Does the replace Leno crowd also want to replace Bryce Callahan and Adrian Amos?
Both are late round picks or udfa that are playing well, but they were not drafted high so they should be replaced.
Who has said they want Leno replaced? I want to have options. I want to anticipate Leno looking more like a 7th round pick than a franchise LT, so in case he goes back to looking like a 7th round pick, we have options. Same goes for Callahan. Both of those guys need to have competition for their jobs next year because they got them by competing with trash players. Leno beat out Jordan Mills, who is on his 3rd team this season. Callahan beat out McManis, who proved he can't play CB in the NFL. Amos was a 5th round pick, who was a 3rd round talent according to some. He did win the job vs. a trash player (Vereen), but he has performed very consistently for all 11 games.
Best case scenario is Leno and Callahan continuing to get better and being huge draft/UDFA steals. But that shouldn't mean the Bears just leave them alone and only give them backup level talent, because for all we know, they could be backup level talent themselves.
The Lovie era is marred by the team hitting on some later picks and then trying to essentially build a team that way. Too much time was spent on 4th or later round picks who simply weren't good enough for long enough. And the Bears missed on early picks or traded them away and it set this franchise in the wrong direction.
