Looks like he lost his balance just enough as he was throwing it.

First one of the year for him

You guys are forgetting one big number. 21 pts. In the 4th. Def did nothing.

Apparently you never been to or live in Indiana. Alabama has the sisters. We got the 2nd/3rd cousins.

While I agree Caleb is most important here, but I also would add Rome/Wright to that and probably Dexter as well.

Only way I see if the deal is done now is Falcons is giving up 2nd/3rd this year or the 2nd this year and a conditional 2nd/3rd next year that would move up 1 round if Falcons make the playoffs. Like Poles knows he can’t get a better deal. Or maybe it’s a Fields + 9th for 8th + ??? type deal?

Sweat contract is going to look good here once Burns, Parsons, Garrett, etc. get their deals in the offseason. He’ll end up more at 8-10 range instead of top 5 for AAV which is where he should be.

True, but I can see Jaylon asking for 18-20 mil/yr which is top 5 money for CB. Some of the #s back him up that he's on that level. Poles probably sees him at 14-15??? Which it’s top 10 $$$ and due to his health/lack of turnovers. Just totally guessing, but it’s a big enough gap.

I think Poles letting Jaylon see if he can get a better offer on an extension from another team so he can either match it or trade him if the # ends up too much. I don’t think Jaylon is going to get what he wants in the end and remains a Bears.

A buddy of mine threw out AJ Green as a comp for MHJ. I’ll take that as well.

Pretty sure if you look up league avg (offensively) from this year and compare it to the 70s, the triple slash is similar (within .010-.050 for OPS depending on which year you’re comparing to). 2023 avg more doubles/HR/K so higher SLG where 70s had more singles for slightly higher AVG. Pretty sure someone can back me up on that and go into more detail, but thawv and B2B aren’t exactly remembering correctly about the 70s overall.

Jimmy Butler is just channeling his inner Dennis Rodman

17+32+80 for 9+53 works if you wanted your 2nd pick back with the Steelers.

Has the org *actually* said this in any meaningful way (or at least the way it's implied: that he was the end of shopping at WR) or did they just acquire a bonafide NFL player at a position they were less talented at than pretty much any team in the league last year? What's the obligation here? The only one of these guys who didn't poop their pants with an open lane to lots of touches on the 2022 Bears was Kmet. This in a league in which the average franchise threw 560+ times (meaning Fields isn't going to limited to 318 passes unless the offense continues to be him and one other guy)! Redundancy at WR...not enough balls to go around for all the pass catchers....these are not things the 2023 Bears have to worry about! Also a reminder that Mooney, the 2022 roster's only competently performing NFL WR, finished last season with an ankle surgery Best case for Fields is something like Hurts. He ended up with 460 pass attempts so we’re talking ~140 more. You’re probably gonna see something like 130 targets Moore/ 100 Mooney/ 90 Claypool/ 70 Kmet. That’s 390 so that means 70 targets left for the rest of the team to hit 460. I don’t think they’ll go over that because of their running game.

Eagles have Brown, Smith, and Watkins...Bills have the underrated Gabriel Davis and McKeznie to go with Diggs...Dolphins just added Berrios to Waddle and Hill...the Brady Bucs ran with Evans, Godwin, and Brown...I'm sure the Saints thought Olave, Thomas, and Landry had a run in them...same for the Jets with Wilson, Davis, and Moore (they've since added Lazzard, Hardman, dropped Moore, and there's still talk of an OBJ or Mike Evans or even drafting Johnston if they don't trade 13 and he falls)....Detroit had a quality NFL WR with some experience, DJ Chark, catch the 4th most passes among WRs on their roster...Arizona's got Hopkins, Brown and Moore...The Browns just traded for Elijah Moore to join Amari Cooper and Peoples-Jones...Raiders have Adams, Meyers, and Renfrow...Kirk, Ridley, and Jones in Jacksonville...It's only going to become more common! Mooney finished the year with an ankle injury and Claypool is coming off an all around bad year in 2022. Sorry but I just can't wrap my head around the pushback against knocking these guys down the depth chart. Fields threw 318 passes to 8 different WRs last year, there's plenty for everyone Are you seriously saying Watkins, Berrios, McKenzie, Elijah Moore, Lazard, Hardman, Rondale Moore are what you consider top 3 WRs, but Mooney and Claypool aren’t?? You realized that almost all those names basically had the same type of season or worse than Claypool’s right? Number wise… And some of them had their “best” year. Like I’m trying to figure out where you are going with this. It’s not a pushback against knocking these guys down the depth. It’s the fact you like completely ignore/underrate Mooney and Claypool, but yet see somebody like Elijah Moore as a better WR. Could you draft a guy like JSN or Johnston or Addison and add more weapon?? Sure, but it’s not a priority since Bears added Moore to the mix. I think you underestimate how much he’ll help the rest of WRs and just how talented Mooney/Claypool really are.
