Have you seen this Bears D? Give a team 45 seconds and the go ahead drive lol
-
Is it a Thursday? I'm all thrown off. Ugly ass football
-
No, 20 screens was the only possibly game plan against this D I heard.
-
Bad pick, but oh well Offense, show up please. Gonna dominate TO battle and lose again aren't they?
-

Blackhawks 2023-24 Season - Bedard luck this year
WrigleyField 22 replied to bukie's topic in Other Sports
Would be hilarious if Hawks won lotto again and we could do the probability discussion again lol -
Are you confusing Polian with Irsay?
-
Slashes not acceptable. Man up and put the full ranking
-
Anyways, I created a Twitter poll and Trestman is up early 74-26 lol. Bland take it is!
-
The big thing with Trestman and I'm not sure if it was his, Emerys, McCaskeys, or a collective idea, was just trying to squeeze every ounce out of that D (with a coach who never ran the system) rather than a clean break. Clean break that D and bring in young players buying into a fresh system with a DC who actually knew it and maybe that side of the ball isn't as bad. Trestman weirdness still has a shelf life, but I also recall a bunch of things fans/media freaked out about at the time that actually have been somewhat commonplace by other coaches since then (I.e. Rotating captains). At least some of his weirdness was different, but ultimately fine.
-
Is this a hot take or mild take? Trestman > Eberflus
-
Not both, just 1 in the top 2 (from Carolina)
-
I mean, we really only have to look back to two recent QB examples to see the relatively low downside risk and high upside risk of picking up the option if he's good enough even to be a one year QB. Daniel Jones playing well enough without a 5th year option to "force" NYG into a much bigger, and oops, much worse deal. Wentz being basically twice failed and pretty clearly cooked, still getting flipped a second time on a 28M salary for roughly a 3rd/4th Rd net value. Or more accurately 13% of the salary cap whereas a 5th year Fields will be under 9% of the cap. You also have until May to make the decision, so in all likelihood the new team is making that call, but not picking it up for any team planning to start him in 2024 would be a stupid afraid-to-fail decision.

Doesn't even hit the 60 minute mark? Pffft -
Gut check odds: Fields + Top 2 pick share QB room : 2% Fields as bridge QB to non top 2 QB b/c Carolina plays their pick out of top spot : 8% Top 2 pick at QB and Fields traded away for top 50 pick or equivalent value : 45% Top 3 pick at QB and Fields traded away for 3rd or worse : 45% (for point of reference Sam Darnold went for basically high 3rd cumulative pick value after his third year in league. across 3 picks, two of them being deferred picks to the following year)
-
I mean he can request away, but if he plays well enough that Bears want to see another year out of him they are probably also doing so with confidence to put the 5th year tag on him. This hypothetical isn't likely at all. What's the most likely scenario is trading Fields for best pick and maybe he does well enough that said pick is top 40.

🤣 May be the head coaches running defensive schemes that haven't innovated in a decade too -
I still love Fields, but as far as I could possibly go re: the draft with a top 2 pick is still picking one of Williams or Maye and setting up a Brees/Rivers or Aikman/Walsh scenario with Fields+pick . And Fields really has to ball out to get there.

Yea there's defintiely no cap argument against it. And while marginally so, a standard bridge QB or decent backup money is more money than Fields hit would be anyways. So it really would only be a question of talent and locker room dynamics, not one of any cap issue. -

I don't know, but I found the lowest for 2023 and rofl Edit - Fields is 2nd highest with Daniel Jones being the highest for 2023 -

Okay so per earlier discussion on sacks. I wanted to compare him to another high sack QB, so Wilson is always my go to. Wilson sack rates by down is 6.7%, 7.3% 12.3%. Compared to 12% / 13% / 14.9% for Fields. Ironically Fields also has his highest passer rating on first downs. But even if he was merely Wilson-ian sack rate on downs 1+2 and the same exact QB on 3rd down, he'd have saved 32 sacks over his career (31 starts) Offset some possible positive plays from scrambles, less negative plays from fumbles and measure the EPA change from downs like 2nd and 10 v 2nd and 17... And it's probably a pretty big net impact Edit - some other high sack QBs, like Burrow show that 3rd down spike (and Burrow has specifically spoke to thar attitude toward 3rd downs). Others like Daniel Jones or Deshaun Watson are more flat like Fields.
