I know that Rashied Davis is a running gag within the confines of Windy City Gridiron but let's find out what you really think about him. It is reported that Davis is set to return to the slot this season and with Cutler as our QB you could assume that he might have a very productive season. But on the other hand this is Rashied Davis we are talking about and he hasn't been the most reliable of Bears' receivers. So I had an idea to start " The Rashied Davis 2009 Stat Contest" which is a contest that shall prove who on Windy City Gridiron was right about their opinions about Rashied Davis. Heres how the game works:
1. Each participant shall make an estimate on how many TOTAL YARDS and TOUCHDOWNS Rashied Davis receives for the entire 2009 regular season.
2. At the end of the regular season, we find the WCG participant who came closest to or guessed the exact amount of TOTAL YARDS and TOUCHDOWNS he received in 2009.
3. That WCG participant is named the winner and is given the title of "The Rashied MindFreak"
I know the end of the season is very far away from now but I thought it would be an interesting contest and I'd just like to see how many total yards and touchdowns everyone thought he would accumulate through the season. Should make for some interesting discussion until we crown a winner so WCG don't lose this post. Good Luck.

Rashied had 7 drops last season. Tied for 8th in the NFC.
I’m sticking with 5.

8 drops!!!!!!
then how many do you think he’ll have in the second half of game one???

I'm gonna say..
717 Yds/ 5 TDs
5 drops

did anyone on this yrs team get 700yds?
that would be awesome if RD were to get that much – imagine what hester/olsen would have
What if he's cut
Do we put the game on hold to see if he gets picked up by the USFL or do we just say good riddance?
589yds/4 TDs
9 drops
Post Stick-um application
1000+ yds/10TDs
1 drop – then someone applies the Stick-um to his gloves for him (Just Kidding- Dont want you guys having to waste time posting how illegal it is to use the stuff)

0 catches
56 drops
-1 td
When I played I was a triple threat.... Stumble.... Fumble.....Grumble....

Penalized a touchdown!

0 yards, 0 catches
0 drops.
He’ll be traded before the season starts for a conditional draft pick after the bears sign plax.
your too nice
lol i wish we could trade him i honestly dont see him on the field against GB in week one i think if we can sign the plax man we drop him like hot cakes if no one wants him.
with plax we get a huge target and increased secuirty on away games =)

if he stays somehow.....
id sayyyy
432 yrds, 3tds
call it 6 drops
by Bear Lovin 21 on Jun 8, 2009 8:30 AM CDT up reply actions
I am terrible at these kind of things...
but I’m going to guess:
298 yds/1 TD
4 drops
"A lot of fans were drawn to me because they knew that whatever the score was, I was going to run as hard as I could on every play. You don't have that now, you have guys waiting for next week or even next year." - Walter Payton
the only drop I care about
is when they drop him from the roster
by BearFan611 on Jun 4, 2009 9:15 PM CDT reply actions 4 recs
427 yds 2 TD's 7 Drops
And 4 of his springing celebrations
(Asshole Sr) "If you learn one thing here, NEVER pass out in Ohio."
This is kinda funny
Everyone wants to be so optimistic they are given decent numbers.
I say he only plays in the first 2 games before he is replaced by Knox.
@ GB- 3 catches for 35 yards 0 drops
Pitt- 4 catches for 53 yards with 2 fumbles 2 drops in the first half, replaced by Knox in the second half.

1st place wins an official Rashied Davis dropped game ball
And as much as I hate it, I don’t think he’s going anywhere this year. We have only have two WR’s who’ve ever caught a pass in the NFL, and he’s one of them. I say 33 rec. for 379 with 1 score, and my computer broke trying to add up the drops so I’ll skip it.

NICELY PLAYED!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
329 yards, 3 TDs, 5 drops
I dont expect him to go into 700 yards or 6-7 TDs but positive imagination is a good thing… Trust me, he wont get more than 400 yards or 3 TDs.
Im not throwing out anynumbers,
but Im gonna go out on a limb and say he is gonna suprise some people this year. Hes not gonna be great, maybe not even good, but i think he is going to have a couple nice td’s and drops will go down alot.

I am feeling guilty for being so critical of Rashied
so I thought that in the interest of fairness I would take the time to list some of his good qualities.
1. You never have to worry about him losing playing time to “flu-like symptoms” because he can’t catch that either.
2. He never gets into long arguments with teammates because all the other person has to say is “Rashied, drop it!” and, like magic, the disagreement is over.
3. He is very thick skinned, in fact, you can hurl insults at him or call him names but everything just seems to bounce off his chest.
4. Other guys on the team never have to worry about Rashied stealing any of their stuff since he would drop it when he was trying to run any way.
5. No embarrassing TV shots of him on the sidelines playing “pocket pool” since his hands rarely make contact with any balls for too long.
See, I knew if I thought about long enough I could find the good in him.
Now, regarding this subject I’m going to drop it…..I, mean you won’t catch me talking about it again….oops, Sorry!
Every time I think I’m out….Rashied pulls me back in!

well done good sir...
oh yah, and uhhhhhhh…. WRECKED!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Plus, everytime Rashied drops a ball, an angel gets their wings.
By the way, another non-mention of Davis by the organization when talking of which receivers could have impact this year.

They're realistic stats
but probably still a stretch. We’ll see… if Hester starts drawing some double teams, there’s not telling what Jay may be able to make happen

I hope Knox plays this season because he is doing better than Iglesias so far in OTA's
even though I understand its just OTA’s. I cant wait till training camp and the season.
914yds, 4TDs
tying his career numbers… yes, i said it… CAREER!!! there is no reason why he should make this team!!! he’s a slot receiver who was bumped up, and couldn’t handle the promotion… i don’t blame him for that, he’s built for the slot… BUT, his body of work to date doesn’t warrant a spot, IMHO… in his entire career, he WAS most productive for us in KR, and…..well….umm…. i think we got that part of the game covered now!!! so, since i have the extra time on my hands, without further ado:
2006 – 16GP 22CAT 303YD 2TD 32KR 753YD 0TD
2007 – 16GP 17CAT 165YD 0TD 12KR 168YD 0TD
2008 – 16GP 35CAT 445YD 2TD 1KR 10YD 0TD
notice in particular, the #s from last year…
2.19 catches per game 12.71yds per catch 0.333333333 TD per game
over 85 WRs in the league had his avg YPC or better… see where i’m going with this??? if we can’t pick up that production by a rookie alone, never-the-less bennett, then MY head should be evaluated for not wanting him on the team!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
I'm putting this out there.
374yds 3td’s 7 drops
One of his catches is one that gets lodged in his face mask.
Because as far as we're concerned, there is still no team in the history of the NFL that could beat the '85 Bears.
If only Jay Cutler were stronger
He could just impale Rashied and he wouldnt have to use his hands.
435 yards 3 tds 4 drops
!
I'll give him Devins stats from last year but a few more TD's.
51 rec. 665 yds. 6 td’s.
Passion For The Game, Loyal To The Name, Chicago Bears, I Trust In Thee, Standing Strong Since 1983.
I'm surprised.
Very modest prediction from you.

Rashied bounces back
Rashied Davis will return to the clutch possession receiver from the slot that he was in our super bowl run. My prediction is he will have 52 catches 680 yards and 4 Touchdowns.

Pump Your Brakes Kid
I do have opinions just like you. Im right a lot more than I am wrong so I guess well have to wait and see JerBear, but don’t ridicule me for an OPINION cause thats all it is. Sports are about DEBATE if you want to do it maturely LET ME KNOW…
DON'T TAKE IT TO THE HEAD!!!
it WAS a funny comment… trust me, there WILL be those times, but this one isn’t one of them… have some fun… that’s all MOST of us are tryin to do here!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yea but I see alot of jabs that are unneccesary
Im not about the name calling stuff, I was referred to this website by a good longtime friend and fellow Bears fan PolishSausage.Ditka.Bears. , Im a huge Bears fan myself as we all are, and he told me to come to this website. He even helped me sign on because I have such an archaic brain when it comes to computers, I’ll admit Im new to this blogging game, as you can see by my First Post, I have since learned you cant just say anything it has to be worth writing for. But it was on my mind and I wanted to get my feet wet so I wrote it but trust me I regret it. But the reason I never blogged before was because I would read some bloggers debate on other websites without being a member just to get a gauge on how other fans felt and all I saw was childish banter (seemed like little kids swapping one liners at each other showing pride for X team). But P.S.D.B insisted I come to this cite because we get into heated insightful debates all the time about the Bears. And he said this was the BEST website for exactly that. If you want to debate thats one thing but Im not getting into childish name calling after every opinion or prediction I make however outlandish they might be. I dont know you and you dont know me, thats how I look at it. I wouldnt call YOU MRS ANYTHING. I didnt appreciate it so I let JerBear know and Im glad your having fun windycity72 but thats not what I would consider constructive criticism. You wont have to worry about “THOSE TIMES” with me. I will be respectful to each and every person on this website trust me on that. I apologize for coming off like a real asshole but once there is some kind of a rapport with said fellow blogger then maybe something like that would be more acceptable.
It was a joke!!!
Lighten up a little, nay a lot.
He wasn’t calling you a name to be offensive. You were one of the few to say something positive about Rashied, so he was inferring from your comment that his wife had joined our site to defend him. Not childish, not offensive, not disrespectful – a joke. You will have plenty of time to get into intellectual debates with fellow bears fans, just don’t be so uptight over the little things. Am I really expected to have a “rapport” with everyone I joke with on a BLOG site? Really? Roll up the sleeves, un-tuck the shirt and grab a beer, it’s the off-season!
Oh, and welcome to the WCG! (Tempchad, would you like to chime in?)

He thought you were calling him Mrs. Davis
if you read it again it’s not easy to distinguish between that and what you said you meant. He was reluctant to blog at first so give him a break that a one of his few posts got a negative response that looked like he was getting insulted. He’s a very intelligent Bears fan and you and everyone will enjoy blogging with him. I like making jokes with the regulars too he’s just gotta get used to how everyone rolls on WCG.

My comment was made in jest
It was not meant to be a personal attack, nor was it a shot at your masculinity. Smudgers assessment was correct. As I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, there are a few players that tend to get peoples hackles up on this site. Davis is obviously one of them. All I was saying was that by your generous prediction, you must be related to Rashied.
There is a lot of good discussion and debate on this site. You typically won’t find the juvenile keyboard-warrior bullshit on here like you find on yahoo or most other sites, but there is a lot of back-and forth on here amongst us. Rarely is any of it malicious.

I know that is true for sure and I hear you. Just a misunderstanding.

I just got back from a wedding and Im really drunk
I apologize Ive already made enemies with people Ive never met, JerBear this is done I no longer care about this stupid argument. Im not above being made fun of, and I get that, but Im new here and its an adjustment period, its alot different when you debate with someone face to face. Im not used to the back and forthness of this site, I dont see myself blogging that way personally but Im just trying to get my feet wet. So I say we all move on. I didnt mean for this to turn into a whole site debate. But you know the Rashied beef with everyone is a little overplayed. I saw everyone gush over Mike Brown who never won one playoff game with us and was ALWAYS hurt and then turn around and hate on Davis who made the most clutch catch of the postseason against the Seahawks in our playoff run and last year made that clutch catch against the Falcons before the defense screwed it up. Davis did have an under par year last year but to call him a failure or to say he sucks is pushing it a little. Remember last year against the Packers on Monday Night Football he pushed that guy right into the football on special teams to muff the punt and that single handedly kept us in the game and in playoff contention. That shows heart, even when he was struggling on offense, he got the job done on special teams. So to say he can excel in a lesser role on offense this year is not out of the question. Someones gotta get the ball and if Hesters getting double teamed why not it be Davis. Back to my Jack and Cokes.
Already forgotten man.
No worries.

assuming he doesnt get cut then
12 catches for 125 yds 1 td 7 drops zero starts
if he gets cut and picked up by an UFL or whatever other league is present AND Grossman is throwing the ball to him…..3 drops 22 catches 500 yards 8tds
i do believe that knox will be our slot guy if bennet/hester are our 2 and 1 and then the ok rookie for our no 3.
Bring back our honey bears...sick and tired of hearing about the dallas cowboy cheerleaders and the bars they go work at when they quit. cold weather + cheerleaders in skimpy outfits = lots of fun
He will
have 5 catches, 1 TD and 3 drops for Chicago
then 2 catches, 0TD and 1 drop for Cleveland
then 13 catches, 0TDs and 4 drops for Dallas, then…
he probably will also intercept a ball, that is how backwards he is.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
Cowboys won't sign him
He might suck, but he’s not enough of an asshole to interest Dallas.

Inflated predictions
I’d say:
37 catches
410 yards
3 TDs
4 drops

Only 4 drops?
Is he getting cut before the first quarter is over at the first game in Green Bay?
Because as far as we're concerned, there is still no team in the history of the NFL that could beat the '85 Bears.

if he can put up 410YDS in the first quarter at green bay...
then i’d think twice about cutting him!!! i’m just sayin…

When I think Rasheid I don’t really think of what he can catch. Although I’m sure he’s STD free.

Had 7 last season,
and that was one awful year for him. I think going back to the slot will help him with his concentration.

Does anyone know why he was taken from the slot last season?
I’m sure he played it some of the time but we had Hester, Booker, and Lloyd why would he need to be taken out of the slot?
