Cubs Meeting With Japanese Ace Roki Sasaki
gflore34 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I believe this is the case, just like Ohtani' "interest" in the Blue Jays, just to say they did their due diligence. But everyone knows the fix is in. -
This may be true but, look at Stroud he's clearly regressed from last season, what could it mean? Or, is it a case of Stroud' 2023 and to some extent Daniels' 2024 being one-offs for them?
-
RIP, one of my favorite players, had him on my Strat-O-Matic team, he won MVP of our league while helping my team to the playoffs.
-
I really don't get how a guy like Cousins, leading the NFL in interceptions has a QBR of 52 whereas, Caleb' at 47.7. Guess all the sacks are worse than a horsefeathers-ton of turnovers?
-
Flip Caleb with Daniels or Nix and he's easily out performing both of them with their current statistics. Put Nix or Daniels in Caleb' shoes and I doubt they're even starting any more, Bagent is playing.
-
Caleb is also statistically on par with everyone's darling CJ Stroud. Stroud, at least from a statistical stand point, has regressed. If one considers a QB' second season before a full evaluation of him, what does this say about Stroud? I'm fairly confident what's playing out with Stroud is what we'll see of Daniels and Nix next season, while Caleb and, probably Maye, with improved coaching, ascend.
-
It's not a Herculean task either, well, for Poles it is, there's at least two examples of teams fixing their OL's in an off season. The point is an OL can be addressed and repaired in an off season. I really do believe most any GM off the street could come in and do a better job with the trenches than Poles has done.
-
Appears the Bears are locked into the 9th pick, have a shot at 8 if the Jets can get another win. Jets last game is at home vs. Miami, so, a possibility for the Bears to move up. Nevertheless, they've 4 picks in top 100, 8 overall, including, if the draft order remains stagnant, picks 40 and 41. They absolutely need to go some combination of DL, OL, OL, OL with those first four picks. Are we confident, if Poles is the GM, he knows what needs to be emphasized this off season? I'm not so certain. I'm in the fire Poles camp, I believe most any GM will come in and realize what needs fixing on this roster.
-
horsefeathers, Trubisky, Fields, Nagy, Eberflus, even Pace were all good ways towards horsefeathers to begin with, you start with horsefeathers you end up with horsefeathers.
-
It's even remotely not close, especially for an offense minded HC. Did people warn Campbell to stay away from the Lions because of some spookiness or what the horsefeathers ever? Total horsefeathers.
-
Yes, wanting to dump everyone in a lost season is just hot take nonsense, things turn around quickly in the NFL. And the Bears, regardless of the other horsefeathers, have the best and most important piece in place - the QB - to experience a big turn around next season.
-
Caleb is all I Poles credit for, I don't believe there was that much luck involved, he made the trade with Carolina knowing full well Carolina was going to draft Bryce Young. Poles knew Young was going to struggle thereby insuring Carolina' first rounder in 2024 was going to be a high pick. Now, number 1? That's probably the luck part, I believe Poles knew there was an excellent chance it was going to be top 5.
-
Well, similar to Thanksgiving Day the Bears lose and the Illini win. Cracks me up Mizzou trying to play Terrence Shannon' game by initiating contact on offense. Fortunately, for Illinois, none of those Missouri guys are as good as Shannon, In Boswell and Jakucionis do the Illini have the best back court in the Big Ten? They might. At the very least it's one of the best.
-
I really don't care, I'll still take Caleb today and every other day, it sucks right now, I know. Assuming the Bears luck into, stumble upon the right hire, I'm fully confident the dialog regarding Daniels and Caleb will be flipped next season.
-
Kyler Gordon is worth keeping, I'm certain there's others, a hot take because nearly everything that could go wrong did.
-
The OL badness is exacerbated by the fact the Bears have had a historical level of bad luck with injuries. Had they the average level of wear and tear on the OL it may have proved to be adequate.
-
If, and this is the biggest if, the Bears get the HC and OC correct, Caleb will dwarf Daniels in 2025. He'll dwarf Nix, Maye as well. Daniels will go the way of Stroud and regress in 2025 while Caleb ascends.
-
Bears with an offensive line composed of 2 guys off the street were able to roll up yards on them. They've got to bank on out scoring teams, usually, that MO doesn't work in the playoffs.
-
The Jeff Kent porn-stache?
-
If I were a Lions fan and concerned about the NFC #1 seed/winning the NFC North, I'd be a little nervous about the possibility of the Bears getting their horsefeathers together and winning this game. Chances are they won't get their horsefeathers together but, It's happened before in the NFL and will happen again maybe, this game.
-
Rather, than looks for ways to objectify the calling balls and strikes let's go with the Golden At-Bat. Such beyond stupid horsefeathers.
-
This plus attention to the OL and DL, most of the pieces to succeed are in place, other than Caleb finishing on positive note this season is a wash. There's no reason they can't win double digit games next season.
-
Everything is under a microscope because of this horsefeathered up season, I would venture to say 90% of guys who have been beaten up would say such a thing. Additionally, the media is looking to dump all over the Bears, anything and everything negative, just keep kicking them while their down. I'm going to give DJ a pass. I do agree about forfeiting.

Levine: Jesus Luzardo Deal With Cubs Is "Dead"
gflore34 replied to Bertz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Probably the medicals coupled with the Marlins having a unreasonably high price tag, good, he wasn't worth Cassie or Alcantara. -
I've a prediction regarding the Vikings - they'll lose a big or playoff game on a blocked punt. Our lower than dirt Bears managed to block one and came close another time, they found something and took advantage of the Vikings punt team. Just something to file away for later in the season.
