If we get it I will be there(I dont have a life and I do stupid stuff)

 

Who's going?

Remember all the noise when Cutler was signed and how the Bears were crazy to give him that kind of money? Well, looks like the deal will fall in line or look great as other QBs contracts renew.

 

Kaepernick signs 6 year 126 million, Cutler 7 year 126.7.

 

Kaepernick guaranted 60 of it; Cutler 54 million.

 

Just wait to see what Cincy does with Dalton and then Seattle with Wilson. Our front office is right there with understanding contracts, glad we are out of the tunnel and finally looking up as a team again.

QBs get big contracts, look at all the ones in the top 15 and Cutler fits there.

He's got 'Rick Mirer' written all over him....

 

Maybe he'll be a good 'camp QB'. Apparently our defense is familiar with him already.

 

throw more darts at the board and one of them is going to stick

I never left.. ha!

dammm..it, just kidding I need a little negativity once in awhile to balance my total optimism .

What is a stupid idea? An older player coming back from injury a year removed from playing and making a comeback? Peyton Manning says hello.

 

I really depends on what type of shape he is in, and if he is capable of being at least serviceable, though very unlikely at this point. We will have to wait for some YouTube workout videos to see.

 

Maybe they would like a fresh SMC if he ends up behind Williams, Bostic, Briggs, and Greene on the depth chart.

As soon as Urlacher figured out nobody was going to give him alot of money, he wasnt playing anymore. The only way this story got started was some writer suggested it and it got legs. Bad idea and will never happen. sometimes over is just over. Thanks Brian, but goodbye.

I remember that Connor, and I am glad that you are back! Your thoughts are much worthwhile here...

I would never leave because I argued with someone. I would only post more so I could irritate them. They is always new faces to jump in on opinions, if people leave its there lost. There are plenty of characters on here to chew the bone with.

Current: Brandon Marshall. While Tillman is a close second...everything that Marshall has brought since coming here simply has me feeling good.

 

All Time: Can't help it. Butkus.

I agree, Marshall is becoming the face of this franchise with all the pub he gets cause he has issues and have overcome them.

lol, I mentioned this in another thread right after Lee went down.

 

I highly doubt it, as there are some things in his favor (health), there are others working against him (age, rust).

Thats a pretty stupid idea. His body didnt grow new ligaments because he hasnt played for a year. I have had both of my knees replaced that they dont get better once damaged, its never going to happen, he is probably smarter than that to even try.

How about we move on and give this site some better Bears input? Realize that what you write is etched in stone, so give the WWW your best. Debate all you want and keep it friendly. Personal attacks and vulgar languange were not allowed on here before. This used to be moderated closely, and I think since this has been a classy forum, leniency was given. All I know is some great posters have moved on. I would like to see them back and see new additions. Peace

I agree, I think once a ball gets rolling its hard to have it come to a stop. We just need to just keep on track with talking about the Bears and let the small talk die.

 

I think if health stays good for us, we are a SB contender this year. We look at this on paper and say, we could be really good, but we all know each year takes on its own story. I am a optimist and have reason to be that way. It is all not perfect, but makes me smile when thinking about what this season could mean.

 

If some people leave, that is sad but that gives someone else a chance to take a front seat and keep this going forward. We all just need to keep things in perspective and control what we do and not worry about the other guy and move on.

well, i guess if you 'assume' it, it must be so.

 

 

 

you are "never an opponent of catering to a select few"? then which of your multiple personalities made the statement below?

 

 

 

i admire your broad minded approach as to who should or should not frequent this site. after all, i am sure nobody who is not a male over the age of 18 could possibly have anything worthwhile to contribute in discussing the chicago bears anyway.

 

 

 

"I" seems to be a very large portion of your vocabulary.

 

 

 

yup, 'love it or leave it' is always the best policy in my book.

 

the point is this... every person that does or 'would' contribute to this site is a plus for EVERYONE involved. it expands the knowledge of what this site is all about and why people come here.

 

so why limit it because you or someone else can't keep your fingers off of the F key? if you feel it is some kind of 'heat of the moment' thing and can't seem to control yourself, that is why they put an EDIT button below each individuals post.

 

again, i am not trying to dictate policy here but maybe the site GOD should step in and let us ALL know just what the policies for this site really are and who it IS catering to. inquiring minds want to know.

This is a Bear football blog and if you ever went to any games before, you would realize this is an extension of sports fans. All of there language is not under control. I personally pick and choose when I swear. If children or the chruch ladies are around, I watch my language, if I am amongst a bunch of guys, I havent heard people complaining. You,as I, are entitled to our opinions. If this site it to vulgar for you, I suggest you find a different site to visit. If you want to save the world I think you can use your time more wisely. Some of these arguments get real stupid, and I have been in a few. The fact is I dont support stupidity but sometimes become a participant. I dont mean to offend anyone, but I am sure I do sometimes. You make it out like the only communication on this site is out of control. That is not true, it doesnt happen very often. I am respectful to people, and if you object to everybodies language on here, voice your opinion and we will move on. It you wish to be a cross bearer, I suggest you leave this heathen place and get all the women and any children that are compromised on here and start the Disney Bear talk. If I am out of line by my speech I would like to hear it from the ones I have offended. I think we have heard your opinion on this matter a lot more than we wanted to. Or should I say I, because apparently, you think your opinion is more the majority on here.

 

For all I have offended, I am sorry, there was no malice to my stupid statements but for you, I dont really care to have you repeat yourself, we understand you stance. You should go try to save a drug addict or alcoholic, they need your help more than we do.

I commend your efforts.

 

However language really is a 2 way street.

 

As much as one should take heed to what they say, how they say it and where they say it...listeners must take heed that sometimes things may be said that they could find offense to and simply carry on. I feel this board is like going to a real game. For the most part, we have mostly adults (in age, sometimes not so much in wisdom...). So the beer flows, the volume gets loud, and sometimes some language pops out. Yup. There are probably some ladies and kids that may not be thrilled with a couple of words, but for the most part it's harmless fun. It's only when the bad language flows heavily where people really get turned away. Also, when pushing and shoving (name calling) happens. Those isntances tend to offend the most people. Some of those folks simply leave. (Or call security).

 

As a long-time poster here. I really try not to make any personal attacks and to keep the language chill. When I swear, I try to put in symbols, so that adults can easily tell what I wrote, but maybe a kid won't. Or at least, they see I'm attempting some semblance of restraint...like f&$k. But with that said, that's me. I sure as hope and am glad that everyone doesn't go about like me. It'd be too damn boring!

 

So in a nutshell, I think some effort should be made to self-monitor one's language and personal attacks. But also, some effort should be made for others not to take that language or insults personally....and for the most part, I think that's already happening.

 

We all here do a pretty good job of self-policing. And there is a healthy amount of letting something play out a bit... But when a push comes to shove, we're all just one happy dysfunctional family! And I for one, like going to the family dinners to see the fireworks!

 

Let me first say, I think you are to nice, but your opinion is well stated.I kinda addressed the same opinion in a response before I read this. This is public, just like being in public, so if you dont like something-QUIT READING IT. Swearing and arguing is part of life, we just need to deal with it.When in public, around kids or church ladies , I avoid being vulgar, but on here everything is like sitting in front of a computer and saying what pops in my head and usually it is R rated, not PG.

i am not sure where your "we are all adults" comes from. this is an open forum to the public as far as i know. i have never seen any adult or men only ratings or references on this site. you have a wide variety of posters and readers on here and i can only assume that includes kids, young adults AND women trying to glean information about the chicago bears.

 

believe me i am no prude and i can turn the air blue on occasions that would make a drunken sailor blush. but i try not to do it in public for obvious reasons (at least to me). occasional off color remarks i have no problem with but some of the graphic hard core references are a bit much in my opinion and quite frankly are embarrassing when i can only assume that some folks other than adult males are reading this.

 

that said... i am not trying to dictate any policy or force anyone to adhere to my thoughts or opinions. i am not an admin on here and certainly don't own this site so 'those that be' can do as they wish on here.

 

just my 2 cents worth.

Everybody looks at things differently, and I assumed we are all older and mostly male Bear fans, I am never an opponent of catering to a select few. The majority fall into to the category of males over 18 on here and if there is a child or women that is offended by some of the things that get said in heated exchange on here, they need to just stop reading it. I dont consider this a PG site, more of a R rated type. With all the blogs I have jumped on and read dealing with sports this in not more vulgar or cleaner than any of the others. Point is , is something offends someone be your own moderator and turn off your computer. I think we should cater to a majority and go with what standards they wish to have. By all of the opinions given so far, I think this site is alive and well.

I may be an exception but I really don't see Briggs as a leader other than by his performance on the field. I can't find the article right now but he had some quotes recently that made him sound happy that someone else was taking over the play calling responsibilities. He's a quiet guy in some ways who just wants to come in and do his job. He is definitely respected in the locker room but I can't recall many players saying he was a coach on the field always getting guys into the right position ala Mike Brown years ago. Briggs was pretty clear last year that he wasn't comfortable making the calls in the defensive huddle.

 

By popular vote the majority here would trade him for a 2nd Rd pick. Those who wouldn't trade him at all are all-in that we can win the Superbowl this year and see no reason to take a risk. I said initially that if things were looking good with our young LB'ers in training camp I'd accept a 3rd but a 2nd Rd pick would close the deal for me before training camp.

He is not a team leader, because of his success, he may have been put in that roll, but his leadership showed last year when he came back from injury out of shape and invisible. He is in a contract year so he will say all the things he needs to do, but all I want out of him is one more year and just have one more veteran on the team as the young guys learn.

Meh, we're built to win this year IMO so I probably wouldn't do it. Now if the draft was tomorrow and they offered 2nd today I'd do it.

I agree were are going for it, we have a 3 year window and if we can get one more good year out of Briggs, I am all in. He is not a favorite of mine, but is a good player when focused.

i agree with you that the admins really do need to start cleaning this up before the site turns into a mess.

 

i also agree on the foul language aspect and maybe even some of the avatar's that get too far off base. there is no need for it and it was something that set this site apart from other flame sites with four letter derogatives thrown out with every other word typed by cretins with pubescency issues.

 

i have no problems with infighting, serious arguments or even in-house flaming, but...

 

maybe THINK before you type something you wouldn't want your 8 year old daughter reading would go a long way on this board.

I agree this needs to be cleaned up A LITTLE but this is not the Christian Science Monitor blog, its a Bear football thing and we are all adults. I think any reference to personal attacks, is lame, but if some foul language pops up, its not the end of the world. If my avatar offend anybody,Im sorry, it is just an expression of my love for women, and dont find that classless. I would say it displays class, but I will be more prudent in my pic choices.

gotta say it's nice seeing J. Allen in Bears gear

 

It is interesting to hear that they are experimenting with Jennings moving to nickel backer and Fuller outside. I would have expected Fuller to come in as the nickel as I'm sure most of us would. But I'm sure they will be doing some experimentations at CB, and at some point they'll test Jennings staying put and Fuller at nickel. I'm glad they are moving parts around to see what works best on field.

 

I like hearing that SMC is looking good at LB, he's definitely got the measurables and tools to be a very effective LB. This move could prove to salvage his career. Most of us were saying he's a better fit at LB than DE when he was drafted now we will get to see if we were right.

 

Bummer about Hix torn ACL and subsequent early retirement. But thankfully he's not a key component to our team. Like the Cowboys loosing Lee again.

 

Always good to get Bears news

I am not sure but dont think anybody made the team from there OTAs performances. It is just a session getting people in the right spots and learning there specific assignments. Never really tells us much.

Honestly. If you have a problem with jason, you ar cracker that has fun trying to start shit. Someone that drinks a lot of Kool Aid and won't listen to a reasonable debate on your opinion. Or holding holding old grudges.

 

I was young and argued like crazy and it came off bad. I got into it with many people and said too much being to be the the moral police.

 

But, I bet there hasn't been a insulting word said by him before any of you had insulted this board or him. An really, it was super tight before with admins what could and couldnt be said. And holding grudges for what like five years, over something that wasn't allowed there, get over it. The bull shit in the michael sam thread would have been busted in a day on that site.

 

If you didn't like the word change, get over it. IF you don't like some ones opinion defend your own. Grow a freakin pair.

 

Urlacher ONLYwanted to play for the Bears last year. They didn't want to negotiate so he retired. He;s back this year, so that blows the shit off no one not wanting, he off a year off. So all the Koolaid drinking, Shit raising, name calling mofos, need to stop being babies, and realize he was just justified on his argument by Urlacher coming back.

 

Sometime's dont see shit the same as you, get over it..... Name a good line backer for the Bears last year, any better than the QB of the defense that called plays. Last or near it in run d?

 

 

And since I used foul Language which I stopped because of flea and his family, Flea, come back i miss you, and NFO, and now apparently Jason, because people want to be a horses butt and realize they aren't always right.

 

I mean seriously. Who Here, has NOT called Jason a name first, and when have the peole mad ever disagreed on oppinion? I'm willing to bet whatever yall mostly see shit the same way.

 

Y'all don't get Jason back, I'm sure myself, Terra or whoever else that disagrees with nonstop Kool Aid will be gone. I can go to other sites and get an update on the bears easier. I come here for family feel, and logical debates. So basically, freak ALL YOU ALL that chased Jason off. I'm outtie too till he comes back. Deal with being wrong, calling names, not doing forum rules when he was an admin 5 years ago, if that's your problem freak ya. If I let that shit get that far under my skin I could never talk to SC or cracka.

I am not privy to old wounds, but have had as heated arguments with SCS and Bowling on here and now like those guys(what happened to me?) The more of those type of arguments lead me to be on here more so I can irritate relentlessly. The only reason I would leave this site is if I quite being a Bear fan(not going to happen) so all you fellow irritants, Im not going anywhere.

It's called pathetic irony...

 

Which word did I mispell? I'm always sure to do spell check when sparring with literary giants like him. Wouldn't want my glass house to get broke.

I always dont have time to spell check, and sometimes my brain doesnt work. I just wanted you guys to know Im sensitive, and all this criticism hurts my feelings.

Come on back boys, we have a great year coming up and your views will be missed.

I will put my name on that list. Kinda like a vitual petition. Hey I dont agree with him all the time, but the guy adds to this blog.

Don't worry, the feeling is mutual sweet cheeks.

 

 

 

Don't be so hard on yourself, you never say (or write) anything stupid.

Its funny how condescending you are, considering you cant spell the word.

I dont think Im being a jerk.

To be honest, I didnt read back to see who Jason was referring too. I meant-who Jason thinks is a jerk- and maybe that isnt even the case. He obviously had a problem with somebody, or several, it doesnt really matter, its all about the passion of argument. I have argued with several on here, hit up Bowling-found out he was cool-hit up SCS- found out he was cool-hit up Alaska-dont like him, but all of that is ok. We all on here because of the Bears and I think everybody is cool(except for one) and like this site a lot. If Jason is gone, its his lost, I wish he was here, but will find someone else to disagree with. We ALL say something stupid.,me too, so that creates passion of argument, love that.

Wise words from a man I admire....

I love sarcasm. I think Jason is pretty sharp but dont always agree with him. to be honest I wouldnt be on this site if everybody agreed and drank coolaid and kissy face, bah, bah bah. That would make me throw up.

I thought of quitting the old board when you whined like a bitch. I didn't put up a fight, and even volunteered not to be an admin because I didn't want to deal with bitches like you any more. I even talked to Pix about it. It just wasn't fun at that point. I've noticed the admins on the current board either don't have time, don't care, or have changed their opinions on what should be allowed and what should not. I loved the Bears before the board, and could certainly do so after. But I stuck around. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

 

And with that, I'm out.

Wow, I would have never guessed that's what you looked like.

 

For what its worth, your one of the more interesting people on here. You have your faults but so does everybody else. To leave this board because someone is being a jerk, is the coward way out. You , more than anybody has the intelligence to give them a hard time. That has a fun value in that.

Yes, Cutler hasn't gone to the next level yet. Everything is in place for him to do so.

 

McCown wasn't taking us to the promised land. Cutler might not. But, the odds of him doing it are better. And I believe he will. The run to the top starts this season. It may not hit the pinnacle this season, but it starts. The foundation will be laid.

 

I simply believe it.

 

I totally agree with you. Cutler will reach his peak this year. We seen the flashers in the past but everything is in place,if it wasnt for the injuries, we would be talking on a different level right now.

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to the season!

As for me, I am the type that likes everyone and never disagree with anybody. I cant see how two chaps can get so riled up over an opinion difference.
