The good news is that Emery can basically dump the entire defense this offseason if he chooses. If they decide to cut bait with Peppers, Conte & McLellin, the only rotation guys that I think would still be under contract for next year are Paea, Bostic and Frey.

The bad news is, they need an entire new defense.

I want this season to end so Phil can get to work. I'm excited to see him get things done.

With the cap going up about 7 million, the expiring contracts, and the hopefully inevitable releases of Peppers/Bush/Earl Bennett (sorry Earl)....Phil's looking at a full complement of draft picks and probably like $60 million in cap room. This will definitely be the offseason that defines his entire tenure.

Yeah I think so. If he keeps the offense running at its current level and can shore up the defense to even average, that'll be a good job. Of course if the Bears catch some luck w/r/t injuries next season that'd be swell, too.

When he arrived, they had a rotating derpfest at OC, no credible wide receivers or tightends and the worst offensive line in pro football including the Canadian Football League. Fixed.

Now he has the resources needed to fix the defense in full. If he had missed on any of the above, it would be detrimental to his plan. I don't know what more I could ask of him at this point. If he chooses poorly on too many of the players he tabs for the defense, we'll re-evaluate. But as of now, I have to give him an A.

Does that include the $9.8M hit for Peppers?

Really my only beef with Earmery is the McLelllin pick. Man that guy sucks. Maybe as a first-time GM he got nervous and accidentally referred to the dry erase draft board easel Angelo forgot to take with him.

Yeah, I generally think Emery's on the right track, but that first pick sticks in my craw.  It'd be one thing to draft a guy that everyone thought was a good pick (Chris Williams, Carimi) and said player busts out, but to take a chance on a project that it turns out you can't even remotely develop is disoncerting. 

Now, if Emery is man enough to admit his mistake and cut that pile of shit as soon as the season ends, then my faith in him will strengthen.

Speaking of high-risk, high-reward draft picks, I kind of like Alshon Jeffrey and Kyle Long. 2-of-3 is really good in that department. The rest of those first two drafts have produced zero definite contributors however. Jordan Mills, Isiah Fry, Khaseem Greene and Jon Bostic deserve another year to pan out. I don't know what else is there. I also don't know what a good or above-average draft actually looks like because I'm not some fat tard who scours draft boards in lieu of having secks with a woman in my spare time.
