    @JoeO670 Ryan Pace was a Saints scout when they signed Drew Brees. #Bears

    Peggy Kusinski NBC Chicago Interesting #Bears situation today. acc. to sources, Todd Bowles was waiting and waiting in the Halas Hall lobby for his interview for HC job, turns out team was busy hiring Ryan Pace as GM. Then brought Bowles in for his HC interview with Pace as the new GM.

    That's like porn for Bernstein. Exactly. If he doesn't get rid of Marshall though, Bernstein is gonna hate Pace for eternity.

    Hard to do with GM's. Best I can say is that the Bears didn't just go with the expected. But then, they didn't with Trestman either so....
  5. Banedon
    Bernstein's source just said that his source said that all things being equal, they wanted a break from the past. Also that Pace had a much better feel for the bigger picture, and the need to build over multiple years.

    From 3 days ago: Reports: Ryan Pace unlikely to leave Saints http://espn.go.com/blog/new-orleans-saints/post/_/id/12799/reports-ryan-pace-unlikely-to-leave-saints

    I don't know if it's so much "do it the way the Cubs did it" as much as it is "do it without Cutler and Marshall because I don't like them". It's kind of hilarious that he wants to do away with two positions that the Bears actually have talent at. No, it's definitely the Cubs thing. Bernstein is a walking doom boner; he should not be listened to. I don't know about that. He's been a huge, huge supporter of the Cubs rebuild process. But when he turns on something, there's no swaying him back.

    @seankjensen Last year, the #Saints blocked Ryan Pace from interviewing for #Dolphins GM opening.
  9. Banedon
    Yeah, I get his line of thought, but he's going too far with it.

    Same. I was resigned to Ballard...but not excited.
  11. Banedon
    Press conference at 11am tomorrow.
  12. Banedon
    Zaidman is suggesting that they may have passed on Ballard to go in an "whole new direction".
  13. Banedon
    Bernstein asks a good question...did Ballard turn them down?
  14. Banedon
    Reports are that the Saints really didn't want to lose him.
  15. Banedon
    Bowles is interviewing all over the place. I don't think there's any guarantee he wants the Bears.
  16. Banedon
    Wtf

    PFF ranks the Bears O-line 15th... https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/01/08/2014-pff-offensive-line-rankings/3/

    San Francisco also did that with Kaepernick. On a lesser level, Bengals with Dalton. I'm not saying it's a good position to be in to by trying to draft a cheap QB that's decent. It's not. That's where the comparison to the NBA comes in. But if you sign one of these non-elite QB's just to be safe, you are tying your hands completely. There have been two QB's in the last 20 years to win a Super Bowl while taking up 10% of a team's cap, and Cutler might eclipse that every single year of his deal despite not being one of the top 10 QB's in the league. It doesn't take away from your point, but per this link, there have been at least 3 over that since 2000. (4 if you count Rodgers at 9.85%) http://overthecap.com/super-bowl-rings-and-the-overpricing-of-the-quarterback/ EDIT: Difference from your results might be that this is using APY.

    No, I'm saying if you're in QB hell like many teams are currently in like STL (likely expected to be medicore most years) and you're exploring the option of inking Bradford to a long-term contract, drafting one in the 10-15 range, or taking a shot on one later in the draft.... Would that money be better off allocated somewhere else than Bradford (even healthy)? Would that pick be better off on a 1st rounder that often has a much higher success ratio of panning out than QB? Drafting several QBs with several picks later (2 thru 4 as typically west coast offenses require accuracy 1st which tend to drop some QBs) and the one that fits. Teams like GB, NE, etc don't have to worry about that. I guess this also falls into the inability to draft QBs given the high amount of bust ratios. Obviously if you're Indy and you have Manning and Luck at #1, this theory goes out the window. Teams have more positions to fill than just QB. Money means so little to NFL teams...they can cut guys and eat that money. As long as they can finagle the numbers to fit under the cap. But draft picks are limited. Spending several picks on QB's when they other positions to address on the off chance that maybe you can get a Wilson isn't a great strategy.

    @JasonLaCanfora Hearing Todd Bowles making very strong impression in head coaching interviews. I expect him to be a factor in this game of musical chairs.
  21. Banedon
    Too much Cubs talk in the Bulls thread.
  22. Banedon
    Yeah, I heard him say that this morning. He could've easily been on conference call though. We have the technology.
  23. Banedon
    Cutler has become pretty media saavy.
  24. Banedon
    Right...I didn't realize that was what was going on here...what happened with Wilson isn't some real world draft strategy. It was getting really [expletive] lucky.
  25. Banedon
    Whoa...hold on...we're saying "if only teams would draft guys in the 3rd round that become amazing!" as an argument against the NFL QB system? Come on...that's clearly the huge exception.
