He's not a zero and there's almost nothing that can be gleaned from his disjointed season with the Bears. Throw it out. He put up 870 and 863 yards his first two years and then was misused in the slot and playing with awful QBs with Pittsburgh this year. He's at least a cromulent NFL receiver.

I've been clear about my vision for the Bears since before we even drafted fields. I want an elite pocket passing game. Screw defense, screw running the football. If fields is everything we want him to be, he can fetch just as much of a trade haul as the pick can Good thing Fields is fully capable of carrying an elite passing game. Just try and enjoy it when it happens. He will and he'll pretend he was never on this BS

Shocker. I'll take Justin Fields and Will Anderson plus another 1st and some other early round picks. do not engage with this guy
-
Can we please not do this horsefeathers? It is not happening.
-
I don't think I've paced around the room like I did during that final Colts possession since the double doink
-
Lovie won't be there next year so good for him
-
I'm so happy. That was insane!

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
David replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Jury is still out but man does Claypool look like a major fail right now. What was the point anyway since there wasn't going to be a real shot at developing this rapport between Fields and a WR without several other necessary pieces in the pass game? I would expect Poles as a good GM to realize that, especially since his whole plan was to tank, build draft picks, and spend them in the offseason. It sure looks to me like he shot his own plan in the foot. what? Come on. The point was not to make sure Fields and Claypool clicked immediately. The point was to get a receiver with talent using assets they could afford to lose. It hasn’t been a good start, and it may fail in the end. But the jury is still out until next season, after an offseason together and many more reps. The move was fine*. There’s a very good chance they won’t be able to acquire a better one. *But this goes back to failing to acquire or draft a receiver last year. almost verbatim what I was going to reply to this -

I guess another reason to consider a trade down to get more immediate assets. One of the talking heads on Twitter, might have been a Sun times guy was saying the Bears would have to have a roughly 80% hit rate on moves this offseason to contend for the playoffs in 2023. That may ultimately be right. We’ll see "One of the talking heads?" Do you mean dumb ass Dan Wiederer? -

The Bears seem to have enough sway with the league to avoid getting picked even when they're among that group. IIRC, that was the story the last time they fit that criteria. I've given up on hoping that they'll ever be picked. They seem to be very much against allowing that kind of access. At least they have some OK in-house behind the scenes stuff being produced nowadays, but yeah. -
Feels like bizarro world, TBH. It's one thing to say nice things about an upcoming (or recent) opponent, but the way these guys are going out of their way to talk about him (and what they're saying) is something I can barely comprehend about a Bears QB.

This was also a fun listen...Heard it on the Score earlier today

Correa to the Giants 13/350 (Deal Nixed Due to Medicals)
David replied to mias_tisg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
yall thought this horsefeathers was over? -
Unless there was some other injury I'm missing, Fields just had cramps and went back into the game. As for Jenkins, this is all I've seen
-
Remember what Stone used to call Morandini?
-
Nope, this makes the Correa contract look like an absolute steal. People need to stop being trained to care about years on a contract. You'll never sign anyone good anymore if you care. Huh? Swanson: 7/177 = $25M AAV Correa: 13/350 - $27M AAV Basically the same per year, but half the commitment. Why is that horrible? Because Correa is a lot better?

For anyone who wants to hear the Kenney interview

I am firmly in team trade down just because I think having more spins at the wheel is your best chance at some semblance of certainty when acquiring talent, but if I were drafting there and he's available (and were taking defense), I'd rather have Carter. Just seems interior guys like that are harder to find than good edge guys and would make a huge impact on this defense. Nothing like a guy who can wreck shop and generate pressure from the interior. Fully willing to admit that I don't follow college whatsoever, though, so all I know is what I've seen on Twitter and draft scouting reports. -
I think part of the answer to the above (albeit not a great reason) is that fellow players are less likely to cast aside players of his caliber even after a couple of (really) down years than we as fans are. It's just kind of the nature of him being one of them and having been really good. But maybe I'm way off.
-
It's probably enough to sell to enough dopes making a bus trip from Iowa every year to see a middling 78-82 win team this summer. Sorry, it just reminds me of the 80's and 90s Cubs I really really want it to be Correa, like really, really, but this is an absolutely bonkers [expletive] insane way to characterize a Dansby Swanson signing. That's nothing like the 80s/90s Cubs.
