I'm going to say this doesnt happen. I refuse to even get my hopes up that it happens next week.

Guys, I'm not sure Glennon is even a decent backup QB.

We've gotten pretty lazy over the years when you look at some of these. I blame gifs.

Cobs

Yea there's no way he should have been out there. Honestly, just want him to get healed up.

Holy horsefeathers at the number of meatballs who 100% believe Cooper should be cut from the team.

I'm kinda shocked they saved that much.

Yeah in some ways I feel bad but man that kind of thing just cannot happen. Oh well, we won despite it and I'm sure he learned his lesson. lost in that is the fact that he played a really really really good game. Yea, our coverage in general was good, but Cooper stood out in particular.

How do the Bears ruin my Sunday? 20+ point fantasy swing from the Cohen run being called out to the eventual Howard TD from me to my opponent.

You can't expect to be doing any better than this when you can't throw the ball.

I don't know, does that mean Brian Hoyer will score 40 pts against our D?

I'd also rather go 6-10 with Trubisky than 4-12 with Glennon, which might be just as likely.

I shouldn't have given the collective meatball population so much credit, but it was too funny seeing the same fans bitch about exposing Gentry to waivers two weeks after he had passed through waivers unclaimed and ended up on the practice squad.

Contraction. Make the Milwaukee's and Memphis's feeder leagues. 16 teams should do. I know this will never happen, but it'd be so much better. Don't disagree, the product would be better with fewer teams/condensed talent. This also could be a negotiating ploy by using the ESPN lackeys to gain an upper hand to get more from the players and/or the little markets getting a bigger cut of revenue sharing form the big markets. Oh, for sure, with the contract explosions, you know the owners were gonna eventually cry poor. At the end of the day, the bottom rung players who well outnumber the stars still make out under a big inflated league too, so the owners will get many of the concessions they want.

That's weird because I do not feel that is the assumption at all. In fact, I think the majority assume it is better to play rather than sit. The reasons for Mitch not to play are somewhat unique. 1) He played very little in college and needs to learn the game. 2) His NFL coaches suck. 3) His line is a band-aid on a cast for a prosthetic leg. 4) There are 1.5 skill position players for him to utilize. 5) Pittsburgh is going to kill somebody on Sunday 6) Green Bay is 4 days later and will be a disaster. 7) Tanking is the new trying. . . . . . 8) There is some marginal benefit to actually playing the guy who chose to sign with you as a free agent, in terms of GM goodwill with agents and other vets looking to sign. I agree that is is a unique storm of those things that's contributing to it. I thought there was a chance of "John Fox tries to save his job" that might overcome all that, but I guess not... yet.

A lot is based on a few high profile cases that seemingly validate whichever theory you back (good or bad). Not sure any serious study into the topic exists. I do think there are a few main theories that try to at least ascend simply anecdote; 1. Their confidence ruined. "This guy is gonna be so overwhelmed in the moment. You need to put him in a place to succeed or his confidence will be crushed" I personally find this explanation crap. If he can't handle adversity, he isn't a franchise QB 2. You'll get him killed This is basically the David Carr defense and also used anytime it isn't an all pro line established. I generally find this to be bunk too, though there could be an extreme case where it was applicable, I suppose. 3. He needs to learn an NFL offense/reads and/or mechanics. This is similar to 1 in the sense that you're worried the guy will be overwhelmed by the moment, but rather than his mind, you're worried about his skillset. Learning on the fly, a guy may develop bad habits, relying on whatever his particular skill set is, whether than his cannon for an arm or his legs/escapability, etc. rather than developing solid NFL QB skills that will consistently allow him to pick apart NFL defenses. I find this the most convincing argument in general terms. However, whereas it's probably a concern for say, Watson right now who needs to develop a lot of skills, I am not concerned with this line of thinking on Trubisky from what I've seen- his skill set is already pretty advanced, I dont see the big potential for bad habits to form as he learns on the fly. It also probably helps that he doesn't have one overwhelming physical talent he is going to lean on too much. Plus, at the end of the day, the competition at QB is just too lackluster. After all, with most of the success stories on making a QB wait, they sat behind legitimately good talent.

And then when walking off the field, he slams his helmet in frustration which hits his backup, also injuring him for the season. A giant anvil falls on Trubisky on the sidelines and the "play Trubisky" crowd is validated.

Hey, something fun. Neat.

I literally laughed out loud at the pick 6. Not needing beer to get through a Bears blowout is a nice feeling.

It's time for Trubisky

Cohen wtf.

Whoa talk about locking into a receiver.

Does anyone remember the chili article I posted last year. Basically, Cutler was chilli with beans and Hoyer was beanless chilli. What does that make Glennon?

:lol: JJ Watt annihilating that center.
