WindyCity Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Give him 4-6 games and everyone move on a grow from this. He will have been more than sufficiently punished at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damikeeeee Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I love this idea. This is the worst of the 3 incidents they're looking into right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incident 2 is a fight at a bar that his buddy got into and he jumped in. Incident 3 is punching a guy at a resort that he got into it with. Dude needs anger management, obviously.

Incident 3 the alleged "victim" never identified hunt, or accused him of anything. Media has said that an unnamed witness said Hunt punched a guy. Of course it will all be held against Hunt, bc that's what the media wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topwop1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If Bears want to win a SB anytime soon then they have to take some chances on signing talented players that will come with a bit of media scrutiny due to off the field troubles, ala Kareem Hunt. It appears that they have built a solid enough foundation in that locker room that adding someone like Hunt will have more of a positive impact than negative since he would have the full support of the head coach and starting QB most importantly. Bears experienced a little bit of success in 2018 going 12-4 and winning the division. They can't just sit on their hands now and expect to improve next year by re-singing of a few of the same guys they had last year and adding a few mid round draft picks to the mix. Go out and be aggressive, media and public scrutiny be damned. You only get so many windows and opportunities to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 “I think the important thing, as Matt pointed out,” McCaskey said, “is that he addresses his personal situation before worrying about football. I think that’s a demonstration of the kind of guy Matt is. He called him to have a non-football conversation because they had a player-coach relationship. I think that says a lot about Matt. He’s not just interested in these guys as football players. I think that’s one of the reasons the players respond to him so well.” McCaskey was emphatic in dismissing the notion that Hunt’s violence against a woman presents a special dynamic for the Bears, who are owned by a woman — his 96-year-old mother, Virginia. “This is a vexing social problem that everybody needs to be concerned about,” McCaskey said. “Violence by a man against a woman should offend everyone regardless of gender. But … she and I are like-minded. She entrusts me with this responsibility to make this assessment on behalf of ownership.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 On the Hoge and Jahns Podcast they were saying that Virginia may be a reason they sign Hunt. They said that George desperately wants to get his mother another Super Bowl before she passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they look at each case separately and I really, really hope Nagy goes to bat for this kid AND Hunt doesn't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malagabears Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Really like the "Human side" of Nagy reaching out to Hunt as a person. I think that has to win over Hunt because someone out actually took the time and effort just to talk to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there would be any need to win Hunt over...the opportunity to get back into the scheme that made him a star and a 2nd chance would be enough...it's all about ownership for this.

He isn't coming on some steep discount because Nagy made a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
