  1. Chase Claypool is Off the Team, told to stay home all week.

    Chase should have inactive after game 1. He should not be inactive for calling out coaches. Coaches are so incompetent that they would not reconsider decision to go for it on 4th down and said they will make the same call in the future. Note to coaching staff: You are not the smartest guys...
  2. Lets go QB Gurus ..we know u could have made it happen

    I am sick of all the hype. During the offseason I heard Justin has made great progress in his quarterback skills. Maybe because he attended quarterback school. Another player attended TE school. Last week a coach said he would or could not comment on dc's departure but did say the team is...
  3. Coaching? Even opponents think so

    Might as well give it a shot. Nothing else has worked. Last coach couldn't figure out the whys. This coach looks at a lot of tape but can't get results. Thanks for your comment. I needed a good laugh to tonight.
  4. On a scale of QB1 to start Tyson Bagent where are you?

    1. Follow Packers model and let Bagent sit on bench at least 1 year. 2. Let Justin take a beating until he learns to play faster/smarter. 3. Get new quarterback next year on a rookie contract. 4. Play backups in blowout games to get experience and avoid injury. 5. Finally, thank Matt Nagy...
  5. Claypool: No One Loafs Better

    Exactly. Management needs to send a message to the players that this is not acceptable. At least bench him for several games to hurt him in a contract year. This game gave me the s.h.i.t.s.!
  6. What affect does Geno Smith and Daniel Jones mega deals have on the Bears and the #1 overall pick?

    Let's pretend that Cleveland has offered to trade Watson back to Houston for the 2nd pick of the draft straight up(no financial or draft compensation are involved in the trade). The only condition is Houston would be responsible for the 230 million guaranteed contract that was given to Watson...
  7. What affect does Geno Smith and Daniel Jones mega deals have on the Bears and the #1 overall pick?

    Same thing can be said if you overpay a 2nd tier quarterback and he does not work out.
  8. What affect does Geno Smith and Daniel Jones mega deals have on the Bears and the #1 overall pick?

    I disagree. I think it adds value to the top draft picks. If I were a gm I would rather role the dice and get a quarterback on a rookie deal than pay a 2nd tier quarterback top dollar.
  9. Bears are going to trade for lamar.

    This trade would be a huge mistake. If they had the trade capital I could see Baltimore trying to acquire Fields and dumping Jackson and his salary demands on another team (but not the Bears).
  10. Poles in win win spot w QB

    Well said. I think all Bears fans hope they have finally found a franchise quarterback. Getting an extra 1st round pick in 2024 is probably the safe choice. The years left on a rookie contract is an important consideration. How many teams have salary cap issues due to the going rate for a...
  11. With the First overall pick the Chicago Bears...(First pick discussion only)

    Great point. Maybe we should start a new thread about injuries? Why so many injuries? Is it the conditioning coach, hits principle, too many practices, too intense practices, etc. Should we add an 's' before the h in HITS?
  12. Poles in win win spot w QB

    If there is a Mahomes type of quarterback available in this draft, I am suggesting the Bears do their due diligence. What would you do if someone offers 2 first round draft picks for Fields?
  13. Poles in win win spot w QB

    You can read message boards and find different views on Fields ability to read defenses. I would rather get his coach's opinion than a fan's. I don't follow college football but I assume both quarterbacks had offensive lines and receivers with similar levels of talent at Ohio State. This is a...
  14. Poles in win win spot w QB

    Has anyone heard any comments from the coaches at Ohio State? If I was Poles I would ask for their input on the potential of Fields vs. that of Stroud.
  15. Titans looking at former Bears coach for OC

    This would be entertaining. I wonder how much money they will waste trying to find a quarterback that is a good fit for his system.
