If he’s the WR4 or WR5, that will be his role. And nobody wants to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world a rookie slots in at 3 with Fowler as a safety net at 4. You have White at 5 as a wildcard. Hopefully the Bears have a late round pick UDFA that flashes and Bellamy is gone.

That’s all I expect from Fowler, a decent depth signing that plays special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like that's what we needed, a 4th/5th WR that can come in and get ~50 targets a year, and play adequate special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Very solid smart pick up...upside receiver coming off career highs who given where he will be on the depth chart has shown plenty on teams and is only 26 years old...nice work Pace.

You also have to consider the Bronco's QB situation went bad rather quickly (for whatever reason). Guy could be even better than advertised.

I was not really interested in signing some aging ghost like Maclin. Doesnt make sense with where the Bears are at. My guy was Brice Butler, but Fowler is solid.

He said he wanted to start and he should do that in ARI. He might not have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you sign a veteran recently released WR so often they are physically shot and all the experience in the world is not going to get them open.

His increased role only came when he finally got an expanded chance because Sanders got hurt and missed 4 games. What he provided IMO is exactly what we should expect from a mid-round rookie in a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too - if anything I think that if younger players make someone expendable it’s likely Bellamy with Fowler picking up his ST slack. Who knows though - I never thought we’d tender Bellamy at all. He’s one of the most perplexing players we’ve had on our roster in the past 10 years to me. He keeps being not great at anything and he CLEARLY caused a big locker room rift last year yet he keeps seeming to be a favorite of the staffs and front office.

He must be the greatest practice player in franchise history ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
