5 reasons for optimism for Bears in 2020

Believe it or not, despite a disappointing 2019 season, there are reasons to be optimistic about the Bears in 2020.

2. Receivers have a ton of potential

Chicago used to be where receivers went to die, but that’s not the case anymore. Allen Robinson is coming off a 1,000-yard season — and that was with the offense on life support for the majority of the season. Imagine what Robinson can accomplish with a decent offensive unit.

Aside from Robinson, the Bears have some young talent at receiver. Anthony Miller took awhile to get going, but when he finally did, he flashed amazing potential, including a five-game stretch of 33 receptions for 431 yards and two touchdowns. Then there are former Bulldogs Javon Wims and Riley Ridley, who look to be more involved in 2020. While Cordarrelle Patterson wasn’t involved much at receiver last season, he remains a weapon the Bears can employ at any moment.
