Cedric Benson was a solid NFL player. He has 650 yards and 6 TDs on a team that went to the Super Bowl.
Mitch is now on a short list of total QB busts.

The kicker in the Benson pick is that the Bears already had Thomas Jones who they subsequently lost.

Benson ended up having 3 1000 yard seasons for the Bengals.

So if Mitchell goes on to have a few 3000 yard seasons for another team that would make him a good pick for the Bears?

No, but he wouldn’t be a terrible football player and at least Pace wouldn’t be a total clown for taking him.
At this moment he is a joke if he is benched before his rookie deal is done.

Trubisky was drafted that high b/c he was white, clean cut, and had a polish tough guy sounding name. He doesn't have "it," and never will. Unload this dogturd for a 5th round pick and let's move the F on with our lives.

And the Bears had to rid themselves of a better back already on the roster to make room for Benson to do the thick end of fuck all. Both horrendous high picks

Though the pledge, written by a socialist, ironically, was meant for everyone in order to build that "melting pot" of Americana, it doesn't jive with the America that was never America for me that Langston Hughes contrasted. So, though it was supposed to be for immigrants and Blacks as well as working class whites, it never ever mentions any egalitarian notions nor does it say anything other than loyalty to the flag and country, regardless of representation.
Again, this lack of a progressive, anti-racist, and egalitarian lens within the pledge is what makes many people say that it wasn't meant for those who are historically excluded from the seats of power.
I am not even going to go into the myth of the White Bribe as MLK described it in his speech at Alabama.
For me, I am just happy that I support a team that sided with the correct side of history against racism.
I have been a Urlacher fan since he played Monster Safety and was our first round draft pick. I am torn between my dedication to fighting racism and for a just egalitarian society versus decades spent rooting for a hero. The problem with heroes is it is an armor, and underneath it is a man. The man who is Urlacher is despicable. The football player I cheered for and hope my sons will one day emulate is the armor. Such a sad, ignorant, hate-filled man...

Urlacher...great football player and a short-sighted prisoner of the moment. He posted this shit on Instagram FFS. He needs to apologize stat to his former teammates for that BS, but only if he's sober.

I hope that he is sober and not dealing with substance abuse. I really hope that he was caught up in the moment and needs to deal with the issue in a concrete way. In the same way that he will deal with his issues, I, too, will deal with how I, as a human being who loathes racism, will watch a man grow. In the same way Halas evolved, others can too. Let's hop Urlacher does the same.

Living in Brazil, I haven't heard the story behind this.
Did the police find him a threat because he was carry a violin or because he was the leader of a gang of violin-loving cats?

And not to mention the context around the Mitch pick, the trade up & the QBs (with long resumes) who were skipped over. Th Mitch pick will eventually make it to the NFL Net top 10 draft busts count down.
