You need to control your players for their own welfare and the team as a coach.
Brian Urlacher blaming Russell Wilson for ending his career?

Bah. Urlacher is a football player. He never sat out of 1st team preseason snaps, why would he ever sit out of a real game, even if there is not chance for playoffs? The idea is just silly.

Silly? Why do teams keep players out of meaningless games before playoffs ( including BU in 2005). How wise was it for NE to play Wes Welker in the 2009 finale? Torn ACL and no playoffs. Please expand on why it would have been silly to have your aging veteran sit out the last quarter of a meaningless season ending game? And it really isn't hindsight as I think it would have been wise even if he wasn't injured. I see zero advantage and only potential harm( unfortunately realized) to having a 10 year vet with previous leg injuries playing with 5 minutes to go in a lost season.

Do you have a link you could provide for us by any chance? When I first posted this I only saw the written quote and it was very hard to tell whether he was joking or not.

No shit. But for whatever reason, some people have to try and demonize every word the best player the Bears have had in the last decade has to say. It's as if they can't wait for him to badmouth the Bears so they can justify the fact they hate his choice to retire rather than play for 1 mil guaranteed.

Should they just bench all the starters every losing season? Where does this logic end?
Urlacher got hurt cause Wright blew him up. Thats the issue. Telling starters they can't play the last game before they don't get to play for 8 months is just silly.

But this has NOTHING to do with bad mouthing the Bears, this would have to do with badmouthing Wilson if he was being serious about it.

Agreed and its not like Minny came out with a set play saying "This is the play we hurt Urlacher on." Injuries are going to happen in football and thats why they call them accidents.

I agree with you to a point. Urlacher was paid for 16 game seasons and the fans who showed up paid for a regular season game, not the 4th preseason game where they see "auditions".
That said, Urlacher should have been inactive. Or at least pulled after the first defensive series. The head coach should treat that as a bonus preseason game.
That is how I would have handled it, but I don't have NFL teams asking me to interview for head coaching positions, so take it for what it's worth.

Funny shit. Its true too.
I was in LA watching that game. When he got hurt, I said to my friend that was the last time I would ever see him play. Sadly I was correct.

Lovie Smith ended his career by not taking him out of a meaningless game against the Vikings and evaluating some of our younger guys at that position just to win the game

Whoever posted that article was a douchebag. Glad he’s moved on from CCS.
