Catching depth is now an issue
jersey cubs fan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Isn't he just the backup catcher? It's not like they will go Javy first then Montero. -

hanging out with some pirates and mets fans last night I mentioned to the pirates fan that he's got to be feeling pretty good about getting that wild card spot again and they all pretty much agree the divisional race is over. I enjoyed it.

I mean, that's hockey. :-" (Yes, I realize my dig is especially dumb looking after I just called her out for mispronouncing Hawks names). And Robbie Gould has been around long enough and is on, by far, the most covered team in town. Not knowing how to pronounce it at this point when you're on a sports radio station is pretty egregious IMO. He's just a [expletive] kicker but he is one of the longest tenured players at one of the most visible positions on the most heavily covered team in town. The only way you don't know how his name is pronounced at this point if you're in Chicago is if you just don't pay attention to football. But Robbie Goold is the correct pronunciation.

It is Robbie Goold. And what is her job? Does she have a typical female Chicago accent? Because Chicagoans in general and especially female Chicagoans really mispronounce everything.

That video is sad. I know celebrities get stupid [expletive] tweeted at them all the time but I guess I didn't realize how bad some of it was. And a big part of the response is, 'yeah well men get bad stuff said to them to, why don't you make that video', or 'if you can't take it get another job'. Little boys are terrible.

I see a terrific advertising opportunity -
This about sums up the anti-RB argument and is just meaningless. Sure, you can find it in a 3rd - 4th round guy. You can find a Hall of Fame QB in the 6th and HOF defensive end in the 8th if it still existed. You can find pro bowl qbs in grocery store aisles as well. It's not about whether or not you can theoretically get the same production later. Your list is an argument against taking multiple RBs in the first round every year. It's not an argument against a RB being worthy of the 11th pick of the draft.

The signal to the batter would probably be verbal in some pre-determined fashion. I'd think it would be reserved for the more crucial situations later in the game. For all we know, that guy was just collecting info for later use. Even in, like, high school babe ruth we would be badasses and steal signs if we had the angle by saying "let's go kid!" if it was a fastball or "let's go (last name)!" if it was offspeed. No wonder Jason Kidd washed out of the sport.

It probably looks too much like a cardinals hat. You should burn it before you contract some brain-eating bacteria from it. Its a much more tolerant red than the distinctly racist red of the St. Louis Cardinals. I've got a red cubs sweatshirt and love it. -
Well, you've had Peterson, Forte, Gore and Williams all being some sort of useful to excellent into their 30s. Marshawn Lynch had 8 badass seasons, after being drafted 12th. Jamaal Charles has basically lost two seasons to injury in his 8 seasons in the NFL, but has been badass when healthy. There are very good running backs that last more than 3-4 years. For years running backs were over drafted. You can find useful ones later in the draft. And there has since been what I consider an over correction in how teams draft RB. But the top of the draft is littered with busts from every position, a lot that people simply forget if they weren't QB or RB. And you can and should consider taking the best RB at 11.
-
That has been rumored?
-
That's not true at all, or if it is it describes every position but QB. There are plenty of difference makers at RB. The bigger issue with the investment is probably this shelf life issue. Where a lineman, QB, or WR can dominate into their 30s, RB as a while will give you less years on average. without even getting into shelf life, i think we have enough weak spots that adding a 1st round talent at one of them will have much more of an impact than taking snaps from langford and carey and giving them to zeke elliot will. or maybe PFF is right and langford sucks ass and then i'm completely wrong. not sure why you frame it taking snaps from langford and carey. If you take one of these LB they are likewise going to be "taking snaps" from an already existing linebacker. There isn't a dominant defensive force likely to be available at 11. If there was, great, go ahead and take him. Also, without a great passing attack, they already have to replace Forte just to get back to their uninspiring offense.
-
I think you are wrong. And taking the best RB at 11 isn't chasing. Trading up to get him, or taking him at 3 is chasing. But this would not be anything like that.
-
I think left tackle is a huge hole and Slauson is now on the wrong side of 30. I think the line is short-term stable, but very thin and nowhere near a strength. If your line isn't a strength then your skill positions players have to be if you want to actually be good.
-
That's a weird reason. That's why you pick a guy in the third round, not the first round. The persuasion should be that he has as good a chance as anyone in the past 9 years to be the next Adrian Peterson. I guess I haven't paid enough attention - is he really rated that highly? I don't think anybody thinks next Peterson but they do consider him to be potentially the next best thing. I was strongly against drafting RB early a decade ago, but that is when RB was going top 3-5 all the time, and you'd get far down the list in a hurry. If you can get a really talented one and get him at 11, that's still very good value in this day and age.
-
So spend your 3rd - 7th picks on "sufficient coverage" players. Use the 11th pick in the draft for the biggest difference maker. That also why they went out and signed three free agents.
