Angelo May Retire

Longtime Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo could retire this offseason based at least in part on how the season ends, multiple general managers and executives from other teams have told me at various times this season.

Not a tease, my friend. The article reads that it depends on how the season ends. My question is: will it take a successful or failed season for him to retire?

If a successful season is needed, I'm about to continue cheering my a** off every game for victories. If a failed season is needed, I may have to go against EVERYTHING that I believe in & hope my beloved Bears lose.

Please please please please let us get a new gm after this season. Someone who will draft Floyd, Jeffrey or Reiff in the first round. Btw I like Dwight jones if we can get him in the third

Well a failed season to me is one in which we don't make the playoffs and that will surely happen now that the Falcons and Lions have moved ahead of us but Angelo can always point to Cutler going down as a built in excuse. The truth is he went into this season without giving Cutler enough weapons at WR or protection on the line. I think I've used the names of guys like Wolfe, Bazuin, and Haynes to let you know how I feel about JA as a college talent evaluator.

I hope whoever replaces him is on the same page with Lovie

I hope its not Ruskell. Ruskell is worse than Angelo.

I'd rather keep Angelo than have Ruskell take over. Having said that, please retire Jerry!

Just wait until Angelo retires only for there to be a long lost McCaskey sibling that will take over.

Basically. We need a breath of fresh air at GM. One who knows which players deserve the pay day, and which ones dont.

Precisely!

Based on the absolute ineptitude of the offense which is downright "offensive" right now, it would suggest that we may very well get a new GM. We stand a good chance of losing all three games, and at the very least 2 out 3.

Hopefully we will focus on improving and upgrading via the draft and free agency on the offensive side of the ball ( #1 WR and quality o-linemen).

The defense is playing very well, but you can not solely depend on defense to win games. We must be able to score more than 10 or13 point ( and more around at least 21) a game win against the likes of Green Bay or the Saints to possibly advance to any Superbowl aspirations.

If I were GM I would:
Extend Forte's contract.
Extend Jennings, Louis and Clutts.
Draft Floyd, Adcock, Jones and Brewster with the first four picks. Draft for depth at ol, de, cb with the rest.
Sign a lb who could compete with Roach.
Replace Kellen Davis.
Replace Idonije.

Not as sure on Louis. Last year was really bad and two weeks ago he gave up 5 (!) sacks and last week had at least two false starts. He was just starting to shine before that but now I'm down on him again.

I'm fine with Kellen Davis.

Next year we can slide Spencer to C and Louis to RG.
I would also look at extending Cutler, Urlcaher, Tillman and Chris Williams since they'd be going into the last year of their contracts.
Also re-sign Melton, DJ Moore and Craig Steltz.
Not sure about Wootton yet.

Although I agree that Spencer should be playing his natural position of Center, our Guard situation is a little more complicated. Remember that Garza is currently our starting C, so if we move Spencer there we're gonna have an extra guard. Either Garza & Louis are our starters, meaning Chris Williams shouldn't be extended. Or we extend Williams & let either Louis or Garza go. I don't think that we should pay three starter-type guards when that money can be used elsewhere.

I think Garza will be gone. Louis and Williams are both more talented and much younger. If we draft Brewster he can eventually replace Spencer

Hopefully, our new GM will sort it all out. :pray:
