Howard is cheaper and he has got a lot better at catching the ball. The restructuring makes me think a move is coming but I'm not sure what?...

How about NEITHER.

But theres a better chance Bell is a Bear next year than Howard. He isn't a fit...

Replace Howard in the draft and let him redshirt to learn the offense.

I'd rather extend guys like Cody Whitehair, Leonard Floyd, and Eddie Jackson than pay a RB big money.

Make your extend Howard mock offseason. This message board needs to bond together and it usually takes one of your shit threads to make it happen

While there does seem like a slim chance that Howard is still on the roster next season...its an even slimmer chance Bell gets signed here. We sure a shit can't afford to go into the season with Tarik as the feature back.

Really though. People need to come to the realization that the running game woes had way more to do with Nagy wanting the Bears to be a gap scheme over a zone scheme and the offensive line simply not being able to execute a gap blocking scheme.

Well, why go to a fine restaurant when you could just stick something in the microwave... Why go to the park and fly a kite when you could just pop a pill?

"Pop a pill?"

Why go to the dentist when Aliens put fingers in my bum?

How do you exactly redshirt an NFL player who's been starting for 3yrs?

By giving him limited playing time his rookie year and not taking everything so literally.

Which is weird with them keeping the entire oline intact.

Much to my chagrin. So Kyle Long plays like shit in the playoffs, can't block worth a shit and is injured three consecutive seasons...yet he is rewarded with another vote of confidence. IMO Pace has only made a few truly bad moves in his years here. Kyle Long and Robbie Gould are right at the top of that list.

I honestly think Nagy just need 3 versatile and shifty backs in his roster. That’s it. I think he doesn’t need a starter. Just whoever is up when he calls a play. That’s the way I see it.
