JAKE! you heathens

Ugh, I need to get back to TC to visit old friends. My grad class from the U is talking about a reunion next year (20 years!) and if/when that happens I will def go. But Seattle is a long distance from Fridley, so until then..have a beer for me I appreciate the offer, I've met a few members of this board through the years.

Become? Sheeeeeet

Now you know why Tim sold so cheap: ITS US MOOOOWAHHAHAHA

When I first got into the new forum, it started sending me notices about how long I've been a member (over 10 years - old timey) and number of posts (I forget the award for that- but over 10k), but yea, 10 years I think

Tapatalk worked great more recently. But mostly I think I just see the app on my phone and instinctively think NSBB. Maybe Brock could develop his own app I'm making due with firefox, this version of the board is far better then the old one to load and read. Jumping between forums isn't that great. But for someone to claim chrome as the answer...jeesh...talk about buggy

Yea, I see this as more "honest Poles" than "pushover Poles""

Weird, the board just updated me to that status even AI knows I'm old

Does the new board allow tapatalk? Or is there a better mobile app to use?

sigh..this is what I get for trying to ditch cable and choose youtube tv go Quinnipiac

I would love to talk about the frozen four. Fantilli looks legit, and I hated losing the Big10 championship to him. Be great if: 1) Penn State pulls the upset then loses to MN (!) 2) Blackhwaks draft Fantilli

YOUVE GIVEN US OVER TO THE MACHINES!!!???? HOW COULD YOU TIM!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH thanks Brock

what happened to the other sports forum? is it gone forever?

Still the best

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
