topwop1 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Agreed they are not good. Burton is not a #1 and Shaheen doesn't belong in this league which should have been evident before he was drafted seeing as he was a division II prospect. I will say that JP Holtz has been a nice signing mid season to help the running game out. He looks like a guy I would keep going forward, however they need to cut bait and move on from Shaheen next offseason. Good thing is that next year's FA class is pretty stacked at TE. Bears should be able to find a solid compliment to Burton and Holtz. Only reason I say Burton is because his contract makes it difficult to move on for next year otherwise I think he'd be a goner too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then watch him flourish with Brady and Belichick in NE. That would be a typical Bears move LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson Wentz automatically a terrible quarterback, then? Maybe its overreactionary but you should get my point. And Wentz played in the FCS which is a subdivision of Div 1 which is better than Div II. Shaheen was a massive reach in the 2nd round. The guy is not an NFL talent.

RJ_11 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Burton is definitely playing injured, absolute shell of what he was last season, I'd be more confident in him next season if he stays healthy all off-season. That being said, we still need to be looking at TE as a high priority in the draft, should be picking one up on day two if we can. Shaheen is god awful and needs to not be on the roster in 2020, absolute Kellen Davis v2.0. Holtz is actually doing a decent job as a FB so I don't mind keeping him around. But we are in desperate need of a new Y Tight End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but you said it was stupid to draft him since he was s D2 prospect. That's ridiculous and has no bearing on NFL success. I hated Shaheen since last year when everyone continued to tell me how he still had talent and athleticism and I was giving up on him too early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 They should cut Shaheen and bring up Raymond or Horsted. He is literally hurting them on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Remember when Ryan Pace was downright stand offish about Shaheen taking a big step in the offseason? #you know the rest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what I meant was it was stupid to draft a division 2 prospect as high as they did Shaheen. Name some div 2 prospects that got drafted around the first 2 rounds and went on to have good to great NFL careers. I'll wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be a high priority once FA starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
