    They are 13th in baseball in wRC+ and 10th in wOBA. In the second half that becomes 4th in wRC+ and 5th in wOBA.

    As a 6'2" person, I've never really considered it short. As a 6' tall person, horsefeathers you tall bastards This is like the best humble brag I've ever seen.
  13. David
    so trubisky and rodgers are both listed at 6'2" trubisky has looked a little short to me (not drew brees short), but I wonder if that's because of how much i've seen him standing next to mike glennon (and how tall jay was), but i've never really thought rodgers looked especially short. i wonder if trubisky is being listed more generously than rodgers or if my perception is just off.
  14. David
    you have a lot of the same opinions as me on this would you rather trubisky plays, plays well, defense plays well and we pull off 8-8 or 9-7 or something, enough to be entertaining and fun but also save fox's job, or maybe win 4 fewer games to get fox fired? (i didn't say a wildest dreams best case of something like 10+ wins and playoffs because that answer is pretty obvious no matter how much we hate fox)

    the excitable irrational side of me wants him to start from game 1 and thinks we could be surprisingly good if he hits with this defense (with the one horsefeathers thing being fox keeps his job if that happens) the boring conservative side of me wants glennon to play OK the rest of preseason, then play OK enough to lose the job after trubisky gets a few weeks (maybe 4-5) to watch and then maybe glennon has enough value to get traded for a mid round pick. who am i kidding, start him week 1 I don't see any value in giving Glennon starts. This season isn't about wins. Same with Kizer vs Osweiler in Cleveland. Just start Kizer, see if he's good, and if he sucks, draft a different QB next year. my inclination to give glennon starts would only be to give trubisky a bit more nfl practice time and a minimal opportunity to watch a bit while also letting glennon serve as the sacrificial lamb against the hardest part of our schedule. but, again, that's not what i really want to happen. trubisky starting week 1 makes the season much more interesting and fun, so hopefully he can do it on merit (and not just fox trying to save his job).

    And, yeah, it's not that he just played "well." He dominated the 2nd and 3rd stringers like someone that much better than them would have to. Plenty of guys go in there against those guys and don't look nearly as good (recent examples - Jared Goff looked like absolute ass last year and Paxton Lynch the other night was just OK). It was like he was playing a video game in rookie mode. And remember, he was playing with 2nd and 3rd stringers too (not just against is what I mean). It doesn't mean he's great, but it's what a very good QB is supposed to look like against that level of competition.

    It's funny. A day or two ago, I noticed a post you made a little after the draft where you didn't expect anyone from the draft to play much in 2017 (or something to that effect). I wasn't going to reply to it to gotcha you or anything, it just read kind of funny with the way the story seems to be going on those guys. Trubisky is probably going to start at some point, maybe by the bye (if not sooner), and Shaheen, Cohen, and Jackson are all almost certain to see a ton of snaps.
  19. David
    you know that guy who hates fun and tries to keep other people from having it? don't be that guy if someone is dumb enough to not understand the lens through which you'd look at how trubisky played last night, that's on them. nobody is putting him in the hall of fame or even the starting role yet and the talk about the game doesn't need to be qualified that way. There's a difference between watching and going "hey, that was fun" and "let me post every article and graphic about it". Your'e just setting yourself up for disappointment Well thanks for protecting me from that. Pretty sure nobody is forcing you to read any of it. Sorry for posting Bears content in the Bears thread though.

    Those throwbacks are cool. So are the powder blue ones (as an alternate). Didn't love the alternate CUBS ones from a couple years ago but they were still better than our regular roads. BRING BACK THE CUBA JERSEYS (except with blue numbers)
