Poles: Monty is coming back

Bears GM Ryan Poles Wants RB David Montgomery To Return

We tackled the stock Bears running back David Montgomery holds as he heads into free agency about a month ago. …

Smokescreen or honesty?

Behind only quarterback Justin Herbert, Montgomery was second on the team in rushing yards, leading all running backs in Chicago.

I would understand the move, but it would be very uninspiring. He's good at the things Herbert is bad at (pass blocking, pass catching), but he's just so damn slow and non-explosive as a runner.

If he's back, they need to feature Herbert more in the offense next season and have Montgomery in there as more of a 3rd down back.

I would have no problem with this move if the price was right. I think he’s a solid back. You could do a lot worse than Monty. Plus he’s probably the fastest Rb in the league.

I thought he finished higher than Khalil Fields too. Shows what I know...

meh. I feel like he can be easily replaced by a RB in rounds 3-4, if we went that route. What he brings to the table isn't rare.

Nah, you're thinking of Justin Mack.

seems to me he actually wants him. And I bet a big part of it is for culture and leadership.

Mont played hard all the way to the end. Harder than prob anyone else except maybe Fields even when they're down three scores and still running the ball

 

[Armyhawk]

I’d prefer they keep him if they can for 6-8 per year. Ton of money that they have to spend and would rather them use picks on something else.

Monty also said goodbye on instagram before the last game lol. Whether that was just passo aggro or ‘negotiation tactics’ I DON’T LIKE IT

If Herbert doesn’t improve his hands or his blocking, they need to move on from him as well. He can’t block and can’t catch.

Why would David Montgomery want to stay on the Bears is a better question.

Get back in your fucking hole

 

[Dumpster Fire]

We’re pretty unhappy with our #1 and #2 RBs for the top rushing offense in the NFL, hehe.

 

[Da Coach]

If it's for the same money would you want Monty or a guy like Donte Forman?

Wut!?

@dentfan What do you think bears should do?

[mecha]

he's probably the team's most talented wide receiver. so ponder that for a moment. treat him like a receiver that happens to run the ball hard and you'll have your justification for keeping him.

 

[Starion]

Why waste a draft pick for a need that's actually filled? Get a C in the 3rd instead of a replacement RB.
A decent FA C will be more $$ than Monty most likely.


+ Nobody deserves a re-tooled OL more than Monty.


...except Justin Fields.
