RE alex brown for SS chris harris


chitownfootball

Recommended Posts

The whole point of this thread was to see if anyone had heard anything about a possible trade here. I guess not. Like I said it was likely just a rumor.

As for Chris Harris being an avg safety, I say that thinking Polomalu is top tier, Dawkins is an above avg player, Harris is in the middle. I am not knocking him. He is better than the rookies we played last year, and would start on most teams. The value now adays goes to safties with good range and coverage skills. Harris isn't really known for them.

The thing that annoyed me is how a few people here were taking shots at Alex Brown when he has been one of the most admirable and consitent players around Chicago. He has solid numbers and that doesn't even take in to account his leadership values. It's crazy to claim he isn;t as good as that dude Brayton. (look at their numbers). To clarify, he is going to be released anyway because he plays the same possition as our new top 5 RDE Peppers, and was set to earn $5M which needs to be freed to make a run at a FS (not a SS) i.e. Sharper/Atogwe.

As for Cutler, I have no idea why that was brought up, but I would take him over Delhomme or Moore anyday. We ranked 31st in the run last year so teams sat back in coverage all day and ate our neophyte receivers for dinner.

I will leave by saying Brown is a better Dlineman than anyone who plays for CAR now. I hope you guys don't sign him because if you will treat an elite DE like Peppers poorly, I can only imagine how you would treat a DE who's only good.

Keep telling yourself it was your lack of a running game that caused Cutler throw all those picks... LOL

Last year we finally got a look at Cutler without Marshall and Royal and it wasn't pretty. The Bears can sign all the high priced DE's and HB's they want but until they get an OL and some WR's they will be fighting not to finish last in the NFC north.

Trading Harris for Brown would be asinine. Whatever Brown was, right now there is no comparison between the value of these two guys and that's all that matters. On top of that, if we want Brown all we have to do is wait since it's inevitable the Bears will release him.

I am glad Pep hated it in CAR.

Because he loves it in CHI!

until he realizes that Jay Cutler is actually Jake Delhomme in disguise, and spends 75% of the game on the field having to defend a short field because Cutler is striving to break the career int record.

Super... Then everyone is happy. Well maybe not Lovie who will be without a job a year from now.

But sure Pep loves it in CHI he is grossly overpaid and everyone loves him. When he gets blocked by a TE you guys will not love him any more and then Peps realize he cant hide in a big market city team.

As for the trade... Sure we will trade our leader in our secondary for a guy that is going to get cut anyway. And sure we will pay him 5 mil a year to be a backup.

If the panthers made this trade(which they wont), I would loose all faith in the front office.

He said in his first post that this is an unrealiable rumour. Unless he's said something after that about it being "solid" your not being fair.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
