I think his 54 rushes for 144 yds in his final 4 games did him in. In comparison, our AP ran for 51 for 193 in his last 2 games.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;_ylt=Aj...p&type=lgns It's official.

Yeah, you are right, the expectations killed it. Good point.

James Harrison over Briggs? DeMeco Ryans over Urlacher? Those are some reaches there.

Hester was the only Bear to make it. Surprised some others didn't even make 2nd team honors. No Briggs or Harris. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true

Walker and Miller cost too much vs their production. The ONLY way they are on the Bears next year is with a new contract. Also, I think Walker has a huge roster bonus coming up in March. We will know what happens to him by then. Also, we will know before the draft whether tags get applied.

SF fits his style better than the Bears. I could even see him taking over as HC if SF struggles.

I agree. He was not earning that much as a coach.

It is probably a good thing anyway. It would've cost the Bears too much.

I called that one.

Yep, zero compensation: The only benefit is the right to match the offer.

It is all about the Benjamins, or Carroll believes USC is going to decline soon. That way he goes out before all the scandals and penalties hit.

No reason stated. Kind of odd since it is one of Lovie's guys.

So who is next?

As it was mentioned before. The Redskins are great at making cap space. You never know with them.

Not a bad idea, but I think the Coordinator jobs are not going to change this year. How much would another change impact the defense? They already had to deal with it last year. It might be better to give everyone a 2nd year under Babich. You also can't make much of an assessment after last year alone.

Man that was bad. It is not the same as the original. Almost seems fake. My brother tried out for the original series a long time ago.

It did take me a second to realize what the hell you were talking about.

I don't think there is an easy solution to the QB situation. The only way I would draft a QB at #14 in the Bears current state is if someone fell into our laps. Otherwise, there is no QB worth the 14th pick. I am not trying to say that it is always bad to draft a QB in the first round. There are too many factors to determine that. However, in the Bears current state, and with the current available QB's in the draft, there doesn't seem to be a good fit. My point was more in respect to recent years. For some reason most of the new QBs are not producing as expected. Rivers seems like the only above average QB to be drafted in the first round over the last few years. Now if the draft is your route, who do you pick at #14, Woodson? Ryan and Brohm seem to be slotted to go in the Top 10.

I think your right. It is not so black and white. You can probably make your case either way about every position and have information to back it up.

Can they extend Anderson to a cap friendly deal with a big signing bonus, then trade him before the cap hit gets too big? I just think they need one year with Quinn at the helm before letting their security blanket go. Rivers had two years before taking over in SD. I think Quinn will get it as well.

I didn't hand pick them. I actually was comparing Manning and Grossman, then threw in Young and Leinhart because they were the first two drafted in 2006. Russell and Quinn did not play enough to compare. If I went another year back, it would've been Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers. Check their stats. They suck too. Actually your point is taken, but it is sort of hollow. Breaking down only the first 20 QB's is also a way to influence your point. You can stop the number wherever it proves your point. Here is the Top 10 rated passers: First round: 3 2nd round: 1 3rd round: 0 4th round: 1 5th round: 0 6th round: 2 Undrafted: 3 These are more of the elite QBs. When you say Top 20, you start getting into the average category. Looking at these numbers, you have just as much of a chance at getting an elite QB undrafted than you do in the 1st round. That is my point. I don't care about drafting the 20th best QB in the league, and I damn sure don't want to do that with the 14th pick.

I wouldn't be surprised if CLE held onto Anderson for one more year. Just think if they let him go and Quinn turns into Ryan Leaf.

Yeah, how bout it.
