exactly - it isnt rocket science. Remember the route DJ quit on causing an interception in the GB game, at the left front corner of the end zone?

Regardless of knowing or not, we know three things. 1). DJ inexplicably slowed down. 2). Caleb expected to be elsewhere. 3). Tom Waddle said, the cardinal sin for any receiver is to let a deep safety get under you in a route. If you are trying to identify poop, you don't start by tasting...

Im not sure what youre saying. Ill try to take them one at a time. First here, you seem to be saying that giving full effort half the time is a good thing? Im not saying DJ never gave full effort, Im saying he quit on routes a lot, and that it caused interceptions. And not just the one - remember the Green Bay game in the left front corner of the end zone? Someone who doesnt give full effort all the time is a problem for the culture. Rome also has some hard work to do. He has a LOT of drops. Hes also on a rookie contract and still learning. DJ is getting $28.5M a year. He should be an example to inspire Rome to do better. So this is just nonsense. When you look at JT's analysis, he clearly knows a lot about routes and offensive schemes. I dont always agree with him, but I think he is right a lot. Also, I didnt say "because JT says this it must be true" LOL I have my own eyes, and I see what goes on. What I said was that it was SO bad that JT called it "F*ck You Effort" thats not just bad, its awful. But even if JT never existed, DJ is still half assing it way too much and costing this team. So i think you do understand. It feels like you just want to have some kind of loyalty for DJ. Thats nice in the real world, youd probably make an excellent friend or neighbor. But this is football, and if you want to win, then you gotta do whats necessary to build a winning team. What I dont understand is why people seem to get emotional and want to defend these players. They arent hurting from our comments. Theyre all millionaires. They deserve to be judged harshly for their play on the field. Thats how you build a winning team. With accountability - not participation trophies?

I think this may be in and of itself a huge factor. Especially as you mention the longevity of how long DJ has played and managed to stay (more or less) healthy throughout. And when you compare it to the performances thus far to players like Burden and Odunze; yeah that’s telling. Could it not be said that either of these guys were ‘taking plays off’ while being on the bench to recover from their injuries? Let’s not forget Odunze let a key pass fly right through his hands on a sure TD play against the Rams . Why was that? Too much time on the sidelines? I will say this about DJ. I have to ask how much productivity does he really have left? He’s put it out there, no doubt, but to what extent? And is he more valuable now as a trade piece or continuing to play for the Bears? As far as some stats to analyze I wanted to see, among the Bears receivers, was the most productive . By and large Loveland came out on top. And that was with him not really being involved for the front 1/4 of the season. But DJ was favored in a few other stats. One of those being he had the second most receiving yards, he also led the team in average yards per game and average yards per catch. I believe after Burden he was also # 2 at YAC. https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/chicago-bears-team-stats?season=2025&seasonType=reg&category=receiving

Yet we can just as easily forget all the other handsfuls of plays where he gave full effort (and then some). Again, we don’t know who really messed up the play. A lot of “experts” assume it was DJ. Sounds like Rome may have been complicit too? According to JT anyhow? By the by, I’m convinced if either one of us decided to apply ourselves just a little bit more in football we could’ve accomplished as much in life as has O’Sullivan. Starting a YouTube channel isn’t all that complicated. And although not a fan of just discarding a player because it’s what everyone wants, I realize that DJ is near the end of his shelf life (playing wise) and is now a valuable commodity towards maybe one younger (and probably unproven) defensive player. I still remember the days when people used to take pride in career players staying with their teams. The league has changed over time.

It's only been a week since our last game and it feels like it was a month ago to me by all the people responding to the game.

Is this a future Bear?

All of my buddies and family are just like me. It's terrible...🤣

I can't get enough of this stuff.

Did that really hurt your feelings? Or are you pretending so you can fight? Im not interested.

there are many ways to create cap space. I predict a good amount of turnover on the Defense.

This is our QB, how lucky are we when the best QB ever is in envy. We got BJ and Caleb, I don't care who anyone else is on the team. We are going to a SB in the next two years.

I threw that out there but I never thought they would sign the big 3 in the OL that doesn't mean I wasn't elated over those players. You wanted a 1st round LT and I had no problem with Ozzy in the second. You didn't like that pick at the time. The problem between last year and this year is we have no money. They will overhaul it but they have to sign Ss and another LB ( maybe D Jackson) before they add the needed DL.. They will restructure some contracts and cut Edmunds (?) , then maybe trade some players if needed. Poles did the drafting not Flus but will get BJ what he needs. BJ is the dominate football guy in the room but it's not a dictatorship. We might have different opinions on who they want but I trust BJs perspective to get the right players. As much need as the DL has , I think LT is on the table for the first pick. No Free agents of value out there. I think DT is a bigger need that edge. We have Booker, Sweat, Dayo and Turner. We only have 2 DTs in the roster. In DJ's scheme the pressure up the middle puts the DEs in better position because the QB has to bail from the pocket.

I didn't know that.

This guy is okay but it amazes me he has 155,000 followers. He has some good ideas, don't agree with everything.

I'm one of those but never had a problem with anything you had to say. You remain me of a good friend that I had , we would come to blows and then do shots of tequila and forget about it.

That's what I'm talking about. When I talk shit, I'm just busting balls, like with my buddies. Some folks are waayyyy too sensitive.

I wish all the members lived in the same city so we could sit in the bar and argue, then buy each other a beer. Like the good old days before the internet.

I'll remember when I describe an opinion of yours, as simplistic and childish, it's a football term and not personal. This has nothing to do about DJ's feelings it's about disagreeing with the quitter label. You always take it somewhere it never was. Trading for assets and cap space is a different conversation than a player over seeing him as a quitter. You always try to mix conversations. You are always the player that punched first and then played innocent when the other guy punches back. This is a football analogy you will understand.

Never heard the term ( slurping his jock) before. We must have grown up in a different culture. You are correct, I brought it over here after you mentioned trading DJ,. I didn't blame anybody was just trying to move back to the post topic.

Im saying the IDEA of worrying about a players feelings and being a fan boy is childish and stupid. That the real decisions are hard and are about money and production. Thats football. The idea that what we write here affects GMs desire to trade for DJ Moore for example is dumb. That IDEA is dumb. If we cant say that, then we cant say anything. Im talking about football, youre trying to keep this fight alive AGAIN. You are not DJ Moore, so when I say he takes plays off, that is allowed on a Bears board. DJ doesnt need you to emotionally protect him. and LOL at derogatory language. dont be such a baby. simplistic and childish are descriptors. They are words with meaning and they convey my opinion. Someone needs to tell YOU to cut it out.
