    Read it wrong. Quinn HC and DC. Wow that's soooooo dumb. Too bad we don't play them next year. Maybe, maybe not. It could just means he's taking over play calling, but will be able to keep the same number of defensive staff for weekly coordinator preparation roles.
  2. WrigleyField 22
    They're probably not the worst team in the WC round, but they're fine to play. It's the NFL and the Bears may find a way to break my heart but I'm not worried.
  3. WrigleyField 22
    Okay I know I'm a year away from seeing this prediction, but feeling pretty good about this now, haha. Self bump. Plus everyone can go mock anyone who doubted the Mack trade (if there were any).
  4. WrigleyField 22
    Gase in Cleveland would be fun. I'm sure he'd do well in Ari or NY with those young QBs though.
  5. WrigleyField 22
    One of the rumblings I heard was that he couldn't grasp enough of the offense to be an effective 4th WR because he couldn't play multiple spots. So he was basically out of a role if he couldn't do that. That's not really on his health, either. I've been moved on from him for a long time. I'm sure hell get decent interest from a WR needy team though just based on his measurables.

    That was a lot prettier of a play from that angle. [tweet] [/tweet]
  7. WrigleyField 22
    Yup. For instance, only a QB rating of 85.9, but seemingly executed the game plan to a T, just ended up with three close runs to score TDs. And the run game and clock management (37 to 23 Top margin) was the conservative route to success yesterday.

    Seemed pretty obvious to me that the Bears wanted to play Philly in the playoffs. Otherwise......... I don’t think it had to do with Philly per se. More, beat the Vikings now so you don’t have to beat them later. They just wanted more Club Dub to ring in the new year.
  9. WrigleyField 22
    Well he doesn't yet. The GB and Cle rumors to this point could be lazy sportswriter speculation.
  10. WrigleyField 22
    With as many openings as their are, I think Gase has a decent shot of latching on somewhere as HC right away.
  11. WrigleyField 22
    So just to track openings and confirmed interviews/requests or Rumored candidates Cleveland; Interviews: Freddie Kitchens (current interim OC) Brian Flores (NE LB coach/ de facto DC) Rumored: Josh McDaniels Mike McCarthy Green Bay: Interviews: Chuck Pagano Jim Caldwell Rumored: Josh McDaniels Pat Fitzgerald Arizona; Interviews: Zac Taylor (Rams QB coach) Rumored: Cincinnati; Interviews: Rumored: Hue Jackson Vance Joseph Denver; Interviews: Vic Fangio Mike Mumchak Brian Flores Rumored: Mike McCarthy Chuck Pagano Miami; Interviews: Eric Bieniemy (Kansas OC) Vic Fangio Mike Munchak Brian Flores Rumored: Rex Ryan New York Jets; Interviews: Eric Bieniemy Kris Richard (DAL passing coordinator) Rumored: Jim Harbaugh Tampa; Interviews: Eric Bieniemy Rumored:

    I saw this as a rumor last night. Is this for real though?
  13. WrigleyField 22
    Pythagoreum wins for playoffs teams. Chiefs 10.7 Chargers 10.4 Patriots 10.7 Texans 10.2 Ravens 10.8 Colts 10.1 Saints 11.2 Rams 10.9 Bears 11.5 Cowboys 8.4 Seahawks 9.9 Eagles 8.5

    And a backup linebacker is gonna get it [expletive].
  15. WrigleyField 22
    Loves giving them Defensive player scores lol.
  16. WrigleyField 22
    Believe Bowles and Nagy have some history, so would seemingly be a natural fit.
  17. WrigleyField 22
    They have to bring in some serious competition for him, and at that point would just be a sunk cost if someone out performs him. I’d rather just have a better kicker and deal with the money. Well 2019 Parkey will probably be better than 2018 Parkey too. But spending much money on the K spot would be ill advised. It doesn't cost that much guaranteed to go and bring in a decent competitor for him.
  18. WrigleyField 22
    He's got 5 million in dead cap next year, he'll be back barring some sort of playoff nightmare. They have to bring in some serious competition for him, and at that point would just be a sunk cost if someone out performs him.
  19. WrigleyField 22
    Eagles do have to beat Redskins if the Vikings lose, which, granted seems like a given, but still...
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Do my idea and make it an early entry only system then. College players enter as FA, same as an international FA would. I'd absolutely love it if it was every team for themselves, sign who you want type of thing. But, there's literally zero chance they go that direction. My magic wand says otherwise.
  21. WrigleyField 22
    It also REALLY devalues High School players draft position. No team is taking those guys anywhere remotely early, unless they're a Griffey type talent. You're not drafting guys you think you're getting 2-3 years out of, at best. When the alternative is 4-5 years of major league time out of college players. Do my idea and make it an early entry only system then. College players enter as FA, same as an international FA would.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    8 would be okay if it was from the time they were drafted at age 18. They'd hit FA at 26. Basically 4 minor league control years and 4 major league control years. Minor ammendment to my prior proposal. As soon as a player enters onto the 40 man, they are effectively treated as major leaguers and enter the rookie year salary + arbitration process; basically one rookie year scale + 4 arbitration years + final restricted right FA/arbitration year, followed by full unencumbered FA. Teams still get those 3 option years on the 40 man, which would obviously hurt a player's arbitration earnings, but not their FA timeline. Means a player would hit FA as soon as 23 or as late as 28 (assuming they were never exposed to Rule 5 or DFA).

    I have a hard time accepting the Rose nostalgia. I guess I just can't see past the situation with his accused rape and every time I think of him that comes to mind. From a pure basketball sense, it is nice to see though. not just the rape but just how freaking dumb he came across. Yep. On RealGM forums people are super nostalgic on him in a weird way, and the few that questioned that love seemed to get written off since he was found innocent by a jury, but actual legal issues aside you have his own words in which he comes off at best super dumb if not super icky.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Interesting. The positional teir thing sounds like a bit of a headache for guys who play multiple positions or pitchers who swing between starting and reliving their first few years. Better to just let the market decide if a guy is a reliever or starter once he's ready to hit FA.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Is 200 attempts what the league uses as the threshold for rate based records?
