sort of like they had last season where they went 10-6?
I'm willing to wager having to rock a Lions signature of your choosing for an entire year should the Lions have a better record than the Bears. That's how confident I am that they won't "sleepwalk" their way to anything.
and in one of those 3 losses they got smoked by the Lions on MNF. But seriously are we going to play the "if's" and "but's" game?
With Cutler taking seven step drops behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league. No more Martz, no more seven step drops. Addition by subtraction.
Oh, wait, are we forgetting the game (later in the season, I might add) where the Bears mauled the Lions by
twenty four points?
Jason Campbell? Oh boy.....
Better than Caleb Hanie.
LOL Like Cedric Benson? or Tank Johnson? or Aaron Gibson? or....
Three examples over the course of nearly a decade? Congratulations. Guys respond to Lovie Smith's style of coaching, it's an opinion that's well held around the league. That's why guys like Peppers join in Free Agency, because he knows how to treat men like men.
Of course it's relevant, he's gotten himself booted off of two different teams already, despite as you say, continuing to produce to an extent on the field. The guy is human trash. He has a diagnosed personality disorder. He hits women repeatedly, take a look at his rap sheet on Wikipedia. It doesnt matter if the Bears have a "strong lockerroom" or whatever other BS that sportswriters try to make up to romanticize the game.
Booted off two different teams? McDaniels gutted the Broncos. That's not on Brandon regardless of his off the field problems, if you want to defend McDaniels go ahead, I doubt the Broncos fans will join you.
Show me exactly how he was toxic in Miami? Because him being traded has more to do with Jeff Ireland being an idiot than anything. If you've caught a Dolphins preseason game or watched Hard Knocks, you'd bet he'd take Marshall back in a heartbeat.
Guy has a repeated pattern of behavior over the course of his career, not exactly going out on a limb to say it's going to crop up again at some point. Hell he got arrested like 2 weeks after getting traded to the Bears so it's not like these things are in his distant past. That's far less of a stretch than thinking that the old men Urlacher (who's already hurt again BTW) and Briggs are going to scare him straight.
The guy has had problems, that I concede. But he's getting the help he needs now and, personally, I'm not the type of person that's going to write a guy off for the things he's done whilst struggling with mental health issues. He's admitted he has a problem, is receiving help for it and is surrounded by people he's comfortable with for the first time in a long time in Bates and Jay.
If he's every going to stick to the straight and narrow, it'll be now. But all we can do is wait and see.
The Bears will go nowhere of importance until Jay Cutler can get more than 1 second in the pocket. That Oline is just terrible.
If he got them to 7-3 taking seven step drops behind them last season, I'm confident he'll do better now that he's taking shorter drops and Martz isn't making the calls.
I swear, sometimes it sounds like he's having a seizure on live television.
but no srsly, he is getting cut or traded. Garrard seems to be coming back and Delvin ain't gonna get cut or anything...soooo...
come back to the Panthers Moore. Clausen can get cut. Best 3rd string QB eveeeeeeeeeeeeer.
