NFL  > Chicago Bears  > Chicago Bears GM - Jerry Angelo 2001-?
June 15, 2009, 08:25 PM
How long will Jerry Angelo last as the Chicago Bears GM, he has been their since 2001...since that time he has been very conservative with trade and Free Agency, until the Cutler trade this year...does this job saving maneuver get him a contract
extension...or where his draft blunders to much to swallow...

As an unbiased outsider, it would appear that he pushed all his chips in the center of the table with the Cutler trade. If they at least make the conf title I'd say he's safe for sure. If they make the playoffs but lose early it's a crapshoot and he'll need some help from extenuating circumstances, i.e. injuries, other probles. Missing the playoffs will send Lovie and Angelo packing.

A savvy owner would not extend him before or during such a pivotal season in my humble opinion.

Your welcome for the idea, and I agree with osumountie except I believe as long as they make it to the playoffs he will get his contract extension, this has been his best year as a G.M.

It depends if the coach gets the axe too...he is under contract through 2010...so far arguments sake, lets says the coach goes too...Mike Shanahan, Bill Cowher would want both jobs...My preference would be to give it all to Mike Singletary, I am sure he has an out of his contract for the Bears...Charley Casserly...If Lovie survives, Bill Parcells, never stays anyhere long...and the chance to stick it to Jerry Jones might interest him...Floyd Reese...Since Singletary will most likely require some form of compensation, a former Bear might be the way to go...their are so many to choose from...list some names that you think might be available.

It's got to be Cowher or Shanahan over Singletary. I get the whole Singeltary/Chicago history and love but those are two SB winning coaches with impeccable resumes. If they joined the league today they'd both be top 10 coaches. The same cannot be said (yet) for Singletary.

Very dependent on how this team plays. You can't fault the man if:

A) The players are there but injuries nag the team
B) Our secondary gives up games.
C) Bone head coaching- (Atl game last year)

A second round playoff spot will land him another year in Chicago. A bust of a season will and him on his back side, along 90/94.

Listen, McCaskey and Ted Phillips like this man, and agree with the moves he has made. There hasn't been a notion from them, that if these moves fail, that he would be out.

Depth? The Bears have 5 WR, they could even have 6 on the roster. Even if they had signed a FA WR, what if he was injured? You would have the same 5 or 6 we are looking at now.

They have last years O-line as well as the additions from FA. Not seeing a problem with depth there.

LB- Never has been a problem with them. TWO solid players in Briggs and Pisa. Add Urlaher in the mix and you have one of the best corps in the league.

CB and S, FS are the main concerns in my mind. While everyone is off bi tchign about the WR slot, it has been the most neglected positions on the field.

Seeing you don't EVER read the entire post, you would have seen I wrote; If the Bears dont make at least a second round playoff spot, he will be gone.

You only comment on my posts to try and 1 up me. Your annoying and your posts are becoming more and more ridiculous.

I guess you think the Packers GM should be fired because he didn't have depth in their Defense, which is why they were 6-10 last year, huh?
