Today we’re tackling the underrated Bear. CDTShareTweetShareShareWho is the most underrated Chicago Bears player?Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsWhen scouring the current Chicago Bears roster looking for the most underrated player, there are several ways one could go. We asked a few of our writers to give their picks for most underrated Bear and after I share who I went with, I’ll share what they said.Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. - Can a second round draft pick only entering his second season be underrated? I don’t think enough is being made of the fantastic rookie season that James Daniels just had, nor of his potential heading into his second year as a 21-year old that may be moving to center. Daniels should be primed for a huge sophomore jump in play after starting ten games a year ago at left guard. I thought he played with good technique and surprising power once getting the nod.Whether the Bears do flip him (to center) and Cody Whitehair (to left guard) on the interior of their line, I expect both to make the Pro Bowl this year. Erik Christopher Duerrwaechter - I have a tie between Charles Leno Jr. and Bobby Massie. Both of these players have developed into a rock solid tandem as the bookend tackles for the Bears’ O-Line. It’s more impressive that Leno Jr. was a 7th round pick who’s established himself as one of the top half best LT’s in the NFL, while Massie was a castoff from a horrendous O-Line at Arizona which has gotten even worse after his departure. Best of all, Ryan Pace has both of these players locked up under reasonable contracts for the next few years.Ken Mitchell - Even though he got his first nod do the Pro Bowl last season, I think Charles Leno Jr. is the most underrated Bear. Leno is absolutely solid https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Mike-Ditka-Jersey , he’s a plug-and-play Top 10 left tackle who’s one of those ‘decade’ type players. Fortunately, he’s not only a ‘decade’ player, he’s one who’s in a key position; blind side protector. Is he a future Hall of Fame player? No, but he is, potentially, an All-Pro kind of a guy. Credit to Ryan Pace for getting him signed long term for very, very reasonable money.Sam Householder - I think that it’s Allen Robinson II. Since coming over as a big free agent signing, the Bears added Anthony Miller, Javon Wims and now Riley Ridley. While none of those guys are as good as Robinson, I think there was enough intrigue around them that it took the spotlight off Robinson Richard Dent Color Rush Jersey , so he kind of flew under the radar. Plus he only had a couple big, 100-yard games, so it wasn’t until the playoff loss that people realized how much he was coming on. I think he could have a huge year this year.Now it’s your turn. Do you agree with our offensive line takes or with the A-Rob mention? Perhaps you think it’s one of the guys on defensive side of the ball that’s underrated.Give us your pick for most underrated Bear in the comment section and let us know why. LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears are staring down at the rest of the NFC North for the first time in five years.The view from the top is quite a change for a franchise stuck at the bottom the past few seasons.The Bears meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in a matchup between unlikely division leaders, with Chicago in sole possession of first place for the first time since Marc Trestman was the coach and Jay Cutler the quarterback.“Just says we’re in the right direction,” linebacker Danny Trevathan said. “We’re in the right place. Goes to show that we’re still working hard. It’s tough out here to stack them wins, but we’re up for it.”Tampa Bay (2-1) is tied with New Orleans and Carolina for the NFC South lead, a bit of a change for a franchise with one winning season since 2010. The Buccaneers are coming off a 30-27 loss to Pittsburgh in which they fell behind by 20 and fell short after holding the Steelers scoreless in the second half.Now, they have to decide if they’ll stick with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick or go with Jameis Winston at quarterback. Winston’s three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy is over.“I’m impressed because no one thought we’d be here,” coach Dirk Koetter said. “But I’m also disappointed at the same time because I feel like we had a real opportunity to be 3-0 instead of 2-1.”The Bears (2-1) came into the season expecting more after four straight last-place finishes in their division Dan Hampton Jersey , though first place seemed like a stretch even after the blockbuster trade with Oakland for Khalil Mack on Sept. 1. But here they are with sole possession of the NFC North lead for the first time since Week 16 in 2013.They’ve won two in a row after a 16-14 nail-biter at Arizona last week. And if they beat Tampa Bay, they’ll match their longest run since a 3-0 start in 2013.Here are some things to know:QB DECISIONThe Bucs remain mum on whether Winston or Ryan Fitzpatrick will start against the Bears. Fitzpatrick has thrown for a league-leading 1,230 yards and 11 TDs and is the first in NFL history to top 400 yards passing in three consecutive games. Koetter informed both QBs who will take the first snap Sunday, however he’s in no hurry to let the Bears or the rest of the world know.“Hope everybody can appreciate that it doesn’t do us any good to tell our opponents what we’re going to do,” Koetter said.DOMINANT ‘D’Mack has been everything the Bears could have wanted when they made the trade with Oakland just before the start of the season. The two-time All-Pro is tied for the league lead with four sacks and has at least one in each game, including two last week. He is also tops in the NFL with three forced fumbles.But he has hardly been the lone contributor on defense.Trevathan and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks each have two sacks. Hicks also has two forced fumbles.MAKING THEIR POINTSTampa Bay has the NFL’s No. 1 ranked offense with 1,420 yards, seventh-most in league history through three games. The team’s 1,202 yards passing are the second-most at this point in a season. New England had 1,313 yards passing through three games in 2011.The Bucs are averaging 34 points per game https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Brian-Urlacher-Jersey , tied for third among league leaders. Their 102 points are a team record through three games.TAKING TIMEWith four trips to the end zone, the Bears are struggling to get touchdowns from their offense. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has been shaky, and coach Matt Nagy might reduce the playbook this week.But he insists it’s just a matter of the offense needing time to come together rather than a personnel problem.“We know right now offensively we’re not where we want to be,” Nagy said. “But we’re not in any type of panic mode because we understand that part of the process, but we’re going to do everything we can to try to get better.”MORE TRUBISKYTrubisky will be making his 16th career start and will have the equivalent of a full NFL season under him after this game.His 77.8 rating is barely better than the 77.5 he had in 12 games as a rookie under John Fox last season. He has more interceptions (three) than touchdown passes (two).But he’s also adjusting to his second system in as many seasons after being drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in 2017.“I’m still getting better,” Trubisky said. “We still have to look at the improvements I have been making and not mistakes I have been making.”
