field) but is a great route runner. He has over 550 career receptions and just had one of his best yrs. We don't need Haas to be a speedburner. We need him to come in and make the big 3rd down catch to move the chains. Peace

I read this article last summer. I already said I was disappointed he didn't see the field this yr. However, I don't feel the Bears treated him poorly. They obviously feel he has some value as they kept him on the roster the entire yr. Again, I believe we need to have patience. His not playing is not the reason this season went into the shitter. Peace

Well, he was drafted in the 6th round, New Orleans cut him and he was on Bears practice squad all yr last yr and no team stole him. This tells you how he is perceived by other scouts in the league. That being said, I wanted to see the kid play this yr and was disappointed he did not get on the field. I am hoping he stays on the team and has an impact next yr. Peace

Indy's new stadium will not be ready until 2009. Peace

Good catch. Forgot all about that movie. Surprising, since it is one of my wife's favorites. Peace

He would be a project to develop. Look to get him at the end of the 2nd or somewhere in the 3rd. Peace

"Bottom line this organization started improving when Ted Phillips came in and brought in good football people and let everyone do there jobs and I don't want to see the Bears go around that. If Angelo doesn't trust Lovie to hire/bring in the correct coaches than he shouldn't be our head coach." Exactly - great point. Peace

I think we all need to realize this was a press conference less than 1 week after the season. FA doesn't begin until the end of Feb. Give them some time to work this out. We are only 1 yr from being in the SuperBowl. Peace

I didn't realize Falco was available in the draft. I thought he died in the 90's!!!!! Peace

I'm sold. Make it so. Peace

Good to see you posting. Hope everything is good with the baby!!!! Peace

I think he stays in Philly. Feeley is not a starter and Kolb didn't get any playing time at all. If they were looking at moving McNabb, they would have given Kolb some time at the end of the yr. Peace

I remember both of those from his comments. It was fairly clear, however, that he realizes he cannot depend on Brown and needs to have an adequate answer available. Peace

He also said he felt we had the WRs to be successful and the issue on offense was the running game (we have to be a running team - scheme and play need to improve). Peace

Sounds like Lovie has control of his coaching staff ('Lovie has to be comfortable with his coaching staff - it's his call'). Competition at QB and RB. Would like to see Rex back. Will not rule out using the tag on Berrian. Peace

Even more specific on Brown - he said "How can I depend on Mike Brown?" Obviously, he can't and will look to upgrade. Peace

If they believe Orton is the man for next yr, they should let Rex go. With the money tied into Griese it is best to keep him around as the backup. Draft a QB in rounds 3 or 4 (Flacco please) to develop for the future. I liked what Kyle showed us the past 3 games. He does not have the ceiling Rex has but he is much more consistent. If they decide to go with Orton next yr I will not be upset as long as they address the other issues (OL, WR, RB, S). Peace

"He was, is, and forever will be, the worst OC the Bears ever hire. Period. This is not up for debate." Glad you made that pronouncement...lol. Peace

I would be willing to give up a day 2 pick for him (no higher than 4th). Mulligan on the SCORE says they really like Flacco from Delaware. I watched him play against Southern and he looked pretty good. Peace

Great post. I would not mind bringing him in with a late day 2 pick (5th round or later). Peace

You've got to believe that they will dump Moose anyway if they sign Berrian to a long term deal. Further, no reason to keep Arch around since he will not start. I would think we would look at trading Griese since we can most likely get trade value for him. Peace

Thanks for your help. Will wait for the rest of the cap breakdown. Peace
