I'm not talking about the bears making GBS threads the bed I'm talking about the other teams. Teams don't just play the same week in and week out. As bad as the bears look there are plenty of teams capable of losing to them. They might be the worst but worst doesn't mean "cannot win against x team because x team is better". This Bears team is absolutely a candidate for 0-16, I am just saying they will have to earn it because all of these teams I mentioned are capable of playing bad enough to lose to them. In 1999 the eventual AFC champion Tennessee Titans, a 13-3 team, was blown out by the eventual 8-8 Ravens by a score of 41-14. The final scores of games don't always reflect how "good" a team is.

You know when you play a Madden game for long enough that you reach the point where the league where your team has more randomly-generated fake players than actual NFL players? That is what happened to the Bears roster in one season What the gently caress is a Josh Bellamy?

Despite some recent, promising seasons, the Bears are clearly still one of the worst teams in the NFC, if not the NFL. It's almost that if, despite ample and regular changes, the Bears still suck.

Why is the Bears' roster so empty of talent? Cheap ownership/bad GM/what?

Thanks for playing, you're both quite close The correct order is Martellus Bennett Eddie Royal Zach Miller Jacquizz Rodgers (the name I didn't get) Assuming that Forte should be a part of our passing game is correct, but that would be too easy to try

The only team competing for the bad drafting crown over that time span is the Jaguars. Edit: Fixing the Bears roster is going to take at least three years of quality drafting. This is not going to be a quick turn around. fishing with the fam fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Sep 28, 2015 |

Crow_Robot posted:Why is the Bears' roster so empty of talent? The 2 prior GMs were terrible picks by the owners, who are chucklefucks who don't know how to run a football team. This last off season they hired Ernie Acorsi as a consultant to help them pick a competent GM and got Ryan Pace, but they're still suffering through years of lovely drafting and over reliance on free agents.

including a punt the bears only ran 3 offensive plays in seahawks territory. granted the seahawks got a lucky call on the fumble but still.

Also, as far as I know Cutler isn't done for the year. He might not be a great QB but he is good for a few wins. If he plays a decent number of games this year they will probably win at least one.

Crow_Robot posted:Why is the Bears' roster so empty of talent? Well, their first round pick is the guy who was to replace Brandon Marshall who they shipped out, but he's injured. Looking at (relevant) players from their drafts: 2014: 1- CB Kyle Fuller 2- DT Ego Ferguson 3- DT Will Sutton 4- CB BRock Vereen 2013: 1- G Kyle Long 2- LB JOnathan Bostic 4- LB Khaseem Greene 2012: 1- DE Shea McCLellin 2- WR ALshon Jeffery 3- DB Brandon Hardin 4- TE Evan Rodriguez 2011: 1- T Gabe Carimi 2- DT Stephen Paea 3- DB Chris Conte 2010: 3- DB Major Wright 4- DE Corey Wootton 2009: 3- DT Jarron Gilbert 3- WR Juaquin Iglesias 4- DE Henry Melton 4- DB DJ MOore So this should be the core of their team. 2009 and 10 first rounders were for Jay Cutler, which makes sense. And I don't recognize a lot of these guys (which tells you a lot right there), and basically it looks like they've thrown a ton of picks at trying to fix their OL, DL and secondary and not really hit on anywhere enough of those guys.

None of those dudes from 2009, 2010, or 2011 are on the team anymore. Of the the latter three years, only Long and Jeffery look like NFL players. Of those two players, one is changing positions and the other is perpetually injured. To say they have a dearth of talent is an understatement.

Crow_Robot posted:Why is the Bears' roster so empty of talent? ALLOW ME to take you back to the halcyon days of the Lovie Smith era, where our humble story begins. Riding high were the Chicago Bears of 2006, a year in which the Sex Cannon Rex Grossman and Kyle "Jack Daniels" Orton took tips from third string QB Greasy Brian Griese. The defense was riding high, the offense was a trash fire who managed to be strung along by a team who are who we THOUGHT they were. But we let them off the hook. Lovie has always taken a cavalier approach to the NFL draft, and it was pretty clear that he got his way, and had some freedom to do whatever he wanted with the mid/late picks. You had your Al Afalavas (sp), your DJ Moore's, your [Insert 3rd round defensive player drafted to play Special Teams kick coverage here]. The Bears had a strong backbone of talent on defense, a disregard for searching for talent on offense (outside of Matt Forte, who they kinda lucked into), and Jerry Angelo, the GM in name but not in role, had a penchant for striking out on DL/OL prospects (hello Chris Williams). The Cutler trade was certainly an un-Bearslike move (making a big, risky trade), and also cost us most of the 2010 draft. Talented veterans kept dropping like flies, Urlacher was no longer there to carry the chains out onto the field (nobody acutally wanted to make their own chain since this isn't High School so Urlacher got the water boys to make chains for him (this story is made up)) and Lovie remained unconcerned with even trying to draft skill position players. Why bother, he thought to himself as he was shown the door. Phil Emery and Trestman marked a transition for the Bears. The roster was suffering. The 2006 team was all old and bad. Cutler was stupid and dumb and weak and we hated him (not we as in me but we as in chicagoans). But here, we had two nerds. Dudes who knew what DVOA was, and weren't afraid to reference it to show off their chops. One of them looked like a sex offender. We didn't care. We wanted a change. Two mavericks who would shake up the system, rebuild the roster, and drag the dated Chicago mentality forward from the treadmill of 1985 Superbowl Shufflin Bears where defense wins championships and passing is for fancyboys. Their first move was to draft a 3/4 tweener OLB from Boise State, Alshon Jeffery (who owns and is good) and a bunch of dudes who did not last more than one season. The next draft was equally horrendous (Kyle Long is the only player worth mentioning) and 2014 is looking like a skinker of a draft, as Ego Ferguson and Kyle Fuller are the only names you will hear on a sunday, usually followed by the words "aren't very good". Is 9 years of bad drafting enough to take a team from NFC North/Super Bowl contenders to the worst team in the NFL? Some might argue yes. Others might argue that there can be value in the Free Agency, wheeling and dealing to try to find your guys. The Bears have never been about that life, as Pernell McPhee represented the biggest free agent signing since we picked up Lester "Lefty" Wallack in '48. Nah, that's not totally true, in fact most of the top players on the Bears have been acquired through FA or trades. Cutler, Martellus Bennett, Left Tackle Jermon Bushrod (who was good before we got our hands on him, system LT????), Jared Allen (who rates high on the grit level which maeks him good in my eyes) Jay/Jeremiah Ratliff who would be a solid contributor on a team which didn't suck hard, and others along the way who have since left (Tim Jennings for a little while, Julius Peppers, uh fuckin Garza was a free agent signing i think). The point is this list should be longer, and is longer for any other team. The Bears do not have good players. They're not good at drafting good players. They're not good at acquiring, or keeping good players. Most importantly, they're not good at developing the players they get, especially the young ones. The team has been a nosedive since the mid 2000's and, despite all of us back in the coach seats screaming up to the pilot to start the course correction, he maintains that things are OK as he tries to stick that fucker right into the Hudson river. That poo poo ain't easy. RIP Jason McKie

Blitz7x posted:Volkerball would you rather have Carr+Cooper or Teddy+Leonard? If it was me drafting at the time, we'd have Teddy and Leonard, but in hindsight I'm pretty happy with what we've got. I was 100% in on Cooper until Williams fell and then I was kind of iffy on him, but he's way better than I expected. He's 2nd in NFL history in yards per game receiving as a rookie, and if you take out ODB's crazy season, he's 1st by a mile. That's ridiculous. And Carr has outperformed Bridgewater so far.
