I'll have what he's smoking

The Chicago Bears just put the finishing touches on a stink bomb of a season in which they tied the franchise record for losses (13). Their 2017 starting quarterback probably isn't on the roster and the team hasn't qualified for the playoffs in seven years.

In other words, the Bears have a long way to go in the road back to respectability. This is a popular opinion, but not a universal one. Take it away, Alshon Jeffery.

"I guarantee you we'll win the Super Bowl next year," Jeffery said after Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Vikings, via ESPN.com. "We had a lot of injuries. I don't think a team in the league had as much injuries as us."

Maybe he's signing with the Patriots -- they've had a lot of injuries and have a pretty good shot next year as well. He's a UFA, no?

It doesn't matter if he shoots himself in the foot by hitching his wagon to Shula and never wins one. Just ask any panther from our first run, getting there isn't worth diddly and I can't fathom this team pulling a Fox and never making it back because Rivera is too loyal, ignorant, stubborn, or stupid to realize it. Let's hope he either wisens up or we will waste another season for no good reason.

'It is, what it is'; 'Sometimes a punt isn't a bad play'.  I'll just stop there.

If they can be completely free of the coach-killing, non-thrilling, spinning wheeling, banana peeling Cutler at QB, who knows what can happen? Getting that millstone from around their necks will make them more competitive.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
