Chicago Bears: We are talking Allen Robinson and his future

Allen Robinson is causing internal issues with the Chicago Bears

I talked a lot about the Chicago Bears receiver a lot during this offseason and recently posted it soon. Speculation and concern are many things Chicago Bears fans face. The main important thing with Allen Robinson is cost. You can find my write-up on how the Bears shouldn’t overpay him here. I still stand by that. I have asked some of the Bear Goggles members this, what is the point of paying a receiver top dollar if there isn’t faith in the quarterback?

As a fan, you want Ryan Pace to sign Allen Robinson to an extension but are angry that the quarterback tossing him the ball can’t get it to him anyway. So why pay the receiver big dollars? If Allen Robinson can’t live up to his full potential in this quarterback system, what is the point?

There would be no difference in having Alec Baldwin run routes for the Chicago Bears and not catch passes. Yes, Robinson makes some amazing adjustments and catches, but wouldn’t enough be enough?

How would I handle the Allen Robinson situation if I were running the Chicago Bears?

If I were Ryan Pace and running the Chicago Bears organization, I would have difficulty justifying paying my talented receiver top dollar when he can’t produce because of the quarterbacks I chose. Waiting until a quarterback to come in and give him the ball correctly is pointless.

By the time a rookie quarterback from the 2021 NFL draft class would be ready, the Bears would have already lost too much talent to be relevant. If Allen Robinson wants to be a Chicago Bear for life, he needs to make that known.

If he doesn’t, he needs to ask management to move him elsewhere where he can thrive. That is what it comes down too. I respect and have enjoyed Robinson as a Chicago Bear. I want him to be a Bear for life. I also want the team to do what is best for the entire team. If that is trade Allen Robinson for JJ Watt or something good, so be it.

If that is Allen Robinson takes a home town discount and extends for another three to four years of around $50 million, awesome. But I fear the Chicago Bears in giving him Michael Thomas money. That is just bad business. As I am typing, this rumor has it that Allen Robinson has requested a trade.
