bmags Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) Yeah so take a QB who will have no RG or LT. His #1 will be an unproven rookie WR. His starting RB will be Jeremy Langford. His team won't have any inside LB's, CB's, rush LB's aside from McPhee, or a starting FS. It'll be great. The team will look a lot different than this year's Because when you draft a great QB you only get them for 1 year. I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It'd be wise for the Bears to sell the farm. Young wants out? Great. I'd deal any and everybody, especially Martellus, Forte and Alshon. Wasn't a huge fan of Kevin White or trading Brandon Marshall in the first place from a football perspective, but I'd trade White if he had some value. Everyone must go.

Â I really didn't like the pick for the Bears when it was made. I thought it was pointless to trade Marshall, especially if you were going to draft White. And I also thought Cooper was much better and was the only WR in the draft who made sense for the Bears if they were going to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 You thought it was pointless to trade Marshall ESPECIALLY if they were going to draft White? Â Bears traded Marshall because they clearly wanted football players who were going to focus on getting the new system in place and not themselves. They did not trade him for 2015. They did not draft White for 2015. They drafted White because they thought he was a dynamic talent, and that he got hurt in the preseasona nd isn't immediately helping the team doesn't mean he is a bad pick any more than it makes Fowler a bad pick.

LittleHurt05 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Could the Art Briles Baylor 5 wide offense work in the NFL? I always figured the pro rosters were too talented top to bottom, so it was much harder to find a weakness. Teams have adopted the spread, but nowhere near that agressively.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 To further demonstrate the absurdity of Andy Reid, yesterday with the Chiefs down 14 points in the 4th quarter, on 4th down inside the 20 he kicked a FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) I'm just guessing here, but I believe it's because we kicked the Field Goal on a non-4th down play. If the kick had been blocked without passing the line of scrimmage, we'd get the ball back and potentially have time to kick another FG. 7 seconds could have run off during the kick and subsequent fight to recover the ball. But if we recovered with say 1 second left, it would be Bears ball still. And we could attempt another FG. Right, but if the kick were blocked and we recovered, there's a strong chance that we would lose 5-10 yards on the play, thus making it a 59-64 yard field goal. Which is why I still don't get why Fox didn't wait longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That offense is so easy that NFL teams would pick it apart. You really don't see many NFL players come from Baylor on offense because they can't read a defense or run routes properly. Â Someone asked draft scout Matt Miller last night if Bryce Petty is 1 to 2 years away to maybe play. Matt Miller said he's that far away from reading an NFL defense. Not all players are like that, but Baylor's system is so easy that you really don't need to think at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This win reinforces my belief that the Bears will draft the best talent available in the draft regardless of position and not risk taking a quarterback first overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I still don't get why Fox didn't wait longer. Once you attempt a FG even if it wasn't 4th down, if it's missed or blocked, you don't retain possession anyway. It made no sense. They were out of TO's so if it were a bad snap or something they were SOL anyway. I realize running one back afterward is a longshot, but why even give them a chance?

GoSox05 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I always thought he was overrated as a passer. He can still fly out of the pocket and pick up big gains, but I think teams have figured that out for the most part. Â His throwing now is downright awful. He threw about 4 or 5 balls right in the ground yesterday on about 6 yard passes. He also threw a couple out of bounds that missed the WR by about 10-15 yards. Â He tends to look down a WR and if that WR is covered or not he is throwing it. Â I think Jim Harbaugh got the best out of him. It also didn't hurt that the OL they used to have was probably the best in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
