Bears got robinson

[WookieOnRitalin]

Who are you referring to when you say "most guys"? Like Beardown mentioned a typical ACL injury takes 6-10 months to heal and get cleared for contact (More towards the 9-10 months). Why do "most guys" need 8-12 extra months to reach top level of sports?

Exactly. There is a large time table for complete healing. Some have set backs. Some do not. Some have minor set backs. Some have major set backs. All the while, this is not talking about conditioning and the neuromuscular connections that have to happen to get back to the top of an athlete's game. I fully expect Robinson to recover, but I'm not going to expect him to be amazing right out of the gate. By the time the season open, he will be around 12 months out, which is a good place for him to start. But you have to factor in confidence, game speed, conditioning, and getting hit by very large men.

I think if people do not believe there will be an extra level of caution with regards to Robinson from management, coaching, and the medical staff that they are probably very delusional.

Great news. Very happy. Sounds like Wilson might be going elsewhere, and Watkins just signed with KC for $48m. So, I think we look at some of the other FAs, but we're not as desperate now. I do still like Moncrief. Robinson, Cam, Inman, White, Bellamy, Rookie.

Nobody has said this either. I think there will be caution. Caution being he will probably be rested during mid-week practices etc. He may not play much in pre-season. But I fully expect him to be full go during the season and game time.

Obviously, Bellamy continues to wear the 15 jersey. Just that it will now have Robinson on the back and he will be wearing while watching the Bears game from a bar stool.

This is awesome lol.

NFL Network reporting Bears not done with WR in free agency....hells yeah!

 

[TexasBearfan]

I don't understand why they couldn't just train up Glennon on WR, he's tall and athletic would probably catch a lot of TD's and you already had him on the team

 

[modo]

I fully expect the Bears to get two WRs. Glad one was the top in the class.

 

[Chicago4Life]

hell yeah finally a new toy for trubisky to play with

 

[gallagher]

Don't play the exceptions. Play the rule. On average, most guys need around 18 months to reach top level of sport. There is a distinct difference.

Dampening expectations means not expecting a 1400 yard 10 TD outburst his first year here. He got a contract because of his potential to produce and that the market dictated that they pay one of the big names because if they didn't, the fan base would have grabbed their pitch forks and try to lynch Pace.

I never said "recovery" year. I just said, the expectation should be that Year 2 and Year 3 will most likely be the years he is most productive and free from the mental hurdles of recovery.

I'm not expecting that much because I don't see Trubisky playing to a single receiver that much right now by (especially because Robinson will be doubled nearly every play). I'm crossing fingers for an 1100, 6 TD season myself.

 

[Imabearsfan]

100% catch rate last year. Dudes a stud.

Anyway, injured on his first catch, 1st quarter, 1st game last year. I know this, was on my fantasy team.

Will be 12 full months removed from injury. I expect big things.

 

[iueyedoc]

Wait, but I was told the Bears were a horrible franchise they couldn't sign any top free agents. I guess it's time to pivot to Pace only signs injured free agents and draft picks.

Pace can only sign current player's friends? Whichever way it goes we all know the duck and punch is coming

 

[Aquineas]

now I just hope he's healthy.

Really worried about this. In that video of him working out that was posted yesterday he definitely looks gimpy still. Not driving at all off the bad leg. It has only been 6 months though, so... hoping for the best. I'd feel much better if we signed Watkins too .

 

[mattb78]

Bears fans should be ecstatic about this deal. Huge position of need, arguably best free agent out there at WR, and we get a 3 year deal at a fair price.

 

[Aquineas]

AR15 - 6’3” 211lbs
Merideth - 6’3” 200lbs

Even Cade McNown could complete a pass to these behemoths.

Doubtful.

Windy is going have multiple orgasms when he wakes up.

At my age I would just take a strong erection.

 

[WindyCity]

This is a huge move for the Bears for multiple reasons,

1. It appears they are a destination again for free agents landing the #1 WR.
2. It shows us last seasons FA period was a blip, not that Robinson may not flame out, but at least we were not being rejected.
3. It gives the Bears a potential #1 WR that they were not going to find in the draft.
4. It gives immediate help to Trubisky and does not require development time
5. It puts everyone in a spot they can be successful, Meredith as the #2 is better for him than the #1 spot. If they sign Wilson or draft a slot they will not be forced outside.

 

[WindyCity]

Getting Robinson cheaper than Watkins is a really nice bonus.

I called it... Can I like be considered an 'insider' now?

Personally, I think the Bears already have assurance Robinson is theirs to be had, otherwise I think they would have pursued Landry harder. I have yet to hear what Browns gave up for him though.... Maybe Pace wouldn't have matched that offer regardless given how supposedly values the picks.

I bet Robinson gets something in the 14-16 mil range
