Bears | Driver does not believe team has receiving corps to compete

Bob Wolfley, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers WR Donald Driver said during a radio interview that the only thing the Bears are missing is a receiving corps that can make plays down the field. "They have the running back, they have the offensive line and they have a great defense. But you're going to have to need receivers to make plays down the field, and they don't have that right now," Driver said.





Why would you want to give bulletin board material out there. Something is going on with our players lately and they are speaking out of their asses.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

So Driver is wrong to point out the obvious...?

its not like he said "o their receivers suck" or something to that degree, he just answered a question, not a big deal but i guess

Doesn't sound like talking shit to me. More like he's pointing out the obvious that everyone else has pointed out before.

It doesn't really seem like he is talking shit though...he gives the Bears props where its due and he talks about what they need to improve. Everyone knows the Bears have probably one of the worst if not THE worst receiving core in the league.

He is just telling the truth. Plus I have never been into "bulletin board material," if u need that to get motivated to play the game, u shouldnt be playing at all.

Besides is this the worst thing u have ever heard from a player?

And the full quote so we're not taking this quite so much out of context


"I think Chicago did a great job, and Lovie Smith went out there and got Jay Cutler to lead this team, but one thing they don't have is they don't have the receiver group," Driver said. "They have the running back, they have the offensive line and they have a great defense. But you're going to have to need receivers to make plays down the field, and they don't have that right now. So I can see on our end we have all of that on our offense. And then you go back to look at Minnesota. Minnesota has a great running game, but they just don't have the top-of-the-line quarterback that they need. So I'm hoping my guy doesn't go over there, but if he does then I wish the best for him."



I agree with everything he has to say, and i think most people do as well. That said i dont think much positive comes from him saying it publicly, but driver has always been a pretty honest guy.

How is Driver speaking out of his ass?

Sorry, but this is complaing for the sake of complaining about something.

He said all they're missing is receivers. They already know that. I think even with motivation, Chicago's receivers aren't going to much anyway. You think Jay Cutler really believes that the Bears have an outstanding receiving core? The players aren't fools and actually what Driver said didn't seem to be a cocky callout or anything. In fact it clearly wasn't.
