  1. If they pass up Will Campbell for a tackle coming off an injury, I will be rather displeased.
  2. Because we hadn't specifically heard from both Marlin and the article posted on here about Tom's financial issues bringing a lot of doubt that the existing money is spent.
  3. Yes they brought back Bellinger, which was more or less necessary so that they weren't marching out a worse team in 2024 than they were in 2023. The results ended up being the same.
  4. You expect more than me. Every time I have expectations for Jed he falls well below them. At this point I think we've more or less got the roster you're going to see at spring training. Maybe a couple more pieces of roster fodder, but I doubt there's anyone of any actual impact.
  5. Not terribly different for me. I have Tier 1( Guys who have an established history of putting top tier offenses together) Johnson Monken Brady Tier 2(Guys with a history of coaching success) Carroll,McCarthy Tier 3(Guys who are wildcards or guys who are very good defensive coaches but don't fit the Bear's needs) Flores, Kingsbury, Glenn, Coen Tier 4(Guys I would be livid if they hired) Rivera, Kafka, Arthur Smith,
  6. If they had no intentions of extending Tucker nor using the remaining money to build around Tucker with premium talent in 2025 then let's call it what it is, a horrific mistake. Giving up years of control with Paredes and a guy with immense offensive upside for a season in which, yet again, they're trying to sneak into the playoffs is nothing short of stupid.
  7. I think that's extremely dubious at this point.
  8. Is Henry a top 5 RB of all time? He's 1300 yards from breaking into the top 10 all time for rushing yards, but he's doing it at 4.9 YPC
  9. Some really bad takes in here, but these 2 stand out to me. 1. Why would they extend Steele? He's going to be almost 32 before he hits FA. What's the rush to throw money at that? 2) Alcantara is underwhelming? He's an above average defender at a premium defensive position who put up 125 and 124 wRC+ over the last 2 years across AA and AAA in his age 21 and 22 season.
  10. In a offseason in which the Cubs had 60M to spend, their big signing is going to be Matt Boyd. That's almost impossibly awful.
  11. If they can get Will Riley's shot straightened out, I'd put them up there with any team in the nation.
  12. Unconn has now lost their 4th game. Came we please drop them out of the horsefeathers top 10 for a while?
  13. This is one of those scenarios where if the Cubs moved Nico for a young top starter to slot in front of Taillon then it makes a lot of sense, but as constituted Kim would be a bench guy even if he would still probably see 400 PAs
  14. I'd like to see the Ravens win because I'm so over people shitting on Lamar Jackson,
  15. Certainly wasn't the fan's fault that they nontendered Schwarber either. I remember people being pretty pissed about that.
  16. Yeah I'm not how it's the fan's fault that everyone from the 2016 team other than Contreras has become pretty much awful.
  17. Someone needs to take Vrabel off the board to save the McCaskeys from doing their usual meatbally '85 bears horsefeathers.
  18. Well if all 3 sign that pretty much puts an end to our Sasaki hopes.
  19. Both FA in 2027
  20. Pederson is out in Jacksonville
  21. Yeah I'd set the over under at 2 right now
  22. Illinois shot 5/26 from 3 and still won, I'll take that everyday
  23. Well with the Raiders game basically over, and the Jets looking like they're going to win, the win today was the difference between #7 and #10, nothing too awful.
  24. Well with 2 games to go that would have changed things. The Bears would have been picking 8th on loss and 10th on win.
