I was ok with taking a receiver at seven even with Marshall if they were BPA, especially considering we weren't exactly stacked at the position, but now receiver is a legit need. Pace said he wanted to use FA to create opportunities to go BPA is the draft...well, getting rid of players in order to create holes is one way to assure that.

It has nothing to do with knowing Marshall is a good WR. That's obvious. That doesn't mean Chris Carter is the voice of reason. In case you haven't noticed, most analysts on TV are former players....and some of them are just as dumb and unenlightened as many on this board. Using the logic of "He's a former player, so we should listen to him as gospel" doesn't hold water....and the ones who use it are the same ones who go on to discredit some other ex-professional when it suits their argument. The whole point is, if I want an intelligent, informed, logical, and unbiased opinion, Chris Carter is not the one I would turn to.

Pace will sign a couple crappy free agents and you all will find some reasoning to make yourselves believe they were brilliant moves and Pace is the best. Just wait. It wasn't long ago most people here were chanting, "Trestmans a genius." In fact I saw Bears fans all over the interwebs posting that.

It's going to happen. Just watch. But hey, with a little luck maybe we won't get swept but all 3 of our divisional foes next season.

well, if we are truly rebuilding, so what? for what it's worth, I didn't want them to get rid of marshall. I don't believe in fire sale rebuilds in the modern NFL.

You sound like a Jags fan. There's a good chance there'll be 3 very good teams in the division next year. None of them the bears. Yes, teams in the NFL can rise quickly, but there's a point of critical mass, a kind of suckage a team doesn't easily come back from. Teams that suck for seemingly entire decades, even longer? That's not magical, or bad luck. It's because they sank so low, it becomes extremely difficult to dig out of.

While I thought Marshall would get traded anyway, the bleek return makes it seem like they were desperate to get him out. I hope Pace/Fox know what they're doing, but I have faith they know a little more than our fanbase does.
That said; parlaying the savings into some young free agent signings, should help everyone forget the bad taste in their mouths.

At this point I am dying for next week to come. Stressing out about what is going to happen is getting to be too much. I just want to know already what is actually going to happen (as in if Cutler, Forte, etc are going to be on the team and who it is that we are targeting in FA) so I can just get on with the coping process and deal with it.
Then I could happily make mock drafts until the real draft takes place.

No coach has controlled him to date. It probably can only be managed to a point. I find where he got traded to interesting. Sounds like he'll be able to keep his away gig without needing to get away.

You know how it works. Be abused, then become the abuser. Vicious cycle.

I don't care about a player being traded. I do care about coming out on the losing side of a trade. On the face of it Marshall for a 5th doesn't replace him so we come out on the losing end.
There had better be a lot of locker room problems cleaned up for this trade to work out in our favor.
Hope this isn't just a McD coming in to destroy a team and then getting fired.

Wait a minute, didn't Pace and Fox said they came here to win championship? It's a joke to hire guys just to blow the team up. What a waste of Bears fan's time and money. All they had to do is band-aid this coming season, get in the playoffs next season, not rebuild. Neither Pace or Fox mention anything about rebuilding, winning now and championships is what I heard. Say goodbye to the guys we know, we'll be lucky to keep Kyle Long & Kyle Fuller.

OLE, If they rebuild, then something tells us they has absolutely no "solutions" or ideas of what they want to do with the team. You either fix it or replace it.
