Report: Bears to part ways with Brandon Marshall

[sutz]

There's a reason there will be a lot of WR's on the market this year. Team's are no longer able to ignore the fact that Seattle has made it to the dance without that "true number 1" receiver the analysts say we are lacking.

If we do bring in a big-name WR FA, it'll be a tenacious, team-oriented guy with an outstanding hungry and positive attitude first, and a tall and strong guy second.

...and those are hard to find, it seems. Too many divas at the position out there. I think we'd be better off skipping the FA market, let Richardson and Norwood develop alongside Baldie and Kearse, and draft another rook or two WR that fits the Carroll/Schneider mold.

I have felt for years that the whole "true #1 WR" argument is mostly smoke and mirrors. The Seahawks' mentality is entirely against having a 'featured' WR on the team, and the Harvin distraction pretty much demonstrated why. If you have to alter your game plan and basic philosophy to please one player, you're losing, no matter how 'good' that player might be.
