The Bears Den - Nicks, Cutler and Orton

by Adam T on Mar 18, 2009 7:41 AM CDT

In the Den

John Shoop compares Hakeem Nicks to Muhsin Muhammad. Seriously. I
can't make this stuff up. In other news, I no longer endorse Hakeem
Nicks.

Vaughn McClure discusses what we should do about the line now that JSC left.

So does Brad Biggs.

Dan Pompei explains why the Bears haven't been FA players.

Somebody agrees with Jerry Angelo.

Do the Bears have a shot of either of the 1st round QBs, if they wanted them?

The Bears sent the big dog of our scouting department yesterday to see Hakeem Nicks workout.

The Bears invited safeties Glenn Earl and Curome Cox and linebacker Tim McGarigle to participate in mini-camp. In other news, the Bears still don't have any safeties.

Kevin Seifert does more rambling on what the Bears did and didn't do.

David Haugh wonders if Kyle Orton has blinders on. Good thing he does otherwise we might have a situation like Denver has and we don't want that type of player...wait,what?

I'll leave this one to you to make any needed comments.

Hate to be the guy behind this one on a sunny day.

In the Den #1

Did you really just let something John Shoop said affect your judgement?

Are you not affected?

I mean, this is John friggin Shoop, man of no offense. So in my book, when he says something’s good, you run like hell in the opposite direction.

Shoop needs to shut his Friggin trap

I had enough of him. i hope him and Dustin Lyman get stranded on an uncharted island so he’ll have lots of time to practice his third and 23 rituals.

Actually

I found Shoop to be far more inconsistent than “He’s always wrong”
I’d say he has no clue, which means he could occasionally be right, rather than wrong.

I think if we knew that Nicks was going to be a young Moose Muhammand (on the field), that would probably warrant taking him where he grades out (mid to late first). There are so many bust WRs taken in the first 2 rounds, someone like Moose would probably warrant a first round pick.

John Shoop is an idiot. He also didn’t exaclty gush about Nicks. “He did fine. They all did fine”.

DEJESUS!!!

Balogh is

6’6" and 303 lbs. If he puts on 15 lbs of muscle he could be useful.

Just because John shoop

endorses Nicks doesn’t mean everybody needs to think the opposite because of his reputation. I have a real good feeling about Nicks and he’s who I hope the Bears pick up over Hayward-Bey. He’s got great hands and is a great route runner. He’ll actually catch the ball when it’s thrown to him. (I’m looking at you Rasheed!)

I'm pretty all above comments

were pretty much jokes.

Moose

was actually good when he was young. You can’t compare someone who is 22 to an aging WR who is over the hill. The Bears desperately need a big, possession type receiver who’ll make the big catch over the middle, etc.

Shoop Diss = +1

Secondly, Nicks would be more than fine by me, that is, if DHB is off the board at 18, however I bet Nicks is higher on JAs list since he is convinced Hester is a true number 1.

Secondly, that article on the chrome Mercedes is all wrong: A) Not the fastest car in the world, probably not even top 10. B) Guys in the middle east have been making fully chrome cars for a few years now.
