    Never a bad time to dunk at Gabriel https://twitter.com/ggabefootball/status/1574136114323279872?t=4pw3wEdAyALE5zTluOkpxg&s=19

    I have to say, I was not a fan of him tanking, but if you're gonna do it... This is what you needed to happen.

    Shocker. I'll take Justin Fields and Will Anderson plus another 1st and some other early round picks. I've been clear about my vision for the Bears since before we even drafted fields. I want an elite pocket passing game. Screw defense, screw running the football. If fields is everything we want him to be, he can fetch just as much of a trade haul as the pick can Good thing Fields is fully capable of carrying an elite passing game. Just try and enjoy it when it happens.

    Odds of the Bears getting #1 pick on December 13: about 5% Odds of the Bears getting #1 pick on January 8, heading into the Texans final drive: about 5% Crazy

    Looks like a direct spin off of the One Central project proposal. But everything I've read about that really puts doubt on the viability of the transit hub, which is the entire backbone of the idea. Now just throwing a dome over SF as well. Not gonna happen.

    Jaguars are gonna loook great there. Jk theres no way they find the money, nor should they

    If Bears don't win at least 8 next year, fire Poles

    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)
  15. 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.
  18. WrigleyField 22
    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.
  19. 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?
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Yeah that's some josh mcdaniels horsefeathers Kyle might be a Hairyducked Idiot, but that's a low blow man.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    Yea you're just bored idling, but truthfully only an overconfident idiot GM would do that based on the facts available.
  23. 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?
  24. 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.
