    I was just typing that Williams will need to get over his belief the he can no-sell tackles when it costs him a fumble.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    Really not impressed with Penix's accuracy, seen several throws that just weren't NFL caliber.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    I would be thoroughly unsurprised if we let him walk. We've invested two 2nd-round picks in CB

    What's weird is how much of it is guaranteed. That's a *ton* of guaranteed money. Gary may have gotten more overall, but only $35m was guaranteed.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'll take the under. He's never finished a season top 10 in sacks.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Sweat gets a 4-year extension worth $98m, $73m gtd. Massive overpay IMO

    I had a *hell* of a time convincing bears fans that what pace was doing was going to lead us to a blowup around 2020. Not so much here, but in more populated bears places on the internet, "shut up we just won the division and he got us Khalil Mack.". I don't blame everything on poles, but there are some very concerning patterns emerging that could easily doom the team just as surely as pace's anti-value approach did. Poles has shown absolutely batpoop crazy positional priorities. We are "building through the draft" but we consistently undervalue the most important positions in the game. QB, LT and DE are the three most important positions in the game and through two drafts we've a pair of fifth round picks on them. But we've got endless picks for mediocre DBs. The way he's poured resources into the WR position and it still isn't that good long-term is definitely Pace-ian, as was paying a second-round pick for the privilege of overpaying a good but not great de in his decline contract. And we are *still* in QB hell. We don't have one, and until you have one, you won't have long-term sustained success. I guess we are hoping either our pick or Carolina's nets us Williams or maye, because it not we will be counting on a tier of prospect with a pretty low hit rate.

    I understand the impulse, but once you start talking qb3-5 in a draft, the odds you stay in QB hell goes up considerably
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    We are gonna find a way to come out of the draft with neither maye nor Williams and then watch as at least one of them joins stroud and young as better QBs than we cycle through in our perpetual QB hell

    Nothing too surprising here. Chargers were fooling him a lot by disguising coverage looks, standard anti-rookie game plan. Could have easily had 4 picks. They started jumping routes a bit and he occasionally beat it (that one third down throw to Moore was so good) but not enough to stop teams from doing it. Longer throws are erratic. The one that Jones dropped was a severe underthrow. I still kinda like the potential as a long-term, long-shot project. I'm not sorry he's gonna get at least one more start to see how he responds to such a bad game.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    That would be an ...interesting choice. If they were 3-5 I think you could make a thin case for hoping to get lucky and beat all the bad teams and get to 9-8, but I don't see how that's even thinly feasible from here And it's especially bad because even if you think that Bagent has some upside, which I do, you should still be drafting a QB next year so there's no point in playing yourself out of drafting a good one.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't know if we should count first snap equally when we already know this season is lost and we didn't then
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    Moore was 25.9 when the trade was made. I would lean towards the pick on both scenarios, but the first one is at least close.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    Given that NFL primes are fairly short, that's not insignificant. If sweat was Moore's age with Moore's contract situation, I wouldn't dislike the trade
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    You're comparing current age and not age at times of trade
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    I would describe his contract as significantly below market value for a wr of his caliber. That's what you're paying for, the difference. When you're paying for the privilege of giving a guy his entire free agent contract, there's no difference.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Did DJ Moore get a contract extension and I missed it?
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    If I had a nickel for every time Ryan poles created a roster hole with absolutely terrible draft priorities, ignored that hole for an entire offseason, then overpayed to fix that hole by buying at the trade deadline when not in contention, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Maybe we should have used a high pick on edge the last two years instead of burning them in mediocre or worse WRs and DBs
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    If Moore had been 27 with half a year of contract left, I wouldn't have wanted him either
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Because the NFL is a meat grinder on human bodies that tends to turn good plays into less good players faster than fans notice the players are good
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    I can live with that.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    I am pretty much always against paying for a guy twice. Paying draft capital for the privilege of giving him his FA contract almost never turns out well.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    27 years old and an fa at the end of the season. Jesus that's so bad. That's the worst thing poles has done yet
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    A second round pick for a 27 year old. Dafuq?
