I'm shocked I knew he was hurt last year but retiring seems odd

Lake Forest, IL –

Running back Marion Barber has decided to retire from the NFL after seven seasons, the Chicago Bears announced Friday.

Barber, 28, entered the league with the

Dallas Cowboys in 2005 as a fourth- round draft pick.

The Minnesota product spent the first six years of his career with

the Cowboys before joining the Bears prior to last season. In his lone season with Chicago, Barber played in 11 games and gained 422 yards on 114 carries while pacing the team with six rushing touchdowns.

Barber ran for 4,780 yards and 53 touchdowns in 99 career games. He also caught 179 passes for 1,330 yards and six scores.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
