  4. Would rather have Bouye Isn't Gilmore the better scheme fit? I know they had interest in Boyue last year, but that was at minimal salary. They have interest this year, reportedly. Look a few posts up.

  7. is 13 drops in 6 games even a relatively high total? i'm thinking it is, but obviously it's not like you just turn them all into completions. Seriously. And if all his passes were more accurate, he would have had a 100% completion percentage. What a find! the tweet is silly enough that it makes me want to question everything he ever says from now on

  9. Can I bet you on that? I'll say they'll pick outside the top 5. We're entering Cleveland Browns territory boys i mean i'm willing to take on all wagers on this

  12. honestly i would try reaching out to someone like arguello or brett or those types on twitter. doesn't seem like we have a ton of people who regularly attend ST here.
  13. i just wish we had at least canned loggains if we weren't going to clean house with fox.
  14. As in the roster? I think it's probably divided. I still think he has plenty of guys on his side in the locker room.
  15. There is no outcome on the bell curve where you can build around Glennon. Theres like 6 QBs in the game like that. The optimistic end is that he is a borderline top 1/3 QB, and can go far with him and a talented D and good supporting cast.... like a prime Flacco. so he can or cannot be elite? I think he can be above average. I think it's fairly likely that he's a better option (as a player - not sure what the calculus is when you bring contracts into the picture) than Cutler next year. Cutler keeps getting hurt, has now hurt his throwing arm (and his throwing hand seems to be a recurring issue now as well), and just had a pretty shitty year when he did play.
  16. Right on. I can read well enough to see that the only two QB names you typed out were Cutler and Glennon. What was your solution again? I'm still trying to figure out what all these letters and spaces mean. Did you come up with an alternate solution in here and I missed it? Does he really need to? He's not the GM. He can dislike a move without having to come up with a better one himself.
  17. Pretty dead on [tweet] [/tweet]
  18. I think there's a non-zero chance he might be. And, if he's not, I don't necessarily think a rookie should just be thrown in, especially if it's a round 2 or later guy. You already qualified it with the worthless "non-zero" designation, why the need to go further with "might". You love to parse words so much. I think Glennon can be a competent starting QB and there's value in holding onto that long term. If we find a guy in the draft who we feel better about, then he's not. But I also think it's a reasonable possibility that Glennon plays well enough that we don't have to look elsewhere going forward. I think the term "long term solution" is kind of worthless. Unless you have one of a handful of elite guys, you're always in kind of "keep this guy around unless you happen upon someone better" mode. Yeah, I think it's conceivable Glennon is our starting QB for 5 years. I also think it's possible we draft someone and hand him the starting job after Glennon starts for 2 years. It all depends on just how well he plays. I'm not into pretending I can scout or predict those things. I'm just saying I think he's a good enough player that it's conceivable.
  19. The issue is, do you see him as your long term solution, and if not will Glennon starting prevent the Bears from acquiring and giving playing time to the guy you do see as long term (most likely via the draft)? I think there's a non-zero chance he might be. And, if he's not, I don't necessarily think a rookie should just be thrown in, especially if it's a round 2 or later guy.
  20. BN is good at aggregating things so I will let Brett handle it from here http://www.bleachernation.com/2017/03/08/so-much-cubs-fun-to-watch-30-teams-in-30-days/
  21. In 2013, Glennon only had Vincent Jackson as a threat to throw to since Mike Williams got hurt 3 games into taking over as a starter. After Jackson, it was a hot pile of garbage. That's not an endorsement, but it could help explain why he gave off such a "game manager" profile. Doug Martin was hurt, also. Yeah. My approval also hinges on what the contract is and with the talk of his market coming down, I'm encouraged. If it ends up being too much of our cap space, I reserve the right to change my mind.
  22. I think i have to say game 6 nlcs was my best game ever attended even though i was at ws game 5. ws game 5 revived hope and was insanely intense. nlcs game 6 was a long party.
  23. yes so that they'd see the entire thread, rather than posting/embedding like 12 tweets Using URL tags will do what you want. thanks...i thought about that for about a half second but was too lazy to try it.
  24. so now we have a QB who can't move without a strong RT to protect him. A+ offseason so far, Pace and friends. Contrary to what many believe, the offensive line, as presently constructed, is far from terrible. It's pretty decent.
