***BREAKING: Brandon Marshall traded to the Jets***

If that's your expectation, you will be sorely disappointed.

That wasn't my expectation until today. If I end up very disappointed then I'll be calling for Pace's head this offseason. If we're going to suck this year I want to at least have SOMETHING worth watching on game day, and they traded away a pretty big something. Douchebags in the front office are going to make me suffer through a dogshit 6-10 season with nothing to be proud of.

A 5th round pick? LOL at Matt Cassell being worth two compared to Marshalls one. Nice work Pace.

Brandon Marshall's career is starting to smell a little like Terrell Owens' career.

Ouch.

 

[PrideisBears]

Well at least marshall will continue his path of never making the playoffs

Like others have said: With mgt willing to part with Marshall for, what a first blush, looks like a pack of M&M's, then they BETTER be willing to part with that LOSER Cutler. That asshole better be next.

Unfortunately, I can see them keeping him on some "We know what he [didnt] do with the old regime, but WE are the smartest ppl in the room and can't wait to work with him"-type shit. FTW!

I can only imagine the absolute beast that we're going to draft in the fifth. Maybe he'll get a couple of tackles on kickoffs.

Are you one of those posters that's going to implode? C'mon man. Let your rage flow.

 

[ThaGator]

A 5th for Marshall is actually a really good return all things considered.

Brandon Marshall a number 1 WR and Matt Noodle arm Cassell ... Uhm, no rage I just don't see the correlation between the two.

Name how many Super bowl champions in the last decade that had an elite WR

The QB play is much more important.

Look at the teams that have won the Super Bowl the last 10 years. The QBs have played well enough that the WR play is mostly irrelevant.

Typically that happens when a team goes through a mini rebuild.

There's a couple guys via FA who could play as a #2 on this team, and let's not forget we have Jeffery, Bennett and Forte as top 5-10 offensive players at their positions.

If we add say, Hartline, Moore, Nicks (who could come cheap and is looking to rebound), and Britt that would be a huge plus to already 3 bonafide star players.

Well that settles it. I'm never buying another player's jersey; every time I do they're gone within 1 year of me doing so. There's nothing wrong with Brandon that a healthy ankle and winning couldn't cure.

Possible FA Replacements

Torrey Smith
Harry Douglas
Randall Cobb
Hakeem Nicks
Cecil Shorts
Brian Hartline
Jeremy Maclin
Eddie Royal
Michael Crabtree
Jacoby Jones

Only one on this list worth a shit (compared to what Marshall brought) is Cobb, and I don't see the Bears getting him.

It's like a late 4th since the Jets are picking atop the 5th

No reason to with a loaded WR draft class.

 

[dabears70]

I'm sure a lot of us are mad right now at not only the trading of BMarsh but for what sounds to be that we only got a mid to late round pick but if the plan truly is to build this defense back to what a Bears defense is supposed to be and to go with a strong running game then the loss of Marsh shouldn't hurt that bad. I really can't wait for free agency to start now and wondering if the idea is to bring in another RB to share carries with Forte? A Forte/M.Ingram combo would work well and then with a great Bears defense things should be fine and we still have Alshon, M.Bennett and M.Wilson and add a speedy WR to that and we'll be just fine.

 

[Tampabear]

all the people clamoring for a 'total' rebuild are going to be the first people lighting up these boards with complaints the next few years.

This is exactly right.

10 wins is a lock for the wild card in the AFC. Wouldn't surprise me with Bowles if they go back to looking like the Jets under Ryan when he first arrived there. Maybe they go with Mariota at 6 and he helps them win games.

 

[PrideisBears]

Marsjall is old and coming off injury. To add on he only has one winning season

Cobb is not even top 2 on that list Maclin and Smith. Cobb is a result of Aaron Rodgers and i cant wait to see the team that overpays for his services realize it mid way through the season
