The Bears should go with Idonije & Brown and cut their losses with Anderson already.

For me, this boils down to what they can get for Brown.  If they dump him in a trade or
release him, then it's idiocy.  However, the Bears have tons of needs and if they can
address more pressing things moving Brown then I can't complain much.

What they can get is $5MM in salary off the books.  If they can use some of that money to sign a safety that's better than Danieal Manning (who by the looks of things is going to holdout) or Craig Steltz (who sucks worse than Manning) then so long Alex, and thanks for everything.

There was talk of moving him to end.

That's exactly what I expect to happen to Brown if the Bears head down this road.

I'm as incredulous as the Bears that the "announce that you'll release him if nobody trades for him" strategy didn't net them a 2nd round pick.

Quote"Good," one NFC personnel man familiar with the Bears said when told Brown was being cut loose today. "He's one of their better defensive players."

"Good," said an NFC man named "Rip" who just woke up from a 25-year-long slumber upon hearing Walter Payton was dead and Dan Hampton, Mike Singletary and Richard Dent had retired. "That's the core of their team."

Maybe not the best player on the team, but one of the few that wasn't a total waste. I'm a little bothered by this move.

Same here.  I'm not going to go all DOOM, but is Mark Anderson doing on this team instead of Alex Brown?  Anderson is sort of like the dim-witted, creepy cousin of Julius Peppers, no?  He just seems redundant and just makes for awkward family dinners.

I don't know what Mark Anderson does well. I have no idea why he's still on the team. I saw mention of Henry Melton being someone they want to push. Sorry, who?

Probably a better guard than they could pick up with the draft. Make it hai, Jerry.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

According to this site

http://profootballfocus.com/by_position.php?tab=by_position&season=2009&pos=G&stype=r&runpass=&teamid=-1&numsnaps=25&numgames=1

Sims was the 8th best guard in the league last year. Anyone heard of this site/know of any others that rank players at positions that are more subjective than QB or running back (offensive line, DBs)?

Nope, I'll take this site's word for it. But if the Bears don't get Sims, I'll declare this site as hocus-pocus bullshit.

I just noticed that they have 4 offensive tackles rated as worse than Orlando Pace last year. And Peanut as the 82nd best CB. Maybe it is Grade A bullplop.
