    We're talking about last year's team, how it performed, and how this year's roster is shaping up by comparison. The year before is 100% irrelevant. It's ok to just admit you were talking out of your ass on that one. So you want me to talk about whether the 2023 bears d line might compare to the 2022 bears d line, but we can't talk about projections? That unfairly benefits the 2023 side, which hasn't had a chance to face any potential underperformance or injury. Between this and tim's "I didn't really mean I wanted to make a bet when I said I wanted to make a bet,' the neurotypicals are confusing today. jesus christ

    how so? and quinn was really horsefeathering bad when he did play last year. And he was really good the year before. A has been looking for a bounce back is still ahead of our collection of never-was's That's how bad we are We're talking about last year's team, how it performed, and how this year's roster is shaping up by comparison.

    Like this list. I'd add Clowney too. Za'darius Smith also (if he ends up being available).

    This is our 10th best prospect? Holy horsefeathers what a system we've got

    gutted (the DL) halfway through how? by trading robert quinn? it was horrid all year. It's even worse now on paper. Quinn would be our best by a *wide* margin. how so? and quinn was really horsefeathering bad when he did play last year.

    For what little it's worth in football with the sample sizes involved, they played more like a 5 win team than a 3 win team last year based on pythag. The eye test would seem to agree with some of the games they blew or had a chance to win late. They are already going to be markedly improved in some areas - and weaker in none of significance - as compared to last year and the draft should bolster the roster some more too. I have no idea where it's going to end up at this point and obviously the next couple of months will determine a lot. Oh, also, the Packers are going to be very bad and the Vikings are not actually good so who knows. It's hard to make a fair comparison because they gutted the roster halfway through, but if you take the average strength, the D-line will be noticeably worse. gutted (the DL) halfway through how? by trading robert quinn? it was horrid all year.

    So you would definitely take the under on a 6.5 win season right now? I sense an opportunity to win an internet bet here.

    Some dudes I'm still holding out hope we take a look at and/or sign... Isaac Seumalo - G Jadeveon Clowney - DE Melvin Ingram - DE Leonard Floyd - DE Mike Gesicki? - TE

    Stumbled onto this while looking up his info (obvious usual PFF caveats apply) https://justblogbaby.com/2022/12/03/raiders-special-defensive-tackle-andrew-billings/2/

    he's certainly not a star and no he wasn't better than everyone on the cubs. huh? positional value matters. a lot. especially in this extreme of a case.

    whitehair isn't our center because we had no other adequate option for LG, that's the reason. I think they drafted mustipher hoping to develop him and two staffs gave SM extended time to prove them wrong, and low and behold, he did prove them wrong. he sucks mustipher was undrafted, but yeah iirc whitehair was generally good at C but i think nagy swapped him and daniels following 2018 because of the shotgun snap issues
  20. David
    poles said this today
  21. David
    I generally agree. Hoping Borom isn't a starter and would really like to pick up Seumalo and give Jenkins a crack at RT. Whitehair at C is fine for now, but wouldn't mind an add there.

    So, Carter never left the scene of the accident

    Meh. Schwarber was a career 113 OPS+ guy with no defensive value when the Cubs let him go. What the hell were they going to get for him? He has hit better the past two seasons, but still has yet to exceed 3 WAR in his career. Not sweating him or that decision whatsoever. The hindsight angst some people have over it is overblown. Hell, Joc was a better hitter last year. Is this really the baseline now? We have all of two hitters projected to give us more than 3 WAR and one of them we had to pay $160m for. Go pay for dudes that can hit, bonus points if they're exceedingly easy to cheer for. Basically just be the 2022 Phillies (one hitter over 3 WAR, incidentally). Baseline of what? I'm just saying he's not worth sweating, even in hindsight. And, incidentally, the only reason Harper wasn't over 3 WAR last year was because he only played 99 games.

Hell, Joc was a better hitter last year. it’s not hindsight angst. It was strictly a cost cutting measure and not a baseball decision. They also could have approached Rizzo in the middle of his under market extension and negotiated a reasonable extension to end his career as a Cub. That one is a little hindsight because I didn’t realize how incompetent they would be finding a first baseman. If I did then I would have been begging for this move rather than just thinking it was a nice idea at the time. Meh. I considered Pederson an upgrade at the time. Schwarber has been better since, but Pederson was better last year. Again, meh.

    It helps to mute Braggs.
