Depending on who does the play-calling, hopefully he can avoid the same mistakes of repetition that plagued Kelly's offense in the NFL. When you're trying to run a frantic pace, you only have a limited amount of plays to run and the refs frown upon up-tempo.

Yes, please.

Must have made that decision before Saturday.

Too much of a personal attack, IMO. "My friend, you're wrong ".

I would be extremely disappointed if it's McDaniels.

If it's someone without HC experience, you have former HC available in Gus Bradley, Chuck Pagano, and Mike Pettine available although I would be opposed to going that route. There's also some w/out DC experience like Michael Barrow and Winston Moss who should get promoted to DC. My choice is currect Cards DC James Bettcher.

I mentioned it in the other thread, but I've soured a little on LaFleur. it's for an extremely meatbally reason. i saw some press conference clips of him and he seemed very meek and nervous, which i guess reminds me of the trestman experience and how disastrous it was that he was such a shy dorky weirdo. i'm not sure if that's unfair to him or not (prob not), but he didn't project a vibe of head coach material in terms of personality. Thats the same vibe you would have received from the current Pats coach in his Cleveland days. Now, he's just a weird dick.

1) LaFleur 2) Defilippo 3) Shurmur

Oh baby Yu, Yu got what I need.

Ive been saying it: Trubisky was the right pick I missed this earlier but Watson plus the draft picks used to move up is looking like the better move than trading up to get Trubisky.

At this point (minus a Yelich trade), I'm resigned to them signing Darvish and a couple of relievers and calling it an off-season. Let the progression/regression of Schwarber and Heyward as well as Russell and Baez determine whether Harper or Machado is a bigger need next off-season.

I still have him being traded for a 2nd in January. They're fun to watch, I'm expecting them to lose their next 2. They'll be good enough to play themselves out of a top 3 pick.

Mojo shows his true colors again with his shitty music tastes with a random MMB reference. I say that knowing the reference was very well done.

Dombrowski strikes again. He'll bloat your team with bad contracts and drain the farm.

Arrieta isn't much older than Yu, though. Like, by months. Meh, I don't know why I always think Arrieta is older than what he really is.

If they can get Darvish at a 4yr deal with a team option for 5, possibly with a player option after 2, I would be ecstatic. I don't know if it's age discrimination or the Cubs have in-house medical concerns, but there's been no interest in Arrieta.

Did NCCubfan hack into several accounts this morning? :)

This team is well below talentwise where they should be under Pace. If they cleaned house, I would not be upset. Of course, the same people would be making the decision as to whom to hire next. I think at this point, there is a slightly greater case to fire Pace than to keep him. i think the case is reasonably in favor of keeping him, but would not be upset if he was replaced. If you did replace him, then Mitchell becomes somebody else's problem, and the next guy will be allowed to start from scratch at qb again in 2-3 years. Pace has his guy and should get one shot to win in 2018. There's no excuse for this team to be this weak and bereft of talent this far into his tenure. This isn't baseball when it takes 4-6 years to develop prospects. The NFL allows for yearly roster turnover and three years in this is entirely Pace's team. This isn't Emerys fault anymore. Fwiw, I think Pace will be back. I can't imagine year 4 being that much of an improvement to where you can justify bringing him back for off-season #5. It is disappointing that Mitchell's 1st two years of a cost controlled rookie contract will consist of a lame duck coach in year 1 and a lame duck GM in year 2. I have no reason to be confident in Pace turning this thing around after 3 bad years and an already failed coaching staff his 1st time through.

Michael Jordan, 92' dream team.

Just cater it to the idiot Trump supporters (who have stopped watching the NFL because entitled black people who have had it far too good, wont support the troops) which should bring up to 750 in the stands. Have a team in Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas, Florida Panhandle, Alabama, and Mississippi. Just make sure the uniforms are all white.

As much blame as Fox gets (he deserves it), it extends well beyond him. Pace deserves blame as does the ownership. This is why I didn't like all the praise Pace got for being bold and trading up to draft Trubisky. Aside from all the questions about him as a franchise QB, that was an extremely safe and conservative move for a GM to make. He's already 3 years in and we can still talk about the jury being out for at least another season, and he will almost certainly get an opportunity to fire Fox and hire another guy, and then 2-3 years to see if that next hire can get the most out of Mitch. Waiting 3 drafts to make that pick, and then deliberately sitting that pick behind a worthless veteran and giving him zero skill position players and an ultra conservative coach pretty much guaranteed we'd see next to nothing this season. I would not complain if they unloaded Pace.

Go 49'ers....

Bears look like a HS team compared to the Eagles.
