We Got The Whole 9

Similar to Brady, right? His counting stats look so far out of reach for anyone. At 44 years old he threw for 5300 yards and 43 TDs, and went out with a (obligatory reminder the Bears have never had one such season) 4600 yard season and 25 TDs. You literally have to throw for 90K yards and 650 TDs to pass him. But his efficiency stats are also just incredible; a 97 rating with a 3:1 TD:INT. Oh and 7 rings. What LeBron is doing is a mindbender. I have little doubt he could be an MVP top 10 at age 50 if he just kept playing. His physical prowess is unbelievable.

Cam Thomas has gone off the deep end crazy since the trade. 134 points in 3 games. Yet another late 1st rounder that is turning out to be a potential superstar. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk

Despite the tons of money the Bears have to spend, I still expect them to look for value in free agency. That's not to say they will bargain shop like last year. I explained this somewhere else, but my example is this. Da'Ron Payne, he's probably going to get 22Mil AAV on the open market. 2nd highest paid DT makes 21AAV, so I'd guess at 25, he gets a touch more. But as long as Aaron Donald is around, he'll be the 2nd highest paid DT and the best case scenario is his play is that of the 2nd best DT in the league. And based on his salary (and others right below him) we know that level of DT play is worth about 20-22Mil per year. Basically, there's 0 chance he provides surplus value over his cost because you're already paying him tops at his position. A guy like Dre'Mont Jones from Denver, may cost like 15Mil/year, but he could give you top 10-15 DT level play on the field, which may be worth like 16-18Mil, so essentially you could get a surplus in value because there is a chance (no matter how slight) that he outperforms his salary in any given year. So, I still think Poles will spend a bunch of money (again he has to). But I do think he will be smart about it. He will look for ascending players, who are still young, potentially improving, and have been successful in smaller roles. And honestly, this is how all teams should look at adding in free agency, if they aren't surely one of the top 5 contenders missing singular pieces here and there. I understand your point and agree to an extent but not totally. If there's a player that is 30 but they play a pivotal position like 3T, there's still potential there for a transformative addition and a player that will make all the ancillary pieces better. Add them whenever they are available, I say. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk

Nobody in the draft is worth passing up on the trade from 1 IMO. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk

That 98 yard Henne drive was massive Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk

Did Horton crack their 100 that just missed the cut

But Wink did horsefeathers my girl

Lol wow Huntley has played really well tonight but that was a brutal giveaway. Wasn't even close to breaking the plain.

Sign Chafin for more LH help. The fit is perfect.

You've pretty much been lying on the "PCA is actually overrated guys" hill for the last year Do you even have him in your top 5?

I was so confused as to what that slash line was supposed to represent. Who the hell was shooting all the FTA, Shaq? I was legit hoping the FT% would fall below other 2. Wonder if a team has ever managed that lol

Bulls shot 57/59/59 tonight and beat the Sixers for the first time since 2019 Zach and Vuc had huge games

I'm sure some of you guys can answer, what happens if we don't reach the salary floor?

How much of this should fall on Donovan? He's always talking about how they need to coach and prepare their guys better but it's a recurring theme that they come out flat and discombobulated against shitty teams.

ESB gets 1.25m

Bears are losing this game by double digits even if MIN put all PS players out there

Dupe

He has to spend ~140m. It's going to be an epic off-season. I mean he might suck, and not all of his moves are going to work out, but it'll still be pretty fun when we are the it team making several splash moves in FA and hopefully the coup de grace comes with a haul of future picks in a trade-back.

Correct me if Im wrong but can't they go over now and dump salary by the TDL to get back under?

This team is simply not good enough to beat Minnesota. 2nd pick is a lock.

Zach has really cut down on the TOs lately. Just 11 in his last 7 games. Not trying to force the action as much. Maintaining that with the hyper efficiency makes for quite a player.

Zach is going crazy tonight and yet we could very well sandwich a win vs the Bucks with losses to last place teams. Defense is straight up trash.

How many starters do you guys think we need at minimum? Seems like an entire DL, which is such a massive task. Sanborn works for me, but we could probably stand to upgrade from Morrow in the LB unit. Our corners might be good behind a suitable DL. I maybe wouldn't prioritize safety but if a clear upgrade is available then I'm sure we'll take a swing. Probably RB, WR, and 3 OL, needed for the offense. Basically need 10 new starters?
