Timby posted:I still can't believe the Bears are going to punt the best quarterback they've ever had out the door (especially when he has no guaranteed money left) just because Pace and Fox are sick of hearing Joe from Naperville rip into them on talk radio and desperately trying to save their jobs. They are punting him because Fox hates him. I'm not sure Pace feels the same way, but I suspect that Pace is going to give Fox Hoyer and enough rope to hang himself.

Abugadu posted:To be fair, they're not in a position to win right now, and Cutler isn't going to make a difference in that with the time in his career remaining. If you're going to rebuild, bite the bullet and rebuild. Give some younger guy a chance to improve or prove himself. I'm not sure this is true. The defense is poised to improve and they are letting their top flight WR go. They are cutting a QB they know can start, even though they have some offensive weapons. I think John Fox is a bad coach and a fraud. He wants to get rid of good players if they are not robots, because he is too big a baby to deal with opinions.

Athanatos posted:You make a change and get 2 years of "They just need time to grow with the team and learn the system." Free pass. Pace is safe, I think. He's had to rebuild a dumpster fire of a roster and shown improvement. Fox is the one who has to go at least .500 to save his job. And the man wants Hoyer as his quarterback, so I don't like his chances.

mastershakeman posted:I'm still not sure Pace has really hit on all that many picks, its just that there's a lot of new starters because they were starting over from scratch after a decade of horrific GMing. I think if is safe to say that he has produced four legitimate starters in the NFL at this point in Goldman, Floyd, Whitehair and Howard. I guess poo poo can still happen with them, but all of those players have shown they can play in the NFL. It's really a question of if the above players can reach the next level and a few more starters/role players start establishing themselves over the next couple years.

mastershakeman posted:Floyd could easily turn into a turd just like Fuller did, especially with the weird injury issues he's already had. Goldman is just a guy, the other two are pleasant surprises but are re-drafts of guys the year prior (Grasu, that bad rb from MSU) Goldman was showing more than being just a guy, although being hurt all last year, so who knows. Whitehair wasn't drafted to be a center, injuries and the one dude retiring thrust him into that role. And Langford is fine as a third down back. Just expecting him to be Forte was dumb. Being angry at sports is dumb if you do it all the time. I save my anger for special occasions, like Trestman"s second season. Otherwise, my rage is devalued.

Man, where is defiantgiant when you need him. That guy always had a reasonable approach.

mastershakeman posted:they had the second worst season in franchise history of close to 100 years and in response fired no one and got rid of the best qb in history then replaced him with a guy who's worse and makes a tiny bit less Firing people every other year is how you become the Browns or 49ers. Fox was never getting fired after two years, so this is a make or break year for him. They were in full rebuild and between Pace's first and second year, purged a lot of the veterans for youth.It sucks, but when you have no talent at the start, it's hard to build a competitive roster. GNU Order posted:Mike Glennon is a head scratcher but it's more despair over a decade's worth of chickens coming home to roost. The Bears are now arguably the most talent-poor roster in the NFL and good returns on one or two drafts is optimistic but isn't going to keep me from having to watch some really lovely football for the foreseeable future This is just silly. The 49ers and Browns are unquestionably worse. And there is not much you can do to avoid lovely Bears football over the next couple years, one way or the other. You just have to hope they are able to build from the ground up, so when it gets good, it stays good.

I think it is a calculated gamble while hedging with a mid round draft pick. What other options at QB did they have, knowing that Cutler is gone? I think they are hoping the unknown commodity pays off and if not, they will develop someone or maybe be more aggressive next year when Garrapolo / Cousins hit FA and have a stronger draft class to work with.

Deki posted:Would Bennett have really been on the table for you guys at near that price though? Green bay is more likely to get him another ring and he wasn't really happy with the Bears when he left. I mean I'm shocked we got him for cheaper than Cook. Maybe if we didn't trade him in the first place for having a personality that in no way impacted his play of the field, we could have. I mean, 3 years, $18.5 million is not that much more than 3 years, $18 million. I mean, would you pay half a million dollars to switch Dion Sims for Martellus Bennett?

Scipiotik posted:In a perfect world maybe, but what are the odds Pace and Fox will be around if they tank hard enough to get one of the top QBs next year? The Bears tend to be fairly patient. The Emery/Trestman stuff was the fastest they have given someone the hook and that was because it was a major embarrassment to the entire organization. Pace will get another coach, unless he really fucks up from a public relations standpoint, which I don't see happening.

mastershakeman posted:trying to save his job because next year is spent developing Mitch so you gotta give even more time than that I don't know why people think Pace is in danger. Fox is the guy who is in win now mode. The Bears are a very patient organization traditionally. They only fired Emery and Trestman because they were an embarrassment. GMs generally get two coaches. Especially when they have to completely gut a roster. Don't get me wrong, I am really disappointed in the pick, but you can't tell me this roster isn't significantly better than it was two years ago.

Not just Mariota. Last year, the Bears were supposedly high on Wentz. Someone also said last night that Jacksonville was looking at trading up. We know Cleveland was interested in trading up for Trubisky and were actually considering trading up. Now that I have had a night to sleep on it, I am not as annoyed. He wasn't my favorite, but I only watched a little tape of him. I've already said I like this QB class better than last years, and judging by the first round we just had, so did a lot of the NFL. I absolutely hate trading up, but I think there is a good chance the Bears trade down from two to get more picks tiday. And considering that this draft is supposed to be stacked on defense, maybe losing a third, but gaining an extra fourth this year by trading down will net the same level of quality. I also don't think the Bears believe they need as many players as their fan base does. They invested a lot of draft capital last year on defense. They probably expect a lot of that to yield a return this year. If they get Cam or Lamp in the second, I will end up feeling a lot better.

SKULL.GIF posted:I think the jury's still out on Trubisky as a quarterback but the jury is definitely not out on the trade being very very funny and Trubisky being a Packers and tittiess fan. Dowell Loggins isn't sexy enough for you?  I also don't think the Bears are that far away from being competitive. They have completely churned over the defensive roster with young, talented guys. The secondary will still have a bunch of second year players, of which hopefully a couple will be starter quality. On offense, they have invested in RB, OL and WR. The problem is they don't have a QB (or a TE). Also, they really need to upgrade LT.
