October 13, 20196 yr Author comment_176351 I thank Kyle for all he has done for the organization and city, but he's done. Never seem to recover from the injuries. This is one of those additions by subtraction as anyone in place of Long will be an upgrade at this point. I wish Kyle the best and would expect him to retire. I am also glad the team made the move and didn't continue sending him out there just for the sake of it. They need to treat all underperforming guys like this, whether it's injury related or not. Don't make decisions solely based on the cap hit. Report

October 13, 20196 yr comment_176359 Long was a fantastic talent but his body has betrayed him. It's best to move on now. Thanks, Kyle, for all you gave the Bears. Peace Report
October 14, 20196 yr comment_176374 He was a bright spot for us through many dark years. Thank you Kyle!!! Report
October 14, 20196 yr comment_176376 Heck of a career and a ton of heart. I hope he can somehow get right physically to go at it again, but either way, I think him for leaving it all on the line during his tenure with the Bears. Report

He got snaps in the preseason at LT. Now we went with Coward as the backup OT but if Coward wins the starting RG spot which is quite likely then who is our backup OT? We still have Lucas who did ok in his one start. I just checked and the Bears have Lucas listed as backup LT, Bars is listed as backup RT. Personally I don't think Bars has the skillset for OT but Leno isn't the most gifted player either. With Leno's mental mistakes, both penalties and missed blocks, at this point if we can just eliminate the mental mistakes we'd be much better off. Report
