Who looks at the Bears line and says, 'Boy Id love to have one of those guys come play for us', especially when hes 36 and hasnt been even average at his position in years?

Considering we don't have a center, I would take him.

Right? And now we here we are hot and heavy for Nnamdi, too.

Man, this place gets so emotional ...like PMS or something.

word.

perhaps a pitcher of delicious Iupatis would help.

Iupati is a f**king beast, thank god we drafted him.

A huge downgrade from... who? we dont even have a center.

And Mike Martz is their OC...so it's naturally their performance would decline.

His play was poor in 09 as well, so thats not really an excuse. Yes, he was a pro bowler, that was many, many years ago. Hes nowhere near Matt Birk was when he signed with Baltimore.

Free Agent Centers who graded out better than Kreutz last year:
Shaun OHara .5
Rudy Niswanger 0
Chris Norris 0
Jonathan Goodwin -5.0
Ryan Cook -6.0
Kreutz graded out at a -18.1!!!!!

Bring him on!!! Hes a name. And nothing is more thrilling than signing a NAME.

Pairing Snyder and Rachal at C and G would be more effective than Kreutz and, well, anyone, even the best Guard in the game.

Kreutz is still a good center. The rest of that line consisted of scrubs. He has a history of being a rock solid player and durable. Martz's scheme did the team no favors in terms of pass-pro. He's not 36, he just turned 34 and should still have a couple good years left. Only other feasible options are Johnathan Goodwin and Chris Spencer.

Do you honestly believe that it is someone from the 49ers organization that is saying we are interested in these players?

I don't know where these grades come from, but do me a favor and check what his grade was before Martz arrived. Thanks
Personally signing Shaun O`hara would be excellent.

Let me answer your question with a question. Do you honestly believe anything Baalke or York says these days?

P.S. And yes I do think they are leaking thier name out there with free agents. What better way to mislead people that your trying,but really aren't.

Profootballfocus.com, sorry for not posting the source. His grade in 09 was negative as well, though not as harsh. He has become poor in both run and pass blocking. 7 years ago, hed be a positive addition, now, hed actually be a downgrade, from anyone. Hell, gimme Cody Wallace, wherever he is.

Just more of the know-nothing armchair GMs wanting to sign anyone who is a 'name'.

Key stat:
" Kreutz ranked 33rd of 34 centers by Pro Football Focus last season"

Cool, looks like you have to pay to see the stats tho . I was curious how our guys performed last year. I'm still willing to give Kreutz a mulligan tho, last year was a terrible time to be a lineman for the Bears.

Kreutz would be a good pick up. Dude has played on a HORRIBLE OLine the last few years. I would take our O line over the Bears last year. You cant turn your nose up at a 6 time pro bowl center, he obviously needs a change of scenery. The only knock on him is he can pick up stupid penalties at times (he bulldozes dog piles after whistles or after play is dead).

They offer plenty of free content if you search hard enough. One interesting tidbit is that they actually rank Chilo very highly, on the basis of his run blocking though, not so much his pass blocking. They are the best in the business though when it comes to grading players on an individual basis.
