    I think you can draft a TE that would be able to play a ton, a WR that can easily move to 3rd on the depth chart that often uses 3 or 4 WR and 3 OL positions that can change hands this year with the right draftee. True enough. I just think there are diminishing returns on upgrading the offense compared to the defense at this point. That's not to say that if there wasn't an unbelievable value on offense, I wouldn't want them to take him and worry about the rest later. I like the offense but do not think for a second we are at the point of diminishing returns on upgrades there. The WR group is a 2 man operation. There is one legit NFL TE. The offensive line is stable but very unspectacular. The RB has a lot of miles and the QB is not Peyton Manning in his prime. There's literally room for improvement at nearly every spot.

    Agree with all of this. Also...hit on the first two draft picks and I think it can be more than just average, which would be awesome. But at this point, those first two don't really even have to be defense. Obviously tackle, secondary and even LB needs bodies, but they are in a position where they can draft an offensive player if a bigger impact one is available.

    I'm not swing expert but it's hard to tell on one swing from that angle, although the pitch seemed to be low and inside. When pausing it his front arm was fully extended on contact and didn't seem odd to me.

    I think it is important to remember the Bears aren't being forced to build an elite defense. They need to have a reasonably effective defense, because their offense is awesome and will win games. They haven't acquired, and weren't exactly looking for, individual difference makers. They have acquired several guys who are reasonable upgrades to what was there before, who, for the most part, can make the occasional impact. Allen isn't going to play every snap. And since he's not making $12m you don't have to justify the cap hit with unnecessary playing time. If they can just field a defense that flirts with average, they will win a lot of games next year. And they are well on their way to doing that. The biggest question to me remains the coordinator.

    Is it Cutler specific or even pre-Cutler?

    Hahaha...Prisco loves to hate on the Bears. He might just dislike Allen. Going by cbs free agent rankins, prisco had Allen rated much lower than Kirwan had him rated.

    Probably at least into late December.

    He's older, but he's young enough to have stuff in the tank. I was interested in keeping Peppers with legit ends on the other side. Now they get a younger better end at a cheaper price to play that role.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    I think he was consensus better than Peppers and pretty decent. Not a stud, but good.

    I mean, sure, but Angelo "fixed" the o-line as well at one point. The problem is he thought it was fixed for good when he did that and it broke in a hurry. The Bears still need to keep drafting offensive linemen early.

    4/32 15.5m guaranteed. Could be 3/24 if voided down (no idea what that means)

    damn

    Wrigley's seats are much closer now though, right?

    it's that time of year (condo selling time)

    apropos of nothing I just saw David Stern on the street chatting up a random guy. I've seen him before with a mini-entourage but he was solo this time. Is he retired yet?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I've seen numerous "get well" type messages from other beat writers the past year or two but never knew anything specific. I also didn't know he was only 58.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    The NL average was .315, the Cubs were .300 (14th). In 2000 the average was .342 and the Cubs were .335 (10th).

    Don't know what you mean by an either/or thing. The point kyle made was that while it's cool the Cubs have power in the minors it is surprising and kind of bizarre that three years into an Epstein era this team is going to be bad at getting on base. Probably their best guy at getting on base last year was the aforementioned Castillo.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Only 58 and apparently had already battled back from a stroke and some other issues.

    Did Tim Sassone die? Chris Kuc and Bruce Miles have tweeted about "missing him already". Welp, seems like that is the case:

    This Teuvo talk is already quite overwhelming, I can only imagine it will be dwarfed by Javy talk whenever that day comes.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    yes
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Hope not. But that lead is, 1-1
