  1. Given the strength of the safety position from the best availables, I'm going to assume the Bears get one of those guys. Seems like there are 4 rock solid S's to pick from at 43 (Chinn being the only one not listed on Raw's top 10). Although I know it's time to restock the OT position, I kinda don't see them doing that this year since whoever they draft won't likely see the field this year. They don't have the luxury of stockpiling future talent this year given the lack of quality picks. I'll be interested to see if they pass on Kmet if he's available with their 2nd pick. Chinn and Ezra Cleveland would be my next two. I think they'll go defensive back first and then heavy offense the next 3 picks. Hopefully they can trade back unless one of those top offensive guys are there. I don't really want Kmet at 50. But could see that. Could really use a pick before 164 for whatever position they don't get between OL and O playmaker at 50. So a future pick trade could be coming today or tomorrow. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk if Kmet is there at 43, it would be hard to pass on him especially with this years safety depth. Kmet, Winfield would be very good draft, imo
  2. everything down on Burrows @ #1 or you going off script? Last I heard the odds on burrows not being 1 were astronomical yes, but ssr has money to burn....so why not throw caution to the wind? with the economy down, even if he loses his bet, he'll still be able to hire a few street urchins at less then1/5 the price of his current staff to recover the loss!!!
  3. everything down on Burrows @ #1 or you going off script?
  4. I never watch this thing, but I am jonesing pretty bad for some sort of sports. I may watch Is it just the 1st rd tonight, and what time?
  5. 1. Baez 2. Riz 3. Wood 4. Sosa 5. Dawson 6. ...too many qualify it's not even fair to try and list, some great memories of guys like Sandberg, Bryant, Ricky Gutierrez, etc etc etc
  6. Ifedi would be a nice addition
  7. yea but nick foles
  8. how could that be???? Aaron Rodgers is GOD!!!!! (what if....Rodgers really can't see TE's)
  9. That was the play that broke all the love I had for Mitch
  10. Pace loves 1st rd busts tho
  11. Todd Gurley released
  12. Im busier now then before “social distancing” and “working from home” became the american way. Im getting tired, i may have to hire. I hope this keeps inexplicably growing
  13. Nothing important, but the most significant part of this trade for me is that I have a good friend who is a dead ringer for Foles.
  14. $30 mil a year!!?? No thanks
  15. thats....steep. ouch
  16. you'd horsefeathers yourself for even a rookie contract
  17. Yea, thats ....less then optimal. Hope he’s cheap What is less than optimal? I would have preferred Kwitkowski unless he was just too expensive
  18. Yea, thats ....less then optimal. Hope he’s cheap
  19. I'm not a professional pitcher obviously, but I've never gained control by lowering my arm slot, I had to be over the top on delivery to be effective at all. So I ask: is this witchcraft?
  20. it is up, but so what. None of those 3 are significanlty better the Mitch. Bridgewater is probably the only available *obvious upgrade, unless he resigned already and I missed it. dalton is probably better but i wouldn't bother with him mariota fine whatever if they want him to back up and have someone to throw in if mitch really horsefeathers the bed. don't care at all to bother with keenum. carr is the best of the bunch. carr or bust. i'd prolly go Bridgewater or Carr, then Mitch...or bust
  21. Statistically speaking, they aren't much better if at all. Granted, QB rating isn't the end all be all of statistics but: Keenum- has 2 seasons in the last 4 worse than Trubisky's 2019 83 QB rating. Only 1 season in his career better than Trubisky's 2018 95.4 rating. Also, 32 years old with no upside to get better. Mariota- has 1 season better than Trubisky's 2018 95.4, and that was a 95.6 season. Same issues as Mitch with taking sacks. Doesn't throw a lot of picks, but similar gunshy and doesn't process quick enough to anticipate hitting an open receiver. More consistently mediocre though than the rest of this group, Trubisky included. Dalton- was statistically worse than Trubisky in 2019. Only has 1 season with a better QB rating than Mitch's 2018, and that was back in 2015. Older than Keenum so also doesn't have upside to improve. A little INT happy at times. Doesn't have a bunch of arm talent. isn't passer rating up league wide? if it were a good statistic we wouldn't be talking about replacing trubisky. his 2018 wasn't nearly as good as his passer rating makes it out to be. at least, not if you're looking at it from the standards of even 5-10 years ago. it is up, but so what. None of those 3 are significanlty better the Mitch. Bridgewater is probably the only available *obvious upgrade, unless he resigned already and I missed it.
  22. in an offensive tackle they are
  23. I'm not arguing, I'm just pointing out how athletic an NHL hockey goalie has to be. They also tend to be some of the taller guys on the team...fwiw.
  24. I can ice skate and I used to play roller hockey, and I had friends that played fairly competatively in high school and college. You can't tell me that probably half of their roster has some experience playing goalie when they were young. And THEY are the ones used to having 100 mph pucks shot at them, and that's without a goalie mask. Not sure that the rec leagues that these 40 year old, ex-college goalies are getting their reps in has prepared them for NHL slapshots. All that said, I can buy that they would fare better than Joe 4th line defender, but I'm most curious how teams were allowed to use non-rostered players in the first place. Every kid on our mite team rotates through goalie, and our best skaters are the absolute worst at goalie. By the time they are 10 they will either play goalie or not. But having experience as a 12 year old and then suiting back up as a 25 year old is night and day. https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-inside-story-on-the-oddity-that-is-the-emergency-backup-goalie-and-why-it-could-soon-change this is not someone who sucks at skating (the rest of what you say I totally agree with): http://www.fftimes.com/sites/default/files/story-photos/goalie-splits.jpg
