I don't remember either, but it's too easy to pile on sometimes

nah, I think when people are talking about BPA, they are talking BPA in a position of need or fit for the organization. What it isnt is fixating on a certain player and going all in to get them. And I think every year certain players drop. Justin Fields is a perfect example. This year for example, one could see Carter dropping to the Bears at 9, and he would certainly fit all the definitions of BPA

Impossible, but a 6th, Herbert, spare change for Henry? https://apple.news/A409oxcmQTCuvTm_Bz4vqyg

Obviously, a Qb setting qb records (Fields)boosts the overall skill pos ratings a lot. But it's fun to see the Bears getting praise for it in general.

That's not what the 4-6 was but yea, maybe a modern interpretation

It's a great smoke screen

I feel like the Bears are in position to take a top 6 talent given all the focus on QBs this year. JSN doesn't seem like that guy

I sure wish I new what was on that video you can't just click into it? it didnt load correctly the first time I clicked on it either, went to some random youtube video. the second time I got the JF highlights from the Bears/Dolphins game

Shots fired! Interesting read, you get the idea that front office types really like the way Poles operates. Let's hope it translates to success

Yeah, sounds like Poles believes he could have gotten a 2024 FRP from Houston and potentially some additional picks this year. But I think the package from Carolina lessens a decent amount from 1 to 2. And I'm guessing that meant no DJ Moore or possibly no 2025 2nd round pick. The 49ers gave up 2 future 1sts and a future 3rd to move from 12 to 3. And they may have paid a premium with Miami assuming they'd be a playoff team in 2022 (which that picked turned out to be 28th, no chance Carolina's is that late). So, even with a similar deal you're looking at: 9th pick, 2023 3rd from Carolina, 2024 1st from Houston, 2024 1st from Carolina, 2025 1st from Carolina vs 9th pick, 2023 2nd from Carolina, 2024 1st from Carolina, 2025 2nd from Carolina, DJ Moore Of course, the Houston deal could have included another 2023 pick as well. Obviously, that Houston pick next year looks very enticing, but I think it's a huge assumption they would have given up a future 1st. And if they would have, it wouldn't have been much more than that. So basically, it comes down to DJ Moore and 2025 1st for a 2024 1st and a 2025 2nd + the proverbial "bird in the hand". Houston could have changed their minds. Carolina could have changed there's or the package. It's obviously a fine deal, which I'm sure Bears fans will completely be rational about when reading the article. I know what Poles said but I have a hard time Houston would really offer their 1st next year to move up a spot. But what do I know? I'm happy with what we got as others have said, and the ability to get it done before FA was helpful. was that what he said? I didn't hear his interview, but reading the description was it something like Houston to 1, bears to 2 for this year's first and parts, then Carolina to 2, bears to 9 for 3 1sts? Instead, Poles said I want Moore, and Carolina said if that's the case we want #1?

I feel like it will really depend on how big of a jump Fields takes in development, so it's not hard for me to see them on the cusp of a playoff spot

I know DJ Moore is a good pick up, but man...all the 1sts!

I *still" cant tell what percentage of the fan base is memeing and what percent thinks he's actually good. 5 % memeing. I don't think the full remaining 95% think he's like good good. Definitely some variance. But prob like 12-23% think he's next Urlacher or something. I felt like Sanborn's relative success (he tackled some people) showed more how the LB position can have only a limited effect on success if it isnt approached correctly. The approach to the two new guys is definitely interesting, however

this is a BS account sharing random made up crap for engagement they might have a great analytics department but this guy sure as hell doesn't know but they did photoshop Cutty on the monitor, so its really a win-win

Theoretically, that gets balanced out by the running teams being better at killing clock to hold onto leads at the end of the game. I dont really buy that. For it to be true, one would have to assume that the run-heavy team either has the ball at the end of the game and is slowly picking up 1st downs or has a commanding lead of which the other team makes a comeback, but falls short due to clock management. But how often does a run-heavy team build large leads? I don't really know, but my anecdotal view is not often, and the bigger element of the overall outcome is the run-heavy teams' defensive play. IE; how well can they stop the high-flying offense? I think it is better to have a strong D and a strong, dynamic passing offense.

So you would definitely take the under on a 6.5 win season right now? I sense an opportunity to win an internet bet here. For what little it's worth in football with the sample sizes involved, they played more like a 5 win team than a 3 win team last year based on pythag. The eye test would seem to agree with some of the games they blew or had a chance to win late. They are already going to be markedly improved in some areas - and weaker in none of significance - as compared to last year and the draft should bolster the roster some more too. I have no idea where it's going to end up at this point and obviously the next couple of months will determine a lot. Oh, also, the Packers are going to be very bad and the Vikings are not actually good so who knows. Detroit looks much better, however

How many 1 score games did they lose in 2022? I'd agree wit gooney that a multi year nfl rebuild is foolish. Losing starts to set in as the culture and becomes expected. But I also feel that the moves they've made should flip the script on those one score loses

Not a ton of yards tear to year, but in 2021 (or 2020) he had 11 tds, I'd agree

it sounds like it. I really like that PFF seems to think that he improved as the season went on, hopefully we got him on a career upswing

boy, I hope they have some plan. so far its been....confusing

I don't even know who Mark Pennel is and I watched every game last year lol I only remember him because of a bad pf he committed...and I remember at that time thinking he played for the opposing team when they said his name on the broadcast

whitehair isn't our center because we had no other adequate option for LG, that's the reason. I think they drafted mustipher hoping to develop him and two staffs gave SM extended time to prove them wrong, and low and behold, he did prove them wrong. he sucks mustipher was undrafted, but yeah iirc whitehair was generally good at C but i think nagy swapped him and daniels following 2018 because of the shotgun snap issues I forgot about those

I get that
