Couple of questions for the Bears fans.
1 - is there anything the Bears can do now (or next month) to make you feel better about the teams direction?
2 - is there anything you can do in the next month (or decade) that will make the team better?
3 - is there any reason to complain over and over again about the same thing?
1) Honestly not ####### much in my opinion. We had some drastic holes at WR, S, and CB, there were players who could have really solidified or at least put some big upside at those positions, like they did with ILB last season, they identified a major hole on the team and grabbed one of the best FA's to start filling that, and then got a great value player later in FA to finish it off. This year all they did was bring in some vets at the end of their careers and back-ups. I don't think anyone really believes the WR or S they have signed so far gives us anything more then a short term patch or backup. I will say I'm ok with the Prince signing, but it's definitely more of the value player rather then a top tier player.
2) Sure, there are still some things they can do to make it a little better, there are probably some more value players at our need positions, and some top tier players at positions where we already have starters but can always use depth, like NT. Then hopefully they can continue what looks to be a pattern of above average drafting.
3) They keep ####### up, and I'm sure we'll keep complaining. I don't usually see myself as one of the more complaining fans on here, but after hearing them talk about how they have the resources to make this team better this offseason, then they do very little to open up FA this year, unlike the last two years, man, I think you gotta be pissed and want to say something. Do you really look at the last two days and feel to yourself that "wow, this is a good start to the year???". Man I sure can't. We had holes and we had money, and I don't see any move that they made over the last two days that makes us that much "better" as a team in the long term. Do you? On most top 100 FA lists we weren't able to get anyone in the top 30 this year. I really don't know why, didn't want to play for the bears, we weren't offering as much, something else? I don't know, but we targeted good players and couldn't sign any of them, I don't see how you can turn that into a positive.
