madlithuanian Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ha!

bradjock Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Ha! I guess we can give full credit to JA on letting BB go now officially! Agreed! We'd be pissed if he was great, so it's nice to see him struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracks me up. I knew that Berrian wasn't anything close to the WR he thought, or thinks he is. He didn't deserve the huge money. Hell, at this point I'd say Lloyd looks like has overall better tools than Berrian any way. The best part about your post Terra, was that I thought it said "Hey Berrian (Wade)", as if you were basically calling Berrian another Wade. Bernard Wade anyone?

He didn't deserve the huge money. That's true as hell, but are you pissed at the guy for signing a 40+ million dollar contract? Heck it doesn't matter what Berrian thought of himself, it's the fact that Minnesota thought he was worthy of receiving the richest WR contract ever. For the last two seasons Berrian had some huge catches for this team. Good for him. Let him eat up Minnesota's salary cap. He's their version of Moose, except Muhammed actually had an incredible year before he came here. Berrian can be a good WR, but he'll never be great. Hell, at this point I'd say Lloyd looks like has overall better tools than Berrian any way. Lloyd's not the deep threat, but his hands are definitely better. Most importantly, we're not paying Lloyd squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd's not the deep threat, but his hands are definitely better. Most importantly, we're not paying Lloyd squat. Do I blame the guy? HELL YES I BLAME HIM!!!! He's essentially the epitome of the greed athlete affecting the Bears. The guy was loved in Chicago, made into a #1 WR when he really wasn't one, and he went for the huge money. I know what many will say: "But wouldn't anyone go for a raise? How can you turn it down?" To that I say, it's just not the same. Once you're over a few million, it's all the same. Many people live, with families, on mere fractions of what the guy WAS making, but then he went for the huge money. Would he have received millions from the Bears?! Hell yeah he would have. But the millions weren't enough, he wanted millions and millions more. Greed I tell you. Greed. I hope he sucks, and the rest of his career sucks as long as he's not with the Bears. With that said, the only good thing about the scenario is that he's wasting cap space in Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 This must be the year that the Bears are going to go up against a lot of their former players and with the Titans on the schedule we will see Justin Gage also.He seems to be doing ok there.Gireise this week,Moose and Chris Harris last week and Wade and Berrian coming up.
