Bears looking at a former Panther


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I love it. They are becoming the K Mart version of the Panthers. Or....

they are the GoBots to our Transformers (not Bayformers)

They are the crappy Ghostbusters cartoon (with the ape) compared to our Real Ghostbusters cartoon (Boogeyman was scary AF)

They are the "military action figure" GI Joe knockoff that your grandma bought you for your birthday that you had to pretend that you loved but in reality all you wanted was Serpentor and his flying chariot. (This I Command!)

Yes, I'm still stuck in the 80s. What a great decade to be a kid. But to get back on topic, the Bears suck and I probably won't draft any of them in my fantasy football league this year.

I knew this was a terrible pick the moment it happened. I called it on this very forum and was laughed at and called names.

Another name on the list of wasted second round picks from Marty. 

You do realize Hurney hit on his picks as much as he missed on them in the second round, right? Yes, in the second round he had a run of bad ones, but he also had a run of good ones while heading up the draft - including Ryan Kalil. Silatolu started 28 of 33 games for the Panthers. His issue has been with injuries, and the Panthers kept him for his entire rookie contract. I would not be the least bit surprised to see him turn out like Evan Mathis or Gary Barnidge. So, if you believe Evan Mathis to be a terrible pick too, then I agree with your reasoning.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
