    Enduring the progression of Lauri and Carter Jr. is a terribly frustrating thing to watch this year Somewhere Gar's schadenfreude is off the charts lol (no he still sucks though)
  4. WrigleyField 22
    Lauri just absolutely posterizing Vuc is pain. I'm not bball smart enough to know if Lauri and Zach could have been a thing, but damn.

    Main thing I think Justin needs to work on is the short throw accuracy. Don't know if it's mechanical or the yips, but it's gotta get better. The progression/reads stuff. Yea he needs growth, but it just comes with experience and I think the scheme needs to grow a lot. At most it's 50/50, but I think it may be more scheme than Justin. Supporting cast enhancements will of course help too. So maybe it's like 20/20/60 Justin/teammates/scheme The volume passing is basically no concern because it's at the very bottom of the totem pole as a result of literally everything else.

    Even if you don't get a *haul* you gotta at least match the JJ chart. 9+39 = 1850 #1 = 3000 #2 = 2600 So depending how you value the future first (different conventions used) and depending on if the Bears are 1st or 2nd, you're somewhere between a low third round or high second rounder away still.

    Well Saints just restructured Michael Thomas's contract in a sure sign that they're prepping to release him. I don't know what his market is gonna look like because of health. But he's probably worth kicking the tires on at least, which would give Fields a great safety net target, if healthy.
  8. WrigleyField 22
    I mean at 9 it's hard to count on any one guy being there. It's light on the Jimmy Johnson chart. And trades to 1/2 for a QB usually blow that value chart up. They'd honestly need to throw in the '25 first or multiple Rd 2/3 picks to close the value. They should be able to do better, or just use the pick.

    I was so confused as to what that slash line was supposed to represent. Who the hell was shooting all the FTA, Shaq?
  10. WrigleyField 22
    Yeah that's some josh mcdaniels horsefeathers Kyle might be a Hairyducked Idiot, but that's a low blow man.
  11. WrigleyField 22
    Yea you're just bored idling, but truthfully only an overconfident idiot GM would do that based on the facts available.
  12. WrigleyField 22
    More specifically that number 1 pick is ~$40M over 4 years. Justin is like 5.6 over the next 2 then has the option year, which will be whatever the QB transition tag in the 3rd year, maybe 35M by that point? So for same gross cost but one year less, but Fields years likely is the more productive window, even if Young ends up as a hit. Some huge rookie cost advantage?
  13. WrigleyField 22
    Dependent on what they could get for Fields, I guess, but drafting Young probably puts them in the same spot - poor cast around young QB. If you somehow werent sold on Fields you'd still be better continuing to build around him and it's not a long term commitment until a later point, maybe in 24 which could be a very good QB class or in later years were you can continue to build a bse, helped hopefully with a trade down now. Basically if you're willing to go Young over Field as a GM you have way too much trust in your own scouting convictions. This wouldn't be ARI dumping Rosen after a year for Murray. The fresh rookie deal is a *huge* advantage Two year difference, on a more expensive rookie contract though, and you have to actually be prepared to you know USE that rookie contract. Now insert uncertainty of rookie QB verse evaluating what we know we have in Fields. This is one of those "too cute" moments. Maybe if it was a generational guy the arguement would be stronger, but that's not Young. Hell it might not even be Young. Plenty of chatter about his draft mates still. They'd have to nail the right one.

    I guess the only other consideration is that cancelation wasn't a given. It's possible that NFL was really pushing to squeeze in that game which would have been bad for both CIN and BUF no matter what
  16. WrigleyField 22
    In exchange for having to do a silly coin toss I guess CIN then gets benefit of a possible neutral site AFC champ game, but I think they should have also gotten the benefit of a coin toss in a possible KC division matchup. I think any three of those things would have been mutually exclusive results as well. Not sure if teams were negotiating for this outcome or it was all league internal debates only... Maybe we'll get the full story one day. It was tweeted it passed, would love to see the vote breakdown.
  17. WrigleyField 22
    Do you have that handy? If that's true that a policy already exists (which makes sense it would since they probably gamed this with covid), just go with it. It is *basically* what they are doing, except for the unnecessary permutations around home field. Yea so really what CIN loses is they have to go through with a coin toss* they shouldn't have to. So yea the coin toss part is my least favorite part of this for sure. But the Bengal fans I'm arguing with on Twitter seem more mad about divisional and possible bye seeding which they wouldn't get anyways. * only if they lose to Baltimore. If they win that part is moot.

    Least dumb of all the scenarios that got thrown out. Mixon posted the league rules around game cancellations, saying those should simply be followed here. It's a cancelled game and there's a game cancellation policy. Horrible situation surrounding the cancellation but I'm not sure why the existing policy isn't used. Do you have that handy? If that's true that a policy already exists (which makes sense it would since they probably gamed this with covid), just go with it.

    Hi raw, I can't pay you, but I'll put the Bears in the Super Bowl next season.

    Giants WR corps. and the others? Stop moving the goal posts! How many do you want?
  22. WrigleyField 22
    name 1 Giants WR corps.
  23. WrigleyField 22
    There were definitely changes to play calling, though to be fair, the play calling during the hot stretch basically ran Fields into the ground, culminating in his injury. So they need to figure out how to do more non-Fields things. There's definitely still legit questions about Getsy. The run game has been schemed wonderfully, but the pass game weakness isn't all personnel. Coaching needs to improve there. Personnel needs improvement. And Fields needs to clean stuff up. All of those are fair statements, but I think Fields is the least of those problems. Put another way Theres OLines as bad, if not worse than the Bears Theres WR corps as bad, if not worse than the Bears There's teams with scheme questions There's teams with young QBs I'm not sure any team matches the combined issues of the Bears. And Fields biggest crime is probably being young and inaccurate in the short game. They can aid him in the former short term and I hope the latter is fixable.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Yea, for sure. The most likely outcome may still be a solidly top 15 guy, but who might fluctuate between frustratingly outside of top 10 QBs to occassionally pushing for MVP recognition. Definitely can't crown him as a perennial AP QB, but that ceiling does exist. Just a very far away from seriously talking about that ceiling as a reality. And frankly still a question if this horsefeathers show of an offense and season hampered his chances at the ceiling. But he showed enough that anyone watching the games should believe he has the talent. The tough part is actually growing that and getting more consistent and covering the holes.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Interesting hypothetical, since it's not from the Bears fan side. I think this is ultimately shooting a little low for the Bears (Pittman is good but prob not a true #1, and Leonard would bring a high floor with him, but you're kind of overpaying for certainty over upside) As a reference, Colts themselves went from 3 to 6 in 2018 and got 37, 49, and a 2019 2nd. So you have to basically say Pittman and Leonard are together worth 2 high second plus a bit more (5->1 should cost more than 6->3) Sub in DeBuckner for Leonard and look to add another mod round pick, and I think you're closer (if the goal is to get players instead of picks).
