    There is some of that, and I don't put a lot of stock in the random Twitter post, but this does smell like a case of a DA over-reaching for a serious felony charge that isn't supported by the facts. Obviously we don't all know those facts yet, but based on the reactions of others who are closer to the case than we are, I am fairly confident that the felony charge isn't going to stick. Whether that might actually lead to Shannon playing again this season, I have no idea.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    It certainly appears there is a lot of smoke indicating that the serious charges aren't substantiated and that there may be discussions taking place to get the charges dropped or substantially altered to reflect what actually happened.

    I think it would matter because you are entering "win now" mode, especially if they use their picks to address other Non-QB positions. With the rest of the roster being playoff-caliber, I think they should have better insurance than Bagent in the event of an injury.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    So let's say hypothetically the Bears stick with Fields next year and add weapons around him. While I do think Bagent can be a decent NFL backup, they can't have him as the #2 behind Fields again, can they?
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    Get Carolina on the horn. See if they want to trade their pick 2.1 for a QB (Fields). 😁
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Just in case you didn't trust the SOS math.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    26-0. Pop the champagne everyone.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    16 completions today for........ 92 yards. Tyson Bagent, is that you?
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Carolina down 19-0 going into the 4th quarter. They have a total of 69 yards of offense through three quarters.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Or a genius move to burn another one of the Falcons timeouts!
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't know that Fields is a guy who can just be plugged into a random offense midseason. I would think any team who is acquiring him would need to do so in the off-season so they can tailor their offensive gameplan around his abilities.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    On the bright side, even if the decision has already been made, he is showing just enough to improve his possible trade return. What's the best case scenario for him - a 2nd rounder? Or is that too high?
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    9-0 at the half. So far so good, but still a little too close for comfort.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't think the Bulls are a fair comparison. The Bears have assets and financial flexibility, while the Bulls are up against the cap with mediocre/bad contracts and no help coming through the draft for several years. Taking the coaching decisions out of the equation, the two rosters have their arrows pointed in different directions.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    They may very well be cheap, but I have a hard time believing that Eberflus' $4M is anything more than a rounding error compared to the money the Bears bring in each year.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    The Offensive Coordinator candidates are really going to be lining up to work with Eberflus next year.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Absolutely not. If the Cubs aren't going to be willing to spend on a top of rotation starter (and there are no indications they will ever be willing to pay a #1 starter in free agency), then they need to hit on a guy like Horton from their own system. He is the most untouchable guy they have right now.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Absolutely. I like Fields and will be rooting for him wherever he ends up. The Bears trading him outside the division will make that much easier to do.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Arizona is currently slotted into the #2 pick and I really don't see them winning another game. If they want to give up 3 or more 1st rounders to move up one slot, you take that offer every time.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm fairly certain there is no possible scenario where Carolina catches Arizona in SOS. According to the tankathon site, Carolina is currently at .522 and Arizona is at .564. I know SOS can shift quite a bit from week to week, but that is simply too big a gap with only 2 weeks remaining.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Holy horsefeathers, I didn't see that coming the way that 4th quarter was going. Just need 1 more loss by Carolina now.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Just when it looked like New England had the game under control, Denver scores 2 TD's and 2 2-point conversions in the 4th quarter to tie the game.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't see any way the Bears lose this game, but they would be much better off losing out. Another win is going to be a big drop in draft position.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Wow, that was a close call. Come on Patriots - Find a way to beat the Broncos tonight and give us some breathing room.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Dansby, Suzuki, Happ, Hoerner? As far as cores go, that one leaves a lot to be desired.
