One thing that will be worth watching

The Bears' front office is spending with "reckless abandon", exploiting the uncapped period while they can, while the Panthers' front office seems to be pulling their belt straps in. I think that it will be worth noting, both in the long and short term, which team (approach) leads to the better outcome.

I am going to sit back and scrutinize this thing for at least the next five years.

I could just be my own wishful thinking, but I see our FO as being more successful in both the short and long term.

Bears FO is proving how dumb they are.

1) Giving WAY too much up for Cutler

2) Blaming the offensive line, wide receivers, run game, defense.. basically EVERYONE except Cutler for his mistakes.

3) Giving him an extension

4) Going on a spending spree on the first day in free agency when there could very well be a lockout in 2011 or if not, a cap back in place. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs if this whole thing goes wrong.

It won't go wrong but it won't go right, either. A few people will lose their jobs, it might not be apparent who all will at first, and there will be murky waters for them. That's how it always goes, really.

They are still stupid and it's not going to help them in the least (all of the spending).

Well, the only way I can see 'things going right' is if Bears win the SB. Any other outcome means their experiment has failed.

and to be honest, depending on if Favre comes back or not, Bears are the 3rd best team in their own division. Doesn't matter how good their defense is, their offensive line is still completely garbage, they still don't have a legitimate set of receivers, and their TE Olson wants out.

      Tetairoa McMillan - Your 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year - (Welp... Guess I Was Right)

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
