Slauson for HOF? No, that is just silly. However, Slauson is better than Larsen and is better than Ramirez was and he is better than every other backup on the team now. So, I'd love to still have him as he would be a starter at center as of the first exhibition game and would have solidified a line and needs assistance.

A starting OL just went out for the year and the bears allowed 7 sacks and ran for like .5 ypc in the first preseason game. You don't think Slauson is going to come up?

Don't be gay.
You don't think it could be that the pining for him had to do with his consistency and versatility?

Probable Bears record with Slauson. 6-10. Probable Bears record without Slauson 6-10(or 5-11). But the run stats would be better right?

So a sucky team with a good player should just get rid of that player because they'll be sucky either way?

He's a decent player. He isn't elite or some world beater. It would be nice to have him but would it really matter by next year?

Just to be clear, you think the Oline is better without him?
And if the answer is no, do you think the Oline is important to the offense?
Stop being obtuse.

I'm confused about how Slauson would've been a backup. with as terrible as the line is, so everyone says, he should vastly outplay everyone and be a starter.
what am I missing here?

The O line would be better but he's gone.

The team that can't win because of Cutler (your own words) can suddenly win because of Slauson??

Just to be clear, are the Slauson nuthuggers going to also be falling on swords next year if Cutler is released for a rookie QB? Because that is essentially what Pace and Fox did here.

The point to the whole thing is that Slauson is better than Larsen, is better than Ramirez was, and is better than EVERY other backup on the team. I don't give a rat's ass what the system is, you don't cut someone who is under contract, a team friendly one at that, when that player is better than every one of his alternatives. Every team will have injuries. Depth matters. With Slauson, he proved to be very capable last year playing out of position at C. He was insurance for Grasu (insurance that would have come into play before preseason even started) as well as for Whitehair and an injury to Long.
How's that new scheme at 1.3ypc with 7 sacks working out for us and the talent FoxPace has lined up there?
