  1. http://wgnradio.com/2017/05/01/hoges-10-bears-things-final-thoughts-conclusions-on-a-wild-bears-draft/
  2. I was so confused by that blog saying "A Bears Jaye Howard reunion could help both parties" like i somehow completely missed a player we had at some point
  3. Again like you said, this is with respect to the level of competition, but he looks Devin Hester like in his elusiveness, acceleration, ability to use his blockers and ability to cut back at the perfect time. I actually thought the same but didn't want to say such a silly thing
  4. i know these college highlights against this competition are entirely meaningless, but this is still fun to watch
  5. I posted this the other day, but this guy looked at it a few different ways. http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2017/4/28/15470238/2017-nfl-draft-mitch-trubisky-trade-nobody-got-ripped-off-chicago-bears-value-mock The 99% its better to move down guy again lol? Anyways, very possibly, SF and Chi both win the trade, and the loser is Cle, or someone else who maybe was trying to trade up for Trubisky. If no one else was seriously trying to trade up for Trubisky, then Chi doesn't necessarily quite lose the trade, but did obviously overpay. Not that it's of any consequence, but I feel like you're taking that number and that statement a little too literally lol
  6. Who basically sounds about as smart as the average Score caller in this sequence from the Peter King article. Liking Trubisky enough to pick him at three, but drawing the line at the trade is a weird line to draw to me. I'm a fan of valuing mid round picks and not throwing them around willy nilly, but everything has an exception and trying to acquire a franchise QB is one of them. It was an insurance policy, and if you think a QB is worthy a top 3 pick, its a valuable commodity and the insurance premium is going to be high.

  7. yeah, i'm trying hard not to get too excited about almora's walk rate and power bc it is difficult to process how valuable he could be with those two things (and adding that player to this roster is also hard to comprehend)
  8. Pace was on with Mike & Mike http://www.espn.com/espnradio/play?id=19287522

  10. [tweet] [/tweet] Can't Gar just be fired instead plz?

  12. Yes, Pace survives. That gives them an easy out on Fox and Pace gets to hire his non-big name coach. A big name coach isn't taking that job anyway, so Pace will take some young guy (can't believe I saw Pat Fitzgerald's name this weekend), and those two together will get 2018 and 2019 to win, and then 2020 will be a fresh start with a whole new GM/HC combo and first round QB. Trubisky would have to look awful for them to move on after this year. Or the QB would have to be Peyton Manning reincarnate. Odds are they trade down from that spot and collect picks to give them WR, DE, OT and DB help, since they will need lots of help at all those spots after next year. But my guess is they will be more like pick 5-8 and we'll have no real feel for Trubisky. They may benefit from a run on QBs early in the draft and could trade down a little bit from there to do the same strategy. Yeah, Trubisky would have to be a Jared Goff like disaster for it to even be a consideration. I'd say the scenario would play out exactly like you say here. Ideally (barring some crazy surprise playoff contention scenario), Glennon plays well enough to bring back maybe a 2, and we have a high enough pick that we can trade back and benefit from the QB richness. Would be tough for those two to coincide to that extent, admittedly.
  13. I feel like if this FO had the number one pick every year they'd screw it up maybe 1 out of 10 times
  14. someone, i think olney, just called gregorius one of the yankees' two best players
  15. schwarber was halfway to 3rd when the play at the plate happened no?
  16. i doubt he is at all he is a big weirdo and eats this stuff up didn't he jump in to KB's mvp thing when they streamed from his house
  17. as much as i hated joe morgan and the things he said, i kinda miss the miller/morgan snb booth for nostalgia reasons
  18. in the years we got the two "lesser" first rounders from the tank years, almora and happ, we were super interested in correa and benintendi lol theo/mcleod are kinda good
