Which was actually my suggestion. You may recall Drew Dalman was a FA last year. I adamantly supported signing Dalman and moving Tippman to G. People were killing me for that. Tippman was not a very good Center and I still think we need to upgrade the C position, at least taking a C in the draft to develop.
Drew Dalman just unexpectedly retired at the age of 27. Now the Bears are going to be looking for a center. The C position just got very coveted in a short time.
I agree. Tippman played next to a bad center in Josh Myers. IMO - I feel Tippman is a better center than guard, ----- but people here on this site say that he wasn't good at line calls & therefore the rest of the line suffered from that.
I saw as well, that’s crazy! That was never even a factor or thought when CHI signed him and I still stand by my statement at the time when he was a FA. We need to improve the Center position. We need our next Mawae or Mangold.
