    10 of 21 for 125 YARDS........... WTF!!!

    This pick + trade will go down as the Sam Bowie/MJ version of NFL Drafts. You will read about this trade and this selection everytime you read an article at/before the draft talking about the biggest busts and draft mistakes ever. If it wasn't so bad for the cap, I'd say just cut him to just...

    It starts and ends with Ryan Pace

    A lot of fans judge GMs the same way the judge players (on field results) but with GMs, that's a really bad and dangerous way to do things. GMs obviously don't play; they select the guys who do and the coaches who coach them. The "thing" you want to judge your GM on is his thought process and...

    Trade Mack!

    They need a pass rush, yes. And trading Mack for a single first round pick only saves you money to go spend most of it to replace what Mack was giving you. Which carries the risk of the unknown in both the draft pick and FA in signing said players. Not sure how you think that's a solution.

    Trade Mack!

    Yes you have - Terrell Suggs is still going strong with a similar build and size to Mack and he's 37 and torn an achilles. Robert Mathis had 19.5 sacks, led the league at the age of 32. DeMarcus Ware was 10 sacks age 32 for a full season, 7.5 sacks in 10 games the next year. James Harrison...

    Trade Mack!

    This is stupid. Mack is 28. Whatever timeline you have for when you want to win if you think you're not "win now", he's still going to be highly impactful and then you'll just have to try and find someone who comes even close to his on field production.

    We drafted Adam shaheen over George kittle

    To be fair to the record, the Bears traded down to get Shaheen. The problem I have with the pick is you should always be evaluating a player for who they are, not who they're like. And to me, that's the thing about Shaheen. It's also striking that he's significantly heavier and slower so I have...

    Should the Bears have been in Josh Gordon?

    Simple question. I hope this doesn't turn into a Mitch bash but just a conversation to be had since the Bears passed on him in waivers and he's now a Seahawk.

    We drafted Adam shaheen over George kittle

    Kittle to me never made sense in the moment. He was fast, could block, and was massively under utilized at a B1G school. Didn't think he'd be this but was shocked to see Jake Butt go over him and I'm a Michigan fan.

    Pineiro takes a shot at coaching staff

    Like to point this out: Nagy has now lost 9 games in the regular+post season and in 3 of them (@ Miami, Philly, LAC) he lost the game in which he played incredibly conservatively the moment he felt "comfortable" about a FG that would win the game, sat on the field position, refused to try for...

    Pineiro takes a shot at coaching staff

    QB wins are based on who is the QB of "record" and not just who starts for the obvious issues that it would be highly stupid to credit Trubisky a QB win for a game he played 3 snaps in + scored 0 points vs Daniel playing the rest of the game and scoring 16 points.
  12. DanTown

    Trubisky would literally never be able to do this

    Watson's 5 picks - On 3&8, would have been 46 yards of field position but for Hopkins late hit on the return - 4&1 at the 40 into the end zone where Fuller falls down - 3&G from the 15, gave Hopkins a jump ball and he never found ball, one handed pick - Late to the sideline, inaccurate - Hit the...

    Trade News

    Any idea that relies on bringing Mitchell back to compete me is DOA. There's absolutely no reason to do that unless you're committing to him being the starter and developing him. You can't develop two QBs at once and keeping Mitchell also gives you nothing for him in a trade, as little as that...

    Would it be an insane idea if we-3-6 or 3-7 to bring Bray up from the practice squad and...

    No. Simply because Tyler Bray should not be counted on in any scenario going forward (I don't care how well he plays the final 5-7 games in this hypo) so the only thing that could happen is the Bears think they found some long last answer at the position, go forward with some Bray v Trubisky...
