    Cool, the Cubs did something.
  2. NorthsideAvenger
    Do the Bears sign or draft a Center? For me, getting a C is probably #2 on the priority list behind QB.
  3. NorthsideAvenger
    I agree. Disappointment is definitely the right word. Bears/Packers is a one sided game of ramshambeau. What really annoys is that Eberflus would be the perfect DC for the Bears moving forward but now, there a chance we have to watch him go elsewhere and be that DC.

    You cannot be angry about something you expect. Not angry about losing to a Packers team, I no longer consider a rival. Clean house is needed and McCaskey needs to stay out of that decision.
  5. NorthsideAvenger
    The previous meeting is what I am expecting.
  6. NorthsideAvenger
    Fixed it with my opinion.
  7. NorthsideAvenger
    That's the thing, I like Harrison, Nabors and Odunze and would be perfectly happy with any one of them.
  8. NorthsideAvenger
    Maybe but if the Bears are taking a lower first rd QB that means they also has somebody like Harrison, Jr, etc. That is better than having Williams, alone.
  9. NorthsideAvenger
    Because I'm not sure they are ready to move on from Fields.

    From Fowler/Cronin of ESPN: If Poles anything near what this is suggesting, then you know Poles will be trading the pick. With a few teams desperate for a QB, I don't see a scenario in which the Bears keep the pick.
  11. NorthsideAvenger
    If you are not 100% sure that is that guy, you have to trade the pick. Given that kind of value we are looking at for 1/1, I'd say trade is a no-brainer, imo.

    If I remember correctly that was a Peyton Manning .v. Ryan Leaf debate as to who would go #1. I know the Colts have said, it was always going to be Manning but the public did not know that at the time. Hindsight says the Colts made the right decision. I don't think comparing Caleb Williams to Peyton Manning is fair to Caleb. Peyton was as polished of a QB as there ever was entering draft, Caleb needs some polishing up and I don't trust the Bears to do that properly. If the Bears end up drafting Williams, I'll root for him to succeed but I think I rather follow the 49ers playbook and build up the roster and find a plug and play guy.

    We have not heard new rumors on Hoskins or Bellingers, only rehashing of previous rumors. Makes me wonder if the Cubs signing Cody to 8/200, would be the case of the Cubs actually bidding against themselves (ala Chris Davis/Orioles), given the frozen market of Cody's right now.
  14. NorthsideAvenger
    Touche.
  15. NorthsideAvenger
    I thought he signed a 3 year deal not a 4 year deal. My bad. The fact that there was doubt he would return earlier in the year, tells me, that at the very least his sit will be warm in 2024. As for Williams, I've made it perfectly clear on other boards, I am not high on Williams at all. The fumbles and the size gives me pause. But I'll probably will be wrong, which would not be the first time or the last. I'm trying to get behind picking Williams but damn, passing on Marvin Harrison, Jr to would be passing on Randy Moss again. I much rather trade down than take Caleb Williams.

    Help me understand how drafting a QB with a lame duck coach (if Eberflus indeed remains HC in 2024) is a sane plan? If Flus is fired after 2024, then the new coach would be stuck with a QB he did not draft just like Flus got stuck with Fields. Would it not make more sense to fire Flus this off-season and bring in a new coach, if the plan is to draft a QB?
  17. NorthsideAvenger
    The thing is, I don't see them moving on from Fields. Those who are thinking the Bears will be drafting a QB with the Carolina pick will be disappointed. To me (and this is my opinion), it feels inevitable that Poles will trade the pick. The question is: how far down the draft board does Poles want to go?
  18. NorthsideAvenger
    Today's game is why I am still keen on keeping Fields and trading the pick. I feel like moving on from Fields is going to come back and haunt the Bears.
  19. NorthsideAvenger
    That's why I feared. So the Bears will have a lame duck HC, possibly GM, an OC and a DC. That should end well.
  20. NorthsideAvenger
    I don't see how Getsy is back, imo.
  21. NorthsideAvenger
    Other than Ohtani, have the Cubs even made an offer to any free agent? Real agents not Alfaro, Hudson types.
  22. NorthsideAvenger
    To be fair, most-if not all---MLB players are nincompoop.
  23. NorthsideAvenger
    The Cubs are the only team to not acquire a big leaguer via Free Agency or trade.
  24. NorthsideAvenger
    Pace will definitely hitch his wagon to Fields but what about Ryan Poles? What is he going to do? _____________ I'm not 100% Caleb will be "his(Poles) guy". I still believe Poles will trade the pick. Just because I believe Poles will trade the pick doe not he is keeping Fields, but I hope he does. Under no circumstance do I want Russell Wilson on the Bears.
  25. NorthsideAvenger
    My bad.
