    This is a nifty article on him from a month ago brings up some interesting points. It sounds like he's the reserved type who spends a lot of time studying film and isn't particularly outspoken. It also sounds like BYU was desperate for a QB and didn't bother recruiting him until they were pretty much forced to do so, which tells me they knew he was really talented, but they had concerns about how he'd fit with BYU overall. Frankly, I don't think character issues in QBs should be much of a concern. There are and have been numerous successful QBs who are complete weirdos, jackoffs, sexual predators, bigots, and outright idiots. If this causes Wilson to drop into the Bears' lap, awesome, but it's wholly unjustified unless Wilson is doing something like shooting heroin into his forehead during interviews.

    Sweet Jesus those are some Prince Charles-level ears. Also, I have full faith Pace will find a way to horsefeathers this up, either through grossly overpaying for Wentz or through failing to acquire anyone meaningful and going into 2021 with Foles and an overdrafted QB at 20 in an open competition for QB in training camp.

    I'm so ready to change the thread title again. This is nauseating.

    I feel like we're on the verge of one of those Bears seasons where the team will somehow pull a 13-3 season out of its rear end (complete with two losses to the Packers) with a humiliating first round out in the playoffs, followed by extensions given to everyone because the team did so gosh darn well in the regular season.

    Two words: Scott Feldman. :beg:

    This team will horsefeathers it up against the Packers after annihilating the Jags. It's destiny.

    It seems that he had more upside than most in this draft. Since it is a weak draft why not take a high upside guy? Correct The lack of March Madness also made what was already a weak draft even harder for most of us to evaluate. In past years, March Madness was a great way to help shake out the draft from an outsider's perspective, particularly with toolsy-yet-unproven guys who would either step up to the plate or who would falter on a national stage. I think more of us would have had a positive opinion of Williams if we had seen FSU in the tournament, but I get the sense that most of us didn't watch a single FSU game this past season and instead are relying on expert opinions and YouTube clips to develop our own opinions of him. Granted, evaluating players solely based on March Madness performance is a recipe for disaster, but, on the flip side, this draft will provide an interesting litmus test for the front office's ability to identify talent and for the coaching staff's ability to develop talent.

    I think this is the first time I've ever said this, but that's a really smart decision by the Marlins.

    Listening to Rick Hahn during the press conference was just painful. It was abundantly clear he was not happy with the hiring and constantly used the passive voice in describing the decision process while offering half-hearted deflections regarding Reinsdorf's meddling in this process. It was almost like watching a hostage video. I actually like the team he built and the White Sox were a legitimately enjoyable team to follow throughout the season, but this feels like such a step in the wrong direction.

    Wait, Mills? Seriously? Huh. Can't say I would have expected that when I checked this thread.

    Duly noted.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how much of a debacle this will be in relation to the Blue Jays. Canada is going to quarantine the entire team any time they come back from a road series.

    I always knew that I just wanted to know why you are STILL TALKING ABOUT CHAD KELLY I’ll make a ban bet with you that he starts an NFL game in the next two seasons. Loser gets permabanned by Tim. I know a bunch of people on this board would love to see you accept that bet so I’ll be permabanned, so don’t let those guys down. Accept it. Yeah, but I could also arbitrarily ban both of you for the hell of it. I won't, but still.
  17. Outshined_One
    Yeahno.

    Additionally, this could really harm teams that acquired Astros players post-2017 not knowing about their involvement in the sign stealing scheme. How fair would it be to the White Sox if, say, Dallas Keuchel gets a 50 game ban out of this? It'd be hilarious, but also seriously inequitable.

    Welp, that's the end of this thread.

    i definitely have been... circa 2010-11 or so. i don't think i can say i've been more pissed off at them than i am now, though. Look at it this way, at least this offseason we haven't traded three useful pitching prospects for one season Juan Pierre. Yet.
  21. Outshined_One
    I don't see how they can possibly keep him next year. This team has become a train wreck and he just keeps slamming his head into the wall doing the same ineffective things over and over. Barring the team losing out (which is possible), I think everyone comes back next season for one last go-round. This team won't eat the contracts for Pace, Nagy, and Trubisky this offseason, plus their draft situation kinda sucks. I don't see them giving Pace another HC hire if Nagy gets fired, either. Now, if they suck again in 2020, then I think they will clean house.

    It's time to say goodbye, old friend.

    I saw a comment on the latest Deadspin article on Patterson's run back, which made me realize just how damn familiar the comments in this thread seem to me: Looking through this thread, I feel like I've read people say the exact same QB comments on Grossman, Cutler, and Orton and the exact same HC comments on Jauron, Lovie, and Trestman over the last 18 years. This team is never going to break the mold, is it?
  24. Outshined_One
    Wait wait wait wait. What if Zobrist cheated on his wife...with a member of the Cubs? I mean, it is 2019...

    Oh goody, almora is up this inning.
