Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

Devin Hester was paid like a #1 receiver but he's more of a KR/PR specialist.

Bears haven't had a big-time receiver in years.

Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

what? that is an absolute steal! Marshall showed how good he can be with a real QB in pro Bowl. That dude has not had a real QB in years

Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

That is huge for the bears. Been a while since Cutler had a dependable monster of a wide receiver. Should produce some dividends paired with their rushing attack.

Agree that it's an absolute steal. Some familiarity with his new qb as well.

Miami much less of a threat without Marshall, even if they do sign Manning. No #1 WR to go alongside of Peyton now if he signs there.

Peyton/Marshall would have been absolutely lethal.

Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

exactly

you dont deal marshall so you can sign a bunch of vets

wayne woulda been a number 2. having him as the 1 doesnt seem too appealing
 
Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

Shhhh, we don't want to upset Kinger now, do we?

The cap room was cleared so Miami can sign Manning, Wayne, and Saturday.
:cheers

also, they knew that Marshall wouldn't be able to get along with Manning. The whole thing was done as an incentive for Manning to join the Dolphins.

Manning didn't want to play with the nitwit

I agree, although I believe Miami won this. Time and again teams with with players with good character, Miami shipped off a bad character guy, and got 2 draft picks. Well done by Miami.

:shoot:

Yeah, that's what people said when Oakland traded Moss to the Pats too. The Bears have strong leadership - some of the strongest in football. Not only that, but Cutler loves Marshall and has said so countless times.

No doubt the Dolphins did this to go all-in for Manning. Manning wants his guys, or someone like Fitz - anyone that thinks that Peyton gives a shit about DeMaryus Thomas is kidding themselves.

Dolphins did this to open up cap space to sign Wayne and Manning.

It's a steal for the Bears because the Dolphins needed to move him quickly. Only way it's a + for the Phins is if they get Manning.

The Bears don't need Marshall? Jesus Christ, maybe watch the team and games before commenting. Cutler has no receivers - the Bears have the worst receiving core in football easily.

Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

bears have good defense they got a good WR maybe they need a better QB and sign Peyton
they would definately make the playoffs and go even farther chicago needs something to go heads up with green bay because they know they have no chance with green bay
 
Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

Brandon Marshall is very inconsistent. Over the last couple years he dropped 5+ touchdown passes. On one play against the Jets I believe on MNF he simply ran out of bounds for no reason with a wide open field ahead of him. I put as much stock into player stats in the Pro Bowl as I do in preseason. It's meaningless.

That said, I think his previous relationship with Cutler will help keep him in line and he should be productive for Chicago. As for Miami, the guy was involved in all types of off-field garbage like getting stabbed by his wife and then coming out with a personality disorder. It should be a win-win trade for both teams.
 
Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

Some good posts by TH here. Bears were 7-3 with Cutler. Now they have a #1 receiver, their best OL back from injury, Forte back from injury. They need another pass rusher to go with Peppers.

It wouldn't matter if Cutler had 4 all-pro WR's to throw too he ain't getting any better.

Just watch

Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

I love how people forget how much people are paid with a cap. All depends on what Miami does with the cash and who they get with the picks. Marshall not as dynamic as most think. No problem getting rid of him as a Miami fan, but they need to replace him with some type of speed at wide. Could be a cheap upgrade.

Here is a possible reason why Miami gave Marshall up so cheap. If true, Marshall will be suspended.


[h=1]NFL receiver Marshall 'slugs' woman at Chelsea nightclub[/h]

The “Beast” has lived up to his nickname, a woman alleges.
NFL star wide receiver Brandon Marshall — whose list of run-ins with the law is as long as a football field — allegedly slugged the woman at a Chelsea nightclub, The Post has learned.
Marshall was at Marquee early Sunday when he got into an argument with a group of friends celebrating a birthday, law-enforcement sources said.
Around 4 a.m., birthday girl Christin Myles, 24. left an upper floor to greet a friend downstairs.
When Myles tried to get back upstairs, a bouncer told her she had to wait because there was a fight between two football players — Marshall, 27, and an unknown athlete — who were being thrown out of the club, the sources said.
She later met up with her friends, who were arguing with the NFL bad boy and the other football player outside.
Marshall — who earned his nickname with his aggressive style of play — then allegedly cold-cocked Myles in the left eye. She suffered a black eye. It wasn’t clear if he allegedly intended to strike her or one of her pals.
Myles filed a police report.
A lawyer for Marshall — who was traded by the Miami Dolphins yesterday to the Chicago Bears — told The Post that the fight did not involve Marshall or his friends.
“While attempting to leave to avoid the melee [Marshall’s wife] was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered serious injury.
While attempting to leave and take his wife to the hospital, the mayhem continued outside. Mr. Marshall is hoping to assist authorities in regards to this matter."
Police said the only report filed about that night names Marshall as a perpetrator.
Marshall’s rep declined to deny whether he threw a punch or say whether he attempted to file a police report about his wife’s injuries.
Sources said the Bears weren’t aware of the incident.
The melee came less than a year after Marshall was rushed to a Florida hospital after his wife allegedly stabbed him.
Marshall, who’s been busted at least six times, was involved in a New Year’s Eve 2006 fight in Denver that led to a teammate being fatally shot in a drive-by.

He should be exonerated and the Bears knew about the incident at the time of the trade.

What does this say about the bears....The jets of the mid way:btj:

What? :shoot:

The Bears have terrific leadership in their locker room and their coach is maybe the best "chemistry" guy in the business. He's also the exact opposite of a guy like Rex Ryan.

I've noticed a lot of people recently have been using the word "core" in place of "corps," especially when talking about the WR corps. The word "core" means "the central, innermost, or most essential part of anything." Corps, on the other hand, means "a group of persons associated or acting together."
The word "corps" has been used often when describing units on a football team, much like it's used to describe the Marine Corps. Many people mistake the word for "core" because they are pronounced the same way, making them homophones.

Bears need help at the position, confusing to me because they typically ship out troubled players, not bring it in....

Re: Brandon Marshall is a Bear!

Cutler could definitely get more help at receiver because he has not ever really been given enough talent to throw to.That being said i don't know if Cutler and Marshall will get along well enough together because they both have had some issues in the past as far as getting along with teammates or just talking too much so it will be very interesting indeed to see if they can get along.If they are able to get along and work together well thenBrandon Marshall will easily become a great target for Cutler.I like the Bears picking up Marshall if him and Cutler can make it work then they will be a great combo especially with Forte in the backfield and Hester shaking things up.The Bears are already pretty good on defense.I think things are definitely looking up for Chicago.I think the Bears will surprise some people next season.
