Cedric Benson arrested (and now released)

Bears sent Benson home today. He might be released as early as tonight

BleedBurgundy · 06-09-2008, 05:55 PM

Nice. You gotta think that smiling like an absolute moron in a mugshot can't help your chances. Didn't CB make all of these claims coming out of college that he wasn't a head case like Ricky Williams and people should be comparing them just because they went to the same school?

I'm wondering who's gonna bring this guy in for a look? Gruden in TB comes to mind...

He hasn't been much yet, and he's missed some time due to injury. He's not a locker room guy, and this past month hasn't been good off the field, but he was the 4th overall pick just three years ago, and spent his first two seasons as Thomas Jones' backup. And in '07 when he was the starter, the Bears had some gaping holes on the Oline. Not to mention he's never had a decent QB in the pros. Soooo, someone will take a chance on him, and at 25 with not a lot of miles he has plenty of time to find success.

If he is released, I could see the Bucs, Broncos, Texans, and maybe even division rivals Packers or Lions taking a shot on him.

He knew he was going to get his ass knocked out or handed to him thats why he was so scared!

As far as your SB stats, after our last SB winning appearance in Jan of 1992. The girls last winning appearance was in Jan 1996. What have you done since Barry S (Which by the way was a freebie Jimmy J did all the work and Barry got shit canned after going 6-10 remember...) left that sorry ass team..? Thats correct NOTHING.

So don't think for a second those girls are ANY better than the SKINS by any stretch of your imagination the record speaks for itself.

I would have to say T.O. is probably better than Monk and Clark. And that's not a slap in the face to either. T.O. has well over 100 TD's. That's pretty select company.

I would have to say your wrong. Both Monk and Clark knew how to play the TEAM sport of football as well as any WR that ever played this game. And although they didn't have 100 TD's so what? They both had 60+ TD's and multiple SuperBowl Rings to go with the class and dignity on and off the field that only select few ever had. TO NOT INCLUDED IN THAT COMPANY! And how many SB rings has TO earned......NONE!

I'm totally suprised Benson was released. I didn't see that coming for a minute.

[/end sarcasm]

Vet min?

lolol sorry I wanted to. I think we're pretty set at running back, probably moreso than any other position on the team.

As for the whole T.O. argument, give the guy his due. You can say what you want about what a loudmouth he is, but the guy has been consistently good wherever he goes. There's no way I'd say Clark, Monk, and Sanders are all better than him. Class is a different story, but in today's NFL T.O. isn't the only primadonna receiver.

Well he's kind of like this thread on the road to nowhere. Hopefully the end is near, and the thread won't have to die such a slow drawn out death......

Sorry mods for the double post. I meant to add the thread title is just a bit out dated as well.

Not only that, Monk and Clark played primarily in a "running first offense" not the "pass happy offense" that T.O. has played in SF & Philly WC offenses, Cowboys are a Redskins old type hybrid offense. Can you imagine what stats Clark and Monk would of had if they had a Joe Montana for QB in a WC offense? Give me Monk or Clark over any other any WR in the NFL, including Jerry "the whiner" Rice.

Typical homerism at it's best. Jerry Rice was better than Monk and Clark. Hands down.

Yeah, when you got Joe Montana and Steve Young for QB's, play on a passing offense in the weakest division in the NFL (Falcons, Saints, Rams) and face them twice a year you would also have awesome stats. I've been in SF since 1982, have watched JR since he started his career with SF to his retirement and the guy was a Prima Donna. He whined about not getting the ball, racism for not getting MVP one year Montana got it (so they gave it to him the next year) getting caught in a massage parlor and claiming it was a joke his teammates pulled on him, etc. The guy wishes he had the class Art Monk exhibited. He was a great player but so was Monk with some crappy QB's throwing to him with the exception of Joey T. Homerism? Sure, I just call it like it is.
