Well put Lucky. Those poor owners, yeah, right. The players get well compensated, but the owners don't lose a dime in paying them. And it was probably all paid by insurance.

The NFL has tons of QBs that have been at the peak. Brady the best? Hey, that's not gonna be the first question I put to Gabriel (or, more likely, the other guy). For me it's Montana and then Young. I grew up with Unitas, Tarkinton and YATitle. Roger Stauback, Dan Marino, they were all tops. AND I DON"T LIKE the prima donna Brady, so screw him.

I don't like it, but if we can get him for a 2nd rnd pick, sure. I do not want us to give up the 3rd pick for him, we have too many needs for that.

Agreed. And I hate to say it, but Bill B will get into the Hall BECAUSE he can do exactly what you said. His players move elsewhere and they are *%#*#.

Jason, yes, I'm undecided, but I just don't see a great QB available with the no. 3. Let's grab a great DE, S or CB then get a QB in RD 2 or more. With the 3rd pick and this crop, I just don't feel good about QB.

NO ROMO! Mr. injury to replace the injuries we have? PLEASE think about it and for Halas' sake say NO!!!!!!!!!

The future thanks to Pace. Let's do this again this year.

Unfortunately, for the last 30 years many of us have been on suicide watch. God, I gotta tust that Pace is the second coming and that we are on the way to sinking the Puckers and everyone else.

Agreed Mad! Love his attitude and grit on the field.

Put me down for the-no-qb-at-3 group. Watson is going to go earlier, and I will be happy. And after watching the championship game, I don't want Allen either. I did not see him make any plays on the big stage. Right now I'm leaning to S or CB at no 3.

Agreed. Right now I'd bring back Hoyer, Barkley and Shaw and draft someone in the 2nd or 3rd round. Let them fight it out in cam and take three on the roster into the season. Hell, we can't be any worse at QB with those guys, we pretty much know what we got with Hoyer and he can mentor the others. I DO NOT want to see Pace mortgage our future in a trade with the Pats for Jimmy G. Cutler is the example here that shows that doesn't pay off. We have to develop a QB on our own to be a successful team again.

Alaska and everyone here: this IS going to be a better year all around, just got a feelin.

Howard got his yards. Great pick by Pace. Barkley, meh. Keep him as a backup and work with him in the offseason. Who knows, he could be a good no 2. Agree with Jason, fire ALL the ass coaches that have led to the injuries and poor preparedness on this team. If it doesn't improve next year get rid of Fox. We have the no. 3 pick, don't reach for a worthless QB. That's what Cleveland has been doing for years. Happy New year to all of the guys here. This has got to be a better year for Da Franchise! Now, on to next season!

Every Bears fan knows it. And at some point, he's gonna come back and bite us in the arse.

Wow, even dumb ole me knows that would be a mega-bad trade. Hold firm and draft BPA and get a QB 2nd if necessary.

I hope that's the thinking of these guys. Perfection in the workplace is all we are asking.

I went CB and FS. Friggin tired of getting burned by Puckin Rodgers on long passes when its 4th and a million yards.

S0, Pix next year, lets dump Barkley, who, from what I've seen, can put the ball in the right spot more than not? No. Give this lid a shot next year. Crap he's pretty much a rookie. I want to keep hi m in the mix, he's earned it IMdO.

No question now. Barkley can throw so he can be a no 2, at worst. And he's got moxey. Newport beach kid slingin it in the fridged Soldier Field. Give him a contract and get more competition.

Oh yes. But unfortunately we don't have any WR that can catch nor anyone that wants to tackle. What I've seen so far is the Bears have mailed it in and are just walking through the motions. Fire Fox now cause he couldn't motivate a hungry dog to eat a steak. Just pathetic, and I'm embarrassed again as Bear lifer.

Hey, every one of our Wrs are worthless. They have one thing to do, they get paid to do it and they drop ball after ball. Keep Barkley, get rid of all our WRs.

Yep. I DO want a QB, but there is not a clear keeper out there this year. Get BPA, hopefully OT as 1st, then secondary and a QB 3rd or 4th. I'm thinking Barkley and Hoyer--if we keep him cheap-- will suffice, give the rock to Howard behind a solid OL and we can do it. But we do need help in the secondary. How long since we've had a stud there?

Agreed.

Barkley is NOT our franchise QB. He is a great backup, but he is not much better than Bobby Douglas or Bob Avelleni, etc., for those of us who (can, at my age!) remember. We have got to get on the draft a QB train, or we are screwed for the rest of my lifetime.

Agree totally. I lived through the teams of the late 60' and into the 70's. It's a bitch, and then there were the mid 80's. I live with the hope that every year we can do better but I'm getting old.
