		<description><![CDATA[3rd year receiver over achieving! Thats what knox is. Give him time to grow. He isn&#039;t a knuclehead and appears to be coachable.....I&#039;ve seen progress every year, you cannot say he has &quot;declined&quot;.......his knocks are wrong routes (youth), afraid of crossing patterns(size). I believe he has a better grasp of the offense going into the 2nd year with martz and he has by all accounts gotten bigger in the upper body......Give him time to blossom........We are SUPER HUNGRY!!! GO BEARS!!!!!!!!]]></description>

You can&#039;t compare Knox to DHB.  Knox was a fifth round pick who had almost 1,000 yards last year alone.  DHB has started 25 games in two seasons (25 GAMES) and has less than 500 yards total.  He&#039;s averaging 18 yards in receptions a game!!!  Let that sink in.  The #7 overall pick in the first round can&#039;t get to 20 yards a game and averages 1 TD for every 13 games played.

There are plenty of WRs in the league who suck, however, DHB is the &quot;Linda Lovelace&quot; of the position.]]></description>

You had me until that last sentence. Believe what you want about the NFC championship game, but Cutler has only missed one game his entire career, and that was due to getting a concussion in the first half of the Giants game after being sacked 9 times.  

As far as Knox, he is fast, but weak.  He did bulk up in the offseason, but we&#039;ll have to see if that helps.  I hope he is really not thinking of asking for a trade.  He was a fifth round pick who has shown flashes, but is not the go up and get it fight for the ball guy.  Starter by necessity last year. Earn it, son, and I mean this year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Knox is good, but the Bears really need a big possession receiver and Roy can be that. I imagine a lot like the Bears used Muhsin Muhammed a few years ago. Knox is great for some 35-yard catches but on 3-and-7, he&#039;s not a threat.

Knox will get his snaps. The Bears need to limit Hester&#039;s plays on offense to keep him fresh for the return game, and their offense commonly uses at least 4 receivers in the rotation anyway.

In other words, being behind Roy on the depth chart is meaningless, especially before any preseason games. Sounds like a reporter trying to stir up a story.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Knox is a horrible WR.  Anyone who says he isn&#039;t needs to watch some tape.   If I was giving this guy a madden rating it would be in the low 60&#039;s.   The only thing he has is speed.  He is the same guy as DHB or Ted Ginn.  He has terrible hands.  He runs maybe the worst routes in all of the NFL,  His team says he doesn&#039;t work hard.  He doesn&#039;t go over the middle.  I have never seen a guy stop and turn for a hitch route worse than this guy.  I think he had the highest int rate pre target the last two years ad for once most of those Ints weren&#039;t Cutlers fault.  Knox should shut up and be happy the Bears allow him to steal from them.  

IMO Dallas fans are going to be pissed when they see Roy Williams play this year.   He is going to have a big year this year.   I&#039;d bet on 1000 yrds and at least 10 tds.  Williams needs to be the number 1 target on his team to stay in the game. When he is not he loses concentration and makes mistakes.  But with the Bears he is going to be targeted a lot and that will keep his head in the game and he will do very well.  Mark it down, you heard it here first.   oh and thats based on Cutler not breaking a nail and missing 14 games.]]></description>

BALTIMORE GET ON THE PHONE!!!!…This guy would kill in the right system!&quot;

LMAO, you can&#039;t honestly think Baltimore would even remotely consider trading with the team that botched a trade during this years draft, and then flat out refused to give any sort of compensation, right???!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gotta say, some of the trade ideas here are ... interesting, to say the least.

As for Knox, he&#039;s really not a starting WR.  At best, a number 2 guy, but better off in the slot, where his speed/quickness can be utilized, and where his flaws (inconsistent route running, lack of physicality, poor reads on CB&#039;s) aren&#039;t exposed as much.  As has been noted by others, several of Cutler&#039;s interceptions last year were a direct result of mistakes made by Knox.

Bears won&#039;t trade him anytime soon, barring a ridiculous deal that no one is anticipating.  There&#039;s just no need, and I highly doubt Knox would draw all that much (my hunch is a 3rd is a best case scenario).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Johnny Knox is locked into a starting flanker role

Offensive coordinator Mike Martz says Hester’s starting job his entire career was given to him — it wasn’t earned.

___________________________________

Fixed!!


This would be the case if Lovie Smith actually cared about his football team.

Am I the only one that has noticed that with all these Bears stories we haven&#039;t had a mention of Lovie Smith (maybe except his contract extension)? or even a quote? It&#039;s usually Urlacher, Mike Tice, Mike Martz, Rob Marinelli, or someone else?

I mentioned it before but a columnist for the Sun-Times wrote a few years ago: &quot;It would not surprise me one bit if Lovie Smith had easy listening music playing in his headset on the sidelines.&quot;

I mean COME ON!! At some point you have to take the reigns on this team and MAKE SOME CHANGES.]]></description>
