I'm one of the biggest Poles haters in here at this point. Guys a clown. I'm saying Thomas Brown is in a bad situation and I think he's got a chance to be something.

Yes he’s in a bad situation but what have you seen from Brown to show you that?

Bears offense gets points. D then gives up another 70 yard TD drive.

If the Bears had scored a TD when they should have, and gotten a field goal instead of each turnover in field goal range, they would still be getting absolutely smoked in this game.

He’s a third round draft pick
Third round picks do not hit with regularity.

A GM should still be able to find talent

Jerry Angelo 3rd round picks who had impact at NFL level

2001 - T Mike Gandy (7 year starting LT in NFL)
2002 - G Terrence Metcalf (Played 84 games at G in NFL career)
2003 - LB Lance Briggs (Star LB, Should be HOF but wont sadly)
2004 - WR Bernard Berrian (4,122 yds receiving with 24 TD's in career)
2008 - WR Earl Bennett (2,277 yds with 12 TD's in career)
2010 - S Major Wright (played 77 games in NFL with 9 INT)
2011 - S Chris Conte (8 years as starting S in NFL)

If your unable to draft talent to help your team in mid/later rounds you have no business being an NFL GM

I don't disagree. His issues in the 3rd and 4th rounds are glaring. But a 3rd round pick is very far from a guarantee.

Now do Angelo’s first round picks.

Man, Florio was speculating without any rhyme or reason on whether the Bears should trade for Shanahan like 3 weeks ago, and the football media is still talking about it as if it were ever realistic.
