Miller is undisciplined.  And not just the punch the other guy, but also route running.  That is his problem, not where he is supposed to be when he is supposed to be there.  If a QB cant trust the WR to be in a spot how can he throw to him?  I'm done with Miller.  I like Ridley, he is supposed to be a very good route runner, but he is in someones dog house, as they never let him play.  On the rare chance he gets, he always seems to do well.

That’s simply not true at all.

Miller has been known for his route running since his days at Memphis. It was one of his strengths prior to the draft.

As far as the “punch”, it was a bullshit call and everyone knows it. It wasn’t even a punch as much as it was a shove, and there are always much more egregious actions that aren’t called...in every game.

Get him a QB that will look his way, and he’s a 1000 yard receiver.

If we are trading for someone (within reason), he’s actually the guy I’d like most...pending cost, of course. He’s still only 23, and has all the tools.

Honestly, I haven’t watched him much at all as a pro...after all, he’s a Jet. Who watches them? I do remember him lighting it up at the Rose Bowl, though...

I hope they keep Miller, he's got talent, and sign another veteran receiver because of the Wims/Ridley lack of production.

Darnold ha as much talent as anyone out there.  He takes stupid chances because he's a competitor and since he has so little help.........

If they were to give up one or more picks no higher than the 3rd round I would be ok with that.

I want someone who will take chances downfield.

I'm tired of watching QB's throw 2 yard checkdown passes on 3rd and long!

Thats your guy alright. I like interceptions too but not Bears QBs being intercepted. Thats a turnover machine.

you guys sound crazy talking about trading Foles, no GM in the league is going to take on that contract.

Foles remaining contract is a base of 2/12.

That is not horrible for a backup at all.

Darnolds original rookie deal has 1 yr left, Minshew has 2 yrs left.

Minshew is also getting paid 300k less salary.  Both on rookie deals and are cheap in comparison to vet QB's. 

Let's face it Bears cannot afford a Watson or Carr.  Not unless they unload Mack, Fuller and Hicks.  Definitely do not have enough money to sign ARob and bring in vet QB.

One of the rookie contract guys makes most sense to try and make one last run with our defense.  Our key defensive guys are getting older 2 year window max.

On Miller watch the tape never lies.  He always trying to make 1 hand catch when he could use 2.  Never blocks downfield for RB.  Not team player.  Sometimes its addition by subtraction.  I fully believe we would be better team without him.  I also believe the same about Wims.

Salary Cap details.  This year understanding the cap just as important as everything else.

I think we do cut all of these guys.  Hicks would definitely hurt but if you want to keep ARob going to have to make painful decisions.  I see us having a rookie RT starting.

Would not be surprised to see the draft go like this:

Rd 1  RT
Rd 2  DT
Rd 3  WR

As long as the Bears don't give up long term assets (draft picks) the next regime will at least have a chance not having to dig themselves out of a huge hole.....

After really researching our cap situation.  Ownership really f'ed up not making GM/coaching change this year.  We are in a bad situation with aging players and no cap space.  The Quinn deal was a killer, really bad signing.

We only have 5 draft picks and a lot of holes to fill.  I really do not think we have any hope of being anything but mediocre for next few years.
