  1. I also totally dont buy his 99% claim.
  2. Yup. Pace's biggest mistake was going with the Fox-Gase combo instead of cutting the dead weight (disclaimer : I liked the choice at the time)
  3. I miss out on so much because he got mad at me over a mildly negative reply to a Tweet of his about lebron's mental toughness nah, the dude has gone off the rails and tweets gibberish I just blame it on him being a millenial.
  4. He retweeted Trubiskys tweet and apparently is going to call him "Rich" Cliff notes because hes made like 50 tweets in the last 18 hours.
  5. Pretty cheesy video, but he better really have been number 1 on all those guys boards to do that trade. Yes but they all said number 1 QB on the board, not necessarily number 1 (or 2) guy on the board. Leads me to believe they were QB or bust in the 1st round which is exactly the type of drafting philosophy Pace has spent 3 years telling us he avoids. Well, yea. I mean, hopefully he was also top 10 overall on everyones board too.

  7. Steelers, Saints, Browns, or Cardinals trading up for QB? i guess it's one of those things that'll be heavily dictated by how the situation plays itself out. Yea, I'm not sure anyone trades up for Kizer, but maybe if he goes within the 1st three we can start the run. Again, I'm not counting on anything.

  9. we only had the pick because we lost a heartbreaker to Jacksonville. True, I guess. What Barkley taketh, Bellamy gave back. Bellamy for GM.
  10. Man someone just reminded me that we had that pick because we beat SF during the season. Thanks a lot Pace/Fox/Barkley
  11. Quick release? Nah just cannons for arms.
  12. Is that from the Gruden tape? He loves to love on QBs. Everything with a block of salt, lol.
  13. The way people have generally used it, its a trait. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Guys starting for 2+ years is how you get a lot of tape and a lot of confidence in your judgement of that tape. I'm not knocking him for only 13 games, I'm doubting highly how this front office could be that in love to make that trade for him with such limited data. Its the Parcell example. He must be a senior He must be a graduate He must be a three-year starter He must have at least 23 wins I read that and it reads like a trait. Anytime that its brought up, people use it like a trait to draw a historical profile to make a prediction on the outcome of the player, and basically say, well only one great QB has ever had so few college starts, so he doesn't meet the profile of franchise QB. What you're describing is a legitimate concern, which is uncertainty. But to the original question, if thats the biggest knock and everyhting else is really positive, are you just obsessing over that one knock? Or is there another big knock on Trubisky outside of that and not running a pro offense (like most college QBs)
  14. At least you were honest about the horrible music. That highlight reel is not all that impressive to me. The first throw was real nice, but then you've got a couple high school caliber throws and a whole bunch of guys were open by 7+ yards passes for his biggest highlights. Damn that guy didn't seem to face many teams that could cover receivers. Maybe this guy turns out to be great, but the problem is they wasted this free agency season spending on a QB plus all the picks when this team needed lots of help elsewhere so now all we can do is sit around for 3 years and hope it works. They didnt miss out on anyhing they could have wanted in FA because of the 15M cap hit or whatever they are taking on Glennon.
  15. 13 starts isn't a trait. 13 starts means there isn't enough data to draw a confident conclusion about his actual traits. The way people have generally used it, its a trait.
  16. I don't think you understand the point. But anyways was Cutlers career worth the average expected value of a 3rd overall, 2 thirds and a 4th? Probably* *obviously the 3rd overall is a bit of a qualifier because you can tie it to a specifc player more so than the others.
  17. I'll say this. The biggest knock seems to be the 13 starts. At what point are you obsessing over one trait in the face of all others? I'm not thrilled, but I'm more in a shrug my shoulders mode than the "lol dumb Bears" attitude.
  18. A couple trade downs sound nice, but I'm not going to bank on it. For the same reason we want to trade down- depth- other teams may not be motivated to give up picks.
  19. There was some rumor that theyve done a lot of homework on RB and could pick one early. Most confirmed names I saw were day 3 guys though.
  20. Also, how many times will pace say "pumped" or "excited" in his presser?
  21. Last talk I heard, he probably won't drop that far.
  22. I mean, for horsefeathers sake, they have eventually do something other than horde picks. My first thought is they just want to make sure they'll have the ammo to go get Darnold. But, they'll probably be picking 1st anyway......So, I have no clue. Haha! Exactly what my thought process was.
  23. Oh wow, didn't even think that. They've definitely got the ammo to do whatever they want. I mean, for fucks sake, they have eventually do something other than horde picks.
  24. Presumably to end up in the horde if picks going to the Bears for Mitchell Trubisky, per Greg Gabriel. I can't imagine what the package would look like if this actually happens. I dunno, but if Kevin Kostner is in the Bears War Room, we're geting a punt returner back in the deal too. #VontaeMackNoMatterWhat
