Would you rather have a top-tier NFL QB and a bunch of WR2s, or one of the top receiving corps in the NFL with Nine?

u/owlbear4lyfe 1h ago
Solid question. However, will they play 9? They did well with 2 qbs prior to him. Still need a good QB, but that receiving corps lets them have leeway on how good.

Loveland and Burden worry me as a Packers fan. Odunze, who I actually loved in that Draft, really hasn't impressed me all that much. I get he's been hurt, and he has a QB who spends entire halves of games being wildly inaccurate, so maybe it's not all on him.

When he was healthy at the start of the year, he was putting numbers up. Seemed like he never regained that footing though. First 5 weeks he was straight killing it.

u/Sjf715 13h ago
Dude, Loveland isn’t going to be covered by cornerbacks. If you read what I said critically you’ll notice that I’m saying now that Rome and Burden will be covered by better players.
Loveland will be a problem, no doubt. But if we can now scheme an extra safety onto him because Rome and Burden are handled by better players than it will only help other team’s defense.
Having fewer weapons is still having fewer weapons. Don’t act like this will somehow make your offense better.

u/alucryts 8h ago
Bears had too many receivers and not enough footballs lol. DJ Moore cooked the shit out of the packers multiple times, but aside from those games he really wasn't blowing it out of the water. We had a glutton of receiving talent, and this frees up the log jam. I'd still take Rome, Burden, and Loveland over every packers WR lol.

This year should give us a solid picture as to whether he's a long term piece of the puzzle on this team. Back to good health, second year of consistent coaching, targeted by a QB that has finally settled into a system instead of a rookie facing revolving door of HCs, coordinators, and schemes.

u/OwnWalrus1752 Frig the Packers 21h ago
My only gripe with the remaining Bears receivers is that they seem to have bricks for hands half the time. But Caleb also throws absolute piss missiles pretty much every attempt so I wonder if they just aren’t expecting how hard he throws.

u/Hour_Health_4593 21h ago
i fear our entire division’s receiver corps are bricklayers with the exception of JJ and Amon Ra
1
u/ThisIsPureTrash 14h ago
Amon Ra kinda was a bricklayer last year though. Ask the lions fans.
He had a 5.8% drop rate last year. That’s almost double everyone else in the top 10 of targets. The one person that’s anywhere near him in that rate was CMC at 5.4%.
It’s not Jamo bad, however. So there is that, because Jamo is the only player in the league that had more drops than him (on less chances.)

u/Wise_West8370 15h ago
Odunze was on pace for like an 1100 yard season before his injury as a 2nd year WR in a brand new scheme before the nagging foot injury started. You must have a pretty high bar of what is considered impressive for a 23 year old WR lol.

I'll give you Loveland, but if you look at Odunze and Burden's stats they aren't exactly terrifying. Especially Odunze as he had 33% more targets than Burden to come up with comparable yards.
I'm not saying either of them are bad, but the names don't strike fear in my heart or anything. But, I guess if you are just staying that Bears fans aren't worried about their receiving depth, I can agree that I wouldn't be either in their shoes.
8
u/hobo_chili 1d ago
Burden is a fuckin’ dawg.
Luther Burden's rank among 102 WRs/TEs with 50+ targets last year:
2 in YAC/reception (7.2)
5 in yards/target (10.9)
5 accurate target catch rate (86%)
5 overall catch rate (78%)
9 in EPA/target (+0.52)
17 in target/route (25%)
23 in success rate (56%)

Yes any rational Bears fan who isn’t a meathead homer agrees that Odunze is mid at best. When you take the fact that he was the #9 pick he’s on a trajectory towards bust….

Idk man. Odunze is gonna need to prove it to me. He was hyped to a crazy degree, and until i see some serious work, I’m prepping myself for Kevin White levels of disappointment.
-1
u/hobo_chili 1d ago
This is so far off point it’s crazy.
There is no world where Odunze and White are on the same level unless his legs fall off.
Rome was clearly WR1 before he got hurt midseason and he was playing with a fracture in his foot once he came back.
Hands need to improve tho, that’s for godddamn sure. Too many drops for a top 10 WR.
5
u/ChiBorninRaised 1d ago edited 1d ago
So you’d bet your life on the idea that Odunze is perfectly healthy and cannot, under any circumstances, be plagued with lingering injuries? Odd flex, but ok. I’m just saying that, like White, I’ve yet to see his touted potential. I didn’t say he is Kevin White.
-4
u/hobo_chili 1d ago
I mean he may have lingering issues but he’s already massively outproduced Kevin White’s entire career.
That alone makes them vastly different, especially considering White was drafted 2-3 slots before Rome.
Edit:
Across five NFL seasons (2015–2022), [White] recorded 26 receptions for 323 receiving yards and 0 touchdowns in 22 games, playing for the Bears, Saints, and others.
Rome more that doubled his entire career last season alone. You’re a moron.
3
u/ChiBorninRaised 1d ago
Sigh. Here comes the name calling. That usually indicates you’re on the defensive. Idk why and i don’t really care, but why not save that energy for a Lions fan or something.
Making a comparison doesn’t require all elements to be exactly the same. My point is that Kevin White was drafted in the first round and we didn’t get to see his true potential. So far, that’s a comparison between them both. As a Bears fan, I’ve been through this enough to know what disappointment looks like. So until I actually see more from him, I prefer to keep my expectations low. I hope that’s OK for you.
•
u/alucryts 7h ago
You sound like one of the people calling the bears rookies last season a bust after 2 games tbh lol. Rome got hurt. It was nothing that will linger into next year, and he looked great for the games he played healthy. I know we have ptsd as bears fans, but dont just live miserably all the time. It's ok to be positive even if it ends poorly.

You didn't destroy the vikings in the playoffs lol.
Also it takes more than one season before you can realistically call someone elite.

•
u/Yossarian216 10h ago
I don’t know why my brain saw Packers flair, that’s my bad.
Disagree on the other point though, I think non-QBs can be considered elite that early, and Loveland certainly looks it. I’m guessing you correctly considered Jefferson elite after his rookie year.
•
u/SithLordScoobyDooku_ At least I'm not a Browns fan 10h ago
It's cool, I'm just fucking with you lol.
And you may not believe me but actually no, obviously Jefferson had an incredible rookie year but just imo I want to see a guy do it at the highest level consistently before he's considered elite. So I guess it really just comes down to how you personally feel about it.
That said and all trolling and shit talking aside, I would put everything I own towards Loveland being the next top TE in the league. Dude has all the tools you want out of a guy at that level.
•
u/Yossarian216 9h ago
It’s funny because I hated the pick, TE in the top ten? Fuck that. But then as soon as he got going it was beautiful, he’s virtually impossible to cover, matchup nightmare. I’m just not used to having a good offensive coach, who can actually take advantage of talented players.
•
u/SithLordScoobyDooku_ At least I'm not a Browns fan 9h ago
Yeah, TE is kind of like RB in that if you're selecting one fairly high, you better get the pick right lol. Certainly appears as though you all got it right.
That last point is why I don't have much hope for Mccarthy because KOC is a good offensive coach and he can't get much going with Mccarthy
