    Eh, he's not Phil Emery.......yet
  3. minnesotacubsfan
    yea, I feel like if it was real Poles would have pulled the trigger on it by now and it would be all over the sports pages

    In the replies, be says his source is "HH" which assume is Halas Hall Idk, I think I'd start calling Poles "King Poles" if it does happen

    No idea if this is reliable or just some twitter dude, but this would be a nice trade

    yea, I mean justin fields was also thought about as being a pocket passer .... but he ALSO had amazing physical traits: https://thedraftnetwork.com/2021-nfl-draft-scouting-report-qb-justin-fields/ Kyle, I feel like you want to be right about something no one else was right about. I think it would give you a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of mental superiority. That's cool I guess...you be you as they say....but also accept that you really don't know much nah man he's just super pedantic because of the way his brain is wired. i get it. i'm not as bad, but i get it. it sucks even more IRL because I often find that i can't have a conversation without arguing if i don't agree (assuming it's something i care/know about), and a lot of people don't respond great to that. ah..the disagreeable esoteric. I hadn't considered that

    Yeah, I'm sure you did your due diligence to actually look. https://dawindycity.com/2023/01/27/chicago-bears-news-draft-expert-fields-better-young/ https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/espn-analyst-doesnt-understand-bears-justin-fields-trade-talks https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-micah-parsons-fires-back-at-justin-fields-bryce-young-debate why let effort and research get in the way of a good red herring

    Jones would be playing in the USFL in very short order if he hits FA demanding $45 mil

    Except that if you are in Pole's shoes and you miss on the (not) Fields draft pick, you'll likely never work in the NFL again if you miss by keeping JF, you'll likely get a second chance. This is an example of a conflict of interest that does exist in the sports world. I think it's implied most of us are discussing the d desirability of moves relative to the Bears perspective and not Poles' personally Except it's Poles making that decision, and not the Bears perspective, as you say it

    sunk fallacy based on what? What do you know about any of the college QBs that scream start over? I was watching some "best of" videos on FB because 1) I'm old and 2) horsefeathers the offseason and something stood out on me. Fields holds the ball, but when he does, hes good for at least 15 yards. Its like he does it on purpose. trade down bitches It's a sunk cost fallacy because it's privileging the person you already have as the default scenario. I know this is something some people struggle with, but you can come to the right conclusion with an invalid argument. "None of the college QBs impress me enough to want them more than fields" is a valid argument. "You have to be 100% certain to trade fields" is not this is crazy. what College prospect available this year is better than Fields? and I mean Fields as a college prospect 2 years ago or Fields as he is now? none of them are better than JF in either comparison.

    If you are trading Fields you'd better be 100% certain that Fields is not the guy and that the guy you draft is the guy. You are basically staking your career to that decision. I like GMs that aren't afraid to take some risks but that is way too much of a gamble based on what we've seen from Fields so far. This feels like some variant of sunk cost fallacy. You should make whichever decision you believe is best, neither deserves "you better be certain to not pick me" status. sunk fallacy based on what?

    I don't care he's fetishing about as long as he gives a kings ransom to the Bears for the #1

    Just kidding lol I did have the thought that Virginia died from that tweet. But the McKenna thing came up on my apple newsfeed yesterday as weird as that is. Never heard of him either
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    probably, but also McKenna died yesterday i had to look up who the hell this was. a minority owner? RIP to that guy and all but nobody cares lol. He was my uncle
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    probably, but also McKenna died yesterday

    Why enlarge all the bases? To boost offensive runs by shortening the path to run by 4.5"? Does it have any measurable affect?
