Daventry

No way for me....as discussed before.

I also don't want to lose high picks or AJ for Cousins. He looked good against us but hasn't been great all year, and like Pix I don't want more Cutler/Mirer type losses of picks to see nothing from it. I think we pick our own player, whenever seems to make more sense, and develop guys we have and/or pick up.

He sure is not helping his case today....cannot afford 4 interceptions every week.

Another stupid interception....

Barkley has had some good plays...and some bad ones too. I hope he is not going to go Cutler on us.

Hicks and Howard maybe....and Floyd for ROY on defence. But who is watching the Bears right now except us, or those like us, who are die hard fans? Nobody on the team needs any Pro Bowl appearance right now, they need to be hungry for next year.

Would be nice if we got a quality corner for next to nothing; our first round pick, Fuller, is looking like he is ready for the scrap heap.

If that is so, why can't we get a 2nd round pick of our own and let him grow like Rodgers in Green Bay? I think the idea of giving the Pats a high pick for JG is silly. We have to get the system right, i.e. coaches and team strength, and then a QB can be less than perfect and shine. Look at McMahon.....lots of wins, but he didn't do it on his own.

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...a6-53aecf7c37c1 Wilson is out again; I think this is it for him with the Bears. Also notable, Royal is out for the next game too. Like Royal, I say let him go.

I wouldn't give New England a first or second for JG; they have a record of passing on back up QB's who don't cut it. Think what we gave up for Cutler; he was more proven than this guy. And what did we get? Not much, and lost a load of picks. No way. We need to develop our own, and in the meantime use what we have. We are not a SB ready team anyway right now, let's see what Barkley, Shaw and maybe Hoyer can do and try to pick someone up in the draft. There has to be some Prescott's out there next year.

Out of those three, I keep Meredith 110%. He has been one of the few positive surprises this year in the WR camp. Tend to agree on Alshon and Paulson. Shame about Houston, but too many injuries.

Also, definitely Cutler and Wilson out....Wilson just can't stay healthy. Hoyer I would keep if not too expensive, depending on the draft.

I definitely say goodbye to Royal and Houston, not sure about the rest. Leno and Massie seem OK to keep I would think, as well as Porter.

I agree, we have to keep in mind all of the backups Barkley is throwing to....11 drops in one game? I think he has potential, he has pedigree and could be solid at least.

I am just thinking...how many great QB's come from nowhere? Brady? Farve? Prescott?

That could be true....but I hate to waste a number one draft pick on another question mark. It seems there is no certain pick this year......but then honestly, I don't keep up as much as I could on the options out there. Is it worth moving up vs getting a sure bet stud somewhere else? Some teams have won with decent QB's....can we?

I am starting to think that Barkley might be an answer....I know, some here will say I am nuts but considering he has not played with the first team until a few games ago, we are working with rookie WR's, not to mention a new TE, I wonder how he might do with a few more games experience and a full pre-year training camp as a number one QB getting all of the reps. I guess what I am saying, we have a lot of needs; secondary, WR, offensive line, another defensive stud wouldn't hurt.

Not me, he is too old and injury prone. We need a guy for the future, might as well take Hoyer and Barkley for short term answers and not spend the money IMO.

At this point, I would bring most if not all of the coaches back and give them another shot. See how we can do with less injuries and no Cutler.

I have a hard time believing this rumour....if anyone is gone, it would have to be Loggains I would think.

Just been talking about that on Facebook....Rest in Peace Rashaan.

That is all true, but the article was really about how the original football team, the Chicago Bears, have sucked for many years. The lack of attention to the QB position is the identified issue in the article basically IMO....and I think we held on to Cutler way too long. With all of the excuses, look at the wins and losses. Maybe there was other issues that contributed, but his demeanour did him no favours and his turnovers hurt time and again. It is hard to believe we never at least drafted a young guy to develop or signed a solid and young FA who could be the long term answer in how many years?

I don't know about that; the news was all over the media Cutler was done for the year. Fox comes out and says otherwise, two weeks later Cutler is on IR. Come on, we are not in the SB hunt...what difference does it make really. Cutler is not exactly Brady, so having him does not guarantee much better than Barkley IMO. Maybe idiotic statements like Fox made is why the media reportedly don't like him much. As a fan, I think it is way over the line to make constant BS statements. For me, I don't believe anything he says anymore about injuries, and the only person he is fooling is himself IMO.

Amen!
