Move over Koren Robinson....

Harry Teinowitz says this guy is going to rescue the Bears offense.

He's got the toughness, intestinal fortitude and savvy wherewithal to be a big time playmaker for the Bears!

Maybe they can go after Harry's 'other guy' between Koren Robinson and now Brandon Lloyd - ANTONIO BRYANT!!

Rex would never get the ball that close to Lloyd.

At least this would be something different to watch.

The Bears WRs last year would let the ball actually hit them in the hands or chest then drop it...

Factually speaking they actually weren't that bad. Then again, when they have so FEW opportunities - the drops stand out.

Berrian had 128 targets, 71 receptions, 4 drops
of course the 'drop' stat doesn't include cutting routes short, or alligator armin' an attempt.

Drops by player (not percent of drops):

Drops by team:

Desmond Clark led the Bears in drops - tied in the league with... MARTY BOOKER OF MIAMI (AHHHH!!!!!!)

1t Dallas Clark Ind 12
1t Braylon Edwards Cle 12
3t Reggie Bush NO 10
3t Devery Henderson NO 10
3t Santana Moss Was 10
3t Terrell Owens Dal 10
7t Randy Moss NE 9
7t Brian Westbrook Phi 9
9t Brandon Jacobs NYG 8

9t Shaun McDonald Det 8
9t Steve Smith Car 8

When you consider HOW much the Bears passed, the fact that they rank higher than Indy and New England in drops is pretty pathetic:

3 Chicago Bears 40
4 Indianapolis Colts 38
5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35
6 Cleveland Browns 33

10 Detroit Lions 30
11 St. Louis Rams 30
12 Kansas City Chiefs 29
13 Miami Dolphins 29
14 Arizona Cardinals 29
15 Washington Redskins 29
16 Atlanta Falcons 28
17 Dallas Cowboys 27
18 Minnesota Vikings 27
19 Philadelphia Eagles 26

How many passing attempts did the Bears have? I bet their #of drops per pass attempt is higher than most teams.

So really - drop the ball more and win the Super Bowl - as the Giants were by far the worst in percentage of drops (fewer attempts than both the Bears and New Orleans - with more drops).
