The Bears Den - 3/3/09

 

Bear_s-den_medium

 

Oh, look!  The Bears still haven't done a thing, so I have more outside the Den news than I do inside.

In the Den 

I know that thinking about these kind of deals is worthless and even if he was offered we don't have stones to pull it off or the pieces to offer, but it is still fun to think about a QB with the arm of Jay Cutler in Chicago.

Now that he-who-shall-not-be-named is out as the most pessimistic journalist in Chicago sports, someone has to fill the throne.  Any takers?

In the  Vicinity of the Den 

Lovie Smith is this year's special guest and honorary chair at Care to Cure spring benefit in New Orleans.

Butkus_medium 

Nowhere Near the Den 

Of course the big news is the free agent signing of TJ Houshmandzadeh.  He signed with the Seahawks on a deal worth over 40 million.

New mock draft.  It has the Bears taking a name you don't see attached to them very often.  What do you think?

Tampa Bay has signed free agent running back Derrick Ward.

Do you have an article, picture or a random Bears related item? Send it to us for use in a future Bears Den!

TJ

$40 Large.

Wow.

Good for him.

I love the guy, but there’s a lot of guaranteed money in that deal for a guy his age.

Excellent choice of photo!

In the absence of Bears-related hawt women wearing not a huge amount, the next best thing must surely be photographs of beloved Bears past and present. Sweetness ought to be on a heavier rotation because… well, if we needed to give a reason, we wouldn’t be Bears fans!

Rosenbloom is right

i love this team, but management is garbage.

You're absolutely right...

…that was the one sentence I completely agreed with.

Do I like him as a journalist? No. Anyone can be constantly negative. But when you’re talking about the Bears management, you’re bound to be right once in a while.

what's the point

of explaing that anyone can be constantly negative when its just easy to be constantly positive? all that matters in any of this is if the person is right. and when it comes to being “right” about the bears, negative is the way to go.

by mike b on Mar 3, 2009 10:21 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Very true

My point in saying what I did was that always being negative will turn some of your readers against you (such as Mariotti or Rosenbloom, to an extent). Sometimes the Bears do something positive….all I wish is that journalists would tell it like it is, both good and bad.

I'M A MAN! I'M 22!

Yeah

And we have a right to be critical….my own personal opinion is that we should take the good with the bad. Right now, there’s nothing good to sing management’s praises. There hasn’t been in quite some time. But, if Jerry does something good, then commend him for it.

Problem is, that won’t happen either.

constantly negative

eh… it is sad to say but there is absolutely nothing to be positive about with these Bears (if you tell me they are “close” i will reach through your monitor and slap you). drafting Forte in the 2nd last year in the 2nd doesn’t cut it either.

JA and Ted Phillips must be taken to task and someone in the media is finally doing it. I prefer honest negativity to bullshit.

Absolutely

We’re not close….we need to fill a lot of holes. I’m not Ruben Brown; I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid yet. Maybe if Jerry gets his head out of the sand for the draft….we’ll see.

I prefer honest reporting. Period. If it’s negative, fine. But sometimes, there’s no need to be positive. For instance, what about after the Colts game last year? I realize Peyton wasn’t in top form, but we did go to their place and beat them.

Then what the hell does “then you need to root for someone else” mean? I can say the Bears suck because it’s a fact. Great point by Mike B by the way. I refuse to lick this teams taint because I’m supposed to get behind them when the going gets tough.

This team does exactly enough to put a mediocre team out there that can have a 11 win season if the ball bounces their way on Sundays or a 5 win season if it doesn’t. Until they revamp their front office and get personel in there that knows how to put together a good football team year in and year out, they can kiss my ass.

I just have to ask….
If the Bears win the Superbowl are you going to lick their taint then? And if so is it a collective taint or a bunch of separate ones???

If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

Not saying you have to fawn over a team but you shouldnt always see the gloomyness of the franchise.

by scespy12 on Mar 3, 2009 12:54 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Why not?

In my lifetime, there has been 2 Bears’ teams that I thought could win the Superbowl, the 88 Bears and the 06 Bears. That’s 2 teams in the past 20 odd years that I was excited about. 88 Bears because I was 8 and didn’t know any better and the 06 Bears because of that D and Hester.

The Bears have missed the boat. They had their chance in 06 and instead of making that team better, they sat on their ass during free agency and wasted valuable draft picks on players they don’t even use. Now, the D is getting older, the offense is still pathetic, and special teams has gone down hill. What should I be optimistic about?

by McRipper on Mar 3, 2009 1:10 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Look

I’m sure you’ve all put money in this team in some sort of nature, so gloat or praise this team all you want, however you want. that’s what makes the bears the best football team in the world. it would suck if EVERYBODY Jeered this team, the same if EVERYBODY has a pollyanna approach to this team.

which is all I wanted. I felt the same way after the Colts game….extremely happy, but once that wore off, I wondered if it would translate out. Most of the journalists responded like you said.

by ChiFan13 on Mar 3, 2009 11:06 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That's the problem

Lovie and his coaching staff seem to “rest on their laurels.” The team has a little success (Colts game), but they don’t make changes or adapt creatively to keep their opponents off-guard. It usually takes Lovie at least a half of the year to make changes to his philosophy or his beliefs.

as for the mock draft

Britton doesn’t cut it for me as a ROT at this point of his career. Hes a very good prospect at LOT – even quicker and faster than Chris Williams. I know the Bears have preferred quicker OL players, but they need to add someone who can open more holes for the RB,; and especially push the line of scrimmage in short yardage plays. I think Loadholt in the 2nd round would be a good choice. As for QB Josh Freeman in the 2nd: it does seem to make sense to take the 3rd rated QB if available(not likely) at #49. His strong arm passes would not be affected by the wind as much, and he’s a big, physical prospect.

College football has adapted to a running QB offense across the nation.. Year before Pryor he took them to the Championship. Not sure on his stats that year, but I believe they where pretty good.. An with Pryor taking the starting job it hurt him in this years draft.. He is def. worth lookin at in rnds 3-5!! Not to mention he’s played in cold and windy conditions his entire career!

by ~sweetness~ on Mar 3, 2009 12:05 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Unless Boeckman greatly improves

his speed/footwork, he will not come close to succeeding in the NFL. He is incredibly immobile, and takes a very long time in his dropbacks and in scanning the field. He had the luxury of having a very strong OLine, and with the Buckeyes’ pretty easy schedule year after year, Boeckman never had to consistantly face speedy pass rushers. And when he did, he got nailed.

He wouldn’t be able to come into the NFL and start, but I believe he would be a great prospect to sit for a year and work on his speed,footwork, etc. and then give him a shot at the starting spot next season.

Todd Boeckman 6'5 244lb 5th yr senior = this years QB sleeper!!!

by ~sweetness~ on Mar 3, 2009 12:21 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That would be high hopes

for any rookie QB, even the good ones, to sit a year then start the next. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more, QBs being thrust into starting positions way before they are ready.

Imo, it takes 2-3 years for a QB to study the NFL system and speed before he is ready to succeed… even the good ones. For every Matt Ryan, you have 10 Vince Youngs.

I think it would take way longer for Todd B to get ready, if ever. I may be eating my words in 2 years, but I just don’t see him ever being able to do much with the speed of NFL players.

It would have been good to see him perform at the combine, but he wasn’t even invited. We’ll see what happens at OSU’s pro day I guess…

One last thought...

You are correct… a ton of successful NFL Qbs are/were not fast…

But Boeckman isn’t just “not fast”… the dude is just plain slow.

I’m not picking on you here, so sorry if it seems like I am… and like I said, I may end up eating my words. Todd B has a great skill set for a QB, and good size. It’s just the stonefeet that scares me about him.

Palko and Smith have not been, and probably will never be, starters. Garcia has been, but isn’t anymore. Seneca Wallace is a backup. Thigpen is now a backup. Brunell hasn’t started since 2006.
