WindyCity Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Dontrelle Inman was high on my realistic targets list. The trade is almost no risk for the Bears. A 7th round pick can be recouped without issue and the next 9 games become more important for Trubisky because the WRs are not terrible. Inman has really good size [6'3" 205lbs], had good speed [4.47 Pro Day] and has been productive when starting. 2016: 16 starts, 58 catches, 810 yards, 4 TDs, with catches of 57, 57, 52, 52, 37, 35, 35 2015: 7 starts, 35 catches, 486 yards, 3 TDs, catches of 68 and 31 Inman has also been a key special teams player for the Chargers and we could see the end of Bellamy soon. Imagine a bigger version of Josh Bellamy who does not suck as a WR. This is a great move for the Bears. It is probably the most realistic upgrade they could make in season and gives the Bears a steady and professional WR and allows everyone in the WR core to move back a rung.

WindyCity Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The Bears needed a professional to come in and stop the bleeding and provide something resembling a consistent target. Inman fits the bill and as sad as it is, he is the best WR on the Bears roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I am not a Markus Wheaton fan, but I recognize he has produced. If Wheaton is healthy,InmanWheatonWrightGentryMcBrideThat is not going to make me want to throw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured then Chargers would be the team to move a receiver of a team wanted one. They have like five receivers who nobody can tell apart. It’s like the movie Multiplicity, and all of their receivers are just bad clones of Keenan Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't a world beater, but who would we get that was? The talent is upgraded for a mere 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damikeeeee Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Not really a move to get a lot better but for the cost it makes sense. I wish we would’ve paid a little more for a WR will a little more but it’s whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 He had 800+ yards and 4 tds last year. Pretty solid for an udfa. It's a win win, he either performs at an okay level or doesn't and we don't give anything up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my line, I say that at work all the time. The trade, its a low risk high reward deal. Awesome if it works, if not, 7th round picks don't really make an impact, so we don't lose much.

The Bears did a lot of hurry up on 3rd down and they were in "heavy" packages. I think that's what kept Wright off the field (that and us only having something like 37 offensive snaps).

I really hope they start spreading it out a little more now that they have a couple actual NFL WRs. I really think running out of shotgun, with 3 WRs on the field and allowing Trubisky a run throw option is the best use of his ability right now. But Inman alone is big. At UNC Trubisky had big dudes on the outside and little guys in the middle. If Inman can make him a little more comfortable throwing outside it would be a big step.

CBears019 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I like this move. I don’t expect him to light the world on fire, but at least this shows the Bears saw a gaping hole on this team and decided to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankWilliams Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 How often do you see the Bears make mid-season moves like this? Not very frequently. Not a worldbeater but I'll take any chance at an improved WR core, even if its just marginally better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
