I'm a fan of Hub Arkush, Zach Zaidmen, Brad Biggs, Chris Emma, Dan Pompie, Moon Mullins, and David Haugh. Lots of good information to be gleaned from all these people.

Biggs seems like a glass half full kind of guy, Hub seems like a glass half empty guy. I read them both but prefer Biggs. Emma I recently started to read his work and I am becoming a fan.

My list would look a lot like Ric's. I like Zaidman the most because I think he's got his nose right in there and he's not "smug" like "I don't care what the Bears say, I'm reporting what I'm reporting". I think he reports what he knows, but he's not condescending about the bears front office like some of his colleagues at the Score. I like Biggs also, but I think he's just a bit full of himself, but that's OK as I'm probably a bit full of myself in my chosen field as well. I also like Hub, but I think he tries to cover the whole league and not as much just about the Bears, which is fine, but I think he's burned too many bridges at Halas Hall. I think Pompei is fair and seems to know what he's talking about. Moon is probably one of my favorites; he's been around and he seems to sense BS when he hears it but he is not about "him" as much as some of the other guys. David Haugh I like sometimes and other times I feel like he's way off base.
It lists 7-8 writers but omits others reporters like Aaron Leming who occasionally posts some nuggets on his Twitter handle. I personally Big Brad Biggs because he has a good column and has good insight on the team. Obviously you take his reporting with a grain of salt.
Thoughts Bears brothers?
1st thread for me of many to come.
Leming isn't a beat reporter. Pretty sure he lives in CA so he's a aggregator of Twitter feeds and 150 character news up dates.
Jeremy Stoltz is far and away my favorite Bears Reporter - especially this time of year. I'd follow up on the consensus pick of Brad Biggs after Stoltz though as his articles and QAs and elaborate and they come from a position of knowledge and history.
I like Biggsy from the Trib and his mailbag stuff. Adam Jahns from the Sun-Times for his honesty and insight. And Moon Mullins for sprinkling a little humor around some pretty straightforward observations.
These guys can all provide honest critiques with getting nitpicking critical.
Least favorite; Steve Rosenrant and that late stain on humanity Jay Mariotti. He not really dead I just wish he was. Call it a fond hope that one day lightning will strike him in the game booth.

I have an alternate theory on this. I think we may have just made the glass too big to begin with.

Whow, you just blew my mind. The depth of the soulman's thought is simply beyond mortal comprehension.
Biggs is my favorite. Moon Mullin is good too. I have to admit Steve Rosenbloom sometimes has an article that I like. Not because it is a rosy positive article, but because it blisters the Bears organization when they have that coming. He cuts nobody slack. Sometimes the Bears deserve the heat.

You know that's true some of the time as do the Bulls, Hawks, Sox (very often) and even the Cubbies but Rosenrant has to grind on them all every day and after a while he reaches so far for something negative to say I'm surprised he doesn't dislocate something other than his brain.
