  1. I don't know if I agree that Kmet is purely a Y. Based on alignment, I thought traditional TE=Y and TE who is used in the slot, backfield, etc. is a "move" or "Z." He may not line up in the backfield, but I've seen him in the slot. Either way, he's a #1 TE and the Bears should fill other holes before spending early draft capital on another pass-catching TE, whatever the categorization.
  2. Yeah, if that's true, it's yet another red flag for Caleb Williams. Also, I completely agree about Mahomes. If he were drafted by the Bears, he would have been ruined.
  3. I basically manufactured the trades to suit my needs, focus on offense, and support Fields. Best WR Best OC Best OG Insurance QB Remainder are high quality, good output players from big football schools. At the end I was just being funny and maneuvering to get the former players' sons.
  4. Years and years have gone by with so many of these "once in a lifetime" guys. The platitudes and hyperbole happens every year about this guy and that guy, but it's always a guess. Far too many fail, and it's pure 50/50 crap shoot at best. And we've also seen far too many guys who legitimately could have been HoFers in terms of their talent, but were failed by the drafting franchise through either a lack of coaching support or offensive teammate support. I guess the point I'm making is that putting Caleb Williams behind the Bears' OL, with the Bears' offensive weapons, is basically throwing a sheep to wolves yet again...and setting the franchise back another 3-4 years.
  5. I've watched video, read reports, and no matter what I do I still think, "Yeah, but North Carolina and Trubisky." It's like that one liquor that you got absolutely shit-faced to in college, and even though someone offers it to you years later, the mere thought of it makes you want to vomit.
  6. If Washington is willing to give up the #2, and TWO OTHER FIRST ROUND PICKS, then Poles would be insane to turn that down. That's foundation building, and the Bears would be able to build a stacked roster instead of a QB on a team full of scrubs.
  7. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison, but I can't believe any Bears fan is a Drake May guy after Trubisky.
  8. I hate all drafts that grab Bowers. A second pass catching TE is a luxury, and there are actual spots of need right now. Yeah, yeah, Gronk and Hernandez, but otherwise it’s not realistic. Two “move” TEs just hasn’t successfully happened as far as I can recall otherwise. I’d rather see someone like Brevyn Spann-Ford from Minnesota in round 5.
  9. This one would be pretty amazing. maybe a little scary to throw a rookie QB behind a bunch of OL inexperience, but I think Fautanu and JPJ start immediately. And Jordan Morgan fights for a spot as well.
  10. Right? Call me sexist, but I just can’t trust her opinion in a male dominated sport. I don’t think she is REALLY getting the scoop. She’s getting platitudes and courtesy, but that’s it.
  11. I traded and traded again. If the Bears are going with Williams, then I don't want to hear any of this BS about WRs not getting open. Both Mitchell and McConkey are basically unguardable half the game. Both of them excel at route running, and their highlights are full of them just randomly being wide open somehow. Add in SVP, who I think is the best overall Center in the draft, and ZZ who would have gone much earlier if not for injury, and that's a lot of help for the offense and rookie QB. Defensive starters are just gravy.
  12. Honestly, that's why I was such a fan of Martz and Crowton. They were offensive minds. Some say they were crazy, but they at least tried to step outside the box and shock the defense. Remember that Martz was short-lived under Lovie because the Tackles where Omi-Fail and Jamarcus Webb (LOL), and instead of getting receivers they thought they'd take Devin Hester and turn him into one. As for Crowton, who could forget the Cade McNown draft (hated it), which turned into the Matthews-Miller-McNown law firm of mediocrity. If either of them had the support of the organization or the HC, maybe they would have succeeded.

    LOL. This is easy. Everyone under JJ can be cut without losing a second of sleep.

    Free Agency 2024

    I’m this order: C - Connor Williams WR2 - Calvin Ridley LT - Tyron Smith
  15. Preach the gospel, brother. Preach it. I’m so sick of this base cover-2 concept as a bend-but-don’t-break starting point because eventually it gets shredded by good QBs with decent TTT, or decent QBs with good TTT. I know there are numerous times over the years I’ve remarked while watching that the Bears D was making some journeyman QB into a HOFer. Who remembers when TO got like 46 receptions for a gazillion yards in one game and Jeff Garcia looked like Tom Brady on Ritalin?
  16. Honestly, I’d be 100% OK with that. Make an immediate run for the SB.
  17. I’m glad others have made that impossible from a cap perspective, because I would hate it for two reasons. 1. It would put Herbert in a less than envious position with multiple glaring holes on offense, same as Fields. 2. It would neuter trade potential for Fields.
  18. Those reports are BS. His arm is very strong. I personally witnessed him throw a 60ish yd bomb in HS - from about the 10 to past opposite 40 - as I ran as fast as I could to keep up with the eventual 90yd TD.
  19. That’s basically what I see when watching the Williams highlights. Everyone raves on the results but ignores the fact that he has time to tie his shoes every other play. Easy to look great under those conditions, which has basically been my stance for the past 30yrs as a Bears fan. Give a QB more time and any of them that make the NFL are good enough to put up good to great stats.
  20. Trade the house. Stockpile picks. Build the OL. Add a WR. And then draft Nix. He’s got an above average ability in every passing category. Great arm and pocket presence, excellent at reading the defense, has a pedigree, pretty mobile, short delivery, and great footwork.
  21. Precisely. I’m a math guy and rolling the dice on one pick just doesn’t make sense unless you know 100% he’s legit. Which, of course, you don’t know. That kind of philosophy is how people go broke in real life. The Bears should approach the draft with a large cap mutual fund philosophy. Lots of good, fairly safe (i.e. dominant player from large, football heavy school with good measurables) is better than putting all your money on a roulette wheel.
  22. THANK YOU! I remember thinking that when I watched the game, but I already let that slip in memory. I can't tell you how many friends of mine have called or texted to tell me they hope the Bears screw up, pick Williams, restart the cycle, and stay the perpetually bad Chicago Bears team. That's exactly how it feels. Starting over and over and over again. We may as well have kept Lovie Smith and accepted 9-7 every year.
  23. I guess I'll be the one who says I watched it and wouldn't take him #1 for the Bears. 1. Arm Strength - Great. He will make some throws others can't. But he won't have the time to load up and throw the varying routes. Shown in this video. 2. Pocket Presence - I watched the highlights, and in one play he had a full ten seconds from snap to throw. Hilarious. Justin Fields has likely NEVER had ten seconds in a single play with the Bears. He'll need pocket presence if he comes to the Bears. 3. Playing in Rhythm - Wow, this one sounds just like Fields coming out of college. Everything is different with timing and plays when under pressure and the window collapses. Watch the highlight, and just about all the "doesn't play on time"-plays are when pressured. Imagine that. The guy even says Williams passes up the throw/play he should make, hunting for the bigger play while going through progressions. The Bears would be better off trading down, stock-piling picks, and building a team like the Cowboys did with the Herschel Walker trade.
