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.
