if you could only keep one Chicago athlete, would it be Caleb or Pete?

I don't think its particularly close for me.  Caleb.  Pete is incredible, but with fewer games and at the position where the ball is in his hands every offensive snap, It has to be Caleb.  

Great thing is we don't have to pick!

I think the better question is would you rather have Ben Johnson or PCA?  And Ben Johnson or Caleb to add to that.

Yeah, as GREAT as PCA is, what he brings is easier to find (probably in multiple pieces) than what Caleb brings.  A great QB is just worth too much.

EDIT: Same answer re: Ben Johnson.  Coaching is too important in the NFL.

[bddavidson]

I was going to add the caveat that I'd be willing to hear the argument for keeping Pete over Caleb if you believe in Ben elevating any QB to keep the Bears on track.

I choose Pete Caleb-Armwilliams

What gets me on the PFF nonsense is PFF talking about Caleb or any QB making this or that read or the "correct" read.  Does PFF know every teams playbook?  Does PFF know the progressions on every drop back?  Seriously, WTF are these clowns talking about?  Reminds me of Trump commenting on subjects on which he has no horsefeathers clue.

The section on Ben Johnson vs Flores in this article is excellent.

Vikings RB Jordan Mason, who led the team in rushing yards this past week, and a rushing TD, is going on IR after having surgery on his thumb.

Kyler Murray was only designated as "limited" in practice on Wednesday, which potentially sets him up to be ready to go on Sunday. But, it would still surprise me.

Looks like it will be a sloppy fest at soldier field on Sunday.  Could this hinder the Bears offense?

Darnell Wright was on the injury report and didn't practice yesterday.  Hopefully he'll be out there today.

Sloppy conditions typically favor good rushing teams, which...I think favors the Bears.

Any word on when Trapilo may be good to go?

I would think he has to be a full participant at practice first. When he is, we’ll know he’s getting close to getting back.

Good stuff here about Caleb working on accuracy.  Free article.

Kyler Murray has been ruled inactive, so it'll be Carson Wentz starting for MIN.

Wentz is 4-0 in his career playing against the Bears.
