NavyBillsFan Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Give the guy a shot on a new team. Would not be a bad pick up. The Bears release of former No. 1 choice Marc Colombo was a bold one, but not unexpected. Colombo never showed the footwork to be a good left tackle, which had been a long-term need for the Bears before John Tait moved over to the position this year. Colombo was a big, mauling type of right tackle, but injuries killed his playing time. When the Bears signed Fred Miller, it was an admission Colombo wasn't going to be in their plans. Teams don't hand out $6 million signing bonuses if they have faith in the former first-round pick. With that roster spot, the Bears made a curious signing. John St. Clair has been talented enough to tempt the Rams and Dolphins to start him at right tackle, but he hasn't played well enough to keep those jobs. He's a decent backup, though, and that's what his role will be in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheRocks Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The Bears are a mess. They dropped a former #1 pick and signed St.Clair...who ranks up there with Jerry Crafts as the best ole~ tackle ever to play. My guess is they would be happy to have a mediocre Mike Gandy back in their lineup. As for giving Columbo a try? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
