Random In-season Musings and Rumors
Derwood replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He hilariously becomes a .300, 40 HR guy in every season of The Show that I play -
It's too bad

Ugh, don't give up homers to Riff-Raff

We should be pounding this fool

2017 HR Derby {Discussion & Transaction Thread}
Derwood replied to Southpaw19's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If I had picked Stanton instead of Jones back in April, I'd be in first place right now -
He's 14 HR up on the second place player on the HR list (Judge with 37)

Carasiti and Hancock would require 40 man spots. Technically you could find room for them by DFA'ing a Rosario or a Frankoff, but it's an extra barrier to getting called up for what amounts to the 11th spot in the pen. Len and JD mentioned Carasiti last night like he was a lock to be called up. I assumed he was on the 40-man.

Keystone Cops? Ok, why not

Where are you projecting the Bears running game? Top 5 in the NFL? I mean, you DO realize that Jordan Howard averaged the same ypc as Ezekiel Elliot, right? At least base your capricious skepticism in fact. I'm asking you your opinion, not giving mine
-
Trubisky may not be the greatest QB ever, but the running game is clearly excellent. I mean, do you know who the bears are? This whole thing just smacks of you trying to simulate human observations and concerns but failing miserably. No one will accept you with salad. Where are you projecting the Bears running game? Top 5 in the NFL?

So they moved it to a city....that is also being hit with a hurricane?

I don't know, but people seem to have selective amnesia with Monty and Quintana; they forget all of Monty's bad starts, and forget all of Quintana's good ones when has quintana been good for the Cubs? Wow, that was quick

don't worry, we all get to be bored out of our minds again with football for the next several weeks watching glennon struggle to try to 2005 orton some wins for us I'm impressed that Cleveland is actually starting Kizer over Osweiler. I wish the Bears would just start Mitch. Maybe we'll get lucky and Glennon will fall in a hole
-
Yeah, I kinda did
-
please just admit right now that you had no idea who jordan howard was when you made that post and yes the one dude who said that 20 year thing represents everyone in this thread I know who Jordan Howard is. But go on and be super weird and defensive about this mediocre football team.
-
There's a difference between "he's looked good in the preseason and might be the real deal" and "he's the savior of the franchise for the next 20 years"
-
Everyone knows sulley is a crazy blowhard (only my teams!), but he wears it on his sleeve. Your measured response is concern that Trubisky isn't Andrew Luck as a prospect. My measured concern is everyone in this thread crowning Mitch's ass before he's thrown a meaningful pass.
-
Derwood displays some concerns about how the off-season went: CRAZY HOT TAKES Sulley proclaims Trubisky to be the next Aaron Rodgers, plus the running game is "elite": reasoned analysis.
-
Lol, ok. No
-
Rofl, come the horsefeathers on. Derwood's takes are becoming bum-esque. Says the guy with the hottest takes in the thread
-
Fair enough
-
I'm less annoyed by what they gave up to move up, and more concerned about if Trubisky is a "franchise" QB to begin with. Any QB is a gamble, but Trubisky wasn't even a consensus first QB off the board, much less an Andrew Luck-esque "next big thing". mainly because some people don't know that deshaun watson will never throw accurately enough to be all that good. He was good enough to beat Ohio State (handily) and Alabama last year in the playoffs, but I guess we'll see

Almost all draft related rage is people reacting negatively to deviations from the "established" predicted draft order. I personally love all of the post draft hot takes because literally no one has any idea of how the players in the draft will turn out. Independent of how Trubisky turns out, the trade up seems kind of stupid to me. But marginally stupid as they didn't trade mortgage the future for it. The gave up a 3rd (2017), a 4th (2017), and a 3rd (2018). In the second round, they dropped 9 spots and picked up a 4th (2017), a 6th (2017), and a 4th (2018). While these two moves should probably be evaluated independently, it seems to me the dropped when they felt like they could still get their guy and jumped up when they weren't sure if they could get their guy. It's not completely a wash, but it softens the blow for sure. "The Bears have potentially drafted something they never had before - a franchise quarterback!" "Yeah, but couldn't they have drafted him more economically?" I'm less annoyed by what they gave up to move up, and more concerned about if Trubisky is a "franchise" QB to begin with. Any QB is a gamble, but Trubisky wasn't even a consensus first QB off the board, much less an Andrew Luck-esque "next big thing".
