ASHKUM BEAR

I like those picks. Did a fanspeak for fun and took. 1. Jabrill Peppers S 2. Lowell Totutelei DT (move Goldman out to DE) 3. Chad Kelly QB (he lasted until rd3 here) 4a.Jourdan Lewis CB (lacks size but explosive/returner) 4b. John Heck RT 5. Ryan Switzer WR (also returner capable). Sign TE Vance McDonald or Jacob Tamme

I think you are correct. He is the highest paid defensive player in history now.

The media is having a circus with this since the Bears said he was week to week. Just like Kevin White last year. As I said last year, ; I like an organization to keep potential moves close to the chest to give them the most leverage.

Fox and Pace have two strikes in my book by screwing the team at the start two seasons in a row by rearranging the oline at the before game 1. Get it right year three or else it is time for something different imo. The defense is another story and unfortunately, I can see next years draft thrown at drafting QB, OT, TE, and maybe a WR to replace AJ with early picks. They really need a draft all top D players. Look at time of possession, the D is putting the offense in a position to play catch up and the Offense screws up by penalties and not running correct plays which will hopefully get better as they gel. Starting over with a new staff would be another 2#3 year set back. Wish they could've put Gase in charge (I think Fangio was a Gase guy if I remember right).

Almost lost for words. Bears cannot get a call, bounce, or anything to go there way.

Interested to see Nick Kwitowski perform with his first start.

Bears play in the primetime slot again. Can they sneak a W with the amount of injuries they are dealing with?

Must be true since Bobby Wade was the one that said he (Urlacher) said it. McPhee still looked bad doing that, and when Jay did that to Jamarcus Webb, he took the critcism. He should have been screaming at Massie and TE Logan for getting him killed, but he usually takes the high road. I think everyone is good moving on from Jay, but most people know it is not feasible until the season is over. Reading about this crap for 8 years or whatever has been sickening and hopefully the Bears get lucky and can draft one. I have my doubts though because this is the Bears and they dont know qbs.

Urlacher made a comment today saying McPhee should not have said anything. He is not a coach, not even dressed, and if he felt like saying something, do it in the locker room not on national tv.

One thing going that route is having the right personnel to develop and not give up on them. GMs/HCs have troube drafting those players unless they have established success to take those risks. Today I am all for drafting QB #1 since we can even establish a window of success, we turn it around before the seasons end, my thought may change.

Kizer, Watson, Kelly, Kaaya, and even Rudolph are names to watch. I wouldn't cut Cutler loose either until we had a trade with value. I have no problems going with any of these names right now as long as we get a legit franchise QB and build around him.

Replacing Massie is huge need, but worthy of a high #1 wouldn't be a good pick, so Leno gets picked on. #1 Cam Robinson LT Alabama #2 Mason Rudolph QB OK State #3 Tyrell Crosby RT Oregon #4 Evan Engram/Jordan Leggett TE #4-7 Best D regardless of position. Depending if Jeffery re-signs, WR may be a high need also. Defense takes the back seat again, unfortunately. I like going after Von Miller though. I think another DT could be had also.

I've seen some comparisons from draftniks that compare Kelly to Cutler. Wonder how that would go here.

I thought Massie and Long would be a force leading the run game and they still cannot get enough push. Must be the injury Long is dealing with. Then add our WRs of Jeffery, White, and Royal who you would think would be good enough to help pull the S out of the box. Makes you wonder what the cause is. Loggains, Cutler, the line not gelled yet?

It is not good to be a Bears fan once again. Hopefully this agony has a positive out come for our future.

I wish the Bears were able to keep Gase because if he was still here, Fox may be on a hotter seat.

It is real early, but I feel this is a terrible year to have the top draft slot. I haven't got a feel on any of the QBs yet and Watson continues to be the big name...yet I hesitate. Offensive lineman, same feeling. The top pick I think will produce is Jabril Peppers DB Michigan. Bears n Cutler need to rebound quick otherwise it may be hell for many more years. Any thoughts of owning the first pick?

I agree, time to move on next year. This team is too far from greatness, just wish there was a worthy college qb to crap the season for.

Bright spots, Eddie Royal, Alshon Jeffery, and Jordan Howard. Hoyer is McGown part 2, quick progressions and moves the ball. Cutler is hanging on a thread for my loyalty, always get the benefit but his guaranteed money is up so he needs to step up huge.

Goldman carted off the field. Cursed? I think so

Carson Wentz is exposing Jay Cutler big time. Rookie with a game and a half is schooling a vet. If things do not change soon, we might be holding the first picknof the draft.

Howard with some nice runs. Like his style, comes out with full steam. Langford/Forte seemed to hesitate looking for a hole. Carey runs with the same style.

Still not able to get pressure from the front 7. Big problem since they supposedly addressed that need. Wentz looks like an all pro in his second nfl game.

The Browns royally screwed up not taking Wentz. He looks like the next best thing so far. We will see if Fox/Pace make a change if Massie continues to get Cutler killed.

Massie looking like a terrible signing, Freeman a great signing. Robbie Gould may be missed more than we know. Any other thoughts?
