So where is the discussion of whom the Bears should have signed instead of Bushrod? How can you now say that the discussion was about "the money could have been spent elsewhere"...on what?
And, again, you are completely missing my point, which is that if Webb will remain a starter, shouldn't the issue be a comparison of Bushrod to Carimi/Scott?
Not much to say here except "Wow". I would guess that Emery would be crucified in the media if he did nothing to address the OT position in the offseason and went into 2013 with Webb/Carimi as his OTs...again. Thought that combo was a proven failure. Guess not (?).
No, thats not it. The main issue with Webb wasn't really the amount of pressures he gave up, it was the fact that he single-handedly limited the Bears offense by always requiring help. YOU made the claim that Bushrod received as much help as Webb...I asked for evidence. I see none is forthcoming. You didn't watch the Saints play last year and you've likely not gone back and watched the coach's tape.
The "pressures" stat and the "evidence" you have provided/not provided is speculative by its own nature. To now claim something as "speculative" and not addressing the issue is laughable.
I've watched more tape on Bushrod and Webb than any other poster on this site, I promise you that. Why would I need to grind an axe with Bushrod? I have no reason to hate on the guy he hasn't done anything to hurt the Bears.
People like you are pissed off that someone actually took the time to sit down and do some honest real world analysis on a player. You think that I have some anti-Bears agenda and want to prop up J'Marcus Webb.
You hate the fact that someone like me simply pointed out that Webb was the best offensive lineman on the Bears last season (according to the previously mentioned ProFootballFocus stats everyone is going by) and that Bushrod was the worst performing offensive lineman on the Saints.
You're angry that anyone does honest and or critical analysis of your favorite team..it's like a personal insult to you and to many other posters on this site.
Most fans including yourself have essentially said "Well Phil Emery and Aaron Kromer decided on Bushrod and he's gone to two Pro Bowls, that's good enough for me."
From there you've berated anyone that has something ELSE to bring into the discussion. If Bushrod lights the world on fire next year he'll get due credit, but until he does his body of work speaks for itself. You can try to alter the discussion/perception but all offensive tackles graded and evaluated by ProFootballFocus.com are done so fairly honestly and consistently and their rankings mirror those results.
Those numbers are in fact so trusted by the Bears' staff that they have taken to using their metrics to help in their own evaluations of players.
You can choose to make up your own facts or you can continue to talk at your ass, but the stats aren't going to change, and OBVIOUSLY neither are your biases.
