Ya know those chickens that can play tic tac toe and rural county fairs?

Can we get one of them to draft for us?

If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

We need the Octopus from the World Cup!!!

I think the octopus died

Maybe Jerry could throw darts at the wall? We just have to take all the DL’s off the wall first.

by mike b on Feb 12, 2011 11:16 PM CST up reply actions

Yes, but could it jump out of a pool?

waddle

made a comment the packers are more likely to win another supwerbowl in the next 3 years than the bears are to make one.

with this dumbass at the controls, i have no doubt he is right.

by mike b on Feb 12, 2011 4:57 PM CST reply actions

Waddle is wrong, If the Bears get the job done this offseason we have as much shot as the Packers

Also dont forget now that the Packers are reigning champs they can expect their competition to kick their level of play up a notch. Every team loves to say they beat the reigning champs and the Pack will have to play superbowl level play every week next year. No one gives the reigning champs an easy win, its just part of the DNA of the NFL.

If we take care of our business with the right FA’s, Draft picks, and roster cuts we have a fighting chance. Now with JA at the controls it could go either way. I thought the Fantuz signing showed he has reconized the problems at least at wideout and that is a good sign of what is to come this offseason.

As for Pool jumper and iglesias I have no idea what JA saw in them, both of them never impressed me, not for one play. We could have used those two picks panning out, we cant have any of this crap this offseason.

White Sox fans need not apply.

JA

hes in control remember he doesn’t think logicly

by chiguy8506 on Feb 12, 2011 7:14 PM CST up reply actions

any more big draft booboos

and it is probably a given that the bears will struggle to keep pace with the pack and maybe even the improving lions. no more crap is right man.

i am still pulling for the pipe dream of signing sidney rice.

by reefermadness3 on Feb 12, 2011 7:26 PM CST up reply actions

yes

If the Bears get the job done this offseason

if. they routinely do not. for a bears playoff run all it took this year was the bears having unprecedented good health and a wealth of breaks. the packers had neither and won the super bowl. the bears, as usual, folded.

by mike b on Feb 12, 2011 8:03 PM CST up reply actions

Agreed

Angelo is a dumbass. With him at the controls, this club is not on solid ground. Needless to say this year’s draft will be the biggest of Angelo’s career. If he screws up and we regress from the progress we made last year, then we need to get rid of him.

If he screws up … then we need to get rid of him.

As opposed to every other time he’s screwed up…

Not really a secret.

I have mixed feelings about Angelo picking Gilbert in the 3rd round of that draft

At the time, I know Mel Kiper had Gilbert as one of the best players left on the board – when our pick came up in the 3rd round of that draft. But he was a “tweener” (big for an end and small for a tackle) and didn’t he didn’t really seem to fit the 4-3 scheme. As far as Iglesius, if I remember correctly, a lot of people had projected him as a 2nd or 3rd rounder, so he definitely wasn’t considered a reach.

It just seems like there’s a disconnect somewhere – between Angelo, the scouts and the coaches. Maybe we’re not developing players and helping them make the steps through the system – after they’re brought in.

by JimmyMack on Feb 13, 2011 10:22 AM CST reply actions

Maybe the problem is that teams all get their scouting reports from the same pool.

Not the one that Jarron Gilbert jumped out of. Also, successful teams seem to draft players at the position they played in college, whereas the Bears seem to think they can convert players to a new position, and that experience playing a position doesn’t count for much.

It seems, especially in the early rounds, that teams pick from the consensus best player available. It’s rare that a team invests much in a personal scouting staff any more, certainly less so than in baseball. Also, there’s too much reliance and emphasis on the measurables.

by BigGeorgeTX on Feb 13, 2011 2:02 PM CST reply actions

Why are you pushing this video at us...

It’s old news at best, the Bears have drafted hundreds of players like that over the past 90 years. Maybe Papa Bear should have stayed with the Yankees and let the Cardinals rule Chicago football.
