Well not really news, I think it’s speculation but from espn insider – T.O. to the Bears? All I have to say is HELL NO.

If we don't trade for him is a fan post going to be put up

so we can argue about if we should make a move for him or not?

yeah

apparently people would rather look at lol cat pictures than discuss things. THANKS YAHOO BOARDS!

by mike b on Oct 13, 2009 10:05 AM CDT up reply actions  

You mean discuss things

like why receivers that were traded to another team and not ours? Discuss the comparison of Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler and who got the better part of the trade. Or is it you’d like to discuss how the QB makes the receiver or vise versa.

 Or how about we discuss how this season is going, what to look forward to in Atlanta and on down the road as the season progresses. I’ll discuss that all day. The rest of it is old. And I’m just waiting for the TO post to go up so I can read that, and be called a homer or a rube because I do or do not think we need TO.

Do you really use two names?

Just curious… as to why, if you do. And if you prefer not to answer, I understand…

Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I’m not questioning your powers of observation I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Evey Hammond: Oh, right…

jesus christ

no, there are just some people whose mental ability and social skills are so lacking or minute they can’t fathom more that one person disagreeing with them, or having a view point counter to their own. i would like to think the mongoloid army that has joined us from yahoo is actually just one person.

As a member of the mongoloid army, let me say

Thanks for keeping such an open mind and being able to fathom the opinions of others without grouping them all together in one massive conglomeration.

is a subset of the entire yahoo masses.

Can we trade for a Safety? A CB?

A DT? A monster guard? A real backup RB?

I’d say all of those would help us win more games than a WR.

Absofreakinlutely.

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

Just because it can be done on Madden NFL does not automatically make it a viable option in real life.

Feel like an idiot

but what does MSM stand for? Media something…

But it’s time everybody get over the “woah is me” nonsense.

I agree on everything this person said, but isn’t it “woe” is me?

whats wrong with upgrading the wr posistion?

T.O. Is better than what we have right now. We are going to have to score points to keep up in this division because I don’t really see our D shutting down the Viqueen twice this year. We will have to beat them at least once but most likely twice. If we can get T.O. 4 next to nothing, we should do it. As long as it is not our first(2nd rd.) Or second(3rd rd.) Pick I can’t see a good reason not to trade for him.

by Ryan21 on Oct 13, 2009 12:02 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

it would be like

selling our soul just to beat a team and win the division… T.O. is a locker room cancer.

by Da Sassage on Oct 13, 2009 12:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

if the argument against

was the bears d and o line aren’t good enough to win a title this year anyway i would be ok with that argument. but if anyone thinks this team is a wr away from winning it all they would have to go for this guy.

then again, all he has are stats, so really he must not be any good.

by mike b on Oct 13, 2009 12:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree

I think the Bears would be foolish to not upgrade the WR position. If you can upgrade any position, you would be foolish not to explore that.

That being said, I don’t really know if TO is an upgrade though. I don’t give a damn about his supposed “Locker room cancer” antics. Bottom line, that guy was a force on the football field. I just don’t think he’s a force anymore. He’s lost a step, he drops way too many passes and if the Bears did get him, it would be so they could have that possesion type WR and I don’t think you can trust TO to make that crucial 3rd down catch anymore. The Bears are fine on the speed WR, they lack a possesion type, not afraid to go over the middle WR. TO was once that, I just think he’s a shell of his former self at this point in his career.

by McRipper on Oct 13, 2009 12:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

he was good last year

You can’t judge him playing in buffalo. He wouldn’t be coming here to be our saviour. Just another piece of the machine. I think we will be playing our best football and firing on all cylinders towards the end of the season. I was disappointed that we didn’t get braylon edawards when he was traded. Our window is small until we build our O n D line up. A couple of late draft picks are worth the risk.

by Ryan21 on Oct 13, 2009 1:47 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

That's the key

What’s it going to cost? 2 late picks would work, if that’s the asking price. He drops a lot of passes. He also catches a lot of TDs. He’s worth the risk if it’s a cheap risk.

As long as he wouldn’t be the #1 target, I’m all for it. I think Bears’ fans will be disappointed expecting him to produce like he did in Dallas. He’s a year younger than Marvin Harrison and everybody said Harrison is too old. I think TO is starting to show his age a little bit. If he had sure hands, I’d be all for it. His hands are very suspect though.

by McRipper on Oct 13, 2009 1:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

Two quick points

First, I agree with Mike B. We’re by no means one player away from taking it all. We’re not even one player away from taking the division, and though I’m not completely sold on our WR’s, we have much bigger needs to address.
Second, we could have had him as a free agent in the off-season. Why would we want to trade for him now and give up much needed draft picks? Our receivers have performed better than most of us expected, so why would we choose to upgrade a position that is not our most pressing need in the middle of the season?
