Chicago Bears All-Decade Offense: WR
This offseason, WCG is embarking on a series of posts highlighting the writers' choices for the All-Decade Team - 2000's Edition. So we poured over stats and anecdotes from the Bears teams of 2000 - 2009 and debated about the merits, or when discussing the QB's, lack of merits, of the Bears who played during that decade.
To begin, one of the most animated discussions was that of Wide Receiver. Our All-Decade WR's for the 2000's are...
1.) Marty Booker
This was really an easy selection. Booker played for the Bears for 5 seasons. In that time he led all Bears receivers with 310 receptions, 3,676 yards, and 22 touchdowns. His 3 touchdown game against Tampa Bay in 2001 was a thing of beauty. He had 100 receptions in 2001, and 97 in 2002. He also made the Pro-Bowl in 2002. That alone puts him as WR of the decade for the Bears. Here is Booker's amazing catch against Detroit last year, link.
2.) Muhsin Muhammad
In 3 seasons with the Bears, Moose compiled 164 catches for 2,183 yards & 12 touchdowns. He ranked 2nd, 3rd, & 3rd in those categories. What puts him in 2nd is that those numbers were accrued in only 3 seasons; plus he had a touchdown catch in the Super Bowl.
3.) Bernard Berrian
Berrian accumulated 150 catches (4th), 2,197 yards (2nd), and 13 touchdowns (2nd) in his 4 seasons as a Chicago Bear. A lethal deep threat, Berrian had 6 touchdowns in the 2006 Super Bowl season including 4 in the 1st 5 weeks of the season. (A special thanks for helping to fumble away the ViQueens' and Favre's Super Bowl opportunity).
Honorable Mention
Dez White played 4 seasons in the early 2000's for the Bears. He had 155 catches (3rd for the decade), 1,754 yards, and 8 touchdowns.
Devin Hester had 128 catches for 1,721 yards and 8 touchdowns as a WR from 2007-2009.

This has to be the most pathetic all decade group
in the history of the NFL…oh for Jeff Graham and Curtis Conway..
" Former Original WCG Power Poster!"
A whole lot of nothing
That’s what you come up with trying to find the best Bears receivers of the last decacde. In all fairness it’s hard to determine what you have in your receivers if you have the likes of Cade McNown, P.T Willis, Grossman and bunch of other third string talent QBs starting for you.
I read this headline... and I'm thinking.

What a pathetic All Decade list.
Maybe this decade will be better.

I feel pretty good about our current group
not saying any of them are great yet, but they look to have better potential than the last decade’s crew.
yawl want me to go there...
but I ain’t doin it.

Really, nothing...
I think I may have to try a bit harder. Comments from AP right after his release:
true but bradley seem the most consistent
At dropping the ball
Bradley was victimized by stone freaking hands.
he’s been a dissapointment the rest of his time in KC. Good riddance!
and my personal favorite:
Somewhere Bradley just signaled for a first down. Then his agent explained that, no, there’s still 10 yards to go. And you’re out of a job.

You are impenetrable...
or are you?!?
Mark Bradley was beat out for a roster spot by Rashied Davis! And speaking of over-rated, Mike Brown is the most over-rated player in the history of the NFL.
Wait for it… wait for it…

DEZ White?
he sucked, couldn’t catch and the guy showered with a lufa or whatever its called in the damn locker room! he’s not even a football player in my mind
what a list!
Now that Rice is doing so good for Minnesota and they have Harvin getting paid with some 1st round money, I wonder what the plan is for Berrian. That was a bad deal they signed him to

this says loads about the Bears offense
Booker played for the Bears for 5 seasons. In that time he led all Bears receivers with 310 receptions, 3,676 yards, and 22 touchdowns
christ that’s brutal.
Yup.
Fitzgerald: Last three seasons, 293 receptions, 3,932 yards, 35 TDs
Boldin: Last four seasons, 327 receptions, 4,118 yards, 28 TDs
Two players, from the same team, playing at the same time have better numbers in less years.

To be fair to Booker though:
1 of Booker’s 5 season’s was last year, where he only got 14 receptions. Booker also had the likes of McNown, Matthews, Miller, Chandler, Stewart, & Hutchinson as his starting QB’s from 2000-2003. Fitz & Boldin had some guy named Kurt Warner for most of theirs.
by Mike Mueller on Jan 25, 2010 1:27 PM CST up reply actions
Of course.
But he’s our top performing receiver of the decade. It is a bit sad.

I agree, it is sad.
Wait until the QB post, it’s worse.

The anticipation is killing me. ;)
At least we have the defense to look back on.

Since Rex will have to be (statistically at least) #1 it is definitely MUCH worse....
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Can someone cut booker a little slack?
while fitz and bolding have immense talent they also have a hall of famer throwing them the ball.
By the way 197 of his 310 catches were in two seasons and he was doing it with who? Jim Miller(love the guy but hes no Kurt Warner)
Chris Chandler???

hilarious
i like Dez White for honorable mention but what about Ahmed Merrit?!? STUD!
Don't even get me started on that one
We could of got Steve Smith or Plaxico Burress instead of David “Biggest waste of a draft pick ever Terrell”

Maybe a pro bowler in Madden, or at Tecmo Bowl.

Well yeah, how else do you determine a Pro Bowler...
Don’t forget Super Tecmo Bowl, it was like Tecmo Bowl but more Mark McGuire.
