Should work on your reading comprehension. Was making the simple comparison between Trub and Watson as they were both contenders (in some of our opinions) for the eventual starting job in Chicago. Watson had 3-4 game lead over Trub and despite throwing 19 TDs has had a great share of INts. At least when you compare he and Trub. To me the ability to not turnover the ball is a much more important skill. Huge reason I eventually hated Cutler. Not sure you can make the argument that Will Fuller was ‘all that’ prior to Watson’s arrival. In fact some were wondering if he would be a bust early on. Hopkins on the other hand; yeah pretty good. Lamar Miller hasn’t been spectacular with a pretty pedestrian 3.6 yard average with 426 total run yards. So although they were a ‘playoff team’ you have to remember they are a part of the vaunted AFC South that includes teams like Indy, Jax and Tenn (edit). Some would say ‘they’ got better because of Watson. (By the way, they lost to Indy earlier today). Anyhow my point wasn’t so much a knock on Trub. It was more to compare the two regardless of the players around them. Perhaps Inman will be that beacon of light because of Trubisky? Still gotta see it. I was convinced Deonte Thompson would’ve been that surprising receiver due to the nice chemistry with Trub during the preseason. Alas he was sent away and now is doing pretty decent with Buffalo. If you don’t want to compare the two, don’t. Simple as that.

Right, the point being that Pace essentially paid big money for a guy most predicted he’d be where he is currently. None of us have the football acumen that Pace does though so what do we know?

Isn’t that why Pace signed Glennon to assure we would have a solid backup plan? Then kept Sanchez as the back up to the back up?

To be fair; first game was a blowout loss to JAX (who knew?) which he didn’t start. Then the next was to NE (his first start) by 3...at NE. Second was to KC by 8. And then Seattle by 3 at SEA. Plus they lost JJ Watt and Whitney Mercilus along the way. You’re right that having Tom (who?) Savage back under center isn’t going to help. Remember the first game blowout loss to Jax? He started and played most of that game... This’ll give Trubisky a chance to catch up on games and how well they match up overall in the first year production. Don’t expect that Biscuit will throw an NFL leading 19 TDs (like Watson) but perhaps his efficiency / QBR will end up better overall? Early on Watson was INt prone; something Trubisky has been much better at.

For the moment. With as many sacks as he’s taking it may not be for long before he’s down too. Would help if Loggains could figure out a way to protect him more with rollouts or play action. And if we had drafted Watson, there’s no telling if or when he would have injured himself. Totally different circumstances. Who knew that Minnesota would be out their starting QB for nearly two seasons after a practice injury?

He needs someone like Dave Toub to work with him.

18 years ago?!?!?! Holy smokes how time flies. Seems just like yesterday. God speed Walter!

Forgot about the rumors of Jim Harbaugh. Hmm... http://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/chicago-b...rd-bears-season http://sportsmockery.com/2017/05/jim-harba...ach-bears-2018/

Funny. Because I was curious I thought; ‘wonder what Marc is up to these days’? Figured after a flame out as OC in Baltimore would pretty much finish him. Alas, it appears the CFL is wher he belongs. Trestman was hired as the Toronto Argonauts HC this year. From Wikipedia: “The 2017 Toronto Argonauts season is the 60th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 145th season overall. The Argonauts improved upon their 5–13 record from 2016 with their sixth win after 13 games and clinched a playoff spot following a Hamilton Tiger-Cats loss on October 13, 2017. The team will host their first playoff game since 2013 and will attempt to win their 17th Grey Cup championship.”

I’m gonna say it now but it looks like the Eagles will be in the Super Bowl.

Not what I said (or at least meant). I feel Freeman disgracefully soiled the #50. This after the ‘real 50’ told him he could use it.

I don’t think getting rid of Fox is the answer. Still think the fight and toughness we read about from another player on the Saints was in direct line with what we’ve heard about Fox’s teams in the past. Question is, were they talking about defensive players or offensive players? It’s pretty clear to those of us watching from the couch which squad isn’t performing as well as they could...and why.

It unfortunate that Jerrell had to do this again... while wearing the #50. Puts a smear on one of our former HOFers after he entrusted Freeman to carry on the legacy. It’s one thing being caught once...but twice? I’m just glad that Christian Jones is coming along in his development.

All our best Zach.

So there’s talk Eric Ebron may want out of Detroit. Know he’s a TE but so was Zach Miller. Is he a tradeable option? And...he played at North Carolina...although a few years before Biscuit was there.

Excellent question.

...and a pretty blatant hold on Floyd on the edge...again.

Ok Biscuit. No pressure but let’s see you do your thing.

Challenge probably won’t win but Foxy has had enough of these BS officials.

The guys leg nearly snaps off and he “dropped” the ball. What a total BS call!!!

End of the year for Miller on a spectacular catch.

He did at least let Trubisky roll out...once. Progress?

I’m done with this ‘human joystick’ crap. When you get the ball GO UPFIELD.

Feel the same way. Especially after the opening drive where the D played like the D from last year and early this year. Penalties kill the stop...

Another note I observed about this Inman kid I like. Watched an interview he just gave after joining the team and have to say I’m impressed. Well spoken, very engaged and focused. He was asked several times about his thoughts on leadership and had some impressive perspective considering he now is on a very young team and he himself is a ‘veteran’. One quote he used to illustrate his thought on leadership was from Michael Jordan: ‘When Jordan would step on the court he would tell the rest of the players he would need them to match his intensity’. I gotta say, good choice of quotes and well said. Now go ‘get some’! Welcome to Chicago (new) #17!
