I can pretty much guarantee you that what they see in the building the other 6 days of the week is part of the evaluation process, and we shave no way of knowing what Poles thinks about what goes on there.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

You can "pretty much guarantee" whatever you'd like.

My opinion is that if they decide to keep him because of things he's doing on the 6 days of the week he doesn't play a game, rather than the one he does, that is a mistake.  That cool with you?

I'm actually curious on this.  In terms of who probably has a better grasp on what the Bears FO is thinking, do you think it's Brad Biggs or Troy Aikman?  One of them agrees with you, and the other one doesn't.

Brad Biggs has been wrong on a lot of stuff. He had the Bears drafting Jalen Carter (even at 9), So maybe he’s not as connected as you think. Maybe he’s running a disinformation campaign for them?

You didn't answer the question, I noticed.

Who is more likely to have visibility into the Bears FO's thinking?  Biggs or Troy Aikman?

Troy Aikman has also been wrong about a lot of stuff, but you seem to think him agreeing with you lends your opinion some kind of weight.

Neither opinion is necessarily MORE LIKELY to be right than the other.

It's an extremely simple question.  The fact that you refuse to answer it tells me something too though.

I don't know which of those two guys is right.  I think the guy whose job it is to have sources in the Bears organization probably has more visibility into their thought processes than the guy whose job it isn't, but that could be false too.

I think it's kind of silly to latch onto the opinion of one guy who has no way to know - and was notably wrong literally the last time we were in this situation - in an effort to validate your own opinion and invalidate the opinions of people who disagree with you, but it obviously fits.

That wasn't what I asked.

It's not, like, a complicated question.

Hub Arkush as far as I know doesn’t claim to know, I don’t know why Biggs would. He’s not “The Annointed One,” by any stretch.

Nor did I say he was, or say a word about Hub Arkush.

You are still avoiding the question I asked.

I think Biggs is offering his opinion. I’d bet you could find other beat reporters who don’t necessarily agree.

Biggs has been wrong before. And always has a stick in the mud take. Like when he blasted the “lost out crowd.” I’ll bet Ryan Poles is kind of glad they lost out.

If Brad Biggs were so connected maybe he’d have known that the Bears were so against the idea of taking Carter that they’d essentially trade him for a 5th round pick.

In one way, the fact that you’ve posted 6-8 times and completely avoided the simple question I asked is an answer in itself.
