It will happen. Hell they may end up even cutting cutler outright if they can't get anything for him.

One can only hope...

So I guess a large contingent of people think that Marshall would have been a great player to hold on to while the rebuild occurs?

Very true. Obviously this is a salary dump and the draft pick can't be counted on to replace a pro bowl guy like Marshall. So some people will say that now we can focus on improving our defense because of the money available. Well, sure. However, pro bowl guys are not easy to find, especially for the Bears organization.

Now they lose an 80-90 catch, 1000 receiving yard, and 8-10 TD guy who isn't afraid to block for RBS and other receivers. Who, pray tell, do they draft right now that you are assured to get this production back?

They are not going to replace his production.

They are moving on from a core of players that did not get it done. That means they will take a step back to take a couple of steps forward hopefully.

And that he would not have aged.

What if that fifth round pick is a QB, that goes onto become an elite player? I think that is what he was talking about, the long run not immediate.

5th round qbs don't go on to be elite players. They go on to be backups if they are lucky or most likely on practice squads or out of football
And before you say Tom Brady, that was one guy. One guy. 16 years ago

A draft of a qb in the 5th is essentially a wasted pick.

I think we're all missing the larger picture as well: who the fuck is going to run "Bears camp south" this year? I can't wait for all the threads complaining about the lack of leadership when guys aren't communing in Florida to work out during the offseason.

Lol holy fuck! Well Mick, that sure did escalate fast heh?

So from me saying to you to post his book/dictionary of criminal record, you took out of it that Im a meatball and not a man because I respect Marshall's criminal record?

All I wanted was for you to post his crimnal record. I dont know whats on it or not, hence why I asked/told you to post it.

I don't know what his record is and I have no desire to go looking for it. I do that he's a domestic abuser (he's said so himself), a narcissist, and that the Bears wanted rid of him from ownership down to players.

Brandon was the first Bear I met at Halas Hall. He treated me like family for the last two years. Wish him nothing but the best with the NYJ

They already did.

And dumping 30+ year old receivers coming off an injury doesn't always turn out bad. I was just using a what if example to go along with what I thought was said by a previous poster. Meant how the picks turns out in the future, not immediately.

Tomo Romo was undrafted. Russell Wilson was a mid round pick. Not every starting QB is Andrew Luck.
