Based on the fact that he was a 7th round pick (and those very rarely work out) from a small school and was almost immediately redshirted. Odds are, he'll never play a down for the Bears or any team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should let Toliver compete for the job. They won’t because he went in 2nd, but they should. They always say position battles are fair, but very few teams practice that. Bears aren’t one of them.

Bars arguably won a starting job based on camp and preseason last year and didn’t even make initial roster. While Long couldn’t block anyone in camp and still started. Not saying Bars should have started RG, but Long should not have, Shaheen and Burton never practiced and when they did they were literal hot garbage and they started.

If he weren’t then they wouldn’t have taken Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Nebraska built a juggernaut when you could have 500 players on a roster because they let nobodies actually have a chance to not only be on team, but to win jobs, compete and develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the coaches clearly think it...if they didn't they wouldn't be taking a 2nd round CB or bringing in a highly touted CFL player or Artie Burns.
