southsider2k5 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Chicago Homer @TheChicagoHomer 28m FWIW, Pro Football Reference’s AV on Chris Conte last season was a 5. On MD Jennings it was a 5. So using that metric, they suck equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for him after coaching high school football 18 months ago. It will be interesting to see him go from Trestman to the offensive guru Lovie.

Dick Allen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) There are a few ways to look at losing McNown. The fact that he pretty much sucked before last year, so maybe the offense makes the QB and not the other way around, so it would make sense they can get a fill in just as good. Or maybe he was just fantastic last year and somehow found himself. Or maybe he was fantastic last year but it was a fluke and had he have stayed, his play would have dropped off to where he had been. 2 out of 3 are in the Bears favor, and they are the 2 that are most likely. You have to be happy for him though. He gets millions for a career that he probably figured was over a couple of years ago.

Dick Allen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) Here are some numbers for Bears new safety. Allowed 5 TD passes, 148.8 opposing passer rating. Defensed one pass. Zero INTs. So he's just like the old ones. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system and weapons he had made him the QB he was last year. He'll be back to a 70-80 rating QB with the Bucs.

bmags Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Re: MD Jennings, I think it is reassuring to think that we basically needed 2 deep at every position this year, so not every signing is going to be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have made the playoffs that year if McCown played after it was obvious that Hanie was just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I like the MD Jennings signing. I liked what little I saw of him in 2012. He was really bad last year, though. This is a one-year "prove it" deal with little risk on the Bears' end. I see no downside to hoping a change of scenery can do him some good. If not, we basically lose nothing.
