       I just read the article on Lance Briggs on chicagobears.com.  It
       says that he was voted 92 best player in the league by his peer.
       It mentioned he was only 1 of 6 Bears to be voted to 6 straight
       ProBowls.  I was thinking about Briggs and his place in Bears
       history.  To this point does he warrant Bears HOF and having his
       jersey retired?  What more would he have to accomplish?  Is he
       sniffing overall HOF?  What more does he need to do to be
       considered?
       Personally I think he is underrated and has been his entire
       career.  I use the example of the season Urlacher was injured
       and Briggs was the defense.  I think he is one of those rare
       individuals that can be the leader or the role player and do
       both extemely well.
       I don't keep up with the kind of stats you need for HOF.
       However give Briggs 2 or 3 solid years like he has had and I
       would like he would be considered.

       Urlacher would have to get in first.  Right or wrong that is
       just the way it is.  I think BRiggs and Urlacher both would need
       a few more productive years and a super bowl win would help
       also.

       The trouble with retiring player numbers is that the Bears
       already have so many retired numbers.

       I doubt either has their number retired.

       I can understand memorializing the number WITH the name on a
       flag or something - but "retiring" the number forever is silly

       Really?
       Guard:
       It is possible the Bears will bring in a free agent here, but
       don't be surprised if they don't. The fallout from the selection
       of Carimi means Chris Williams probably will stay at guard. So
       both starters from last year, Williams and Roberto Garza, are
       returning.

       Although it wasnt mentioned specifically as a guard, it was
       brought out that they likely would add to the OL during FA
       whenever that is permitted.
       Since Carimi is a tackle its assumed that the FA probably would
       be a guard but you never should assume anything with the Bears.
       And nobody is assuming that the OLman is necessarily a veteran
       FA. Could also be an undrafted type FA.
