Last week, our very own Robert Zeglinski touched on the departure of Robbie Gould and the signing of Connor Barth. There isn’t a whole lot more to add to that dynamic, so I will let Robert’s article speak for itself.
Barth signed with the Bears prior to the 2016 season and was behind the eight-ball the minute that he signed his contract. He was replacing the Bears all-time leading scorer. The pressure of replacing Gould likely played a factor in Barth’s rough start to 2016.
