I always hated the HOF perspective on that. It’s 33% of the game, and you’re going to tell me that just because the player may not have “excelled” at a skilled position that they didn’t do enough? A kicker, punter and long snapper all have one job and they command roster spots for that reason. Why are returners looked over unless they did things in addition to the return game?
Peppers was really good for us despite being past his prime. Jared Allen was a ghost.
Haven’t they been through enough? Cmon, let them have it.
Bears, take notes.
Imagine getting a call from a child dealing with a life altering diagnosis, telling you they are your fan. I hope they can get to a game and he gets to meet Stone.
Also, the dad got laid off and the mom drives for Uber?? What a terrible time in their lives. I hope Stone was able to help them smile a bit.
It’s like when your kid goes to college, you’ll see him a couple times a year to catch up. But, you know he’s going on to do great things.
So many people are calling or Jim Harbaugh to the Bears. Please give us Ben Johnson instead (sorry Lions bros).
Unfortunately, I agree. I hope if he does get traded somewhere else, he is succcessful.
Most people in the Bear’s sub have been making noise about Jim Harbaugh, but Ben Johnson is probably the best choice. The rapport with his players, what other coaches say about him, his pedigree for coaching with Tight Ends, Wide Receivers, QBs, and now OC with the results he’s delivered are top notch.
This is going to sound so cheesy - I like the kid as a person. I want him to be successful. I think he carries himself well on and off the field. His support of Bagent during his injury is just further proof of that. I hope he returns to his form against the Commanders and Broncos and remains consistent. It would be good for him and good for the team. If he’s not consistent, I don’t see how the Bears move forward with him. I think he gets another year regardless, but whether or not the Bears take a QB depends on his performance.
Honestly, I kind of sympathize with the GM here. Your owner and ‘consultant’, really narrowed in on one head coach. But from the beginning if you had total control, I’m calling the Ravens about their QB coach and OC for Head Coach. Task number 1: turn JF into Lamar Jackson.
He’S a SyStEm QuArTeRbAcK!
