Beasley needs to get vaccinated so he can play.im very high on Knox at tight end, and Beasley is one of the better slot receivers in the game.

The crap turf at SF is a great point if you're trying to be a turf team.Bears need to stop copycatting the league and be what they really are. Strong defense, run the ball, and control TOP. Get beef block on the OL and let Fields use play action to his advantage. The problem the Bears have had ever since Trestman was here is trying to become a turf team playing on the worst field in the NFL. If they are going to build a new stadium and ditch SF, the conversation changes, but until then play to your strengths. Going against the grain does have its benefits too.
If you're talking about results of strong D, run the ball and control TOP in last 7 years as being the Bears I don't think they've done that at all, Nagy never even tried to run the ball or control TOP in my mind, D was above average though.Strong defense, run the ball and control TOP has led to 7 winning seasons this century, 0 playoff wins in 12 years, and domination by the Packers......who by the way play on a crappy field as well, in crappier weather and have no problems with throwing the ball all around that sh*thole of a stadium they have.
Bump this can't argue at all.It’s a passing league…you are never going to win the SB anymore without a strong passing game. First we need an OL that can protect the QB. You don’t know if any of these guys can pass block. It’s a passing league.
We need a coach that can scheme to help the OL out. When was the last time the Bears made a team pay for blitzing, like the Packers have done consistently for the last 30 years? How many blitzes did the Bears pick up this year? Not very many. This stuff is BASIC. You need to be able to run screens with you RB’s. When you have certain packages in, you can’t run the same damned play every time. You can’t audible to the same damned play every time. You’ve got a good running game, use it to work in play action, it’s not illegal to do that. And how about having an outlet receiver in place that’s actually open…and not taking horrible sacks…and fixing errors instead of them showing up again and again throughout the season.
Ok, I’m still pissed at Nagy, but the offense was completely incompetent in every way but running ….and points off that for no PA. So much is on Nagy you don’t really know what you have.????
To answer the question, I like DM, but he’s not a number one. You have to address that in FA, as well as at least one OL. Then draft OL or CB with your second round pick, whichever is better. Draft a QB, that should happen every year. Implement a competent modern NFL passing attack. You’ll never win the SB until you do.
I don't think that we're underestimating it, I think chemistry has a lot to do with it too. And was why I was so disappointed in Arob this year.
Look at Rodgers in GB. He has a patchwork oline but a top tier wr. The bears need a big bonafide stud wr asap. there are many examples of guys with bad olines who get it done at a high level with top tier talent at the skill positions. Robinson is not a top tier wr. Hes a solid #2Every one of the greats had a favorite receiver when they were young, so yes, WR is very much a position of need.
All you need to do is look at Cincy. The "experts" were suggesting they draft a LT for Burrow, but instead, they get Chase for him and look at what happened.
So many busts are drafted yearly. Rare to get a Chase or Julio early on the draft.Being that rookie WR’s are often performing like vets right out of the gate these days, I don’t know if I’d pay premium FA prices for the position.
Can't afford the WRs in free agency that are on Diggs' level. Nobody in this draft is as good as Jamar Chase, and even the guys that might be close will be long gone by the 39th pick.
Also, really last year is the only time an absolutely loaded WR corps won a Superbowl, and they had the goat at QB.
Agree.I would say nobody in the next 10 years might be the prospect of chase haha he’s so good. But a guy like Elijah Moore from last draft, or potentially Garrett Wilson, these can be game changing talents.
im just sooo tired of this team not prioritizing skill talent. It’s been like 7 years since a truly game changing receiver played here. Once A Rob leaves, the Bears might have the worst collection of offensive talent (outside QB) in the league.
Yeah, I'd target WR in the 2nd (though, I wouldn't hate OL at 39) and then again in the 1st next year. You can find good WRs later in the draft, but you can only find elite WR talent early in the draft.I would say nobody in the next 10 years might be the prospect of chase haha he’s so good.

The same can be said of every single position drafted.So many busts are drafted yearly. Rare to get a Chase or Julio early on the draft.
Let me have my damn moment man ?The same can be said of every single position drafted.
Well in that case Woah! Thats a hell of an observation none of us had even considered. Brilliant. ?Let me have my damn moment man ?
On spotrac, Godwin's estimated yearly contract value is $18m. Kirk's is $12m. Gesecki $11m. Say you back load and pay $20m for those guys in 2022 - half the average yearly value each which is really pushing it back. Then the Bears have about $20-23m for 23 or so more guys who count against the cap. Even if you make a few cuts, you've got basically nothing left but minimum deals for the entire rest of the roster.I actually think we have about a two year window with our pass rushers.
I'd restructure their deals (Mack and Quinn and GOldman), to free up about 20 million.
Load up on Wide Receiver: Chris Godwin (his injury was not as bad as iniitially thought). Resign Grant, promote Newsome, and see if we can also get Christian Kirk.
Godwin
Mooney
Kirk
Newsome
Grant
Late round draft pick
Then at Tight End, we need to accept that Kmet is more inline receiver than a dynamic one. I've always like Mike Gesecki from Miami and thought he was vastly underutilized there. Sign him and allow Kmet to be Jason Witten and Gesecki to be the field mismatch guy.
Yes, all this can be done with our cap situation.
My numbers say we would have nearly 30 million after those contracts. You can cut Danny and Graham and Dalton and save about 13 million. The cap situation next year is very fluid.On spotrac, Godwin's estimated yearly contract value is $18m. Kirk's is $12m. Gesecki $11m.
