Chisoxfn Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 07:48 AM) I think bears should pay Alshon, still. May even be blessing in disguise. I agree with you. This should actually lower his pricetag and I think having him as a safety net for a young QB is an asset worth paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the roster is filled with guys who are gonna get paid and you might have salary cap issues. You have money to spend, and Alshon is a proven talent, despite his few shortcomings.

Kyyle23 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 John Feinstein just said on his sport minute that if you are busted for PEDs once it should be a full year suspension and a second failed test should be banishment from the NFL. I really can't stand that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) Who is ready for the Bears to sign Tony Romo in the offseason? I think it's going to happen. He has the EIU connection with Pace. I'd take 2 years of Romo while they develop a young QB. They could still take a young QB high. I think it makes sense because they have another draft and close to $80 million in cap space. A few additions in the secondary and this could be a top 5 unit on defense. They will some win now pieces so starting Romo would be fine. They just need a QB in the pipeline. Some have argued that it's no different than keeping Cutler but I disagree. Romo is better. I've been a Cutler supporter for a long time but it's time for both parties to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be crazy for me to hope that Fox is coach next year just so we can keep Fangio? I think our defense is going to be what brings us back to being competitive one day and I really don't think there is a better guy for that.

I think we will make a push too and I am absolutely okay with it as long as we bring in that developmental QB. I also am absolutely okay giving up a second and a future pick for a Jimmy G or maybe seeing if the Patriots are interested in getting Brady a receiver like Alshon in a package for Jimmy G. I am skeptical about using a top 5 pick on a QB in this years draft (not sure what is out there) but we clearly have an immediate need to make a change. If we thought Tony was healthy, I'd absolutely make that move (but we can't ignore finding a young QB to develop under him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main gripe with Fox has been his handling of injuries. His game day stuff I knew would be case, and he promoted from within and this time it burned him. But I still think he has eye for coaching talent. Jim Bob Cooter was on our list for QB coach but went to lions. We could have went Gase -> Cooter and been much better off.

I'm not at all ready to kick Fox to the curb. I want continuity and Fox has shown he is a more then capable coach with a good eye for talent when it comes to assistants. A lot of games to go but I think we are seeing our defense improve a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm thinking Romo may have a Kurt Warner-esque resurgence with another team. Couple injury plagued years and then one magical injury free year where he is Romo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple injury plagued years and then one magical injury free year where he is Romo again. I think we are headed in the direction of having a really good defense. I've seen flashes despite having a lousy secondary (CB's and safety). We still have some needs, but I've also seen a lot out of our younger defensive players.

Rowand44 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 That's an insane asking price but I wouldn't be completely shocked if they get in the ballpark of it. I think you'd be nuts to give up anywhere near that for a back up coming out of that system but there are crazy gm's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It's gotta be a hard decision, when seeing poor performers like Brock Osweiler hit FA and make paydirt. The right team in right circumstances could pull that trigger if their team is largely established with QB holding them back (jets?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) I could see them getting a late first round pick plus a future second round pick. I don't see them getting two first rounders. I don't know if they would get the late second and a future first either, but definitely possible.
