The Bears Den - 7/20/09

but last year the Bears had basically the same receivers and went 9-7, bringing in a pro-bowl QB will only help their production. When we went to the Super Bowl, we didn’t have a number 1 WR? And I’m tired off all this crap about how good Broncos receivers are, Brandon Marshall came into this league as a unheralded 4th round pick and Eddie Royal was a unheralded 2nd round pick, not exactly world beaters. And Driver needs to learn to shut up, one of the golden rules of professional athletes is to not insult your fellow athletes.

And on the defensive backfield look at it this way, I know players need to play for a defense to be good but we have talent back their and we also have great coaches, Jon Hoke is considered one of the better DB coaches in the NFL and when Lovie Smith was a defensive coordinator and position coach his specialty was DBs. I am of the opinion that you need to be put in the correct position to succeed and that these two guys can figure out that position.

There’s no guarantee that Hester will have better numbers than Driver. You may not like what he said, but his team philosophy is different because the Packers will not use a punt returner as their #1 guy. All dynasties may not have a pro bowl receiver, but they had great ones. Jay isn’t any different, he wanted Marshall because of his ability. Jay Cutler is not a savior, he is one player on a team. If you want maximum effort then pay for the rest of the pieces. There’s no way the Colts and Patriots are parting with their receivers unless they have another one.
All qbs want a #1 guy, that’s why Chad isn’t leaving Cincy-he’s a great player. so is Jennings. I wouldn’t use a punt returner as my #1 guy either. They can play the compliment role as needed, but not a primary role.

Jay is not a savior for the bears. He can only perform his job and that’s it. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady perform their jobs and they leave the rest to those receivers. They do their jobs well, that’s why their rivalry is so great.

There’s no need to be mad at Jennings for what he said…that’s not just his philosophy, but the nfl in general. Qbs want big time receivers and their all not the same. Marshall and Royal may not have been known to us, but Shanahan could tell they had ability that’s why he drafted them to pair with Jay.

Jennings is entitled to say whatever he likes…he’s not the only one that thinks that way. I don’t know of any team that created a dynasty that had a punt returner as their #1 guy.

was very informative.

 I especially liked Lynch, talking of how he didn’t care for the broncos making Cutler out to be a bad guy.
