🏈 🏈 The Official Chicago Bears Thread Presented By GM Ryan and HC Matt 🏈 🏈

jplarson · 03-11-2022, 06:19 PM

No not that Ryan and Matt.... the other Ryan and Matt! By popular request let's talk about the Chicago Bears! Fans and haters are equally welcome.

So far we've begun the Pace/Nagy purge by cutting Tarik Cohen and Eddie Goldman and trading away Khalil Mack. As a fan I love Akiem Hicks and wish the Bears would resign him but hopefully he and Robinson get some good deals in FA and bring us some comp picks for 2023 (assuming we don't sign too many FAs).

Coming up in the draft we have the 2-39, 2-48, 3-71, 5-148, 5-150, and 6-185 picks. We could trade up but knowing the depth of the 2022 draft class I think we should grab some quality day 2 guys could become starters right out the gate.

Chicago looking to sign former Cleveland and Cincinnati DT Larry Ogunjobi to a rumored 3-year, $40.5m deal with $26m guaranteed. Nothing can be official until the 16th.

Most delusional fanbase there is

I was hoping to see if Mack would go back to his old self in Matt Eberflus's 4-3 D. Guess we wont find out.

I love Hicks & Cohen, both as a players and as a Human beings. But they were downright stealing from the team the past couple of years. Just not worth the money.

Same goes for A-Rob & Goldman.

While we are now in good position going forward, as far as the cap goes. Its just a matter if Poles thinks we are in full on rebuild mode (stock draft picks, don't sign bigger free agents) or, if he actually wants to build a team now IE Bring in Juju to replace Robinson. Bobby Wagner to replace Mack ETC

Hicks was going downhill since 2018. Larry Ogunjobi is an upgrade right there. But certainly not a splash signing.

So far, they haven't done much of anything, outside of locking up some of their lesser known RFAs

I wouldn't mind getting Patterson back. He showed he still had value with the Falcons.

Yeah Packers fans are pretty crazy too. Maybe it’s the NFC North minus the Lions. They are the only ones that know what’s up

Easy to know what's up from the bottom of the division.

Bears won't be doing much business until they get a real quarterback. Bustin Fields is soooo bad.

Don’t think we know yet. I like to see 3 years worth first. Not everyone comes out strong their rookie year.

I think that is why they have to do business. They wont know what they have in Fields, until they make some moves to see if he's any good.

The kid started 10 games last year, and was sacked 36 times. Thats a lot, for what should be a mobile QB. Bears need to address the lines.

Allen Robinson only started 11 games, and he barely showed up for those he played. Only 400 yards on the season, and a single TD

Mooney played well, but doesn't look like a #1. Behind those 2, you had Goodwin and Byrd with like 300 yards and a single TD each. Bears need to address WRs.

If you bring in talent, and Fields still isn't producing, then you know where the problem is.

And dont forget the Buddy Ryan coached players, that went on to become Head Coaches in the NFL

DB Jeff Fisher
LB Ron Rivera
LB Leslie Frazier
LB Mike Singletary

Honorable mention
LB Brian Cabral – Head Coach, University of Colorado
DT Steve McMichael - Head Coach, Chicago Slaughter

You get a lot of millage, when a team has produced so much.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some '85 Bears and have a reasonable amount of collectibles from that team, though I'd love more! But if we're gonna be accused of being delusional about anything, however misguided, let it be for something worthy of it.

In other news, Pittsburgh dips into the former Bears draft picks well yet again. They signed former 2018 2nd round pick OG/C James Daniels to a 3-year, $26.5m deal.

Maybe you and I watched different games/film. Fields showed plenty of talent and has the character to be a top QB. If anything its the Bears that need to show they can support Fields with the right system and players around him to flourish. His talent is real.

There is a ton of potential in Fields - the Ohio State fan (and Fields fan) in me hopes that Matt Nagy & their putrid offensive line didn't ruin him last year (but the Packers fan in me doesn't feel the same way).

This year will be a big one for his development, I'm excited to see what Getsy can do for him.

I don't think bragging on the 1985 Bears, arguably one of the greatest teams to ever play according to many polls online, makes Bears fans delusional.

Neither is saying the Bears have sent the most players to Hall, then any other team. There is pride to be had as a Bears fan, without delusional thinking.

Delusional is posting a thread claiming your team to be the Super Bowl Champs 2 years from now (Chargers fans) or thinking if you keep throwing money at Rodgers, he will somehow be better than a .500 playoff QB.

jplarson · 03-15-2022, 10:07 PM

Bears will be signing former Packer C/OG Lucas Patrick to a two-year, $8-million deal with $4 million fully guaranteed in year one.

Seems like a low cost, low risk add to provide some depth and push for snaps.

Yeah, I am sure new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy weighed in on that one. Not an upgrade over James Daniels, but 2 years at 8MIL VS the Steelers paying JD $27MIL over 3, is a nice savings for more pieces to be added.

Grid · 03-16-2022, 07:39 AM

Still no big splashes being made.

Bears to sign LB Nicholas Morrow of the Raiders.

I had to google who he was. He was out all of last year, but he had 78 total tackles with three sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 11 games in 2020
