A month later, they still have the 9th worst record and they're a full 4 games out of moving up with 8 games to go. I see zero hope for this team, just permanently sub mediocre. Every decision they make is wrong.
People who talk about, yeah but he doesn't hit HRs, don't seem to realize that if Nico was even a 20 HR a year gear he'd finish in the top 10 in MVP voting annually. He literally does everything else other than hit HRs very well.
I mean, I think it's substantially better than last year. Is it a bat short? Yeah, probably, but they didn't expect Tyler Austin's knee to explode. I do disagree with the fact that Alcantara was sent down though.
Back to back sweet 16s,hopefully Underwood can start landing some premier US talent. He has done well overseas, but his 2026 class has just 1 kid in the rivals top 150 ranking . He can't continue to rely on finding diamonds in the rough like Wagler if he wants to win it all.
I had to look into it, I had no idea Zah Frazier was finally medically cleared after missing the entire preseason and season last year. I thought it was doubtful he ever suited up for the Bears.
Sure sounds like what we've got at LT is what we're going to have week 1 next year. Feels like the first 3 picks are going to be some combination of EDGE/safety/DL unless there's a Burden situation where they're just too good to pass up.
This is a very strong safety draft. Draft your safety of the future with the 2nd 2nd round pick or the 3rd round pick. Sadly I think we're mostly horsefeathered for left tackle in this draft, so the rest of the focus needs to be on EDGE and DT.
