    Totally agreed on where it's headed. I think you'll still see the HOF preseason game and maybe they'll establish some other games along those vibes, where a team might expect to have a full preseason game every 2-3 years, but otherwise do the idea about televising the joint practice sessions. From a media/streaming standpoint they can create a lot of content around something like that.

    Some starters may play a couple series week 3, especially the line. But I think anyone with the slightest ailment, anyone over 30, and very likely Fields won't be in that group who plays.

    Put Robert Quinn on CTE alert? https://www.bleachernation.com/bears/2023/08/18/robert-quinn-arrested/

    Only replying since it's obvious you were setting this up

    I feel like the future (or present) is joint practices to get good preason reps. Does he even play the one token series in week 3? If he does, it's either as fan service or purely a pregame ritual /dress rehearsal exercise.

    This place is as nsbb-y as ever I see.

    Physically Remarkable Otherwise Bad

    r/relationship_advice: My (40F) BF (42M) won't stop thinking about a previous fling of his named Shay from 11 years ago and it's straining our relationship.

    This is pretty tame considering they're reigning worst team in the league and written by a Vikes fan.
  11. WrigleyField 22
    Not sure, but we luckily have a pretty vibrant Bears base in the other Sports subforum here.

    Other than IMB, who do we really need to fear disagreeing with?

    Can i say fullback now?
  14. WrigleyField 22
    Using Expos players shouldnt be a valid answer IMO 😆

    So my pop culture scouting report is Moore is Luis Mendoza. I guess Bedard must be Banks then

    Yea, even for the one year Babe Ruth did this, 1917, he didn't have enough qualified ABs. I But certainly the fluky dominant AL pitcher going 1 for 2 is one way to get that. my big baseball stat ned/savant friend gave me Bob Lemon and Wes Ferrell off the cuff too.
  17. WrigleyField 22
    your best non Babe Ruth answer for lower right corner today...

    don't most 19 year olds suck at shooting and it's way more about projection?
  19. WrigleyField 22
    Well calling it early at least. Is this a possible way to get an injury exemption too?
  20. WrigleyField 22
    I can't avoid tunnel thought on this. Whoever the first player on a team I think of I can't move my mind off them, even if they're not applicable at all.

    I'm as awful as I thought I'd be. But all 5 players I got right were former Cubs, even for the Rangers column. And yes that means I missed ARod for Mariners/Rangers 🤣

    There was a good article about Eagles and Roseman earlier this offseason. He talked about how many people, even in the org just automatically assumed they needed this big blow up after his sabbatical where Kelley had complete control for that one year. And again after 2020. And both times, it was basically "lol no" Anyways my next burner Twitter account should be "Windows are a myth". Everyone is awful at most of it, so the best bet is to be trying as often as possible IMO.

    Cleveland spent around a bad QB in Baker and then just rolled all that aggressiveness into building around Watson (well see now with a full season of Watson how that works out). But the absolutely worst case is you are rolling right into another cheap QB and that's your opportunity to reset

    (also I haven't checked Jack's numbers, though he's very good, so I'm sure they're good). But that leaves Bears $24M short right now on cash floor while every other team is above it already. There's no competetive advantage to spending that little. Even with rollover of cap space, it's way past dimished returns and it can actually be difficult to "catch up" that fast with some yet to be determined big spending splurge.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Spending big around a cheap QB is exactly what you should do. Just cuz Trubisky was a flop, didn't make that a bad plan. Frankly the Bears were never in real cap trouble or cap hell. Covid crunch was a major complication (that every team had to manage to some extent). And you can obviously pick apartment individual decisions on players, but there was not a overspending problem in the Pace regime. Flat out, no qualifiers. Zero reason to look like this for a third straight year.
