Bears Fans

Recommended Posts

That's just the way some fans are. A friend of mine who lives in Chicago and is a huge bears fans hates the signing of Peppers. He's predicting a 7-9 season.

Bears still:

A) Have one of the worst offensive lines in the league, therefore any running back they have will look bad

B) Have no legitimate #1 receiver, and are about to lose their best tight end.

C) Have zero impact draft picks(no first or second) so they will have to be lucky if they want an player that will provide an immediate impact. Unlikely as the Bears are one of the worst drafting teams in the league.

D) Their coaching staff still sucks balls

etc etc need me to keep going?

Congrats Bears fans, you got one player when your team is for the most part in shambles, yet still are among the top for overall salaries!

They were 7 -9 last season and just got better, they can surely win 1 or two more games this season.

A) The line looked a hell of alot better at the end of the season when they moved Chris williams to his natural position at LT(Jared Allen got blocked all game on MNF) and Shafer to RT, they will address O-line again this season. and it should get better.

B)They had young receivers that all did pretty darn good and Devin Aromashadu looked like a very viable option. Talk now is that Greg Olsen isn't going anywhere and Dez Clark is still pretty good as well.

C)True no 1st or 2nd but let's not forget they have drafted very well in rounds 3 and later, for example, Forte was a 3rd round pick and made an immediate impact. I don't see where in the draft "rule book" it says you have to be a 1st or 2nd rounder to make an immediate impact, They basically just drafted Peppers, Chester Yaylor and a beast 300 pound blocking TE(the Line just got better again)

D) Can't argue that!:D

but please go on.

Good to see you know your team well. But Forte was a 2nd round pick.

I agree with this 100%, I think it's a great pick up for Chicago and no he is definitely not the 2nd coming of LT(who the hell said that?) Bears fans have a right to be excited , their defense just got better, did it not?

The Bears pass rush needed an upgrade. They got exactly that in Peppers.

However, the problem with Peppers is still his personality and inconsistent play. The Bears got exactly what we had...a physiclaly gifted player who can absolutely take over a game. He plays great for 3-4 games a year....is average 5-6 games a year....and disappeares for 6-8 games a year.

He could have been the next coming of LT, but his personality and work ethic has never been there.

My bad, for some reason I kept thinking we got him in the 3rd oh well, kudos to you(mid 2nd-3rd,what's the difference?). Anyhow, back to my point, These other guys were all immediate impact players for the Bears drafted in rounds 3-up: Jonny Knox(3rd), Lance Briggs(3rd), Alex Brown(4th), Olin Kreutz(3rd) even your beloved Chris Harris was a 6th rounder.

    • 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.
