illinilaw08 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 03:25 PM) Also "not historically bad" is a hilarious defense of the offensive talent. "Historically bad" was inelegant phrasing on my part. The point is that the Bears offense was ok down the stretch last year with Matt Barkley at QB, Alshon suspended, and Josh Bellamy actively trying to knock down every pass thrown his way. Assuming that Glennon is an upgrade over Barkley, and some combination of White, Wright and Wheaton are an upgrade over Bellamy, the offense could be decidedly mediocre. It's not a ringing endorsement, but it's not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 There is a pretty good chance it is mediocre/bad, but I don't think it's crazy to think there is at least an outside chance that it is fairly decent(decent being a step above mediocre). Everything has to go right though. White has to be the guy we hoped for. Meredith has to build on what he did last year. Wheaton has to be that breakout player everyone thought he was gonna be last year. Wright has to get back to where he was last time he and Dowell Loggains were together. I don't think it's crazy to think 2 of those happen. It's a boom or bust offense. The optimist in me is gonna wait and see which one happens.

Soxfest Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Bears signed NT John Jenkins, formerly of the Seahawks, to a one-year contract. Jenkins was expected to meet with the Colts after his visit with the Bears but saw everything he needed to see in Chicago. The 27-year-old fared poorly over 217 snaps for the Seahawks and Saints last season. Related: Seahawks Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Here is a thought, just slap me hard in the face once you are done reading, is it possible the Bears could actually trade for Brady with the number 3 and then some? The Pats have always been proactive and it would immediately legitimize the Bears team. I know, slap me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was after. LOL Seriously, if the Pats truly believe that Jimmy G is the next big thing and they usually have the balls to make the boldest of moves, trading Brady now might make some sense. But I am sure if they made him available the bidding would become outrageous. At least I didnt get slapped. Although I dont think its THAT far fetched of an idea as it sounds on first impression.

If Brady played all 16 games last year he likely wins MVP. He was the super bowl MVP. He's the greatest QB of all time. If the Patriots were to trade him and Garappalo doesn't lead them to multiple super bowls in the short term they would get absolutely killed by the fans and media.

Dude went from a Div 1-AA QB to being an undrafted free agent, to being a holder, to being a back up QB, to being a starter for the Dallas Cowboys earning 127 million in contract money (not including endorsements), banging hot blondes all over town, to the #1 broadcast team for CBS.
