GNU Order posted:FUN THREAD CHALLENGE I remember Pernell McPhee and Shea McClellin because they were the guys that Gronk was embarrassing over and over again last year. ... I think you also have that old Cowboys DT... Jay Ratliff right?

Wait wait, Pernell McPhee was the guy who they signed from the Ravens right? Damnit, I listen to way too much of the Grantland NFL podcast. Poor Robert Mays and his hapless Bears.

Crow_Robot posted:Why is the Bears' roster so empty of talent? Well, their first round pick is the guy who was to replace Brandon Marshall who they shipped out, but he's injured. Looking at (relevant) players from their drafts: 2014: 1- CB Kyle Fuller 2- DT Ego Ferguson 3- DT Will Sutton 4- CB BRock Vereen 2013: 1- G Kyle Long 2- LB JOnathan Bostic 4- LB Khaseem Greene 2012: 1- DE Shea McCLellin 2- WR ALshon Jeffery 3- DB Brandon Hardin 4- TE Evan Rodriguez 2011: 1- T Gabe Carimi 2- DT Stephen Paea 3- DB Chris Conte 2010: 3- DB Major Wright 4- DE Corey Wootton 2009: 3- DT Jarron Gilbert 3- WR Juaquin Iglesias 4- DE Henry Melton 4- DB DJ MOore So this should be the core of their team. 2009 and 10 first rounders were for Jay Cutler, which makes sense. And I don't recognize a lot of these guys (which tells you a lot right there), and basically it looks like they've thrown a ton of picks at trying to fix their OL, DL and secondary and not really hit on anywhere enough of those guys.

Fox was brought on to fix the defense, which is so devoid of talent it needs a few drafts worth of guys to fix. The offense was supposed to be what it was supposed to be last year. A good enough QB throwing to two good WR's, a really good running back and solid enough other weapons. But instead, both WR's are hurt, the QB got injured and the offense is hosed.
