Yeah, losing Whitworth, Von Miller, OBJ, Michel, and not having Van Jefferson this year has really hurt their overall talent level.
Montgomery to Rams?
- Thread starter ruxCYtable
- Start date
Plus it's SUPER cheap in Chicago. Illinois is known for low low taxes.....
You can’t get Bears fan opinions on Bears offense. They are too close to it to realize how bad the offense has been for nearly 4 decades. When I lived there from ‘02-‘15 I grew to really detest Bears fans. They truly always think they have the talent to be good on offense when they are nowhere near having it, and even if they have the best defense in NFL they’ll blame the defense for losses.
Forte succeeded in spite of that offense, not because they were doing great things. It was elite special teams, elite D and Forte…along with the worst offensive talent and coaching in the NFL.
For the 8 millionth time. We get it, you don't like living there.
They're so bereft of talent and they will need to give Fields a contract even if he isn't proven yet so I think this is the right move. They weren't keeping a lot of these guys long term anyway so you just as well go get a bunch of guys on rookie deals and try and build that way. DM is a good NFL running back but he's not the secret to their success. Essentially right now, the NFL is divided into two groups: teams acquiring all the really good players hoping to do what the Rams did, and teams trying to dump their stars to acquire picks to build a team to get in the position to go grab those few stars to do what the Rams did.
I wouldn't mind seeing David on another team, but I think he's more important to the Bears than fans realize.
Who do the Rams have besides Kupp? Bears have much better running backs. Have you watched the Rams this year? Stafford is really bad. I think he lead the NFL in interceptions last year and he's really gone downhill. Allen Robinson is Julio Jones level washed up.
It's not as big of a difference than you think. I hate to bring facts into the equation but the Bears are putting up more points than the Rams.
Stafford is on the downhill slide but a comparison to Garapollo is asinine.
Moving from Chicago to LA myself…the property tax rates are lower and I save about $1000 a year on various nonsense connected to owning/parking a vehicle. They really do nickel and dime you to death in Chicago. Property values increases over the recent years is a slam dunk for socal too. Not bagging on Chicago because I loved lots about it, It just really isn’t the dream location for some financial reasons.
Actually I wasn't taking a shot at Chicago. But I can see why you'd see it that way.
This is the worst take of the thread, good luck on baiting someone with it.
@Bigman38, keep dumbing me but facts are facts. Actually, looming deeper Stafford has more Int's than Tds this year and their backs average 3.4 ypc. Their offense sucks badly, I dont know why you are disagreeing with me. This isn't 2021 where GB, Tampa, and LA are high powered offenses. All three of those teams are struggling big time on offense.
What am I wrong about? Rams are disaster. Regardless, how are they so much better than Chicago when the Bears average 19ppg and Rams average 16? You don't believe in facts?
The Bears should move him if they can get a draft pick or 2 out of it as he is a free agent at end of season and I doubt they are going to resign him with Herbert in the wings to take over at RB.
Its crazy how the NFL trade deadline hardly ever generated much buzz but the past year or 2 we are seeing a lot more bigger names traded at the deadline than in years past. Felt like it used to be just some minor depth deals or salary dumps in the past mostly but this year we've seen players that are some of the best at their position traded that will have big impacts on playoff races.

It's usually a bunch of maybes and then there's one trade that matters. This year you've had McCaffery, Hockensen, Smith, and I'm probably missing one more. There's still rumors of quite few more, kind of has a baseball trade deadline feel to it this year. Love it.
I think he's locked in as a solid backup next year regardless of the next 8 weeks.
