2011 - 20?? Bears Offseason(s) Thread

[PenPho]

I like when SKO talks about X, Z, and H receivers like he's a coach.

Man, it really bothers you that nobody wants your opinion on anything, ever, doesn't it?

Are you asking my opinion?

This was very funny.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Pretty humorous interview with actual personality from Jay Cutler.

Fire up the hatewagon for Roy Williams.

He needs to get his "wind right", ie, he's still out of shape.

Man, the pickings really are slim this training camp. 

Roy Williams is going to have his bests season as a pro and the best season for a Bears wideout ever.  #FACT

He's going to catch over 100 balls for more than 1400 yards and catch more than 13 TDs. You heard it hear first.

When Yetti calls one out on a grammatical mistake, it's probably best to hang 'em up at that point.

Question.  When they approve of a comment that the speaker has made in the House of Commons are they saying "Here, here", or "Hear, hear",  or "Hear here"  or "Here, hear"?

Biggsy takes a break from helping Tim Shaw pick out paint colors for his home theater to gather some interesting nuggets and tidbits from Football Outsiders, including one comparison that I'm fairly certain will make SKO's bowlcut-topped head explode.

As far as Cutler goes, the research shows what you see is what you get. Football Outsiders projects him to pass for 3,555 yards this season with 22 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.

"Mechanically he has flaws that a player of his experience should have corrected by now and players who don't correct that by his age and his number of attempts don't correct them," Tanier said. "He's not going to stop throwing off of his back foot when he's rushed. He's not going to stop throwing into coverage in the middle of the field because those are mistakes you correct in your second year or third year."

Who does Cutler compare to according to Football Outsiders?

"Jim Everett, a player who had a lot of success, threw for a lot of yards, had some playoff success, but couldn't overcome the sacks and couldn't overcome the mistakes," Tanier said. "When you take a lot of hits early in your career, your numbers start to go down a little more quickly."

From the book: "The similarities between the two quarterbacks are obvious: big arm, big stats, tendency to throw off the back foot, checkered-at-best reputation as a clubhouse personality."

Chris Cutler?

We've discussed the Cutler-Everett comparison in the shoutbox before. They're actually pretty similar in that Everett, too, was shit on for most of his career after 1989. I mean he played for the mid-90s Saints and Rams. Those teams were absolute garbage. If Cutler gets protection we will see if he can't improve. I also don't necessarily by the "guys don't improve at this stage of their career" argument. Possibly true, but Favre from 92-94 had some serious issues before Holmgren finally settled him down. No one remembers because he won three Superbowls, but Tom Brady's highest passer rating in his first three years as a starter was 86.5 and his highest YPA in that time was 6.9. Guys can improve when you improve the talent around them.

So Cutler is just as good as Tom Brady and Eli Manning?
