No special teams ability really hurts him. He could be a street pick up once the season starts but, despite liking him, can't see it happening. Dude...I totally understand the importance of special teams.....but this receiving core is 'special needs' I'm by no means suggesting Wilson is the answer....

Look at Sam Bradford... Dude isn't a world beater right now, but he's infinantly better then he was in STL. He was hearing footsteps. Wasn't seeing the field and going through his reads.... Now he's grown as a QB and see's the field much better. He's not a great arm talent and doesn't take many risk...

That GREAT to hear.

In the long run...this could be fortunate for him. Hopefully the dearth of talent at WR forces the Bears to make a move next offseason and they acquire another receiver to run outside and let Cam move back to the slot. Last year Meredith averaged 2.89 of separation on his targets in the slot compar...

Pretty much where I'm at.....and I see Wright with at least 20 more receptions then anyone else (any other WR) on this roster baring another signing or trade.

Bill are in full blown tank mode....and aren't shy about who knows it.

I don't even really have a problem with that in itself....but I just don't think they are getting great value for the vets they are moving.

I know this wasn't the direction you were trying to go with this post....but I think it illustrates another great point. Just a few years ago we were building our dreams around Willson (a free agent), Marshall (now on a second team and the #2 WR), TBU (on a second team), Forte (who the Jets are tryi...

I have got high hopes for this dude, but this injury shit is making me doubt the dude will ever play a full season. I just keep hoping he's like Fred Taylor......Nicknamed Fraggle Freddie for his tendency to get hurt. Taylor only started 36 games over his first 4 years....but went on to start 46 th...

I think it's unfair to say he would have disappointed outside, because there is no way to know for sure. There is no doubt that there are exceptions to every rule and these guys wouldn't be in the NFL if they weren't the greatest athletes in the would and if they hadn't already beaten the odds mult...

Eh, I can't get worked up about the money because it really depends on how the contract is structured. Totally agree.....look at all the 'rage' against Jay's huge deal and how he only ended up with the 54 mill that was guaranteed. So yes...if they want to give Hicks a 200 million dollar deal with j...

The goal is to win Superbowls correct? Of the last 11 QBs to win the Superbowl.....8 of them did not start week one of their rookie year. ... Mitch can learn from the sidelines early this year to better prepare him to succeed one he steps on the field. Is that counting the last 11 superbowls or the...

Just 'bumping' this with reference to my last comment. Did you come back just to gloat?? :D Then I must be telepathic too....because I was back for days before the signing. ;) ...not saying I'm not More to the point....there are many of us that have been around here for years that can call this con...

I LOVE Hicks and IMO he's been arguably the best player on the Bears roster since he signed here. But I've always been against giving big bodies on the defensive line big contracts and I'm not about to change my mind now. Go back at look at EVERY defensive lineman's multi year deal signed in the las...

The goal is to win Superbowls correct? Of the last 11 QBs to win the Superbowl.....8 of them did not start week one of their rookie year. Consider one of those three exceptions is P. Manning and that one of them is a J.A.G. in Flacco..... it's pretty clear to see a 'trend' or the 'norm". No.......

That contract will be surpassed soon enough. Until the NFL starts declining, these contracts are only gonna go up. Believe it or not.....Matt Stafford will top this contract next year. I don't understand all this 'dancing' between teams and players when it comes to contracts. Everyone knew where th...

As usually.....you made my point much better then I did...with far fewer words!

Get the O-ling straightened out. Hope you figure something out at receiver (Meredith is great at getting separation from the slot, but was pedestrian at best outside….however Cruz can probably only play the slot as well. Can White bring anything. Can Shaheen bring anything to the table making such a...

I get all this excitement about Trubisky but why start him week one? Is this suddenly a playoff team with him under center? Will is skills and abilities evaporate if he’s not under center for week one? Look…this o-line is in flux. We have one of the worst WR groups in the entire league (it was the w...

Holt mentioned speed...so that kind of eliminates Kendall.

Dude....kickers are a complete wreck across the entire league right now.

I don't know what in the hell is going on, but I'm all for overturning any and every stone trying to find the best option.

I know Biggs and Jim Miller had both been suggesting this has been in the works for some time and both expressed interst in how it would be perceived by the fan base. It's about as I expected.......Leno isn't an overwhelming talent, but there simply isn't 32 men on this earth that can play LT in the...

Heard and interview with Tory Holt a few weeks back when he was talking about getting to work with KW this offseason. He said (paraphrasing here) "the kids got out of this world speed and he's physically 'back' ....but I (Tory) wished I had more time to work with him on the little things that w...

Goldman and McPhee are basically our best players and barely played this season. When they are both back... Yes, I think Goldman is the best player on this team (period) and McPhee is the emotional leader. I find our current numbers outstanding and can only imagine how they may climb as we get heal...

I think this further highlights just how 'close' all these QBs are to each other and how it's breaks and supporting cast that changes perceptions..

Something is wrong with me. I have tried to respond to this thread 14 million times but my care-o-meter was just too low. JAY CUTLER IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS.
