Glorious it was. But Mac wasn’t the reason the Bears won. Walter and the D was.I watched em all season, and went to the SB that year..It was GLORIOUS!

While im not as harsh i have to say i dont see him as a top 10 reciever either. I think hes B level which is good but not elite. Ive seen him not make some difficult catches and when was the last time he broke away for a long TD? He pretty much never does. Hes consistent and good at what he does but hes not an explosive WR. Id prefer to keep him but i dont think he should get top shelf reciever money. Mooney has been terrific in his first year and should only get better and could become our #1 even at his size. I think we can pick up a really talented WR in the 2nd round or even the 3rd so im not too concerned with Robinson moving on although id like to see him back but not for the money he wants.like I always say. Robinson is a decent WR2 at best. Nothing more. I also would take Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp over Robinson anyday over the ones you mentioned already. Hes not a top 20 WR
@Adipost do you have a clip of the pass down the sideline to Graham? I think it was on the second Bears possession of the game.
A full clip from pre-snap to end of catch? That was a really nice play design to get Graham open.
Team game and Mac was a big part. Only game they lost is one he didn't play and another one that he was supposed to sit and heal, he talked his way into to score a quick 3 TDs against the Vikes. They were losing by 2 scores and he comes in after the start of the 2nd 1/2 and throws 3 long TDs in 7 passes.Glorious it was. But Mac wasn’t the reason the Bears won. Walter and the D was.
This is about where I'm at. Avoids contact and not special at one on one balls. Best thing this team did for AR was draft Mooney.While im not as harsh i have to say i dont see him as a top 10 reciever either. I think hes B level which is good but not elite.

No disrespect intended to him. But I remember those years. He was a good QB, not a great one. Of course he deserves a piece of the credit for those wins. My only point was I believe that D and Walter had a bit more to do with them than he did.Team game and Mac was a big part.

He was robbed of the MVP in the SB. In that years playoffs, he rushed for 60 yards, averaged 212 yards per game over the 3 playoff games, scored 6 TDs with no turnovers and had a 107 rating... in 1985. The next year, he was already trying to play through a shoulder cuff injury when Martin fucked him up for good. He was never the same but to discredit him for his championship team's contributions is improper.
Hampton had little love for the guy and even he said that if they had a healthy McMahon in the next few postseasons, they'd have more rings, but what does he know?
Back to Mitch. On those double clutch deep balls that he always misses. Is he lining them up for a better throw as it looks or is he double checking for a safety before he throws. I honestly think that if he just let it go before aiming like that, he'd have a lot more success. WTF is that?
There is not much options in free agency. Mitch is the top guy. His competition is guys like Cam Newton. Some team will offer him 20 million year
I actually prefer him doing his thing rather than thinking about his mechanics while he's making throws. Only so much room in that head.I'd have to see them again, but without even seeing them I bet he's not stepping into it, doing that stupid leg swing thing he does. No idea why that hasn't been coached out of him, he'd be so much more accurate.
That first touchdown to Graham are the throws he needs to make consistently, it was a dart.
I dont think its about not being able to evaluate QB talent, although that is also true. In the last 2 decades, we had 51 different QBs start for this team, its practically impossible that all of them were bad talent and bad QBs. In my opinion, it has to do with the meatball mantra that has stuck with this franchise, of "we play great D and run the ball" and that comes all the way from ownership on down. When you invest 2/3rds of your salary cap on defense, always, it shouldnt be a shock that you cant pass the ball. We need to get over the meatball nonsense that worked decades ago, and step into 21st century NFL, where teams that invest into offense and have potent pass game, actually winIn reality, it's probably a combination of the two. The Bears are a terrible QB destination, and we have no idea how to evaluate QBs. Which means we have dogshit at the QB position forever.
I really think that the best changes we could make, don't come in the draft or on the field at all. It's ownership/management/GM/coaches. Not that ownership is ever going to change. But it would be cool if they sold the fucking team. Ted Phillips really needs to be fired or re-org'd. We're a professional football team with silver spoon idiot rich kids and an accountant running the show.
No doubt. Who is this assclown writing this? Actually said Trubisky's deep ball should be emphasized, alluding to a 21 yard pass thrown to a wide open receiver whose defender fell down. LMAO. Can we be honest? Trubisky has the worst deep ball in the NFL and if there's anything the Bears' coaching staff has done right this year, it's that they've reigned in that shit of late and damn near never ask Trubisky to go deep.Stopped reading when they said Robinson isn’ta star receiver lol what? He accounts for like 78% or some ridiculous number of our passing yards
To be fair you can't run the ball well if you don't invest in your o line so even that to me isn't a good enough explanation. Bears were damn near the bottom in rushing last year and they were at the bottom this year until they lucked up that an undrafted kid in Mustipher turned out to be a good center.I dont think its about not being able to evaluate QB talent, although that is also true.

That is funny because I see it from Mitch's point of view and frankly the Bears do not deserve his services. If I was him I would say fuck you on the way out the door.
Because people were posting WRs they thought were better than ARob and I posted mine.
Yes he was better at it in 2019 but this was a contract year and he has disappointed in that regard. ARob is a very good WR but I don't think he is worth 18m a year given our current cap situation.
Think we should use the money not spent on ARob and 4M to rebuild the OL with guys that can actually play well against top competition. I would try and sign a RT and OG then look at QB, LT, and WR in the draft unless we can beat GB and make some noise in the playoffs.
Harbaugh had 1 good season with the Colts. Yeah, he's the one people would point to as a QB who "succeeded" elsewhere but did he really? Not so much outside of that 1 fluke season. Kyle Orton put some decent seasons in with other teams and foundHarbaugh
He is the epitome of how far the Bears will go to keep from having a good QB.
I was there.
Right before the snap, the safety covering Graham retreats into a single high position. This puts the responsibility of covering Graham on the LB Myles Jack. The other safety rotates underneath to cover Anthony Miller, who is lined up inside of Robinson.
At the snap, Nagy sends Miller across the line of scrimmage. This motion confuses the defense and they make a critical mistake. Instead of following Miller across the field, the safety signals the LB Jack to take over the coverage of Miller.
This leaves Graham completely unguarded...
Why do you bring up the cap 60 times a day but never include the caveat that things are fluid with the 2021 cap? You speak in these absolutes about the 2021 cap. But it’s obvious that a lot of stuff is going to change. The most likely scenario is that they don’t put the hit from Covid all on the 2021 cap. They’ll spread it over the course of years. It’s been mentioned in several articles. The 2021 cap is more than likely going to be around 195 million. (I’m not sure. But I think the 175 million number you see on all these sites is the minimum amount the cap can be. And it’s negotiated by the players association and owners before the season. It’s not meant to be set in stone. It’s just the floor negotiated by the players and owners.)
I’m pretty sure you do this as some sort of troll to be negative. To create this doom and gloom “we won’t be able to afford anybody. We suck” narrative. Because you constantly bring it up as if you‘re the official cap space guy for CCS. But you never include the fact that because of covid these projections are really shaky. And if you read at all about the cap you’d see that this 175 million number is low and that they’re going to not put the loss of revenue from Covid all on the 2021 cap. and that the Bears are going to have more money than you’re projecting. I think there’s a possibility you’re aware of this. But because you like to be negative you purposely don’t include that stuff. And choose to just speak in these absolutes about the 2021 cap being 175 million instead.
