I have been ripped apart the last few days for always being negative. After long hours of thinking, I was finally able to come up with something positive. It’s time to give Jerry Angelo his props for building this Bears team. Come the off-season, I wanted him to sign Antwaan Randle-El, Adam Archuleta, and Eddie Drummond. I also wanted him to draft a TE with the Bears 1st draft pick.
He got none of them in FA. He traded the draft pick away instead of keeping it and taking Mercades Lewis. One draft day, he used the 1st 4 picks on the defense. He didn’t even take a TE. I was calling for his head. Turns out, Angelo knew what he was doing.
We had our speed WR (Randle-El) in BEARnard BEARian. We got our DB (Archuleta) in the Manning brothers (not actually brothers, but still). We got our KR/PR guy (Drummond) in Devin Hester. Mark Anderson is turning out to be a steal. He’s got 8 sacks in limited time. He’s turning out to be better than Mario Williams. If this keeps up, they might be crying bloody murder in Houston. 1st, they pass on Reggie Bush, and now this guy taken in the 5th round is better than this guy taken # 1 overall!!
He also went out and turned the Bears QB position into an area of strength, paying big bucks to sign Griese. Now if only Loive Smith would bench Grossman and play Griese. The way Lovie is handling this whole QB issue, I’m also starting to think that holding off on an extension for Lovie was a good idea. Mr. Angelo, I won’t doubt you again. Props
