Nagy is a perplexing creature. Nagy undermined everyone. Khalil Herbert went from 3 pretty good running games out of 4 and then the last 9 or so games of the year he didn’t even get 5 carries in a game. It’s a wonder Quinn had so many sacks and Mooney had a k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were assured that if the Bears paid him (as they did, handsomely, the year before) that Robinson would show up on Sundays? You ever see an $18 mil/year player phone it in, ever, before? You think it was a mistake to NOT pay said $18 mil/year player about the same amount...and HOPE he didn't phone it in next season, again? Are you ******* serious? Do you really think front offices make moves along the lines you're imagining that they should? Have you seen such stuff happen before? If not, can you explain why your wisdom exceeds that of NFL front offices? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was pretty clear that Robinson wanted a change of scenery and he shouldn’t be forced to be somewhere he doesn’t want to be. And now he’s in a situation a million times better than here and I wish him nothing but the best. However, that doesn’t mean that Byron Pringle is a better wide receiver than Robinson. Which is what the original question referred to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what the original question referred to. The "original question" completely ignored the argument that I laid out--and that was that jettisoning Robinson was a completely understandable move. I backed that up by affirming that, at $18 mil/year, Robinson had significantly worse stats (and that's just going by stats, nothing else) than Pringle, who was a lower offensive option on the field (because of who was on the depth chart above him) than Robinson was. It has nothing to do with who is is the "better" receiver. It has everything to do with what was the better move for the Bears. Do you think that Poles should have given Robinson like a $20 mil/year contract, then hoped Robinson decided to stop going through the motions on Sundays? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagging a player expecting to be an UFA does not make him happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
