***OFFICIAL*** Bears 2020 Training Camp thread

[WestCoastBearsFan]

In 2013 they had Marshall, Jeffery and Hester with Bennett at TE.

Marty B in 2013 is better than any TE on the roster but I think Robinson + Miller + a 3rd option > Marshall + Jeffery + Hester.

This thing is in the bag for Mitch. Told everyone from the beginning

Marshall > Robinson....Jeffery > Miller......

Earl Bennet was the number 3

Not really much of a debate here....

Agreed, but saying that Foles has never been in this offense is not accurate. Maybe not the Nagy "Chicago Bears version", but he was with Nagy in Kansas City. After that he was with Doug Petersen (same offense) in Philly.
He has worked with Bill Lazor, John DiFillippo, And Matt Nagy before this year. So, don't try to paint Foles as being at a disadvantage, cause he isn't.
Foles is here to push 10. Foles is here cause he knows the offense. Foles is here as insurance. He will not see a down if Trubs plays well/ stays healthy...

I get what your saying but in reality Matt Nagys offense has never looked like KC or Phillys offense. I see similar formations/concepts, but I’m sure verbally it’s a lot different. Although he has worked with all those coaches before, he’s never worked with the players and that plays a big role.

Mitch looks better! He knows the water boys, etc. He's more comfortable. And he's young and stiff. Practice ain't shit.

Hidden messages? Redacted like a white house release.

Mitch chokes in live games, not training camp...lol.

Besides, Mitch has been in this exact offense for two years and with many of the same players.

Mitch has also driven the team down the field and scored or put us in field goal range multiple times at the end of the 4th quarter. He did it in the Philly playoff game but of course we got the double doink. He just needs to get good/great and then stay at that level on a consistent basis throughout games and week after week.

That's one hell of a big IF!

I don't until they do it. Marshal made 6 Pro Bowls and was nobody's favorite son. I love AR but he's made 1. Jeffrey is better than Miller until Miller finally settles into this O and puts up some #s. Hester sucked but we don't even know who to compare him to yet.

Didn't we have Earl Bennett on that team as well? Too lazy to look it up.

 

[Burque]

Darnell Mooney has me kind of excited. If Miller stays healthy, and Mooney can develop to a reliable #3 we have a legit WR room for the next couple years. When was the last time the Bears were 3 deep at WR?

We are always at least three deep at wide receiver.

 

[Urblock]

Nothing to worry about. One game or maybe two. That's it. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[iueyedoc]

Why do you have such a hard on for Trubisky? The dude is slightly looking better then Foles, who has never worked in this offense before.

Right?

The organization wouldn't even exercise Mitchell's option...lol.

Why would anyone cape so hard?

Why does every guy that has given up on Mitch, hate those that haven't? It's like you are personally offended that I read that Mitch has been better than Foles and don't immediately make up an alternate reality or find excuses why this is happening or agree with those that do.

As for Foles vs Mitch, of course I would prefer the younger, bigger upside, Bears draftee over the aging middling rent-a-QB. How could any Bears fan not?

Last week it was, "Foles was signed because he knows this offense."
This week it is, " well of course Trubiksy is outplaying him, this is a whole new offense for Foles."
Tribalism is stupefying.

Because Foles can throw the ball inbounds?

 

[JoJoBoxer]

OK but that response has nothing to do with Mooney doing well making it so. Ridley will either step up or not but that pick's success is not dependent on Mooney. Nothing wrong with having 4 capable WRs.

Can anyone name a team that had 4 WRs that were really good at the same time? I recall the Vikings with Carter, Moss and Jake Reed at the same time one year. Reed was very underrated.

I am not talking about RB and TEs being added as really good receivers or the 49ers would probably have 4.

Not too often and still don't get what it has to do with making one of them a wasted draft pick, especially when he was taken in the back of the 4th round.

And it's early. Why the premature leveraging? Won't affect a thing. When Ridley was drafted, we had a speed guy. When Mooney was taken, we didn't and it was a big need going into this draft. So much so that Pace doubled up with Ginn.

You have to admit that it was an impressively fast (and shameless) 180, even by the lofty standards of CCS.

 

[IBleedBearsBlood]

Light practice today? No practice yesterday.

lol...the season starts in 3 weeks and there's no preseason. Way to prep, Nagy.

Yet they are dropping like flys.

greatest show on turf had Ricky Proehl as their #4, who was good enough to start for us at one point!
