Have no idea what’s going on with the Bears thread. Anyway:
Provided he’s not a trouble maker and has a clean(ish) driving record I’d be cool with bringing in Clowney.
-
On second thought, make it a perfect driving record. Wouldn’t want to take any chances.
-
There’s no way they were getting a 1 (especially next year) out of the Texans.

Seems to be locked.

Well, it was anyway.
Just figured I’d start a new one and move on from that abortion of a thread which I’m sure has 150 pages of Justin Fields arguments.

He probably locked it on accident.

He probably locked it on accident.
But he asked, in the pinned thread, how and why it got pinned. Then posted again in the same thread.
And he probably under estimated the number of Fields pages.

The thread was locked somehow and I unlocked it. Probably should have just deleted it.

Too bad Robb was not here to accuse him of being drunk, again.

I’ve been a “wait and see” on the Lions, but they’re having a pretty good off season. Thinking there’s a really good chance they take Jalen Carter at 6.
Not sure if I mentioned this, but a week ago the Bears were considered the 2nd choice to win the NFC North next year (basically tied with Minnesota). Lions are preseason favorites. Still not sure I’m buying into Dan Campbell.

It’s not Colin Cowherd, but it’ll have to do.

Bears sign another Titan, Dylan Cole. Athletic LB who started 8 games last year and will almost certainly be a special teams core member. One year deal.
-
Besides the draft, I think a lot of stuff is gonna be one-year deals to fill in for this year and then roll all that cal space into next year where Poles will finish the rebuild.
Next year will be much better and a clearer picture of what’s left to be needed long-term after this year plays out.

Yeah, minus the draft we should be seeing a lot 1 year deals coming. Still a lot of holes to fill, and can’t fill the entire roster with long-term players in one year.

Plus the draft and free agency next year should be pretty good. This was kind of a shitty year for both.

Never understood why the Bears never went after him… especially on a cheap one year deal.

Agreed. If he could be had on a one year deal he’d have helped put this WR corps over the top.

This is my prediction for the 2023 Chicago Bears:
They will draft Stetson Bennett in the 5th or 6th round.
After Fields starts the year 2-7, there will be calls for Stetson Bennet to be Bears QB. Tempo will cry “something something meathead, something something racism, etc”.

Who said anything about his work ethic? I have no clue. The reading of defenses has been a problem. Is a test on an iPad the same reading defenses and learning the playbook? Did he have Claypool yelling at him to throw the damn ball when he was taking the iPad test?

Also, Cole Kmet sucked royally his first two years at a position that’s much easier than QB. So even if it’s true, I’m not sure he’s the one to be spearheading the Justin Fields doubt train.
-
Every QB in the NFL obviously has the talent or they wouldn’t be there. The biggest difference between the good/greats and the bad/worst is their ability to process defenses and go through progressions quickly. Yeah, some aren’t as talented as others obviously, but they can make up for that with really knowing what they are doing and making the right play. Fields has the tools to do it, but does he have the ability to process that stuff?! It’s yet to be seen. I think he can, but will he?!

Meaning he is with the Bears this year. Next meaning 2024.

I looked up Whitehair’s contract and apparently he is signed through 2024. Seems a prime candidate to be a cap casualty next year, though.

My point was that if they had drafted Adebawore that there could have been significant optimism about the front 7 as well.
-
Dan weiderer was on the score, and Laurence Holmes asked him an interesting question that touches on my point about Wright last week. Did the Bears like Wright more than they didn’t like Jalen Carter. Said he couldn’t really say, but said the Bears were super impressed with the apparently brutal workout they put Wright through the day before Easter.
Also mentioned that Carter quit on his pro day work out and would have “tapped out” even earlier if Nolan Smith hadn’t been there pushing him to keep going.
Interesting stuff. I’d love to know their reasoning for having no interest in Adebawore.

I’d love to have 3 talented rookies battling for playing time on the DL. I think the FA guys they signed are solid if not standout players.

How funny (and awesome) would it be if Roschon Johnson turns out to be the All-Pro RB for the Bears instead of Bijan Robinson? The “character” reviews for this guy are off the charts.

Add nastiness to the Bears’ player profile. Just about everyone they drafted plays with an “edge” to them (or so I’ve been hearing).

Went through all his clothes and threw three garbage bags full of old clothes in the garage.

Just perused a list of declined options, a few interesting names but didn’t see anyone that would be an obvious fit for the Bears. A couple or cornerbacks that might have been had they not just drafted two that I think will be solid.
I’m about half convinced Poles is going to trade for Chase Young. Have no idea what the asking price would be. Thoughts?

I don't follow the Washington Football Team, but hasn't Young missed a lot of games? They are declining his 5th year, right?

Yes. But if the price is right, worth a shot. Missed games might be enough to turn Poles off, though. Most of his draftees are guys who play every game. Would be crazy not to take a shot on him if the price is fair IMO.
-
I would have given the 9th pick for Young and the 16th pick, though.

It’s not a big deal. If I were his dad I’d maybe just tell him to try to be a little more humble in front of reporters. Less ammo in case he gets off to a rough start.
Again, not a big deal at all, but just a little weird to hear a kid induct himself into the HOF a few days after getting drafted.

I suspect self-assuredness is one of the reasons the Bears were interested in him to begin with.

Will Levis was apparently pretty self-assured, too. As I said, it’s not a big deal. Just rather he’d ease it back a hair. On the scale of faux pas’ this one barely registers.

It’s an exceedingly stupid take. 9 teams in a row passed on Carter. 8 of them did it for free, and one got something back for it. To single out the one guy who actually got return for passing on Carter is self evidently dumb as fuck, even among the NFL take machine.
The notion that it’d have been better if, like the other 8 guys, Poles had just passed on him is not even worthy of as much discussion as we’ve done on it here. Laughable take.

Well, 1/3 of those teams needed a QB. Which is obviously the most valued position. A couple of others chose the best DE and CB in the draft (probably equally good and safer players). There were legitimate options in the top 7-8 picks. I think when Carter was there at 9 there was no doubt who the most talented player left in the draft was (and he was talent/need wise the most obvious fit for the Bears). Not saying this take wasn’t hot takey, it kind of is. But it’s not like Carter is Connor Bedard, the clear cut obvious choice everyone would take.
-
Carter was supposedly the #1 most talented player in the draft from the beginning, according to like everyone I read. Was he not? It was all anyone talked about before the draft - the easy top talent with off field character and work ethic issues.
So every single team in front of the Bears passed on the most talented guy for free. Yes, they got the guys they wanted - but so did the Bears. The Bears also got a 4th round pick for the honor, whereas all the teams in front of them just got their guy - and the only GM who got paid to take the guy he wanted is the only GM being criticized.
It's not 'hot takey', it's self evidently stupid as fuck. One second of reasonable thought shows you that its beyond idiotic.
-
Well you’re flat out wrong on this one Spark. At least 3 QBs were going top 4, nothing was changing that. Anderson was deemed every bit Carter’s equal. He was probably the best/safest pick in the draft. And probably #1 on more boards. Once you get to Seattle then you can justify taking the best CB in the draft over a riskier Jalen Carter. It’s really only about 6 on down where you can start to apply this criticism. Raiders went with a guy nearly as highly regarded who has an incredibly high ceiling and not all the character concerns. ATL clearly was smoking from their own bong and going with the guy some felt was the best overall player in the draft (certainly offensively). They want to run the ball and then run it some more. If the Bears had had the first pick, and couldn’t have traded down they would have certainly taken Carter if not for the character concerns. There’s at least 4-5 other teams that weren’t picking a DT 1st regardless. They wanted QBs and Will Anderson.
It’s reasonably fair to label Poles as the guy who passed on Carter because of the more than obvious need/scheme fit/talent projection.
-
I'm shocked - SHOCKED! - that you're defending the most meatbally take to ever be uttered.
It's a horrendous take. If Carter is some uber-talent, everyone who passed on him deserves criticism. The team that got something to pass on him obviously deserves less under any circumstance than the teams that let him fall for free.
If he's not an uber-talent (which, despite the revisionist history he ABSOLUTELY has been sold as for a year or more, thus all the "if he's Warren Sapp where's the production?" discussions), well then obviously the Bears passing, getting the guy they actually wanted, and getting a pick for the honor is an even better move.
No matter the scenario, every team in the top-9 passed on him. One of them got paid to do it. That team is the one being criticized. No way around that being stupid as fuck, sorry.
If Poles is the guy that let him go for a fourth rounder, the 8 guys in front of him are the guy who let him go for nothing.
-
Half of those teams were not taking him regardless Spark. What do you not understand here? He’s not Connor Bedard.
-

He was sold as a generational talent all year. Let's not pretend he wasn't, please. He was compared to Warren Sapp and Aaron Donald consistently.
ALL of those teams were not taking him regardless, including the Bears - obviously, since they all had the opportunity to take him and passed. 8 of them did it for free, one of them got a pick for it.
-
Meaning he wasn’t the #1 prospect on everyone’s board. And he doesn’t play quarterback, which makes a big difference. Indy wasn’t taking him. Carolina wasn’t taking him. Houston probably wasn’t taking him.
-
Seattle wasn't taking him. Arizona wasn't, Las Vegas wasn't. Atlanta wasn't and Chicago wasn't.
One of those teams got paid not to take him. The rest did it for free.
-
By the 9th pick he was clearly the best talent left. All of the other picks can be justified. Raiders went with extremely high upside/better character. Seattle went best CB in draft. Arizona chose to invest in Kyler Murray and try to salvage their investment in him.
By #9 Carter was far and away the most talented player and an obvious fit for the Bears talent/scheme wise. This isn’t controversial. You’re wrong on this one.
-
Atlanta passed on him because they are a losing organization. If you want to grill them, feel free.
-
He was, by all accounts, among the top 2-3 talents in the draft. So by the 3rd or 4th pick, he was the most talented player left - if not the 1st pick.
EVERYONE passed on him and got the guy they wanted instead. 8 of them did it for free, 1 got paid. To criticize the one guy who actually got something in return for him instead of the guys in front of him who did it for free is so self evidently stupid that fucking of course you buy it.
Meatball shit is like one of those fly zapper lights to you. Drawn in so consistently by self evidently poor emotional logic.
-
Again, Carter wasn’t the “consensus” #1. He was certainly #1 on his share of boards, but at least 3 teams were passing on him even without the character concerns.
-
Atlanta passed on him because they are a losing organization. If you want to grill them, feel free.
8 teams passed on him. If you want to say "there were one or two more talented players so those guys weren't passing" then fine, 6 teams passed on him.
All six got the guys they actually wanted Five did it for free. One got paid to do it. You're justifying criticizing the only guy who got paid to take the prospect he actually wanted. It's fucking insanity on its face, the purest meatball NFL nonsense.
-
Again, Carter wasn’t the “consensus” #1. He was certainly #1 on his share of boards, but at least 3 teams were passing on him even without the character concerns.
Consensus top-3, absolutely. Sold as the most talented prospect pretty much 100% of the time until the accident stuff came out. Agree?
I love this revising history thing, it's hilarious. It's a thin line you're trying to walk. "He wasn't so talented that it didn't make sense for the first 8 teams to pass on him, but he's such a talent that the 9th team (who also didn't want him) getting paid to pass on him is worthy of criticism."
He's either an uber-talent, or he's not. If he's an uber-talent, then the teams in front of the Bears are surely more worthy of criticism - they passed on him without even getting paid to do it! That's the best case scenario for you, because if he's not an uber-talent, then getting paid to not take a guy you didn't even want is an even better move. Seems like your evaluation of his talent changes depending on which way you want to argue.

Again….at least 1/3 of the teams picking in front of the Bears were drafting a QB. Which is completely and utterly defensible. Then you start wading the talent/risk waters and things get murkier. By #9 there was zero question who the best talent left on the board was. If not for the character concerns he’s was the obvious choice/fit for the Bears (even more than other teams). I’m not going to argue this with you all day. You either understand this or you don’t.
-
No, I don’t agree. Will Anderson was #1 on more boards I would guess based on my recollection.

About 4-5 “Uber talents” (non QBs) went before Carter as well. For the 3rd time, he’s not the Connor Bedard of this draft. No one was. That’s why a 5’10 QB went #1 and a QB who apparently can’t spell cat went #2.

I understand it perfectly: you're the same meatball you've always been, prone to obviously faulty logic to justify your emotional reactions.
If there was any question when the first pick was on the clock - which is certainly debatable - Carter was definitely considered the top talent left by pick #5 or 6. Every one of those teams passed on him for free. If Carter is a stud, every one of those GMs is far more worthy of criticism than Poles - and that's 'granting' your point about QBs and talented CB/DE. They passed on Carter too, but didn't even get paid to do it.

This narrative fully changed after the accident stuff came out, surely you're willing to acknowledge that?
EVERYONE said Carter was the easy top talent in this draft for a year or two before that came out. Please don't pretend they didn't. He was The Guy for a long time in this draft, until character concerns popped up.
-
If he was the runaway top prospect, he would have went higher. There were 7-8 players other teams felt had similar upside with less risk. After that, no one was particularly close.
-

Hahahahaha of course.
Everyone who went in front of him was more talented debatably, but the Bears pick wasn't.
The facts are: The top-10 draft picks, the teams each got the guy they wanted with the pick. The Bears managed to get their guy, AND get paid to do it, and you find that worthy of criticism.
Again: prone to obviously faulty logic to justify your own emotional reaction. Clear as day.

What changed is his stock dropped. He was never going #1 nor was he considered the runaway top talent. He was certainly top 2-3 on most boards. He was never going in the top 2. Those two teams were always picking QB. And Indy was never taking him, as evidenced that they took a raw physical specimens at QB at 4.

Yes, his stock dropped. Not because of his talent though, his stock dropped because of off field concerns. Obviously there were 9 teams in the first 9 spots in the draft who, despite his talent, did not find him worth the risk. One of those 10 got something in return (well, two, but the Lions' move is far more obviously worthy of criticism than Poles' move was), and that's the one you're criticizing.
-
No, not EVERYONE. I saw Anderson ranked #1 most often, even before the accident. Certainly Carter was top 2-3 not considering QBs.

You too, enjoy the Fazolis.
-
Carter’s stock started to drop (a little) even before the accident. You don’t remember all the “where the hell was Jalen Carter?” talk after the Ohio State game?
-
Again, Carter was clearly neck and neck with Anderson on draft boards. But he was never the unquestioned #1 player like a Bedard. Especially if you consider several teams in the top 5 were definitely going QB.

Yeah, I don’t think so. A third of the teams (at least) were always passing on Carter. That’s why a 5’10 190 pound quarterback went #1.
If Carter was viewed as the Connor Bedard of the draft, he’d have a point. That was never the case, not even before the accident. Will Anderson was #1 on more boards.
So that means half of the first 8 teams were passing on him regardless.
-
Was Jalen Carter just as overwhelmingly the choice at 1 as he was at 9? That is a preposterous take.
-
Was Jalen Carter just as overwhelmingly the choice at 1 as he was at 9? That is a preposterous take.
Nobody is saying that.
-
Nobody is saying that.
Spark is. He says 8 teams all “passed on him too,” not taking need or risk into the equation.
Half of these teams at least were not taking Carter. Even before the accident.
The other half took the best player in the draft at their position with exception to the Raiders going with a guy thought to have as high of a ceiling as any player in the draft (without the character concerns).
Once Carter fell to 9 he was far and away the top talent left. Some people were saying Bijan Robinson was the best player in the draft, period. Once we were sitting at 9 with the Bears the obvious choice talent/scheme/need wise was Carter. The same can’t be said for all of the previous 8 teams.
Half of those teams weren’t taking him no matter what. So, yeah, putting more of the microscope on the Bears regarding Carter is reasonably fair. Some professional mockers had Carter to the Bears at 1 (before the trade). That was never going to be the case once Charlotte traded up. They didn’t trade to to draft Jalen Carter.
Two reasons this position doesn’t hold water:
1) Carter was never the CLEAR best player in the draft (though he was right there with Anderson)
2) At least 3 teams were going QB no matter what. From there it was just best player at a premium position and risk evaluation. That is a sliding table that has moved pretty considerably once you get to the 9th pick.
I’m guessing Seattle feels pretty good about their decision to take the best CB in the draft. And Arizona probably feels pretty good about trying to make sure Kyler Murray has every chance to resurrect his career by giving him a LT, the first one off the board. There were no “1st/best player at a premium position” left once we got to 9.
-
So Spark is taking his “they didn’t want him” take he used to defend the Bears’ choice, and discarding that perspective for the first 8 teams of the draft. They didn’t want him. Why? Because they either needed a QB, by far the most important position in the NFL or took their top choice at premium position (DE, CB, LT). The two exceptions to that are the Raiders, who took a very high ceiling DL (who the Bears probably take if he is there), and the Falcons who drafted the best RB prospect in 5-10 years. The Falcons this year might end up making last years’ Bears look pass heavy…
Again, it’s a sliding table. And the table had slid considerably once we got to 9. A team that desperately wants a 3Tech for their defense. Not a quarterback, DE, or RB. Context matters here.
-
The Bears didn’t pass on Carter because of lack of need or talent.
-
So I think viewing Carter through the Bears’ microscope is reasonably fair, but can also be a bit “hot takey.” It can be both.
-
Should the Panthers, Texans, and Colts really be viewed on Jalen Carter in the same light as the Bears? That’s absurd. Again, he was not Connor Bedard, nor was he ever. QBs were always the priority up top.
-
Is there anyone here who would rank RT above QB, Edge/DL, CB, (or even generational RB) in terms of value to an NFL team?
-
But yeah, “everyone else passed on Jalen Carter, too” is indeed an “accurate” statement…
-
Are you just arguing with yourself at this point, Tempo?
-
Are you just arguing with yourself at this point, Tempo?
Sit down, ankle biter.
Who deserves more of the microscope? Pete Carrol for taking a CB worthy of being a top 5 pick? Or Ryan Poles who took a RT instead of the dynamic 3Tech his defense woefully needs 4 picks later?
It really makes me laugh that you guys accuse me of lacking an understanding of “nuance.”
That’s not to say that what Poles did was “wrong…”
-
Are you just arguing with yourself at this point, Tempo?
Yep. But he was right several pages ago.
-
Oh look, Tempo’s misrepresenting my point again
-
Lol
-
Oh look, Tempo’s misrepresenting my point again
What’s your point other than “everyone passed on the generational DT?”
-
Yep. But he was right several pages ago.
Speaking of ankle biting. You are their champion.
-
ALL of those teams were not taking him regardless, including the Bears - obviously, since they all had the opportunity to take him and passed. 8 of them did it for free, one of them got a pick for it.
Again, nice of you to notice that teams seeking a quarterback, or opting to take what they viewed as the best player in the draft at a premium position with the possible of exceptions of Vegas and ATL who clearly had valid reasons for taking who they took. Poles was the first guy to take a non-premium position, while passing on clearly the best player left at a position of dire need. Again, that’s not to say he was “wrong.”
So what was your point again? That other teams didn’t basically “trade Jalen Carter for a draft pick?”
You can’t understand why Carter to the Bears at 9 made more sense than Carter to Indy at 4? Is this really your position?
-
You are (seemingly) arguing from a position that Carter was the overwhelming choice for best player. At 1, it was a debate. Especially pre-accident. At 9, he was far and away the best talent.
-
Early January, I’d venture to guess that 60-65% of mocks had Anderson as the #1 player. Probably 25% Carter, the rest Bryce Young.
-
If we’re operating from the viewpoint that Carter was head and shoulders the best player in the draft, Spark’s point would hold water. That just not the case. Even if there were no character issues, probably 10 teams in the league take a QB #1. The rest of the teams in the league are probably mostly split on Anderson and Carter. With probably a lean to Anderson due to consistency of play.
It’s absurd to view Chris Ballard at 4 or even Pete Carroll at 5 in the exact same vein as the Bears at 9.
-
Some people were saying Bijan Robinson was “the best player in the draft.” Once you got past Carter, no one was saying “Peter Skoronski is the best player in the draft.”
-
Looks like the short answer is "Yes."
-
Looks like the short answer is "Yes."

Well, when they make sure to highlight very specific quotes that echo what they’ve been saying for 8 months; that would seem like an endorsement.

It is odd that it seemingly is a common occurrence in response to posts you make. Must just be a coincidence?
I’ll try and get better at explaining shit that’s already painfully obvious to anyone who’s not being a disingenuous schmuck. My bad.

Have to say, I’m happy with my decision to just wait for the schedule to come out, rather than try to guess where and what time they are playing…
The optimist in me says 10-7 (largely due to favorable schedule). The realist in me says 8-9 would be a reasonable level of improvement.

Yeah definitely read the article first! And just know nothing has actually happened yet. No games are ACTUALLY won or lost and it’s JUST predictions. Otherwise Robb is gonna come out of his grave and accuse you of disinformation again. Keep up the good work. The few previous posts have good disclaimers on them. Good job, buddy! I’m proud of you and the strides you continue to make!
-
Yeah, no. The schedule looks pretty “easy” to me. The only two games I’d put in the definite loss column are KC and LA (still sounds weird calling the Chargers LA). There are a couple/three teams that could be better than I think they’ll be, but there aren’t many world beaters on the schedule.

Over/Under 7.5 win total: Under
The Bears may be the toughest team to read in the NFL. Almost every year, someone goes worst to first. They play a reasonably soft schedule and kept some games close last year. They still ended the year as the worst team in football, though. Justin Fields has to be better from the pocket, as Chicago won’t go anywhere if he doesn't better his 54.4 passing grade. The Bears could win anywhere from four to 11 games. We’ll have to see the latter happen before we believe it.

Could easily be a scenario in which the starters and regular core players don’t play a full half in any game. Although I could see Flus playing starters longer.

Then I don’t think you were watching closely. The team looked well coached and disciplined. They had marginal players was the problem. They would play well for a while, then falter when they got tired because they weren’t that good and had no depth whatsoever.
-
I love that he acts like the guys they traded did not play from the start.
Khalil Mack played from the start? Jonathon Quinn shot his wad the year before. He was not that good (but still the best DL). That’s why they only got a late 4th for him. The defense was basically Roquan and like 3 others guys. You are seriously a football moron. Thankfully for you Dom inhabits these forums, saving you from being the dumbest football mind here. Although it’s up for debate between you two. Mn “would rather have had a couple more wins and drafted 8th“ is also in the team photo.
-

Imagine looking at last years’ Chicago Bear roster and thinking they had what it took to “win.” And for the record, they did beat SF and dominated the GOAT at his place. Dismantling the roster was still the right move. Perhaps you remember Belichick having a word with Flus after the game. That was certainly a sign of respect for how Flus was building his culture.

Guessing Bernstein has not lately discussed that coaching is an issue if your team is not in shape to play 4 quarters. See Matt Nagy Era.

LOL.
If you recall, they were 2-1 and then lost 3 close games, in part because the Wingback sucked in a Pro Offense. They then started tanking by trading the guys on defense (while wasting. 2 pick on a WR, who yelled at the Wingback on the sidelines because said Wingback could not throw the ball to him).
You act like the tank was the plan all along. Talk about dumb takes. Stupid.

Don’t take mine or Bernstein’s word for it. Take Flus’ and Belichick’s
"It was obviously a private conversation, but I can just generalize and say that he was complimentary of the way we’re doing things and what we’re building here," Eberflus said Tuesday of his conversation with Belichick. "That was what the whole conversation was and it was just complimentary of how we’re doing things."
"Obviously a poor performance tonight," Belichick said after the game. "I know we were badly outcoached, outplayed. Just didn't do anything well enough in the game to have a chance to win or deserve to win. Bears did a good job. Totally controlled the game in all three phases."

Oh, by the way, Ebeflus’ practices are notoriously “hard,” so saying he didn’t do enough to get them in shape is even more hysterical. If you paid attention to anything other than your own ego, you’d know this.
-
Again, imagine the level of idiocy it takes to look at the fact that the Bears led the league in dead cap, 1 year contracts on fringe players; and expecting to win in the first year of a new regime that clearly prioritized turning over the roster. All time level dumb. I take it back, Dom is not the dumbest football mind here.

Did Dan McNeil convince you this should have been a playoff team last year?
-
LOL.
If you recall, they were 2-1 and then lost 3 close games, in part because the Wingback sucked in a Pro Offense. They then started tanking by trading the guys on defense (while wasting. 2 pick on a WR, who yelled at the Wingback on the sidelines because said Wingback could not throw the ball to him).
You act like the tank was the plan all along. Talk about dumb takes. Stupid.
They never game themselves a chance against GB. Running shotgun sneaks at the goal line. It was a collaborative effort. They played “not to lose” the first month or so. Ebeflus got smart and realized that wasn’t going to work and started taking more chances.
You really are an idiot supreme if you can’t see that winning was never really the expectation. Sure, they “wanted” to win. But there’s no way Poles and Flus didn’t know that it was a big uphill battle. Only a complete moron would expect a rookie HC, rookie OC, rookie DC, 2nd year QB to lead an absolutely barren roster to a playoff berth; or anything all that close. Byron Pringle was easily their highest paid WR for Christ sakes.

Byron Pringle is still a FA btw.

For a guy who claims to know football one would think to know that you can’t compete for 4 quarters with the fringiest of starters and even worse depth. You hear all the time about good teams have a “rotation of bodies,” especially on the D line. The Bears had nothing of the sort. Fire Poles!

I am guilty of saying Justin Fields could get better at being an NFL quarterback, and that Belichick praised Eberflus, which he did. That’s about it. Keep up the good work InflammatoryForNoReasonMan.
Belichick talked to Eberlose after the game!
-
They never game themselves a chance against GB. Running shotgun sneaks at the goal line. It was a collaborative effort. They played “not to lose” the first month or so. Ebeflus got smart and realized that wasn’t going to work and started taking more chances.
You really are an idiot supreme if you can’t see that winning was never really the expectation. Sure, they “wanted” to win. But there’s no way Poles and Flus didn’t know that it was a big uphill battle. Only a complete moron would expect a rookie HC, rookie OC, rookie DC, 2nd year QB to lead an absolutely barren roster to a playoff berth; or anything all that close. Byron Pringle was easily their highest paid WR for Christ sakes.
Maybe if the Wingback knew how to play QB they could have eeked out a victory over the Commanders instead of losing 12-7. Given all of his offseason work at the Bulls game and graduation he has put in, he should be ready to be a top 10 passing QB!

It is great that you STILL cannot figure out why the Bear offensive play calling was what it was last year.

Just in case you’re confused on what happened, Justin Fields delivers a well thrown ball at the goal line that is a winning touchdown if not bobbled by Mooney. But again, it’s Fields’ fault!

What’s “great” is you STILL don’t understand how…
1) most dead cap space in league
2) tons of fringe players on 1 year deals (because those players couldn’t find better contracts)
3) trading away best players
4) Rookie GM, Rookie HC, Rookie OC, Rookie DC, 2nd year quarterback
5) leftovers of talent barren Ryan Pace roster
Didn’t lead to a playoff contender…

But the Bears setting a record for consecutive home losses, consecutive losses and the worst record in the NFL and knowing that Belichek apparently told Eberflus the Bears are doing the right things maybe called for another drink. Or 3-5 extra.
Realistically though, what did you expect from last year? The talent was awful. They didn't have any draft capital.And they had no money to spend. Would you really have preferred going 7-10 and having nothing but the 13th pick in the draft to show for it? Because that is completely illogical.
-
For an NFL charter team that set a franchise record for consecutive losses, I'm not sure that I expected the 'Belichek talked to Eberflus post-game' argument and a continuation of 'ESB dropped the perfectly thrown spiral costing the Bears a victory because everyone knows he would have ended up in the end zone but they couldn't win anyway because they have no talent and it's part of the tanking process' arguments. In May.

In May.
There’s about 6 ways in which you’re being obtuse or flat out wrong here.
1) “NFL charter franchise record losing streak” is a strawman. For several of reasons. One, they’ve had a couple of worse or just as bad seasons. They also played more games which allowed them to set the record for losses. They also weren’t prioritizing winning (for the 30th time). Are you really going to fault Poles for trying to clean up the mess left behind by Ryan Pace? Could you not see that he was tearing the whole thing down on purpose? I could spend 5 minutes on this first strawman alone.
2) I merely pointed out that Belichick was clearly impressed by what Ebeflus is doing. Why? Because Belichick is smart enough to know that Eberflus didn’t beat him with the better/more talented team. The fact that Belichick took time to speak to Eberflus after getting his ass kicked by him was a clear sign of respect. It guarantees nothing. Just shows that some smart football people like what they see. And of course, you ran hook, line, and sinker with PAMan’s unclever bit.
3) The ESB drop isn’t the one alluded to here. It was Mooney’s bobble at the goal line. PAMan said “if JFC were a little better at quarterback perhaps they could have eeked out a win against the Commanders.” Well I showed him a video that proves the opportunity for a win was there and it wasn’t botched by Fields. Also, no one is saying the Bears win the (other) game if ESB makes his catch, but it was 4th down and did end any chance the Bears had of winning that game. So clearly Fields wasn’t to blame for everything that went wrong as you guys like to claim.
4) Again, for the slow-learners here. As evidenced by the lack of spending, trading away of best players, lack of draft resources, and lack of NFL quality depth and starters; “winning (with a rookie HC, OC, DC, and 2nd year QB) was not a realistic goal. They were competitive in most games. That was by and large a success given all that they were dealing with.
5) The Franchise is unquestionably better off having gone 3-14 and getting multiple high value draft picks and a legitimate #1 WR rather than having gone a meaningless 7-10 and merely getting the 13th pick to show for it. Only a legitimate moron would argue differently. Purging the roster of bad contracts and saving that coin for years 2 and 3 was unquestionably the right move. Just because there are guys out there with the letter C on their helmet doesn’t mean they can realistically be expected to “win.” Ryan Poles and Matt Nagy were fired for a reason. They lost too much and their roster largely stunk. That can’t be fixed in one off season. Especially when the organization is cash strapped and draft capital deficient. I could easily go on, but should i need to?
-
6) And I don’t know what the fuck “it’s only May” even means…

You’re being trolled, Tempo. You’re the one falling for it hook, line, and sinker. The reason it seems insane what they’re saying is because it’s an act.

I’ve agreed with almost everything you’ve said, but I don’t wanna do THIS everyday into MAY, so I just say my peace and dip out. It’s not THAT important to repeat the same thing repeatedly 3-5 months AFTER the season is over. You’re being trolled and apparently it’s working or you’re just not being smart enough to realize it.

If only Hightower would have made the td catch vs the Hoosiers more obvious, DeVito would have gotten the win.
If only the wr hadn't leaped too early, he would have caught the td pass for the win. An All-American would have caught it.

If they get off on it, it says more about them than it does me. PAMan definitely does some trolling (but due to his willingness to look idiotic, I think also believes much of what he says). I think Mn would legitimately rather have won 7 games last year and been drafting 13th.

I do not think it is in the competitive spirit to have a sports model that rewards losing as much as the NBA and NFL do. It makes for a bunch of shitty meaningless games, but people still fall all over themselves to watch them and obsess over them even in May, so why would they change anything?

Blame the contracts. Specifically for quarterbacks. It’s idiotic that the most precious thing an NFL franchise can have is a top QB on a rookie deal. It handcuffs everything else. All pro sports are like this. The Blackhawks went into the tank after they paid their star players. The Cubs and Sox both had to tank to rebuild. It is what it is.

You actually see less (purposeful) tanking in the NFL than other sports.

Yeah it is what it is, which has turned me off to the NBA and NFL in general. Maybe I’m the only one that can’t get excited about sports where teams are losing on purpose. Seems like there could be a better way.

I've told him. I've watched Bears games for longer than he's been alive.
Separately, I don't advocate for tanking. 3-14 is 3-14. A franchise record for consecutive losses is an unwanted franchise record.
And I've seen plenty of bad Illini football. The punter was the MVP one year.

Ram has real serious cap issues....

Question for you Tempo...
Dumpy Dan McNeil was talking about Kaplan saying that JFC has "no shot" at being a Top 10 QB this year. Dumpy said, yeah, JFC has had his issues, but after you get through (in no order) Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson, Herbert, Allen, and last year Hurts, the rest are "guys," aren't they? So why not think that JFC can be a top 10 QB this year?
While I think the odds may be against it, I still agree with Dumpy Dan. Your thoughts?
-
Of course I think JF can be a top 10 quarterback this year. Am I guaranteeing it, no, of course not. I’d say he has an excellent chance of being in that 2nd tier though.
-
More likely to be top 3rd than bottom 3rd IMO.
-
There are always decent guys who are cap casualties, no?
It’s unlikely any Super Bowl odds will change significantly due to free agent acquisitions at this point. We pretty much know what each team will look like barring significant injuries.

I’m glad Montgomery is gone.
I don't know enough to really comment but I did kind of laugh when I saw the thing where he was like "glad to feel like I'm wanted".
Didn't they just jump way out to take an RB in the top half of the first round?

The Lion did draft one. They also got rid of one too.
He's probably happy to be in an offense where the RBs are featured in the running plays.

Being excited that Belichick spoke with Flus and 'team culture" on the heels of a 12-7 loss to the Commanders was, and is, hilarious.
-
“Excited?” I merely mentioned that the GOAT had a lot of praise for the way Flus and the Bears were building things.
-
And again, you’re too stupid to realize that last years’ team was in no way “built to win.” They literally traded their two most valuable players days after a thrashing of the Patriots in Foxboro.
And mathematically still in the playoff picture.
-
And also again, if Darnell Mooney doesn’t double clutch a pass at the goal line the Bears would have won your obviously precious game against the Commanders.

Swift is a far better playmaker than Montgomery. I’m guessing they got tired of him missing games. But curiously, they never really let him have a full load. Even when he was healthy.

Holy crap. The sad part is you actually believe this. Perfect example of your strawman construction excellence.
Quote from: Tempo34 on April 23, 2023, 05:08:07 PM
Man, if the Bears had just drafted 5 or 6 Oklahoma quarterbacks in the 1st round the last 30 years things would have been soooo much different.
No, it would not have. They were all systems guys.
-
You once praised the Oklahoma quarterbacks (all of them) to support your point not long ago.
Question for ThePAMan:
Let’s say Justin Fields has a terrible year and the Bears have the first pick in next years’ draft. Would you take a pass on Caleb Williams because Sam Darnold, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, Cody Kessler, Matt Barkley, Rodney Peete, Sean Salisbury, Vince Evans and Todd Marinovich all sucked?
The difference is the different coaching staffs at USC which now has Lincoln Riley. A smarter question would have been using Riley's OK QBs as comps. But yes, given Riley as a common denominator of sorts, there should be pause for concern.
OSU has been consistent in the offense it has used since Urban. Ergo the problem with OSU QBs over time.
-
You once praised the Oklahoma quarterbacks (all of them) to support your point not long ago.
Yes. Lincoln Riley has a long history of developing successful NFL QBs.
List:
Jalen Hurts (1 year), who kind of sucked his first two years in the NFL.
Which is the point if you were not so blind.
Baker and Murray his guys too. Hurts was there a year?
-
Maybe this was more of your after-the-fact sarcasm?
-
Impressive research skills. I think you finally won a point. Congrats, it’s been a while.
But I’m pretty sure you pointed at Oklahoma and Riley as a successful quarterback Factory. Wouldn’t doubt you made both points there. You sometimes argue both sides hoping you won’t get called on it.

Why Evans but not Hopkins? Isn't Hopkins but 1 year older?
I think Evans’ skillset better serves Fields. Bigger, more explosive. Still very good on all 3 levels, though. I think Hopkins is on the decline, and makes about 10 mil a year more than Evans. Didn’t realize Hopkins was cut, though (apparently?). Hopkins to a team like KC or Jacksonville makes more sense than Chicago.

The Claypool trade was probably Poles’ biggest blunder so far. Maybe by a lot. Didn’t like it from day 1. There’s a reason the Steelers were happy to let him go.

Don’t see the point in trading him. Unless they are convinced he won’t make the team. You’re not going to get a good pick for him (4th or higher) I wouldn’t think. I hated the pick on draft day 2022 but might as well give him a shot. Not sure they have 6 other WRs totally worthy of spots over him. 4, but not 6.

Looks like PAMan’s worries are for naught. Fields watching film confirmed.
“Just kind of how dedicated he is," Scott told NBC Sports Chicago on the latest episode of the Under Center Podcast. "We were on our way to the United Center one day for a team outing, and he got on a bus, and we're kind of sitting next to each other, and the whole bus ride, he had his iPad out, and he was watching film from practice, the whole time watching film. Everybody else is on our phones or talking it up, and he was sitting in front of us watching film.

You two have to be the densest people here. For the 250th time. A team that trades away their top two veterans after a road win, and is already starting a large group of one year stop gap players literally isn’t placing the emphasis on “winning.”
-
The only team you could argue had less talent than the Bears last year was Houston. But “Flus finished last in his first year.” lol
-
I do recall the time Belichick spoke with Eberlose and admired the Bear Culture after the Pats game.

The fact that you two think that's a clever response is everything. PAMan calling someone else a meatball is the ultimate in unintentional comedy.

3 things that DEFINITELY happened last year.
1) The Bears started the season with a bottom 3 roster in the NFL.
2) Ryan Poles intentionally made it worse in-season.
3) Bill Belichick praised Eberflus for "doing things the right way."
PAMan: "Lololololol But where were the wins?"

I recall that only losing 12 - 9 to the Commander was a great coaching job by Flus.

Again, you are a textbook meatball.
-
"How can Flus be any good? He lost 12-7 to the Commanders..." - Renowned football expert
-
The Bears dominated the game statistically, but lost the turnover battle 0-2. But what does a close loss loss to another bad team in a single game say about the coach? Very little. "If I just catch the damn ball the first time, we win." - Darnell Mooney
https://youtu.be/c-yjdwix59Y
-
Everybody who plays in a loss can probably say 'if I only would have ......'
-
Lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol…
-
If Fields had been picked off on that play I’d be willing to bet you’re outlook wouldn’t be, “Oh well, we lost collectively.” What a joke.
-

It was even worse than I recalled. Must have been due to the bleeding eyes when watching that game.

Mooney's W-L record as a starter probably sucks.

Butt hurt over a CBS worst coach ranking and a loss 9 months ago. Lol.
-
Let me settle the debate once and for all:
It is true the Bears had little talent and weren’t going to win many games regardless.
It is also true that Fields hasn’t shown much at all as a passer to give many people hope that he’s going to flip the switch.
Now let it go and let’s see how it plays out.

Yes, because 12-7 is dramatically worse than 12-9.

Yes, because 12-7 is dramatically worse than 12-9.
The use of "dramatically" is straw. I just typed "worse." Yes, 12 - 7 is worse than 12 - 9.

Well, Fitzee will now have no qualms taking the Bear job
next year when they move on from Flus.

Yep. “Even worse.” A whole 2 points. Proof positive Eberlose can’t coach.

Which gets back to your apparent “Fitz was always clearly a bad guy” take. He was rumored to be a candidate for the Bears and Packers. I don’t think he was a super serious candidate, but he was widely thought of as a “character guy, leader of men” type. Apparently he had almost everyone fooled.
What are his NFL players saying?
-
Yep. “Even worse.” A whole 2 points. Proof positive Eberlose can’t coach.
Yes, it was "even worse" than I thought, but I never claimed it was dramatically worse than 12-9. Nonetheless, I can understand why you interpreted as such.
We shall see if his culture building can extend from watching practice film on the team bus.
-
Yep. It was “even worse.”
I’m curious to see what he can do now that he has an actual NFL roster.

I always assumed his Bear/Packer job schtick was just to get more money and years from NU and not very serious from the Bear or Packer.
I think there are a few who saw through his bullshit all these years.
I feel uneasy with some of the similarities I see between Underachiever and Fitzee.
-
I don’t think Fitz as a Packers or Bears candidate was ever likely to end with his hiring, but I don’t think it was entirely made up. He’s absolutely the kind of guy the McCaskeys would have hired.

Yes, it is his fault The Wingback was holding onto the ball too long when he was not throwing it into the back of his linemen's heads.
But, yes, I am expecting this to all be cleaned up given all the positive press and, with a favorable schedule and the Norris Division of the NFL sucking, for the Bear to go 14-3 and to the playoffs! Go Bears! Already ordered the NFL package from The YouTubeTV.

Given that he didn't throw any medium passes last week, I'd like to see that this week in a game situation. If he screws up, then they know they have to coach him up.

[Finally, to all of the Bears fans who willingly watched this entire game, we salute you. Without Justin Fields and most starters, it was already going to lack the luster from last week. But considering how bad things got — with the exception of that one drive where Tyson Bagent and Roschon Johnson saved us from misery for a few minutes — it’s truly impressive if you were able to get through that entire game.]
Sounds like I missed some crucial shit.

Why does he need a tune up for the regular season if it will not affect his entire year or development? What am I missing here?
This division is for the taking, as it was last year. If he is merely competent throwing the ball do you think they have a good chance to make the playoffs? If he runs around like the last half of last year and cannot throw the ball consistently, odds are he get hurts, misses time, and they suck ass again. You agree? Disagree?

It could affect the way he plays in the first half of the first game. Or even the first game. After that, I don’t think it matters. Of course, this is all opinion and not provable or disprovable.

Just gave an early morning airport ride to a woman (butch as fuck, said she had a wife, not that that matters), said she works as a sous chef for the Bears. Got some interesting tidbits:
1) McCaskeys are cheap and Kevin Warren is trying to get them to open the purse strings.
2) Andy Reid likes 3 hot dogs (not Chicago style) served on China with real silverware.
3) Asked her who her favorite player was. She responded “I’m a Falcons fan.” She’s originally from Savannah so makes sense. I rephrased the question and asked “Who’s the nicest, who do you like the most?” She said Justin Fields.
4) Mentioned that Justin eats very clean. Still a vegetarian. Although I mentioned he was supposed to be Vegan and she said “oh yeah.” He’s a clean eater anyway.
5) Said Poles and Warren are nice guys.
6) Has done some work in Cleveland and met LeBron.

A machine is generally more than just 1 part.
4 of the 6 top OL may miss the game.
The OL who do play tomorrow may very well be the OL for game 1 and then some. Some reps with the 1st string might just be advantageous.
The starters will play also includes the 1st string on defense.
Don't be so butthurt about TheQB playing tomorrow at 12N, when he should be playing.

A machine is generally more than just 1 part.
4 of the 6 top OL may miss the game.

Why would I be butt hurt? I’m about 99% sure I said I’d prefer he played some.
-
I would argue he needs to play to increase sharpness heading into the regular season. I think “teaching moments,” are pretty much done until they’ve played game 1.
Maybe Mn should read my posts before commenting.
-
I’d like to see Fields get some action at game speed to tune up for regular season. I don’t think playing or not playing affects his entire year or development.
-
I think he should have played week 2 as well.

Tempo again proving that you should always trust content from ThePenisTheyMan.

Nice! Maybe it was your knowledge of Justin Fields' eating habits that swayed her!

Yeah, I suppose you could always rely on luck. Sounds like a good plan.

I’d rather buy (very) low on a high 1st round “talent” than hope I hit the lottery in the 6th round.
-

He had a serious injury derail him. He was viewed as a project even when drafted. Again, if the cost is a 5th or 6th rounder then the investment is minimal. 5th and 6th rounders don’t even make the roster more than half the time.
-
Dante Pettis to IR, unable to return this season. Congrats to Velus Jones Jr.
-
Sounds like the Bears have inquired about trading for DT Chris Jones from the Chiefs. He’s holding out for a new contract, so we’ll see. Would be a great pick up, but a 1st is WAY too much and I’d hang up if I was Poles. Keep that 1st for next year in my opinion. Definitely don’t over pay. Not the right move currently for him in my opinion.
-
Yeah, don’t think I’m dealing a 1st. Would consider it if there were a 1st round swap and other considerations. Would be really nice to have a guy like that, but I’m not sure he fits the timeline. Could see a trade like this happening next year. Probably not this year.

Trey Lance headed to Dallas for a “mid round” pick.

It’s a 4th.

Good move by the Cowboys. I didn’t want him here for the Bears.

Give me a break Tempo.

Evaluating quarterbacks is hard. But if a new GM steps up to the podium and he’s asked about his plan to find a quarterback and he says “I hope we luck into one” he would be laughed out of the building.
-

That isn't the point. The point is that history tells us that it is all luck when evaluating that position.
-

Like PMan stated they are kinda dumb. Although a 4th isn’t bad and it’s Jerry Jones, you expected something like this from him. They aren’t sure about Dak so this is their contingency plan. It creates more of a mess with that situation. I don’t like that for the Bears. Get the new guy in the draft if Fields doesn’t pan out.
-
That isn't the point. The point is that history tells us that it is all luck when evaluating that position.
And yet every franchise bends over backwards to find one. Just because the miss rate is high, doesn’t mean it’s “luck.” Almost every qb worth a damn is a 1st or 2nd round draft choice. Occasionally you get “lucky” and find a guy in later rounds.
-

If it was all “luck,” you’d be seeing pro-bowlers and HOFers drafted all over the board. Again, the overwhelming amount of high level starters are 1st and 2nd round talents.
-

Why not give up a 4th rounder for a guy who not that long ago was given 3 1st rounders for, and was held back by a serious injury. He can sit behind Fields and learn in a low stress environment. If Fields gets hurt, you’ve got a similar talent type to play behind him. If Lance develops you can either play him, or trade him and easily recoup your 4th round pick. I think the Bears were an ideal landing spot for Lance. As were the Cowboys.

Of course everyone wants one. My point is they all do a terrible job scouting and it is basically luck to get one. The GOAT was a 6th round draft pick who only got on the field because Drew Bledsoe got hurt. He was the 199th pick in that draft despite all the scouting, film watching, combines, blah blah blah, and no one had an inkling. Who knows if he ever would have played had Bledsoe not gotten hurt.

The point is, a lot of effort and resources still go into getting a top tier quarterback. I’d call what you’re talking about randomness more than I would “luck.” Most HOF caliber quarterbacks are high draft picks.
-
Yes, quite randomly the GOAT was a 6th round draft choice. But his rivals, Manning, Manning, Brees, Roethlisberger, and Mahomes were all high or very very high draft picks.
-

And just as many busts were high draft picks. They are high picks because of the importance of the position.
-
Add Favre, Rodgers, Luck, Rivers, Stafford, Goff into that mix if you like.
-
And just as many busts were high draft picks. They are high picks because of the importance of the position.
Again, “luck” isn’t a plan. What you’re referring to is variance. I’ll bet the bust rate on other positions isn’t wildly different. How many 1st round busts have the Bears had?
-
Add Favre, Rodgers, Luck, Rivers, Stafford, Goff into that mix if you like.
And Roger's got pushed down in the draft....because of all the great scouting and QB talent evaluation in the NFL. You call it randomness, I call it luck.
-
Again, “luck” isn’t a plan. What you’re referring to is variance. I’ll bet the bust rate on other positions isn’t wildly different. How many 1st round busts have the Bears had?
Plenty. That there is a plan is meaningless if it is a terrible or just luck.
-
And Roger's got pushed down in the draft....because of all the great scouting and QB talent evaluation in the NFL. You call it randomness, I call it luck.
If it were entirely luck, we wouldn’t see the overwhelming number of QBs be high draft choices. We’d see a lot more 5th rounders being successful. Yes, variance, randomness, and even “luck,” can be a factor.
-
Rodgers was “pushed down” all the way to the back of the first round. Still pretty high.
-
Plenty. That there is a plan is meaningless if it is a terrible or just luck.
Why bother scouting, amirite? It’s all luck.

Low throw to Kmet maybe 5-7 yards down field. Then he tried a back shoulder on 3rd and long and threw to the wrong shoulder and hit the DB in the back. Went 3 and out.

Looking forward to regular season play. Anyone expecting Fields to come out and throw for 350/4 week one may come out disappointed. I expect the offense to continue to be a work in progress. Especially with injuries. But I do think they’ll be explosive plays and that’s something we’ve rarely said about a Bears offense.
I hope Fields comes out and looks like league MVP week one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t (yes, I know what I did there).
I do think the offense will look better once Fields is able to improvise (yes, likely run) more. It’ll loosen things up. I’m guessing Fields running wasn’t a big part of camp and preseason.
Hopefully Fields takes a jump and gets into the MVP conversation. I’m still fairly optimistic. Not going to make too much out of a couple series behind a patchwork line in a preseason that saw him play probably 20 plays.
-
I do feel like he should have played more. Not sure why they sat him game 2. Would have been nice to see a couple more series today. I’m guessing there’s some rust since no one’s played (starters). But that is the modern NFL. I remember watching week 3 last year and across the league it still looked like preseason.

Fields is already being bet up as MVP, right?

The defense has not looked good. That is concerning, but hopefully it is because the D has been vanilla.
I am guessing this is going to look like the end of last year. Fields makes plays with his legs and throws bombs, but is uneven in the pocket. While Fields and the O puts up points on big plays, the D has problems getting off the field. If Fields gets hurt for an extended amount of time, watch out below.

I’ve never really concerned myself with what happens in the preseason. If they look good, great. If they don’t look good, it doesn’t count anyway. Let’s just use Fields for example: he played what? 20-25 snaps in preseason? And half of that behind a patchwork line. I’m going to guess the offense is somewhere between going 60+ yards every other play and back to back 3 and outs.
I think the offense will be pretty productive (provided they can stay/get healthy). I expect things will not necessarily be smooth from game one on. I’m just glad Fields and the offense got some live reps in. I’ve always felt live reps were important for maturing players heading into the regular season.
WTF is up with Nate Davis? That guy has barely done shit since the day he signed.

Damn, just realized we’re still two weeks from starting the regular season. Ugh.

Yeah, but you seem hung up on “learning and tape.” I just want him to get accustomed to live speed reps. To me that’s what preseason is for.

Sort of. But at this point in the preseason, I am almost exclusively concerned with the offenses’ timing and rhythm. Much less concerned about “what Justin learned” from the Buffalo game.
Just as I wouldn’t want a promising young prospect to go into the regular MLB season having only faced batting practice pitching. To me, the last couple of weeks were about getting used to game speed again.

Oh snap, just read that the Bears are releasing PJ Walker. And I thought he was a reasonable signing as a backup. I didn’t watch any of his play, he must have been terrible.

Alex Leatherwood gone, too. Was hoping they could tap into whatever made him a 1st round pick.

Really thought Peterman was the odd man out.

PAMan’s guy Bernstein just made a good point. Making Bagent the backup is a big risk. Is a small school rookie quarterback ready to go in and win 2-3 games if needed? Backup quarterback is not a developmental position. Thoughts?

Meh, let’s see the list at the end of the year.
-
Young first-time GM with LONG-TERM vision takes over failing franchise with old, overpaid players and roster bereft of talent. Trades away most of the players that have any value in order to get younger, cheaper. Plugs holes and fills out roster with one-year “tryout” type contracts.
Rookie head coach. Rookie offensive coordinator. 2nd year quarterback learning a new system, trying to recover from the incompetence of previous regime. Bottom 5 offensive line (that could be generous). Mostly practice squad or just above caliber receivers. Worst front 7 in football. No depth on the team at virtually any position.
Mn: “Yeah, but why didn’t they win?”
-
No matter how many times you tell certain people the Bears (as an organization) didn’t make a serious attempt at winning last year, it’ll never sink in.
Why did you criticize the players for dropping passes, punts, or whatever if they were supposed to go out and not make a serious attempt to win ?

Are they trying to win this year, or are they tanking again? It's a fair question.

Sorry, my job doesn't involve me driving around listening to the Score and parroting their talking points. Tell me what they're talking about.

Are they “trying to win” this year? I’d say yes. Are they “ready to win?” They probably aren’t quite there yet. There’s a convincing case for 7 wins (not really winning) and a convincing case for 10 wins, which would be a very impressive total considering where they were 7 months ago.
It’s about realistic expectations, and managing them. PAMan’s Super Bowl “expectations” are probably unrealistic.

That's fair. See, we can have a conversation without you being an asshole.
When they were 3-1 last year, we all thought they were trying to win. Until they weren't. We'll see.

Were the players and coaches “trying to win?” Of course…were they designed or equipped to win. And did Poles place the emphasis on wining?Definitively no.

And I love that you still cling to the myth that I parrot the Score. As if they all have the same opinions. Kind of hard to parrot all of them.

Lol, ok. I don't really care. You actually referenced Bernstein earilier in this thread. Therefore, I can deduce that you are parroting Score talking points wrt the Bears, especially since you haven't watch much preseason.
It's fine, man. Get your takes from wherever you want. Because we all know that none of them are original.

I could show you countless texts to the listener line as proof that I don’t parrot the Score. Or Danny Parkins. Or Dan Bernstein, or Lawrence Holmes or “take your pick…”
Do I agree with most of them more often than not? Probably.

This is proof that you actually have no life. You actually text to the Score listener line. Jesus Christ.

Well since the topic is pretty limited (Bears in this case), and it matches my thoughts, it would be hard not to? Am I supposed to come up with a different opinion on Justin Fields just because Danny Parkins likes him?
-
Jesus. That's really sad.
So is pretending you died on the Internet.

It's obvious that Tempo gets no pussy. Because he texts the Score listener line. I honestly thought that was something made up my the Score guys when they needed something additional to talk about. People actually do that.
Wow.

Haha, no. Not really. Especially since it's something you're still bringing up.

Yes. I gave proper citation to the original source of the opinion. Would you rather I “parrot it” and call it my own? Plus, I love typing “PAMan’s guy Dan Bernstein.”
-
I need to get back to work, Tempo. I'm kinda up against an important deadline. Kinda like when you need to get Floyd to the barbershop by 1:30 or else he's gonna give you a 3 star and no tip.
Have a good afternoon. Let us all know what Parkins has to say. I'm sure we're waiting with bated breath.
-
First time I’ve caught the opening to their show in many months. Seems I usually tune in for a few minutes before they do “high noon” which is just them talking about weird random stories. As far as actual sports, 95% of what I’ve heard recently is baseball talk, which I usually turn off unless I want to hate listen about the Sox.

It does not matter who the backup is in this instance unless it is someone who can mentor Fields on reading the field. PJ Walker was not it.

I hired an Uber to drive me all over the central coast of California a couple of weeks ago. They allow up to 5 stops per trip so I set up my itinerary and booked a round trip encompassing the entirety of Big Sur, leaving from Carmel. It probably wasn’t more than 70-80 miles total but it was winding along a busy PCH on a Friday afternoon for over 4 hours with multiple stops lasting from 15-45 mins each. I paid $164, didn’t have to rent a car or drive myself, and had a great conversation (not about the Bears) to boot. That guy didn’t make shit outside of the $50 tip of company money I left him. One of the best $214 I ever spent.

I’m sure the market is way over saturated at this point because everybody saw people making money hand over fist cruising around the city listening to the Score…rubbing elbows with Executive NFL chefs, dead mobsters, Jeff Frank & Sidra, etc. Engaging directly with Danny Parkins via the 67011 text line.
They saw an ordinary man like themselves having the supreme luxury of downtime in the middle of the day to educate an internet user named spark mandrill about Reggie Theus, The Mack Trade or anything relating to proper expectations for Illini basketball coaches.

It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s mostly met my very specific needs. If that fails to win the approval of Custard and Jobu, oh well; because who cares what those two judgmental pricks think.

Basically, it’s because his mother works a lot. I’ll give her credit for one thing, she’s got a strong work ethic. Probably too much so (and she’s too stubborn to change). I’ve had to sacrifice a lot of what I’d like to do to cater to her schedule, but I get to spend a lot of time with my kid is the reward. My whole life the last 6+ years has been work, take care of the kid. Not much else with a few exceptions here and there. Thank you for being complimentary.

Let’s put it this way. I’ve made him 95%+ of his meals, and given him 97% of his baths (and put him to bed) the last 5 years. He’s old enough to do showers now, so I’m not required to do as much lol.
