  1. Trading out of 1 this year with the idea that you can trade up next year is a bad idea. You could easily wind up with late first rounders, that’ll cost you a horsefeathers ton to move back up.
  2. Okay, but admitting you aren’t sure they are ready to move on means you also aren’t sure they want to keep him. In either case, it simply is not true that you cannot envision the scenario where they keep the pick.
  3. I mean, the most obvious scenario is the most likely one, that they are ready to move on from Fields. How is it possible not to see that scenario?
  4. The Hawks can’t win with Bedard and Canada can’t win without him at world juniors. They were eliminated in quarterfinals
  5. I have to imagine if they don’t take a qb #1, they will hedge their bets and take a QB elsewhere and continue to do that every year. They aren’t going to marry themselves to Fields. They don’t need to, for one thing. The “keep Fields” timeline exists on a spectrum.
  6. Fwiw, Greg Gabriel knows nothing and nobody
  7. The answer in descending order is: Yankees Dodgers Giants Mets Red Sox Atlanta Cubs Phillies Cardinals Padres Angels Dodgers, again Diamondbacks
  8. Hey Justin, you see that glow flashing in the corner of your eye? That’s your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear. It seems dumb to consider, but Fields future may be determined by this game. If he lights up the Packers and knocks them out of the playoffs, you know it will be hard to convince the McCaskey’s to move on. They love the kid. And what they want above all else is stability. I don’t think Poles thinks that way, but you never know. The new market inefficiency may no longer be winning while a QB is on his rookie contract, but may be signing a less than elite QB to less than elite money, leaving room to build around him that other teams cannot afford. Anyway, the Bears are 3 point underdogs but the Packers are nothing special and this game is up for grabs.
  9. Eagles/Hurts are not great.
  10. They absolutely sabotaged year 2.
  11. I don’t really care. Keeping Eberflus and drafting a QB is asking for failure. Replace Getsy or not, it doesn’t matter. Eberflus is the head coach and that’s a problem.
  12. Nah, average QBs don’t do what Fields does at his best. Fields’ consistency issues are different than average QBs.
  13. I f Eberflus is returning, you’re better off keeping the whole band together than trying to string it together piecemeal
  14. Win probability at 72%, so they still have a chance of not blowing it. Gotta keep it below 90
  15. I didn’t realize how poorly Detroit executed that. Such blatant attempting to confuse. You can’t have three guys go up to the ref like that. I don’t care if the coach explained it beforehand. I’d much rather see Dallas lose, but that was poorly done by Detroit
  16. If there wasn’t much to lose, I guess I get the idea of continually going for 2. But it seemed like a lot of banging head against a wall for no good reason. I can’t tell if Detroit was jobbed or not, but when you attempt to intentionally obfuscate the opponent with reporting different people as eligible you are kind of inviting the refs to ruin it for you.
  17. It would be incredibly ballsy. But, they will be hiring a DC and there will be turnover elsewhere on the staff. As others have pointed out, the list of quality OC candidates willing to align with potentially the final year of Eberflus may not be long. The Bears thing to do is bring back Flus, draft a QB, go 6-11 in 2024, fire Flus and bring in a new staff with no ties to the draft pick. McCaskey and Warren have to be devising a plan to avoid that scenario.
  18. This isn’t a cheapness issue. They’ve paid multiple head coaches simultaneously before and will do it again. The issue is they are desperate for stability. They don’t want to go through head coach turnover every 2/3 years. They want the Lovie stability to return. Eberflus is their idea of a modern Lovie. Despite a couple quit jobs in 2022, the players by and large play hard for him and his side of the ball got better. That’s their justification. It won’t work, but the thought process of pretty obvious. The question is how deep a hole the next guy will be in when he replaces Eberflus in 2026.
  19. Why do they keep going for 2?
  20. I’ve seen 12 men called via review and think it’s fine.
  21. Bears will draft either this mizzu qb or one of the osu QBs.
