Any chance you could find those special teams stats for this year because I'm not seeing anything.

It would be funny if the Steelers picked him up, but it would be overkill against this wretched team.

Oh, a December 2016 article says he's a great special teams player.

How about this year, since that's what we are talking about.



Seriously?

You got your question answered. Though it was not the answer you were looking for.

And no other team in the NFL drafted Gentry or picked him up the first time he was on the street.


He had several suitors as an UDFA. I assume several of those teams would be happy to have him on their practice squad tomorrow and obviously the Bears see something.

No team is creating space on the roster for an UDFA this early after they have just set their rosters. That would change as the season rolls on and players get injured.

Bellamy and Thompson would be in the same type of situation had either been cut this week. In fact, both HAVE been in the same situation at points in their careers.

They are here because of special teams prowess. Throw in Mc Mannis and that is a luxury for a team so devoid of WR talent.

He had NO SUITORS when cut the first time. ZERO. No team chose to sign him for their practice squad when the Bears cut him the first time.

You mean like the UDFA the Ravens took from the Bears yesterday?

Bellamy and Thompson would be in the same type of situation had either been cut this week. In fact, both HAVE been in the same situation at points in their careers.

Easy to say, but no basis in reality exists here. Bellamy is an excellent special teams guy.

They are here because of special teams prowess. Throw in Mc Mannis and that is a luxury for a team so devoid of WR talent.

McMannis is another guy who wouldn't last long on the street and he can't even play corner in the NFL.

Yeah Matt, he went from excellent to shitty in just two NFL games. You swung and missed with this one. Plenty of other things to go after the Bears for. At this point, Tanner Gentry ain't one of them.

Which is the whole point here. You could have easily found the article I posted, but chose not to look.

Being a glass is empty kind of guy is your choice.

You mean the December 2016 article you posted? Not sure how that applies to this year.

2017 Josh Bellamy special teams stats. I honestly can't find any. Which can't be possible given how great a special teams player he is.

Past performance applies in most real world jobs unless people work for the government.

You and dolphin look silly on this one. Like I said, no shortage of reasons to question Ryan Pace about on personnel decisions.

A UDFA no one in the league wanted TWICE, ain't one of them.

The fact that there is even a debate over Bellamy and Gentry shows the sorry state of affairs for this Bears WR core, and is the biggest reason to bash Ryan Pace.

Wow Seacrest, you are making this hard.

I'm asking a simple request. The 2017 stats from special teams ace Josh Bellamy.

The NFL is not a real world job. As it has been commonly said, NFL stands for "Not For Long" if you can't do your job.

And that government employment dig has zero to do with this discussion.

Feel free to show me the 2017 stats.

This is beginning to have a "Obama turned the White House lights off" vibe to it.

And I didn't know that you worked for the government. So. no dig, but it makes your stance more understandable

Isn't there a more Christian way to try to steer the subject away from your lack of NFL knowledge than to spread lies about my views on autism?

I already tried but you know how difficult it must be for football simpleton such as myself. No 2017 special team stats for Bellamy are showing up.

Surely a football savant such as yourself will he unable to unearth these stats.

Thanks in advance.

You see, I made no comment about your views on autism. Just your contempt that you showed to all here.

Hopefully, we can all take that as a no going forward from you?

I posted an article where he was lauded for his excellent special teams play.

I also pointed out that he knows the entire playbook.

He has more experience than Gentry.

And I see where he is the Bears second leading WR currently.



Your response is, "I would rather have a rookie wide out that the entire NFL has passed on twice."(Prolly three times before the day is over)

Good chat.
