MonserinNC Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Haha....i liked how this turned into a TE thread...my initial point was just that the Bears have more weapons than people think.... we legit needed to take defense with our picks....i would argue that we need to go defense next year as well...presumably losing Quinn, our front 7 is like only Roqouan We have a ton of money next year, sign a WR and keep building that D with the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People (especially nationally) talk like the cupboards in Chicago are bare, and they’re not. They’re just not overflowing. There’s a difference.

People (especially nationally) talk like the cupboards in Chicago are bare, and they’re not. They’re just not overflowing. There’s a difference. Main problem is hope for many of WRs is based on projection, potential and scheme rather than proven track record. Always easier and safer to predict and expect failure, because failure in a large competition is most likely outcome. But there is a world where one or more of these guys emerges as an unexpected success along side Mooney who I think has proven himself as a solid NFL wr regardless of scheme or QB. I have always maintained that QBs make WRs more so than WRs make QBs. A lot of the success or failure will depend on Fields. But we also have to keep in mind guys like ESB and Pringle played with pretty good QBs already. At same time you could argue they were behind better guys. Or they and guys like Velus could be late in developing and may step up or in were need of greater opportunity and reps to do so. But that goes back to original point of projection and potential. A lot we just don’t know yet. Odds are most of these guys won’t work, but one or more may. Edited May 18, 2022 by dll2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t all meet or exceed expectations, but they don’t have to either. We just need someone to step up, whether that’s Pringle from a capable 3 to a capable 2, Velus being able to fill an immediate role, etc. Each of the WRs brought in has some discernible skills (some more than others) with which to work. If Getsy is a capable play caller and if Fields is what we think he will be then it won’t be the dumpster fire many are projecting. Best case scenario with everything going well (meaning Fields takes a huge jump, Mooney is a 1300+ yard WR, Pringle/Velus/whoever prove to be solid players or better, Getsy is solid and the OL is at least adequate) and this could be a top 8 offense. If eeeeeeeeverything goes our way. To be clear, that’s not my expectation in any way. Conversely, if we end up in the bottom 3 on offense that probably means that pretty much eeeeeeeeverything goes wrong (Fields takes no step, Mooney takes a step back, the rest of the WRs are non-factors, the OL is a sieve and Getsy is in way over his head). Reality is it’ll probably end up somewhere between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
