Bear Market

Mark Bradley is the new Maurice Stovall. When I went back to look at the first edition of our 2007 magazine, Stovall was ranked absurdly high. Sometimes you project roles and favorable situations, and sometimes you project wrong. The key is recognizing quickly when it's not going to happen. Stovall quickly fell out of favor despite a good situation, and Bradley appears to be doing the same in Chicago.
Before his knee surgery, the talk was about Bradley being the team's number one receiver. Now he looks no higher than fourth on the depth chart, and he may get cut. I spent most of the day with wholesale updates to projections, and Bradley is now way off the top 200. Devin Hester and Brandon Lloyd benefited mostly, although I still have Marty Booker as the top-ranked Bears wideout ... at WR60! (Hester is WR63, but that doesn't include special teams touchdowns.)

Good call on Bradley. The Bears have an old O-line, old defense, zero WR talent, plus one WR experiment that will be worn down and wont be as effective on ST. Their one bright spot is a rookie RB. Holy smokes I almost forgot about their QB position, well I guess their play speeks for itself.
The Bears will fight with KC and ATl. for the title of the worst team in Football. I think this is about the only thing they will when in 08.
