He was top 10 in the league in receptions and yards this year, and wasn't far from that last year, either. And that's with Chicago's quarterback situation. Hard to imagine anyone else on the team is capable of that kind of production, nor is it likely they could acquire similar production in free agency or the draft.Is he that good?
Sounds like the bloom is off the rose in Chicago.........
‘Everything’s on the table’ as free-agent WR Allen Robinson weighs leaving Bears
He once said he hoped to stick around long enough to be one of the franchise’s all-time greats. Now, after a year of fruitless contract negotiations, Robinson is fully prepared to leave in free agency.chicago.suntimes.com
"Wide receiver Allen Robinson, the only consistently good thing about the Bears’ offense, is prepared to find a new home as an unrestricted free agent in March."
It's not David, it's their garbage line. Plus Nagi wasn't giving him touches until he turned play calling over to the o line coach.David was awesome this year, and is definitely on an upward trajectory, but he needs another year like this year before I'd call him consistent.
I thoroughly disagree. I’m not a bears fan but what in the world would tell you that he wouldn’t be? He did what he did last year behind a GARAGE offensive line and play calling that at times made zero sense. If he can hit 1K yards with that, there is no reason to believe he can’t again unless you think he’s going to get hurt. I mean that’s possible but we as Cyclone fans know more than anyone it won’t because he didn’t train and do everything in his power to have his body more than ready to go. He might have some freak injury but David’s consistency has always been one of his greatest assets.David was awesome this year, and is definitely on an upward trajectory, but he needs another year like this year before I'd call him consistent.
The NFL is absolutely full of players who had similar "breakout" seasons and then never again lived up to it. The Bears have several of them in their history. James Allen, Rashaan Salaam, Marcus Robinson, etc. Not to mention other recent examples like Jay Ajayi or David Johnson.I thoroughly disagree.

Agreed. Forgive me if I was abrasive. David is one of my all time favs and in my mind a mf’ing dude among dudes. Even if he plays for the god forsaken bears.The NFL is absolutely full of players who had similar "breakout" seasons and then never again lived up to it.

I am by no means was saying that DM is not good, his performance this year was anything less than extraordinary, or that I think his production will fall off next year. I'm saying that I don't consider "consistency" part of his game just yet. Can he do it? Of course. And I think and hope he will, but this was his breakout year. We'll have to see if he can follow up
I'm just happy Bears didn't end up with Wentz - not that Pace & Nagy didn't try. I really have no great insight because if Pace & Nagy weren't already lame ducks, Nagy's offseason of coaching hires/promotions hasn't exactly instilled a sense of optimism either.
- But yes, sign A-Rob already. He has been surprisingly dependable and productive no matter what terrible QB performances Bears had to endure.
- I don't think Pace would have it in him to trade for Watson, that'd be too directly admitting his epic Trubisky trade-up mistake.
- Get James Daniels healthy again, and make a splash with a veteran OT free agent signing
- Keep David in Chicago.
- Let Foles get an offseason to prepare for the first half of the season, and draft a hopeful QB to take over. I really don't know what the heck Nagy is trying for in QB style, so idk who makes sense between Jones, Trask, Lance? Just draft one so we have a promising young QB under control when a new HC takes over in 2022.
^ This is so much the case. I am not even a Bears fan but I can’t count the amount of times I would want to throw the remote when Nagy would put Patterson in to run into the backs of his offensive linemen for maybe a yard.It's not David, it's their garbage line. Plus Nagi wasn't giving him touches until he turned play calling over to the o line coach.
