    Foles, Jeffery, and Cooper

    Probably not the best place to ask, but when do they announce spring training schedules?
  3. mul21
    Do they base the top 5 calculation on salary cap hit or AAV? Either way, it looks to be significantly higher than $16.5 mil. Looks like about $19.5 by AAV and just a little under $19 mil by salary cap hit.

    I don't think you can do this unless you're completely prepared to walk away from Cutler entirely, regardless of another team making an offer or not. This move would do nothing but piss off the Cutler camp and make further negotiations on a contract nearly impossible because of the ~$8MM slap in the face of not making the full franchise offer. Even if he really doesn't play much for the last half of the season? It seems reasonable if the guy can't stay healthy for the Bears to look for a way to lower that hefty price tag somehow, or seek a method of compensation if he wants to go elsewhere and make more money. No, I think you could pull it off in that scenario. I was basing that on him coming back reasonably healthy and playing fairly well.

    And the point others are making is that you are making assumptions that would probably not hold up in the real world. The real world is what has happened the last 3 games with McCown. It is becoming a trend. Well, if you can have him come in as a reliever that teams haven't prepared for or play against an awful defense every week, then yeah, it's becoming a trend.

    Sample size. McCown had a good half against a terrible D. A good game. And a good drive. He has a 10-year career of crappiness that shows the team would suffer with him as the fulltime QB...and that likely extends to anyone else, beca there is literally 0 chance the Bears get a QB as good as Cutler in 2014. That said, I really like him in his current role. I don't feel like the game is automatically over if he has to come in, which is good. But yeah, put him under the pressure of being the every week starter where teams can study him regularly -- he'll sink back to mediocrity. This is the single most important point that needs to be made to all the meatheads (meatballs?) about why McCown isn't nearly as good as he has looked. You can just see the lack of arm strength in some of the throws he makes, but when you have giant receivers and no time to game plan against him, that kind of gets lost in the shuffle.

    Tate is solid. Much better than I thought he would be. Is this on tv somewhere?
  9. mul21
    Is this the prevailing thought up there? I just can't fathom this being a common idea and this is coming from a generally pretty smart guy.
  10. mul21
    And instead of people praising him for gutting out a halfway decent performance, you'll have them bitching about how he should have come out. That's not on Jay, that's on the coaching staff. He's not coming out unless he can't walk and the staff has to make the decision for him when he's not as effective as the backup would be. Also, there's maybe 2 guys who make the play where Alshon dropped it in the corner and one of them is on his team and the other one is Chocobot. The first one he had to have though.

    YOU HAVE TWO [expletive] 6'8" RECEIVERS. THROW THEM THE GOD DAMN BALL!
  12. mul21
    They just need to not screw around and score a TD. I don't care if it's a one play drive.
  13. mul21
    Not until after he bobbled it unfortunately. Hell of an effort though.
  14. mul21
    Definitely seems like he's getting hit a lot more today than he has the rest of the year.
  15. mul21
    Yeah, I don't think there's any way you can start Bennett. Just not enough upside.
  16. mul21
    Do I trust Cutler today or do I start Carson Palmer?
  17. mul21
    Nick Foles threw 7 TDs last week against Oakland. Eli and Nicks.
  18. mul21
    I'm a bit perplexed by the whole listening to the voice mail and laughing about it with other teammates thing. It seems odd at best and makes him look terrible at worst.
  19. mul21
    The Bears had been running the ball down the Packers' throat all drive long, and then ran for like 16 yards in 3 carries after the holding call. Say what you will about the timing of the timeouts, but accepting the holding penalty was absolutely the right call. The Bears would've almost assuredly converted the 2nd and 4-5 they would've had without the holding, and then the game would've been over. Yep, he had to accept the penalty to prevent them from getting an easy first down and making timeouts irrelevant. It was still horrible clock management, but that was the right call.
  20. mul21
    He also called him Chris. I believe Gruden actually said started didn't he? Calling him Chris and referring to Alshon as Jefferies all night was annoying though.
  21. mul21
    I think it shows how good Trestman et al are at recognizing their player's strengths and putting them in a position to succeed.
  22. mul21
    I enjoyed the discard on the DB on the Forte run down to the 11.
  23. mul21
    Come on. Run outside for 10 yards. What do you do next? Cram it up the middle for nothing. Brilliant.
  24. mul21
    I assume this is in reference to Hawk hanging all over Bennett on the 3rd down play?
  25. mul21
    Yeah, doing that for Graham alone would be a good deal, assuming he's playing reasonably healthy. Thompkins will be nearly worthless going forward based on what I've read.
