Eh most owners are some flavor of suck, but even the less sucky ones you're just hoping get lucky
-
The idea if Flus being retained... AND GETSY? Whew, lordy.
-
Yep, a series of polls from today. Now depending on that guy and his takes its possible his follower sample is skewed, but still.
-
Anyways it seems far more likely that the "fan appeasing" move is keeping Justin and not moving on. That's the decision we should give a ton more scrutiny to (random series of Twitter polls I came across)
-
If Poles believes Williams and Maye are elite QB prospects and passes on them due some flowery view of the natural progression of the team (whatever the horsefeathers people want to think that means) , fire him into the sun. Fields just hasn't shown enough to pass up that opportunity. He's not a bad QB, but the clock has struck midnight. Maybe his biggest flaws can still be improved. And if Carolina plays the pick into slot 3 we get to have the fun decision of MHJ and then a choose between Fields + more help or QB3. But if the season ended today, I don't see how they don't move on.
-
We can work ourselves into a pretzel to create a scenario where these guys aren't elite QB prospects, but we have every reason to believe they are widely seen as such and imaging Poles might go against the grain, why?
-
I genuinely still like Fields, but that would be so dumb.
-
Took em 50 extra plays tbf.
-
Re: Arizona and their odds, do we also have a schedule of Call of Duty events the rest of the year?
-
Better QB and coaching than NE though.
-
To be clear, I have nothing to hide Mr FBI agent.
-
Raw, you can't write those words out, FBI is gonna be watching nsbb now lol
-
Yea I remember other leagues that had position specific limits (usually was the catholic school leagues), but no limit on the upper end. We just had a upper limit and if you were over that you had to get bumped up a level or if you were too young to get bumped up you couldn't play in the league at all (we were Pop Warner affiliate).

Blackhawks 2023-24 Season - Bedard luck this year

I mean, I believe it more than ever now. -
Man I just miss the simplicity of youth football scheming. My favorite was my dad's plan to rotate in the B OL (because there was a snap minimum) and put them all in as a unit with me and two other good first unit OL as a T formation backs to do the blocking for the other one. It was a grind it out plan for like the 12 minimum snaps but he also split out the fastest guy wide and if he felt the D was cheating, we pulled the QB boot with three man protection and a one man route concept deep lol. Worked to perfection exactly once.
-
I bet you could get a decent GM consensus that the Bear's should move on AND that one of a few teams (Atl, for one) should be the ones to jump on him for a reasonable trade price.
-
They would have caught them sleeping on the sixth I bet.
-
Fields status for 2024 is some very large number (98% ?) based upon Carolina (and I guess Arizona, New England). I'm not taking a Kyle-ian stake on Fields, but the dream is gone. Only an unlikely Hollywood script miracle revives it.

Blackhawks 2023-24 Season - Bedard luck this year

Look, maybe it wasn't Bedards mom, but someone obviously got fucked. -
Well we don't have much history to go on. Teams used to be pretty liberal with it cuz it was only injury guaranteed and you only lost out on CFA status if you cut a guy later (assuming health). We're a few years in on the fully guaranteed version and teams probably overcorrected on it imo. There's plenty of good data showing how movable QBs are and how expensive even small extensions are. Granted, GMs are known to be unnecessarily conservative. So they probably won't change their thinking, but they should. I'd probably say eff it but it's be a 51/49 call and it's have to be informed decision based on real trade talks. Ideally their hand isn't forced and he's traded early - well before the deadline. But even for like a 3rd rounder, it'd be silly for trading team to not take that 23M option at that cost imo (unless they could get him on a Love-like extension, which, maybe they could). There shouldn't be a big cross section of willing to trade decent capital but unwilling to make a 23M option on him.
-
I actually think the ~23M of guarantees for Fields option year is overstated. Even in the worst downside scenario, it's kind of meh on downside risk to me. The cap is primed to get two big increases based on all we know. Luckily any trade should happen well before the deadline so it's the trading teams to choose, but if it extended beyond that time I would really maybe consider throwing that option on there and figuring it won't deter his trade value and could increase it.
-
I'm only gonna care about wins if it saves Flus. And if any number of wins makes the difference, not sure Warren and/or Poles are the guys anyways and none of it matters for a long while. So go ahead and win Bears. It will be a good test on if you're worth my time for the next decade.
-
Maybe some lazy read of ten yard + charted throws and not realizing "the sticks" can include things like down+3 to go. So probably was trying to get at a point about adot, which adot already gives you. Need some super nerdy next Gen tracking Stat that combines adot, openness, and down+distance to give a comprehensive view of adot in context of situation.

Sounds legit (is this all very dumb, yes, but also very fun. Dumb and fun = good. As long as we're not doing dumb and boring) -

Every home team has an obligation to play Stacy's mom for next few weeks when Hawks visit. I don't write the rules.
