torn about whether i want the bears to resign alshon only because the list of functioning bears wide receivers in my lifetime is basically him, marshall, like a year of curtis conway and superstar Marty Booker

I shouldn't be surprised since you guys never had a QB but this is a pretty sad list.

The franchise record for career receiving yards is just over 5k. 2 RBs in the top 10, 3 other guys listed as Left End or Flanker which means they played in the stone ages. And Ditka.

Alshon has the third-most receiving yards in bears history.

oh god if the Bears overpay for Glennon and make him the starter this will be a glorious few years

hahahahaha yes who can imagine the bears with an overpaid, inept quarterback

Glennon is like twice as inept as Rex Grossman, though, let alone Orton/Cutler.

What is it with the Bears and barely-not-terrible quarterbacks? It's pathological.

Bears struck bronze with Orton, so they are forgoing the neck beard and just going with neck.

there's like 5 good quarterbacks in the NFL at any given time and it's virtually impossible to find one

There's a ton of money and not that many free agents worth a drat, so I can understand money being ridiculous.

That said, I refuse to believe any Mike Glennon rumors because come the gently caress on, he lost a QB competition to Josh McCown.

Bears McCown may have been the best stretch of quarterbacking this lousy team has had.

Not good to get within range of brock's arms, smart play is to stand 15 yards away and dare him to hit you with a football

assuming that cutler inevitably is a jet, i can't decide if it is funnier if he sucks and is pilloried by the tabloids with cut puns or if he is just much, much better than glennon; it seems likely that both of these scenarios happen simultaneously

it's incredible to me that Cutler was so despised in Chicago that fans still hated him even after he lived out every single one of their dreams by telling Martz to go gently caress himself on live television

i love in all the talk about how the glennon deal is a savvy front-loaded contract that doesn't really hamstring them they forget about the fact that glennon completely sucks and will probably at most like 10% better than whatever vet min scrap heap guy they could pick up.

he's pretty good but he also missed almost all of last year and there are younger guys on the roster that fill the same role as him so he was expendable
