Contract years and good QBs can have a way of changing some of that stuff.

Don’t forget the constant running his mouth and talking about feeling disrespected, the only people being disrespected are his teammates by his dogshit effort

Well if those are the necessary prerequisites to him being a pro then fuck any new contract

Well yea, that's the thing. If he comes into this year and balls out to the tune of something like 80 catches for 1,000+ yards and 6-8 TDs, what do you do? Do you still consider him a bum who benefitted from a good QB and put in extra effort in a contract year, or do you think he "figured it out" and extend him?

Personally I’d already have cut him. I hate him as a player, he makes me a meatball

He wouldn't be the first player to be something of a diva but really good with some good QB play (if he would happen to figure it out like I had noted). But hey, if you'd prefer to cut him loose then that's cool.

To what end? Ridley offers nothing as a WR. He is Miller without the attitude or pedigree.
This is a guy that was never productive in college and hasnt been productive in the NFL. He simply sucks.

If it clicks for Miller his ceiling is probably Earl Bennett. It's looking pretty unlikely at this point and he probably won't develop the sure hands, but the athletic profile seems similar.

I don’t think Miller is a typical NFL diva, he isn’t a good enough player.
I certainly understand the point you’re making regarding the decision if he improves but as I said he pushes my buttons so it’s a fuck him from me ?

Of the backup band, Miller was the only one with hope, but he couldn't get his head or his hands together.
Going forward, its Mooney and Kmet and possibly Robinson, but likely somebody signed in his place.
I hope Dazz shows a little sizzle in his rookie year that would be a nice surprise.
The rest of the names are just that.. names.
Bears should be able to piece together a decent WR group when they replace Robinson next season and will need to fill out the back end of the roster.

I think Miller ends up throwing a tantrum because he doesn’t think he’s getting the ball enough in his contract year…

My point isn't that Ridley is some superstar in the making. Its More so that he deserves a true shot. Afterall we did invest a 4th round pick on him. . Why can't we give him a true opportunity to prove himself with consistent play time?
Some guys are just gamers and turn on a different level when the lights are on. Look no further than his performance on the biggest stage in the college football, the 2018 national championship against Alabama.
Why do we continue to give chances to Wims and Miller so much? They've had their shots and haven't done much. We should have already moved off Wims and traded Miller. We also should know more about Ridley at this point. I've quoted the stats somewhere on this board in the past, but Ridley has a higher catch percentage per snap than both Miller and Wims.

I see Kmet having a big year. To me, he showed big time progress at the end of the season and looked like a top 10 TE in the league.

I am not sure why Ridley hasn’t gotten more of a chance. But it is unlikely that it is ever coming.
Miller has draft pedigree and a ton of talent on his side.
Goodwin and Byrd have an elite skill and have been productive NFL players.

Why are people talking as if whims will be here? I know they didn't replace his height but certainly replaced him in terms of talent.

Probably worth questioning whether they replaced him in terms of run blocking and ST, that seems to be where the majority of his value lies

He played 60 special teams snaps AKA 13% of them. Only 28% of the offensive snaps so his run blocking isn't anything worth keeping him for. He only played so much at the end of the year because Trubisky was so ineffective throwing down the field, Miller was ineffective in general, and Mooney got hurt. The Bears don't have enough offensive firepower to keep a skill player for run blocking and special teams.

Miller's career averages per season in yards and TDs are higher than Byrd's and Goodwin's combined in both categories.

I've already drafted Monty as my #2 RB in multiple mocks i've done. I have no issue with him as my #2 RB at all.
