My biggest issue with Jeffery has been health, but at the end of the day, you bite the bullet, but limit years and guarantee if possible. Maybe put in some big incentives?

That steelers helmet to helmet last night is perfect example. People ask, "what are you supposed to do" and the answer is the complete opposite of what that guy did. He brought his arms down and braced himself for purposeful helmet first contact, with a launch. That is just terrible technique but everybody does it because when you hit hard it looks cool. I had to laugh as his teammate came up to him all jacked up over that hit, even after the flag had already been thrown.

I could go either way. Raw has brought up the good point on Allen before, that were effectively in a 2 down lineman set 1/2 the time, so he isn't a full time player. On the other hand, you're maybe less interested in a guy like that playing every down than being a dominant force on select plays when he is in. The steadiness and long life span of a dominant safety on the ither hand has huge appeal. Or if they like a QB enough, I'll be on board and hope for the best too.

Cubs to visit the White House Monday

This I actually believe. -
Went with only the Bryant shersey of the Cubs stuff, but added 4 other shirts, a fitted hat, and socks (NFL,NCAA) for only 60 bucks total. Pretty good deal!
-
I really wanted the charcoal or black lockerroom hoodie, buy apparently those sold out of my sizes pretty quickly.

No 2017 Heyward will double down on 2016 Heyward. Schwarbers knee will implode. Montogmery will be second half Hammel all year and Rizzos tiny face will shrink into itself. Enjoy 2016 guys. You can tell your grandkids on your deathbed about the last time the Cubs won the WS in 2016, 100 years ago (medical advances will keep us all alive that long)
-
You can get a Kris Bryant shersey with the WS patch for just $16. Might have to get that.

Fine. Does the fact this years QB class sucks change your mind? Not sure I agree with that assessment yet. Not if hes really awesone in years 2 and beyond. How many guys in next year class will be in their first year of draft eligibility? Well see what happens with Taylor or other vet options. I don't see any as true long term options. Taylor could be a medium-term option. But there isn't a guy, Taylor included that should preclude you from still drafting a long term QB if theres one you identify as a good pick. I'd ask the same question as above. QBs very frequently go back to school if they eligibility remaining, even when they look like top picks. And some of these guys have less than a season under their belt right now. A ton can change.
-
Letting next years draft class influence your decision this year is silly, IMO.

DeShaun Watson hasnt decided on the Senior Bowl, but will train with former Bears great- Jordan Palmer
-
Seth Maness Surgery doesnt have quite the same ring to it.
-
I cant decide if its a boring logo or just a bad one. Like, are they going to just a blue and white color scheme? Are they dropping what us one of the best helmet decals?

I thought you were making some joke that I didn't understand. Nope, they are really playing in a soccer stadium for 2 years. How could the NFL approve that? Pretty sure there is some sort of requirement to play in a stadium with a minimum capacity more than 30k the last priority the NFL has is butts in seats situations. they don't give a F about it in relation to what matters most. they got a sweetheart stadium situation, they get to flood the LA market, they open up the San Diego market for the next "we're moving" threat. and they get a big relocation fee from spanos. They don't care that the least paid attention to team in the league is going to play in a glorified high school stadium (or downsized high school stadium in some instances). I mean, I think they care to some degree, but short term for relocations or stadium renos, it definitely doesn't matter.

Jordan Howard to Pro Bowl.

Dave Toub passed over again.

Cubs to visit the White House Monday

You answered why earlier. You basically announced yourself in a way that made it clear to most yours wasn't a mind that was changing (though what would be the point after Nov 9 anyways). People stated their opposition. Why would we try to understand your bad opinion rather than just calling it out and moving on? -
it's a 5 man group and their big money guy keeps getting injured. They should be adding to it every draft. They were decent in the mid-2000s and let it stagnate so it declined in a hurry. They've been fairly focused on it and they should remain focused on it as an area for improvement. In the latter rounds, through trade, and free agency, but not with a top pick. Leno was a 7th round pick and he's graded out as average by PFF, that's still a good value. And he'll have to be resigned in a year. Then he may cease to be a value when not on a rookie deal. Its definitely a position to watch, especially because a lot of other needs look like decent bets to fill via FA.

They've been fairly focused on it and they should remain focused on it as an area for improvement. OT just looks like it will be a poor value proposition in both draft and FA, at least as far as impact for next year. Yea they may be able to get a development guy in day 3, but the top of the draft looks weak, as do FA starters. Who knows what happens though. Maybe Cam Robinson drops to 36 and its suddenly a good value proposition even if there are bigger immediate needs.

Cubs to visit the White House Monday
WrigleyField 22 replied to gobigred's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Frankly, I'm surprised by the default unwilllingness to discuss seriously any POV coming from a conservative, but that's probably because I'm a foreigner. I dont know. I've seen plenty of well thought out responses from the"liberal wing" here over the years. The typical response I see though is someone like jehr shut down as soon as facts or POV are presented. It may be an echo chamber, but most opposite view points over the years made that decision before they posted and didnt want to stick around to be the counter point. -
Cubs to visit the White House Monday
WrigleyField 22 replied to gobigred's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No, not really. It's time to get over it. What's dumb is acting like one of those two was a saint who was going to fix all of our problems while the other was a knuckle dragger. They were both terrible candidates. No, this is idiotic. One was a competent if morally questionable candidate while the other is a completely incompetent piece of horsefeathers with nothing resembling a moral compass and unprecedented corruption capabilities. There is no equivalency here. Trump is garbage, Clinton was fine. Stop being an idiot. It was like the choice between a turd sandwich and a toothpaste sandwich. Neither was goimg to fulfill us, yet the choice should have been clear, and at least somewhat resemebled a good thing. -

Eh if there is a sport that is going to have Trump supporters, its baseball. Baseball and football. Football will have a few more college graduates, even if they're fake degrees. Even amongst the white guys that should help tilt the scales a bit. -

A full on soccer/basketball collision may be just as hard on the head as the biggest of football ones, but football adds on a lot of little ones on top of that AND has an ingrained culture about "toughing it out" that just makes it extra reckless in the wrong hands. Probably harder considering there's no pads to "protect" themselves in those sports. It also happens a lot less often and usually you don't see the same person getting concussed over and over. Basketball concussions can be bad too because their cushion when the fall is hardwood instead of grass. You are operating in the rarer occassions there, but theres going to be some risk in any contact sport.
