I admittedly do not watch the Jets but I had no idea Wilson was THAT bad against pressure. Can you imagine him behind this Bears offensive line? He'd look like the Peter Man. I know he's missed some time with injuries but yikes, that's horrible.
It's you, dude. It's you. I tried to politely tell you that before the football season started and you acted like a child then too. Just act like a normal, functioning, non-niece molesting person and you'd be fine. But alas, you pick pissing matches with anyone that dares disagree with you. Enjoy more negs, you deserve every last one of them.

Same with the 49ers. They'd be super bowl favorites if they had drafted Fields instead of Lance.

You are a man like my son. Unfortunately, my son is 5.
@nvanprooyen I know you have a lot to do but isn't there a chance to get a timeout by him? ?

@Anytime23 I had to kick Dongbears out of my Dickeys followers group for the way he’s been acting. Therefore he had to change is avatar.
I do not tolerate childish and unwarranted behavior like that.

This scenario fails to upgrade the biggest problem on the OL (C)
LT and LG have been fine. C has been terrible all year and Patrick looked like dog shit when he played, albeit at OG. Not sure I want to invest a top 10 pick and huge money in two spots that aren’t anywhere near the top of needs

I agree with you about the LT position. There are a number of posters who want to replace Jones at LT. For whatever reason, they don't think he's earned a spot there.
I think the big money FA should go to RT and C. That's where we should throw some cash around. I don't think it's viable to cut Whitehair this coming season either. Plus, he's done a great job at LG and with leadership. I begrudgingly have to give him props for that. I'm eating a bit of crow here, because I wanted to cut his ass last summer. Anyway, I digress.
There is a case to be made for running it back with Patrick, having to do with him being mostly injured making the year a wash, and, though I can be convinced, I would like to see us, at the least, draft a promising rookie on at least day 2 to play C. Even if we keep Patrick, I'd like a guy like Christian Haynes G UConn to be drafted. Trust me, his stock will skyrocket.

Anytime23 -- You are so good at recognizing BS when you see it that I'm recommending you for the following position:
And yes - I stole this image from a CCS advertiser. It just seemed to fit.
Anyway enjoy your new job. It doesn't pay well but it is satifying to the soul.
Peace.

In general, people look at OL too closed-mindedly. It's a unit, each position isn't a singular position. I'm not "replacing" Jones at LT. I'm moving him to RT in this scenario and putting a top 10 pick (AKA a more talented player) at LT. The Bears will probably leave Jones at LT, because that's the position he's played adequately, but if I said I was taking a RT in the top 10, everyone would have flipped out because it's not the blind side! And that mentality leads to passing up a top 10 talent and waiting for value at RT, which makes your OL not as talented overall.
Whitehair is average. Actually, he's probably on the lower end of average. And while it's admirable that he's played decently, you'd be paying a 31 year old, who has missed multiple games 2 of the last 3 years, a 14.1Mil cap hit. And while, I know cap isn't a problem, it's simply not a smart move to pay 14Mil for average play that is getting older.
Patrick is not only much cheaper, he's younger, will have fresher legs from missing a ton of time this year and again, knows the offense which was such a big key for the Bears this year. It shouldn't be an either/or with Whitehair anyway. If they get rid of both, I wouldn't complain. But logically speaking, Patrick hasn't done anything at the position he was brought in to play to show that the Bears should give up on him playing that position.
But C is NOT the biggest issue on the line. Again, that's looking at it too closed-minded. The biggest issue on the line is talent. Get talent and then figure out where to put them. Spending money on a C instead of say, a LG, means you are focusing on 1 singular position of a 5-man unit. You're also limiting the quality of player you can get if you're only looking for centers.
