What do you want to see this offseason?
As I did toward the end of last summer, I will be writing front-page posts on a variety of topics. Pre-draft, I can write for days on prospects. The problem is 1) that I can find hundreds of topics to write about and 2) once the draft is over, we'll need something to fill the void. I don't want to do a full biography and quantitatively analyze each current Bears player; first, because that would put both you and I to sleep, and second, Jerry's advocating "change" within the roster.
So, I need your help. Yes, you, the active poster. Yes, you, the rare poster. Yes, you, the non-member reader. Every single person that is involved in WCG is some way, this post is for you.
What do you want stories written about?
For example, here were some topics I had thought about thus far:
1) Great Moments in Bears History (topics include: the Super Bowl season; top receiving/rushing/passing yards/whatever stat in a game/season; Chicago Bears who hold NFL records, etc.)
2) The Bears HOF Tournament (similar to the March Madness tournament bracket). Essentially, I would draft a post detailing all the accomplishments of the HOF Chicago Bears and you all would rank them. Once we have the initial ranking, we would play it out through the rankings to determine WCG's HOF rankings.
3) Detailing the early history of the Chicago Bears. I bet that some on here know how we came to be, but I'd be willing to bet that some don't, either.
Those were just thoughts I had to keep myself entertained before 2nd semester starts. Bottom line: I want your thoughts on what should be written! It makes my life easier and you get to read topics that are of interest to you.
So....whaddya want to see?

Ideas
Coming up on the draft, how about posts about who you wanted the Bears to pick other than the guy the picked. For example, when Urlacher was drafted, I really wanted the Bears to draft Plaxico Burress.

So did Mark Hatley...
Thank god the Steelers saved the day for us.

Really?
I don’t know, Burress sure has aged better than Urlacher.

Urlacher was the face of our franchise... the #1 selling jersey in the NFL...
NFL defensive rookie of the year… NFL defensive player of the year… and 6-time Pro-Bowler.
Now… don’t make me smack you.

Well considering he had a bad run-in with a couple bullets, self-induced
it looks like Urlacher was a better pick

Ah, like in 2006
when I wanted the bears to grab Chad Johnson, the receiver from UF (Don’t quote me). That was a big oopsie on my part.
I like it.

Where are they now
How about a “where are they now” for former Bears… people like Fencik or Gault or Dent or Tomczack, etc…

I love interviews. I know they take some work, but it is worth it.
Coordinators, position coaches, players, front office, agents, radio personalities, grounds keepers, anyone. I would love to see this blog start to form some connections. Maybe one guy could lead to some other interviews. If you land one, I would ask if he could get you a couple more interviews or contacts or let you use his name to land another interview.
Kick it to me... I'm open!

I did interview David Haugh at the beginning of the season
but that was through email, so it wasn’t as great as I wanted it. I’m planning on contacting him and seeing if he’d be interested in a phone interview. If so, you guys will definitely be the first to know.
But yeah, I’m definitely planning on contacting some players for interviews (Briggs, Forte, etc.). If I have to drive six hours to Chicago to do it, so be it.

Years of Bears Tournament
A way to decide who sits beneath the 85 bears as the second best bears team in history (or maybe a tournament to face the 85 bears). take the top bears teams from history and put them in a bracket with people voting each week as to who would win each head to head match up.

All-Time Teams
The all-time best bears player at each position, I know this is played out, but it always leads to some good discussions. It should be immediately followed by the all time worst bears players or better yet worst draft picks of all time at each position. Creating an all-time worst team would be hysterical and the collective bears brains on this site would be able to pull out some names that some of us probably haven’t thought of in years, like say … The kick returning Guard Leon Johnson or handless fast-guy Dez White.

This is a likely. Chi and I have talked about it
the big issue is nobody really knows or can properly quantify this. How do we compare a Bill George to a Brian Urlacher?
We might have to fudge it a little and take what is written as fact.
