Hurns or Cam who would you prefer

Come on now.  Let's not go picking numbers out of mid air as a guesstimate for how many catches he might have just to back your point.  We also have no idea what he may cost yet beyond the $1.9 mil he tendered for.

We have no idea how many he'll get but I'll bet you $20 it's more than 20-30.  Care to put up some cash to back your post?

For the record even Bellamy had 24 last year in that Godforsaken offense.

I'm not picking them out of mid air, 2 years of KC Cheifs stats and 2 years of Philly Eagles stats(both run similar systems) and even looked at a pass happy team like Alt for 2 years. You see the same thing, posted this earlier: 

"If you assume that KC O from last year are good #s to go off of: 500 pass attempts, 340 completions(68% is probably asking a lot from Trubs btw), 80-90 for Arob, got to think that Burton will get 70-80(the TE in the KC offense gets a lot of looks), Gabriel and Cohen are going to each get 40+ b/c they are the speed/home run hitters on the field. After the top 4 guys in the comps on the Chiefs last year, the next 2 highest were in the 20's. So you are talking about paying someone 6mil-9mil for 20-30 catches when 20-30 catches could be done by a rookie, or a guy already on the roster(Bellamy/White if healthy).

2016 similar, but 20 more completions on 40 more attempts(I'm not positive Nagy will give Trubs 540 attempts and I'm not sure Trubs hits at 67% either), which gavve the 5th and 6th options just over 30 rec's, for 450 and 230 yards. 6mil for 30 rec's and 450 yards(and no td's). If the Bears were to sign Cam for 6mil, and the roles are reversed and Gabriel becomes the 5th option(doubtfull considering his speed which is something Nagy wants) then he would also have been to much money. Cam and Gabriel w/the same money on the team, one isn't going to earn his pay.



You see a similar story in Philly btw, but it's the first 3 targets, then the 4th and the rest are the 20-30's. Just for fun, checked the Falcons, again same thing as Philly checked both over the last 2 years."


So I guess you have to ask yourself, do you think Trubs is going to get 500-540(in philly w/Wentz 600+) and complete at 67-68% and that the plays are going to be called more for Meredith instead of Gabriel and Cohen. When the 2 WR's that match him(6'2" 200+ lbs) only 1x got  more then 20-30 catches
except for once(540 attempts) in the equivelent of 4 years that what Cams role will be. 

Soul you know I don't bet unless I have some control in the outcome. me vs someone sure, poker, golf, basketball etc. putting money on 2 things I have no say in, nope that's a suckers bet. Besides, we are talking about SF and the Bears, it takes 1 injury to change all the #'s. That still doens't mean you should put 35-40mil into pass catchers. At 2-4 mil I'm all for bringing Cam back, wouldn't even blink. 6-9 it just doesn't make financial sense.

No i think the 3rd wr is the bears 5th target and will likely get somewhere in the 20-30 rec range tops, b/c the O Nagy runs that's all they ever got based on 4 years in Philly/KC except for 1 year.  And again, I don't bet on anything I don't have a direct say in; never have, not sure how you don't get that.

fyi:
www.letsbeardown.com/articles/report-bears-have-reached-out-to-allen-hurns/

Well, it doesn't look like former teammate Allen Robinson is the only one in Chicago trying to recruit now free agent wide receiver Allen Hurns.

Many were hoping the Bears would reach out to the free agent so Robinson and Hurns could be reunited in Chicago.

Well it looks like they'll at least try and reunite them.

Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News has confirmed that the Chicago Bears have reached out to the WR along with the Dallas Cowboys.

George spoke to Hurns himself and Hurns mentioned that at least 10 teams have reached out to him.

Hurns visited with the Cowboys on Wednesday so we'll see if he makes the rounds and visits any of those other 10 teams.

Would you like to see Ryan Pace sign Hurns?



My guess is the market is growing stronger for Cam then the Bears might have thought and will look into the market for Hurns just in case. Not a fan of this either, again a Rookie could get the catches these 2 will likely get in this O at a fraction of the cost. No one, unless a lot of injuries happen again, is getting a lot of looks outside of the top 4, AR15, TBurt, TGab and TCoh, there just aren't enough catches to go around.

Again I have nothing against Cam, I want/wanteded him back(until the 6mil # popped up), and you are right, other teams are showing interest b/c he is has good upside. But I don't think the Bears were expecting this kind of interest and weren't planning on paying another wr 6+ mil; if they were they wouldn't have went after Gabriel for that price. I think the tender was meant to temper the offers but it hasn't, the lack of WR talent in FA; and how hard the Bears went on day one seems to have encouraged teams to go after Cam.

I think there are a lot of really good WR's in this draft, I think if you've done the mocks and have researched the names you'll know who they are. For a guy that will be the 5th option I think it makes more sense to get a guy in the 2nd-4th rounds.
