In fairness I think you could debate Waddle being better than Mooney, that’s really dependent on which side of the fence you sit. Saying that though if you think Waddle is a legit #2 on a “good team” then it stands to reason that Mooney is as well since statistically there’s really not a big...

So you’re thinking the Bears are competing for a playoff spot this year then? That’s very optimistic of you…

In fairness he said one would be the punter so really only 4. The second rounders seem highly rated so definite starters. Just need 2 of the remaining 8 to stick. O-Line was atrocious last year and outside of Whitehair and Patrick the remaining spots are available for whoever can take them...

Love your approach to this. Think it definitely helps to take a step back and reflect when people aren’t all built up on emotions. I agree with pretty much all of what you’ve said. Ultimately I think Poles has played this draft well. He’s filled out the secondary with day one starters, traded...

OP has literally just made up a load of false claims to attempt to bash Poles 😂 Poles hasn’t had a perfect start, that much is obvious but this thread is really reaching 😂

The most interesting part about the EJ chat wasn’t even the “clean slate” part but that the coach talked a bit about what he sees as EJ’s strengths and how he plans to utilize him. I know there was mention about his ability on blitzes which was surprising given Desai’s reluctance to use safeties...

Like others have said if Watson is available I’d look at taking him. Quick and has good size, potential to be a real handful with the right coaching.

Expecting a rough season since a lot of the roster is being blown up so we can start from scratch. The number of 1 year contracts Poles has given out shows that next offseason is when he’s going to start investing heavily. With that in mind I’d be happy with an obvious on field identity and...

After several seasons of Nagy’s stubbornness with his inept scheming and system, it’s nice to hear coaches talk about the importance of players over scheme. Also excited about the talk of flexibility and a willingness to adapt to player’s strengths and weaknesses. Seems like a coaching staff...

How Eberflus deals with Eddie Jackson will really demonstrate if we’ve a head coach who is all talk or if he genuinely will hold players accountable. I know some people look at the whole talk of the organizational culture and accountability as pretty cliché but after several seasons of all talk...

Honestly I think this is my favorite take. Especially if you manage to tie in the auction prices to the amount of cap space a team has available. Think that could also become a good way for rookies to get more game time for development purposes. The teams with more cap space (and likely less...

If he doesn’t then you don’t sign him back. Simple. I did state that in my post.

End of the day it’s the new coach and GMs decision. If they want to keep him on then I’d understand that decision and support it. If they decide to let him go then my response would be the same. What I would observe though is AR has stated how much he loves the city it seems he wants to stay...

If he’s genuinely Poles’ guy then so be it and best of luck to him. Doing a quick read through Colts forum though and they don’t seem particularly bothered about him moving on. Also a fair amount of talk about how often their defense was getting roasted in the 4th quarter… so should fit in...

If you’re a true fan you don’t become “done” with a team. You follow them through thick and thin regardless of how successful they’re presently doing, and then when they succeed it feels that much more special. You take it how it comes because even though the lows feel extremely low the highs...
