February 4, 200422 yr He's not the kind of personality we need, or any team needs. level of talent is there..... very interesting to hear...
February 4, 200422 yr I think he'll be there in the 3rd round and this seems like a solid pick if he makes it into the draft. I sure hope the Bears could get him straightened out though. He definately has potential, but he'd also be very raw.
February 4, 200422 yr If Wilfork or Harris is available when da Bears hav their 1st round pick, they'd be stupid not to take em. They missed Ted Washington so much this year and a Big D-Lineman will alow Urlacher to make more plays. Clarett could definitely be an option with a 3rd rounder, although otha teams like da Boys could go afta him too if he's still available. It's definitely a good RB class this year.
February 5, 200422 yr Also just found this I wonder if this would hav happened if he signed with da Bears and not Arizona, Tempe, Arizona — Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Denny Green announces the termination of the final two yars of quarterback Jeff Blake’s three-year contract. “Josh McCown is our starting quarterback,” Green asserts, “so we felt it is in Jeff’s best interests to release him now to give him the opportunity to catch on with another team. “We've looked carefully at our quarterback situation and we feel Josh is going to be an outstanding quarterback. He has all the tools. He should excel in this quarterback-friendly system. Brad Johnson, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, and Daunte Culpepper all flourished in it.” Blake, 33, a 12-year veteran, leaves the Cardinals after posting a 3–10 record as a starter last season in his only campaign with the team. In the 13 contests, he completed 208 of 367 passes (.567) for 2,247 yards and 13 touchdowns with 15 interceptions. He also gained 177 yards rushing on 30 attempts with two touchdowns. Blake leaves Arizona with career statistics that include 1,805 pass completions in 3,195 attempts (.565) for 21,529 yards and 132 touchdowns with 95 interceptions, plus 414 rushes for 2,022 yards and 14 touchdowns. Before joining the Cardinals last season, Blake played for the N.Y. Jets (1992–93), Cincinnati Bengals (1994–99), New Orleans Saints (2000–01), and Baltimore Ravens (2002).
February 5, 200422 yr Why draft another RB when the Bears already have A-Train and Brock Forsey. The team already has serious deficiencies on both the defensive and offensive lines as well as a need for a new QB to back Grossman up so we don't have to rely on has-beens like Chris Chandler and Kordell Stewart who never was any good in the first place.

I third round pick on a possible STUD wouldnt be a waste.... AT and BF are not long term solutions. Wilfolk in the 1st - couldnt agree more.
February 5, 200422 yr They are talking about Clarett on ESPN's Outside the Lines. The whole gambling issue is a big deal in college sports. The NCAA is super strict about gambling. I have quite a few emails on gambling from the NCAA and Michigan State. Clarett knew what he was getting into if he had any relations with any gambling. It's a huge deal.
February 5, 200422 yr I thought i heard that Clarett was almost positive he was going back to the Buckeyes. And about him being very raw, i think he'd do pretty good in the NFL right now, i mean, he was a warrior as a freshman, and after all he's been through, im sure he's got the mentallity of a 5 year vet.

February 5, 200422 yr Are you people kidding about Clarret his body could not handle a full college season. If he does go into the NFL he will have a target on his back, he also has not played for a full calender year
February 5, 200422 yr I don't understand how he is eliglible for the draft - the ruling didn't make much sense to me. If this is the case, then CBAs seem to be almost meaningless.
February 5, 200422 yr This would be an ideal pick up for da bears... get some needed media attention as well... I dunno makes sense to me.
