That you, Pace? What are you doing on a magic football message board? Shouldn't you be in the office trying to figure out how to fix this mess you made?

Actually, I think the Jets looked better, and played harder than the Bears. The Niners almost beat Seattle. Houston and Cincy look bad. Cleveland looks like they are improving. So maybe it will be a race to the bottom with the Bears and the Jets.

It is the Jets, they will mess him up.
Jets might like having a super-promising young QB on their roster.

I'd agree with most of this. I don't know how good the conditioning staff is, but the injuries just keep piling up for the second year in a row. You have to change something. I'd fire Fox. I'd fire the entire training staff and start over.

Remember the Madden vision cone? Here is the equivalent of Giraffe's:

(It's actually narrower than that, since he doesn't see defenders.)

Its funny but I was thinking the same thing. For entertainment purposes. I like what the Raiders have been doing so I guess it will be fun watching the AFC West as there are some very good teams there plus KC and the Raiders have a great rivalry. I like Carr and if they can get past the penalties I think they go deep this year. So yeah, while the Bears try to figure out how to win 5 games or more why not...

Holy cow. Who's next man up? This team is bad and there are ton of IDP tackles to be had by someone.

I think the angle is:
September: I'm not starting the rookie QB until you force me to.
Mid-season: Now that the playoffs are out of the question, let's start the rookie QB.
December: You can't fire me. I played the rookie QB you forced me to play.

If I'm John Fox, would I even want to keep that job? I don't know that I would. That's a bad football team.

BUT MITCH MONEY WILL SAVE THEM!!!!!!!

This is true.
He signed a 3 year $45 million deal. With 18.5 million guaranteed. That was a helluva decision.

I don't know, maybe there is something to this 2 QB idea....
Didn't Fox see Glennon lay that monster block out of the wildcat formation last week to secure a TD? He may have created an all new position utilizing a QB who no one wants to see throw the damn ball...
Shutout

Glennon makes better decisions than the people who offered that contract.
I mena, generally, I don't really care one way or the other what the Bears do anymore. I just assume that somehow, someway, they will end up disappointing. But after watching this unfold, I can't help but ask "what the heck were you thinking?" They had to know they were going to offer everything in the world to move up so why give this kind of money to Glennon? OR, if you do really want Glennon, why go all in for Mitch when you look at one year down the road and you know there's a great QB class coming in?
The Bears are simply not good enough (nowhere near) to be hedging bets and covering themselves.

Sure, but even if he played the whole season and was bad, the bears aren't drafting a qb in the first next year.
I'm pretty confident that when Trubisky gets in, he will elevate the offense. Now, there's a ceiling on how much he can do that with the personnel he has at WR, but I think the whole tone of the season would change with him at QB. There would be optimism, rather than just resignation and pointlessness with Glennon.

When he started playing wouldn't affect their moves next year any. They decided he was the qb of the future when they drafted him at #2

Oh we're out of the qb market for the next few years. You pick a guy at 2 he's getting lots of chances and time.

I wish this hypothetical could actually play out. I'd love to see what he could have done better against that defense yesterday.

Pretty much everything. There's really nothing Trubisky can't do better than Glennon.

So if you guys get a top 3 pick are you going to draft one of the stud QB's?

I'm not why so many are up in arms over this start. Didn't everyone already know they were most likely going to lose the first four games of their schedule. I know I originally said I'd be happy if they managed to win just one of of these first four games. They should have done that in week one against the Falcons who just beat up on the Packers. We also all knew what Glennon was, he's just a place holder until Trubisky is ready. I think this is just another "Nothing to see here" type of instance for the Bears. I know I'm not all that surprised with the start, other than Howard's last performance.
