The only way I keep him is as you put it in your last sentence. To justify that, he's gotta be productive as a returner and we need to find another receiving option to supplant him on the depth chart. I'm still tempted to take the damn 5th round pick.

Yeah, I guess it comes down to how he plans to be used after this year, which will depend on who's the HC. BTW I see you're in Scottsdale. Are you going to the game Sunday, being so close?

Ill be there yes. Along with a ton of other transplanted Chicagoans. I'm sure the stadium will be easily 50% bears fans. I'm just a lot less enthusiastic about this game than I was 4-6 weeks ago.

Exactly. And it helps being in the same system for years. The Packers, as an organization, do a lot of things right. The Bears seem like they can never quite get it right. The Bears are their own worst enemy, shooting themselves in the foot - year after year and decade after decade.

You'd think after all the years of shoting oneself in the foot, they both would have been cut off by now. Why can't they ever shot at their feet and mess up, as bad as they do with the team, and get a head shot.

This is the first time since JA has been here that we have a new direction with both George and the GM gone. The president is still here, but I believe he mostly handles the finances, but not sure.

Don't know how much having Ted stay will cause the club to keep going down the same path, but I am hoping that with both George and Emery there now that we can start to pave a new road.

That is why I am so excited about the off-season. The changes that happen now could mean more than any players they draft. It could determine a whole new direction and sttitude. Either good or bad. These quite frankly are exciting times. I am hopeful that Emery will fulfill what many of the fans have been wanting -- a club that wants to win and is given the means to win.

We are divided in terms of what that means in terms of the present HC, but I think that whatever Emery does, he will have the fan base behind him. And whatever he does, I hope it works, because if people don't really like what he does and it goes south, it could get a little warm for him too. People want to see success.
