Every situation is a fluid mix of variables.
Should we trade Kyle?
1. If he is playing well.
2. The team sputters cuz of defense or Trubisky and falls out of hunt early
3. 3 of Morgan, Kush, whitehair, Daniels are playing near his level.
If those 3 points are happening about week 8 you ask around

You can't be racist towards white people. You know that's entirely unpossible rite?

I would be willing to wager that you are one of three people in all of Albuquerque that believes as such.

Long has done nothing but what the Bears asked of him.....he is a very good guard. He was asked to move to tackle...he did it. As a tackle, he is a very good guard. He moved back to guard, got injured....Bears asked him to play injured. He forced their hand and got a new contract, good for him. A player uses leverage to make money. He continued to play injured because the Bears asked him to. He could have sat out the season and got healthy, but he played because he was asked. 3 surgeries later he is now ready to go for the season.
As for his video game playing....he is a man child...but on his own time. I have never heard of him missing playing time or scheduled activities because of video games.....even NFL players are allowed to have personal lives....this notion that he should be footballing instead of video gaming is meatball fan shit.....if you don't like his twitch stream or twitter don't look at it.

Thanks.
As you probably know from all of my previous work on this fine website...I am infallible. So get on board, buddy!
FACT: Jon Gruden is getting paid way too much money to throw draft picks at gimpy linemen.
FACT: Howie Long is no longer employed by Radio Shack
FACT: Kyle's trade value was much higher when he was making the Pro Bowl
FACT: Kyle has played more hours of video games than football.
FACT: The Bears did give Kyle "literally millions of dollars".
So where did I lose you???

He's never been more then above average, and it's been a while since he's even been that. He's one of the most over rated players I've ever seen. His tough guy meatball act wore thin about 3 years ago. He's a supposed leader who just last training camp got into multiple fights with players on both sides of the ball.
Personally, I think the Bears would be much better if they moved on from him.

You going to tell us what we are trading him for? Would probably help me decide if I think we should trade him.

I have never heard Long called a leader or positioned as one for the most part. I'd say he is a mentor of younger players, but he is not and hasn't been the face of the franchise.
Long has been injured, but when healthy is not simply just above average.

[FONT="]The Bears’ defensive upgrades earned deserved praise this off-season. However, moving Long back to guard from the right tackle spot he played in 2015 could be as critical a change as anything else. That is, if presumed starting tackles Charles Leno and Bobby Massie hold up well enough to allow Long to stick there—at least in Leno’s case, there are ample reasons for worry. But Long was a second-team All-Pro as an interior lineman back in ’14, and that is the spot where he A) is better and B) seems more comfortable. Long did not allow a single sack during the ’14 season as a guard; he coughed up nine on the outside in ’15, per STATS. In either spot he can be counted on in the run game, due to how well he moves for a 315-pounder. Long’s size, length and athleticism all combined to make him an OT candidate when the Bears needed one. They’re also all part of why he is exceptional as a guard.

- ND is horrible.
He isn't 30, he isn't even 29.5, lol.
I am not trying to be that guy, but folks accelerate ages around here 1 yr all the time to make their points more salient. He will be 29 through most of this season, 30 next season. I don't think you could get much for him; I prefer to sit and see how he does as a 29 yr old this season, and then proceed in a rational way.
He got a lot of rest between last season and the offseason and addressed a bunch of stuff; let's see if his body has recovered and looks good. If he plays 13+ games and looks like the old OG we knew and loved, then i'm looking for him to be here a few more yrs if the contract makes sense. I could easily see him playing 4 more yrs at a high level if his body got taken care of.

I think Long should fight Nichols this year so they can be best friends after.

With his age and injury history you would obviously take anything to get out of the contract. Not likely to receive any offers for those reasons though.
