  1. What a Time to be a Bears Fan! . . .

    Girth Brooks? Howie Long didn't need a porn name.
  2. Sick? kinda

    I can't say I was on-board early on with the Claypool trade and moving on from Smith and Montgomery,but I am now.......BIG TIME! Did Poles make the best two trades in franchise history with Moore and Sweat? Two of the best ever for sure. Extended Sweat too. Wright looks to be a 'JIm Dandy' of a...
  3. Williams, the Media, and expectations

    I think a rookie QB making the jump is a valid explanation for their 1st year to be fair.........an "excuse" would be that QB's front office openly gutting their team for a tank job in his 2nd year.....no?
  4. 40 days….

    He joined a team that went 3-13 the prior year,the Texans went 10-7 in Stroud's 64% 4,108yd 23 TD 5 INT 100.8 QB rating rookie season. Williams is much more highly touted and will be joining a better roster than Stroud. Expectations should be very high IMO. Trubisky was worthless when the team...
  5. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    The Bears' current QB situation is definitely more divisive than my examples and probably more so than any in I recall in Chicago and I go a fair ways back. It's become downright tribal,not everyone who wants Williams is a Fields hater and not everyone who wants Fields and the trade return is a...
  6. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    Gotta hand it to Poles on that re-do.....big time!
  7. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    I like the sound of that and hope to hell you're right. I'm really in neither camp on this ....or both,I guess. I could live with another year of JF on an improved roster and the return from trading the #1 on one hand,and on the other,who can argue with drafting a can't miss,sure thing at QB...
  8. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    It's real easy to foget that Fields joined an 8-8 team in disarray as a rook with a lame-duck HC who reportedly wouldn't even speak to his young QB the year before. His 2nd season saw a new HC and OC and a FO gutting their team for a tank season,yet the record still reflected on him. JF's 3rd...
  9. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    Is it then fair to assume that Caleb Williams will be joining a Bears team that has all the tools,weapons and offensive personnel necessary for a young QB to succeed?
  10. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    I recall a stunned city back when Bobby Hull signed with the WHA,the Hawks lost in the SCF the following year,most of us thought Hull woulda put that team over the top. The outrage in Chicago was also palpable when Greg Maddux signed with the Braves after a 20-11 2.18 Cy Young season back in...
  11. “I think there are people in the organization that would like to see him stay”

    Gotta give Ryan a ton of credit,his defense was intimidating and overwhelming but so was the personnel on that squad, Four HoF'ers,Marshall,'Momma's Boy',Fencik,Gayle and Frazier,even 'The Fridge' was runnin' RB's down from behind as a 308lb rook. I'll give 'Iron Mike' his due too,the team was...
  12. Justin Fields is coming back

    That's definitely a LOT of money for an unproven QB but no long term commitment has it's own advantage and I believe he could be 'franchised' for two years afterward too if a team saw enough progress but still wanted to avoid the long term deal. Even that amount is relative to be fair when top...
  13. Stock Market/Investing

    I liked NVDA as much as the next guy back in '16-17' when I started adding to my portfolio in earnest, mostly due to their CEO Huang but you can't buy em all. You also can't be too heavy in one segment,so AMD was the 'horse' I bet on,also mostly due to their visionary CEO Lisa Sue........quite...
  14. Caleb Williams wears dress for GQ

    The 'Worm' played the game like an animal,he'd tear your fucking arm off for a rebound and he could also cover anybody in the league........at 6'6". He definitely had his peculiarities though,I can still remember a young 'Shack' attempting to post Rodman up in the '96' ECF. 'Shack' didn't know...
  15. Here’s something absolutely no one is talking about…

    Maybe not "overwhelming evidence"......... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/everything-we-thought-and-more-chicago-bears-3-biggest-acquisitions-of-2023-all-paid-big-dividends/ar-AA1naWEj?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=7ea2474cd45447e3835584087712afb8&ei=54 But,maybe the two best Chicago Bears'...
