Report: Brandon Marshall traded to the Bears

[Rylo]

Fucking retarded

 

[FirstTimer]

Again, for the reading impaired:

Lloyd has more yards, more TD's (by a wide margin), and a much higher YPC than Marshall the last two seasons.

Based mainly on one flukey ass season in Denver in a pass happy offense.

Unimpressed. Meanwhile Marshall even with shit house QB's in Miami put up more than respectable stats including a 1200 yard 15 YPR season last year. Meanwhile Lloyd just regressed and bounced between two teams because he was such a headache..and has been in most places.

I'm not saying Marshall is Larry Fitz or Andre Johnson but to say he's in the same tier as Brandon fucking Lloyd is laughable.

I'd also take Marshall over Santonio Holmes in a nano second as well.

Oh, Marshall isn't a headache? And I guess we're pretending that Lloyd has been playing with fantastic QB's over the same period (Orton, Tebow, and the collection of scrap heapers that back up Bradford that I bet you can't even name).

Doesn't matter, I made my point that ZoneBlitz finally conceded to, which is that the compensation was fair for both sides.

They are very comparable. If Marshall is better, and im not convinced he is with his shitty hands and dumb penalties, then it isnt by much.

You guys are severly overrating Brandon Marshall. He isn't an elite WR or a difference maker. None of the fans of the teams that have gotten rid of him miss him or care that he's gone.

Fair trade for both sides, Miami needs to move on, he didn't live up and it didn't work out. They got good value.

Well I guess we disagree on the whole lot of things. Remember how funny Brandon Lloyds career was shaping up to be before the 1 magical over inflated statistical year? Everyone had bust written all over him. He was a journeymen. Even came to to Chicago and we got to see his awesomeness in person.

Marshall on the other hand has 1,000 yards in the past 5 WR's. There are only two other WRs in the league who have done that. Not to mention with Matt Moore and Chad Henne. I dont think Im overrating him. I think he is fucking fantastic. Easily a top 10 WR in the game right now.

And I also think it wasnt a fair trade. Wasnt fair at all. A 3rd this year and a 3rd next year. When he is worth at the very least a 2.

But its all good, My team got a #1 WR for the first time since I was pooping myself. All good.

Marshall is one of three WRs in the past 5 seasons to have 1000 yards in each season.

@AdamSchefter: Bears WR Brandon Marshall was involved in another incident that could lead to an NFL review. More shortly at http://ESPN.com.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

He allegedly punched a woman in the face at a night club, according to the rumors floating around.

L-O-L

Yeah, the Bears really raped the Dolphins here. Get a clue, people. He's not worth the trouble, the guy is a fucking headcase. Two 3rd rounders? A fucking steal at this point.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I can't wait to bump this after his 6 week suspension is up, and he's dropping passes left and right in big spots. Or catching yet another flag for unsportsmanlike, wiping out yet another key first down.

The Miami fans didn't believe me, either. The Bears fans will learn the hard way, I guess.

 

[ralaw]

I highly doubt he'll be suspended for a year for this.....at most 4-6 games. Either way when he returns he's still better than anything the Bears already had, which is the point. Rumors are that when Marshall and his wife were trying to leave his wife was hit in the face with a bottle and he reacted. I really can't fault him for that, but given his history I don't even understand why he's even in the club at 4am. Marshall is a good guy, but he lacks judgement.

and thats the sad part....we can name HOF Bears RB but I couldn't name one "good" WR in its past.

and I'm sure the Bears know about the incident, if they didn't, I'm sure they could get the trade voided.

For the reading impaired...

I never said Marshall wasn't.

And I guess we're pretending that Lloyd has been playing with fantastic QB's over the same period

He played with Orton in a pass happy inflated statistical offense.

Please quit playing dense. You're better than this.

:yao: at bringing up Tebow because as soon as Tebow got the job Lloyd wanted out and Denver was more than happy to see him go.

They both are headaches/clowns but at least Marshall consistantly puts up numbers meanwhile Llyod floats around the NFL as a third tier WR living off one flukey successful season.

Marshall is one of three WRs in the past 5 seasons to have 1000 yards in each season.

Is Brandon Llyod one of the other ones?

:yao:

Bears knew of Marshall incident before trade

The Chicago Bears were aware of a weekend incident involving Brandon Marshall before they acquired the wide receiver in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, the team said Wednesday.

In a statement from general manager Phil Emery, the Bears said they were fully aware that Marshall was accused of punching a woman in the face outside a New York club, an incident police are investigating.

"Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend,” Emery said in the statement. “We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear.”

The Bears traded two third-round draft picks for Marshall, who has three years remaining on his contract.

Marshall was involved peripherally in an incident at a club in which his wife was hit with a bottle during an altercation neither of them was part of, according to a statement from Marshall's attorney, Harvey Steinberg. He said Marshall took his wife to a hospital where she was treated for "serious injuries" and Marshall hopes to "assist authorities" regarding the matter.

However, the New York Post reported that the woman, Christin Myles, filed a police report saying that during the fracas Marshall hit her in the left eye, blackening it.

Marshall has a long list of off-field issues, and has twice been arrested for suspicion of domestic violence. Marshall was involved in a fight at a Denver night club that eventually sparked a shooting that killed former Denver Broncos teammate Darrent Williams.

The NFL no doubt will look into the latest matter. Steinberg has denied any wrongdoing on the part of his client.

[FirstTimer]

LOL at Marshall "slugging a woman in the eye" to the point of it being blackened and not getting arrested for it.

:yao:

Fishy story is fishy

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Personally, I think Brandon Marshall is incredibly overrated by most. He's not a top tier WR. When he's got a good QB throwing to him like Cutler...sure...he'll look good by proxy, but overall...he's good, but nothing special. They Dolphins traded two 2nds for him, they had him for two very pedestrian years, and flipped him for two 3rds...overall, not a bad return on an obviously depreciated asset.

He's dropped 23 passes in the past two seasons and has a total of 9 touchdowns.

Dat ain't good, ya'll.

 

[ralaw]

Marshall is on that second tier level of WRs in the league.....I don't hear anyone proclaiming him to be Larry Fitzgterald or Andre Johnson. However, the truth is the past 2 season he's had Chad Henne and Matt Moore as his QB and his put up decent numbers. I don't get people's issue....drops are an overrated stat as they don't take into account targets, ball placement, etc. It was obvious when he played with Cutler he had better days, as Cutler is a better QB, so it is reasonable to expect him to play better than what he did in Miami. Outside of Larry Fitzgerald who is elite I don't see many WRs putting up All-pro numbers with mediocre QB's.

 

[shag773]

I thought it was a fair trade, I don't think the Dolphins got fleeced. The Dolphins overpaid to get him. The new regime in Miami didn't want him, and I think they got a good return considering his numbers the last two years.

However, I'm not a big Brandon Marshall guy. This guy can't seem to keep his hands off of women, which is going to get him booted from the league. If I was running an NFL team, I wouldn't trade a box of jock straps for this nut.

3 1000 yard seasons QBed by the likes of Matt Moore, Chad Henne, and Kyle Orton :gayrod: :cano:

 

[FirstTimer]

If they use him on bubble screens and allow him to make plays after the catch he'll be great because that's what he does well..

If they plan is to use him as a downfield guy he will go down in flames because that's just not what he does, which is shocking because he's so huge.

Hopefully Mike Tice or whomever is calling the plays on offense is smart enough to realize this.

Jeremy Bates is the passing game coordinator.

They know what Marshall can and can't do.

I think you're underselling Marshall as a down the field guy a bit. He's not Randy Moss but he can go up and get it if need be he's just not spectacular/great at it and it shouldn't be his primary function in the offense.

 

[ralaw]

Pac-Man didn't miss any time before Goodell sat him for the year and had only been in the league for two seasons at the time. This is now six years of almost annual incidents involving Marshall in untoward situations, most surrounding the same circumstances, and the second time a team has gotten rid of him because they are tired of dealing with him.

If this turns out to be even 80% Marshall's fault and he did hit the woman, what happened to his wife notwithstanding, I think there's a very real chance he gets the same deal as Jones with the year long suspension with the availability of a review after 10 games.

I disagree for 2 reasons. Pac-Man's incidents were way more publicized and it also was the time when Goodell had just came on the scene with his hard stance suspension, player conduct policy, so he had to lower the boom a bit to make an example out of Pac-Man. If he was suspended for the year I'd be surprised.....especially considering the Bears knew before the trade (I'm sure they put some calls to NFL offices).
