I wanted him to be "The" guy, I was rooting for him, I was sipping the Kool aid & buying all the excuses and just could not wrap my head around why he was soo... average. Now, after watching him QB the leagues worst or 2nd worst D in the league he looks awful, not average, not below average, he just looks lost. While I'm still not ready to write him off entirely as a bust, I need to see more. The more I watch him though, the more I'm starting to think he may have cost us a shot or 2 @ the SB. Inquiring minds want to know. Keep this thread going imho. Bears fans know a thing or two about how a great linebacker is supposed to look. They’ve been spoiled. “Our linebackers are bad. Reallllly bad.” When I read that on their boards I laughed, don’t know why. But genuinely laughed. They’re not happy with Edmunds or the other signing, TJ Edwards. But at least he signed for a modest amount. Edmunds… ouch. I feel for them. Okay maybe I don’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it even more interesting is that his replacement who few had high hopes for has already matched Edmunds single season sack and interception records, and is on pace to break his tackle record as well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how that goes... Let Him Walk, he is going to cost way too much to resign and we are 31 million over the salary cap in 2024 with just 42 players signed as we stand right now. Beane has stretched out his ability to restructure contacts. We most definitely will no be able to restucture our way out of next years salary cap situation. it makes complete sense to go into next years draft and find a cost controlled WR capable of becoming a #1 playing the part of our #2 until Diggs retires or loses a step. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he wasn’t at 100 percent. But while he does come free, the rush in itself just doesn’t seem to have the twitch or urgency needed considering who is throwing the football.” Exactly what I saw watching that game - he was running half speed all afternoon. Wtf? Edmunds is leading the Bears to top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis, like Edmunds, will get way more on the open market than he deserves. And the Bills can afford to re-sign him for anything more than the minimum. 7 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: You have no idea that kirksey was a Bernard replacement...

More like insurance in case something happened to Bernard Yes, that's why he signed and quickly retired. He was likely under the impression he would be the starter and retired as soon as he realized he wasn't. It's not worth arguing about but it's pretty obvious to most. *shrugs* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it proves that Edmunds is a liability in coverage, and is addition by subtraction. Now you replace him with Bernard. Bernard has made more plays in 3 games than Edmunds in his career. 3 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems kinda crazy to assume that after spending two pre-seasons, a full season, and a whole offseason with Bernard… and not drafting any middle linebacker … and letting Edmunds go … the Bills coaching staff had no idea Bernard was good and they were just yolo’ing it. Perhaps we just didn’t know what to expect as fans and Bernard’s injury forced Dodson into the lineup during the preseason? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Edmunds has been a disaster in Chicago no doubt. But, for some context, this is the same Bears team that made Roquan and Morrow look like 2 of the worst LB's in the league last year and both are amongst the best in the NFL so far this year on new teams. That whole team is a train wreck, top to bottom in the staff and FO That Bears team is a disaster...I would say they should clean house and fire everyone this week...GM, HC, OC, and DC. But, its probably in their best interest to keep losing so they can try and get both Caleb and Marvin Harrison Jr this draft with the picks they have.

T master Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I wonder if the money is worth that such feeling in his stomach every week to go from a team like the Bills to the Bears & then every week watching his old team doing what they are doing & seeing Bernard filling in for him the way he is the guy must be sick !! Sure the money is nice but i think i would rather be on a winning team than i would playing for a loser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
