Isn't it awesome that the Bears seem to want to emulate the Washington Redskins?

Trade away all your draft picks. Sign big free agents to deals that will be albatrosses as time goes on.

Take a look at the model franchises in the NFL. Unless they can absolutely steal a player(Moss from Oakland) they aren't playing fantasy football when it comes to running an organization. In fact, most of them let overpriced aging free agents walk and replace them through the draft or trade them away if they can swindle another team(the Raiders).

The best thing to happen to this team would be trading away anyone they can for draft picks and not picking up a single player through trade.

The problem with Marshall is that if we were setting odds on the next player in the NFL to do something that ends up costing him a season or more out of the league Marshall would be the favorite.

The no risk option is to bring in Terrell Owens. If Cutler is half as good as some people believe he'd turn Owens back into a pro bowler for the cost of a few million dollars and no draft picks.

Just because he sucked with a terrible offensive fit in Buffalo and dueling inept QB's doesn't mean that he is done all together.

I don't agree entirely with this post, but that is and will always be the fan mentality to pretend-GM play. SIGN EVERYONE! MORE MONEY! It doesn't work.

Everyone makes fun of Dan Snyder, and then they propose to do exactly the same thing.

I think it's a stretch to say that fans wanting the Bears to make common sense signings is the same as Snyder overpaying for some good and mediocre players. Smart fans want the Bears to fill holes wisely the same way the Saints did last season. To suggest that the Bears should trade good players for unknown picks is football stupid. That is just as dumb as overpaying for a mediocre player.

Bears fan mentality. Football fan mentality, I guess.

Oh, meatball mentality?

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Spaulding · **Posted:** Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:11 pm

I don't want another DT. They have about 50 of them. No Peppers.

They do need line men. Maybe a WR or better RB. I don't think that but see the argument.

Why is it your always above this stuff? Stastically how are they doing? What should they do?

Irish Boy · **Posted:** Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:13 pm

We can quibble about doing some of those things. The point is that the Bears can't do everything and sign everyone. And if somehow they could, it would be a really shitty idea (see: Redskins).

I said smart fans. You decided to paint all fans as meatballs. This only represents your view of Bears fans and it is wrong.

You gotta quote the original posters otherwise it looks like you just made these up.
I know #5 was your post, but who posted the rest?

http://score670.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=43421 Unlike you, I can fulfill the John Kirk rule. And while I said they should go after Peppers, I don't believe I ever said that they should make him the highest paid defender in the history of the NFL.

Fair enough. I think a representative sampling of the posts over the past two months bear this out. And if they don't here, troll around the Sun Times or Tribune comment sections sometime. You'll feel like you need a shower. Or some marinara sauce.

I dont even know what the JK rule is or means...but that doesn't matter to me.
While Peppers may not become the highest paid defender in the history of the NFL, paying a lazy player who plays when he feels like it $10 million per year is a poor investment. So I imagine the Bears are seriously considering signing him.

I will assume that Kujoe was drunk when he made the post that you cited. Geez...

I'm worried this still may be true. He does seem to have calmed down some though.

I don't think it's dumb stupid. Still want OL and WRs. We won'.t know how it would have worked out.
