I agree. Some people just want to sign a FA so bad they want anybody. I'd rather draft Mendenhall than sign over the hill guys.

That would be a great plan if Olivea wasn't garbage.

If getting your team to the Super Bowl after twenty years of being the joke of the league is clueless, count me in every time. JA has had success in TB and here, the only problem in Chicago is that 85% of the fans will never be satisfied with anything.

Nope, which is why I'm glad we dont jump on these early free agents.

Here's hoping we use Clark and Olsen for that big possession guy.

Nah, he is overrated the same way Colvin and Holdman were. He misses too many tackles for my taste, an above average LB to be sure, but not a franchise player.

Amen LT, I hope JA spends the money wisely, instead some of the foolish deals for mediocre talent. Keep building from within.

Oakland is where recievers go to die. If he goes there he is stupid.

I liked when he joked us into the Super Bowl.

lol I was driving home today and heard a quote from Moose on Arizona Sports Radio. He claimed he wasn't utilized properly and that the quarterbacks had a problem getting the ball to playmakers like him. No mention of the drops, though. I dont know what was funnier, the fact that he threw the team under the bus on his way out or that he referred to himself as a playmaker.

I'll go ahead and agree. I sure as hell do not want to invest big dollars and years in a mediocre talent. Lets take a look at a Booker, Bruce, Patten type of vet and live with Hester, Bradley, Clark and Olsen as the pass receiving threats as well as Wolfe on the screens.

If we do not go the best OT with our first round pick, we are the dumbest franchise in the history of the world. I laugh when you guys say QB/RB/WR with the first rounder. WE NEED TO DRAFT LINEMEN!!!!!!!!! If we dont, then I dont care what QB and/or RB we have, we will not be good offensively.

Great so we can see everyone turn on Mendenhall when he gets hit half the time in the backfield and they will say he is a bust and Brennan will be the next Grossman who is scared to take a snapped without getting the crap kicked out of him.

Absolutely, If you think about it, WITHOUT ANY OTHER CHANGES, if we had upgraded the two guard positions and the RT position the Bears would have been in the playoffs this year. I truly believe that Even if we get Faneca, we need at least two linemen in the top three rounds of the draft, period.

Anything can improve the worst line in the league.

Yeah, by all means, lets draft some more "playmakers" who will be a waste behind the worst line in the league. We have talent. We just can't give them time to do anything. DRAFT O-LINEMEN

Really??? In YOUR opinion, not in mine. In my mind Sayers was better than all of them, but again that's debatable. No reason to say I lose credibility. Its all a matter of preference, no right or wrong answer.

I think the thing balta is saying is its not really worth talking about what type of back we need if the oline isn't fixed, cause it wont matter. I think its obvious that we need a speed threat to go with Benson's straight ahead style.

Why? I wasn't talking about the Jim Brown type of back. I was talking about the Barry Sanders type of back. You lose credibility for posting random crap.

lol Never claimed he would be an elite back.....but he is not as bad as the doom and gloom you tried to portray. You said he hadn't "shown anything", which is false. Let it go, dont get all mad when you get called out on it.

13.7 ypc is more than one play buddy, thanks for playing though i'm glad you think your random, false generalizations is much better to prove a point

Guess you didn't see the realityof him turning that dump off pass into a conversion on a 3rd and 20+. And to the argument that he can't "run inbetween the tackles" none of our rb's did that this year because the line sucked. Gotta create holes to run inbetween the tackles....for any back not named Sanders, Payton, or Sayers.

Exactly, Kramer to Conway was legit. Too bad their best defensive player was crappy Dante Jones. I have never heard anyone say good things about Crowton's time here and thought to myself when the announcers were singing his praises that I wished he would have done that here. I find it interesting that people wish for him in hindsight. He is just one of those guys who is good in college and can't hack it in the pros.

lol Its funny how now Crowton is this guru, yet everybody on these boards have been ripping him for years.

Griese was garbage and was of a waste our time to have out there. He didn't help us win, Grossman has better talent and at least with Orton out there we were trying him out for the future. Griese was the third best QB on the squad
