Alright Bears fans, it’s that time of year again: The time to go in-depth on who is playing up to expectations, and perhaps even exceeding them (hello Matt Forte), and who is disappointing.
Technically, it’s not quite mid-season yet. Only seven games have been played in a 16-game season. But it’s the bye week, so now is as good a time as any to do this.
As I’m sure many of you have, I have watched each game with a critical eye, and have read what all of the so-called experts have said to do the research necessary for such an undertaking.
Still, there is some subjectivity here, so I encourage you to debate me in the comments section (I also encourage each of you to send me $20, but that’s a subject for another day I guess).
The Bears currently sit at 4-3 and right in the thick of the wild card race in the NFC. But they will likely need to go at least 6-3 in the remaining nine games to make the playoffs.
Recognizing that, the players with average or below average grades will need to step it up, and the players doing well will need to continue their pace.
So, without further ado, I give you my grades for all the starters. Now, there have been plenty of changes, so I will go by who is listed first on the official Bears depth chart.
