So for all this "inditement of Jerry" that he's cutting his own picks - he isn't; Tim is, and Jerry is looking to either retire or move on from the GM position - either with the Bears or with another organization - and not have to make draft picks going forward.
Believe it or not, I always believed Jerry knew enough about the operations side of football that he'd make a decent Team President - just as long as he isn't the one picking and evaluating talent.
But like I have been telling people since the hiring of Ruskell - Tim is going to be the GM sooner rather than later, and according to Hub Arkush, who was on the Score with B&B - he essentially is the de-facto GM right now...


I found this on another board. This would be good news not that I am a huge fan of Ruskell, but anything is better than Angelo.

what he means is, JA was forced to turn those duties over to Ruskell, right? He's not doing it by his own choosing, is he?

I misread this as Tim Russert at first, but still thought he could make a better decision with our o-line in his present condition.

Could the chin get along w/Ruskell or does he draft DL every year too come hell or high water?

Looking at the present depth chart this team has tones of problems. Now I am wondering who signed off on this cluster.

if you look at the depth chart... you'll see we look REAL good at every position not related to the O-line.

O-line = Bad.

Everything else is looking pretty freakin good.

Just Curious though... care to throw out a few examples of how this team has a "ton" of problems...

Seems we have only ONE problem.... a pretty freakin huge one... but only one.
