Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 9-24-23
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Tom's boy is smoking in the playoffs. -
I think we could all postmortem the Fields situation forever. The Bears drafted a kid who had an up-and-down record as a passer but possessed tremendous athletic ability. They knew the flaws he had. What we don't know is what efforts were made to correct the flaws and what Poles et al. knew about those efforts after they took over. In the NFL if you don't have a QB, you are not going to win. If they thought they could correct the flaws and improve his play, they missed badly. If they didn't think they could correct them, waiting for the right time to draft a QB is NOW not two years later.

There is a lot of measurement error in defensive metrics. Perhaps there will always be a large error. He makes good throws and knows how to cut the angles in Wrigley to get to the ball on a bounce. he's not a particularly good route runner or fast. I put him in a bin of LF that are passable to average. There is a tremendously small standard deviation in that group (most are clustered around average). You have to be a noticeable outlier one way or the other.

Bears Week 4 vs Broncos Sunday at noon on CBS
CubinNY replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
a must-win game? When is the week before the 1st bye? That would be an excellent time to find a coaching staff and give them two weeks to implement a new plan to change things. It's what I would do as a GM if I were trying to save my job. -
I agree. But on the other hand, they pay a lot for mediocracy. And now Freeze has two or three years to skate before people start to understand he's not good either.

I Hope Sulleymon’s wife locked up the knife drawer.

Can they be relegated to the NCAA?

Hugh Freeze has it about as good as anyone in college football right now. No matter what Auburn does the fans are blaming Harsin. Should be a good couple of years until things get hot.

If I owned the team I couldn’t watch because I’d be so angry at everyone including myself.

I’m stuck watching Dallas/Phoenix. Bears aren’t going to beat the Cardinals

Charlie Blackmon is the last guy I want to see up

Get him the horsefeathers out of there

Throw strikes!!!!!!!!

Wisdom!

They have two of the best grounds superintendents in MLB working in Chicago. You’d think they’d bother asking.
-
If you don’t like scoring and love bad play calling and poor execution I’m sure it was quite exciting.

In all honesty, the more selectively academic schools in big-time college football are going to have some tough choices to make regarding recruiting and retaining players in the NIL era. The Notre Dame and Stanford class of schools are going to have a hard time maintaining integrity. The alternative is to not worry about integrity and get in the mud with the Alabama and Texas A&Ms of the world or get left behind. Just make it a full semi-pro experience.
