I hope he balls out but I dont think he will ever be a tier 1 LT, if he makes top 12 I would be excited. Will that be enough for BJ, dont know that but if he plays well enough for the offense to function is all I care about.

I've been playing FF from before the internet where you had to go to bars to make leagues up. Consistent winners in FF are not about being lucky, you're very smart at this and trying to be humble isnt going to work. Injuries affect every team during the year. This one friend is in 22 FF money drafts. He doesnt win every league but is in the money placing in 1/3 his leagues. That's not about luck most of the time, its about being smart.

Obviously someone will start. I remember you stated , you want to see it, well now you get to, no more assumptions. Braxton is by NFL standards an average NFL starter, of course we want to see better. Joe Thuney has not played any preseason games, I think next to Braxton will help him play better. Now BJ will be scheming plays that will make Braxton look better. If Caleb gets the ball out in 2.4 seconds it will nullify the pass rush. Everyone wants all pros at every position, roster building is not an easy task.

I think what all of this tells us is we have depth finally. Last year was a shit show on the OL especially when we had to go to back ups. JJ is suppose to start, he practiced yesterday. Not sure if he will be 100% but I suspect a 80% is better than 100% of Wright. We also have to remember Jefferson isnt a 100% yet, no Addison. The key will be putting pressure on McCarthy, we get to see what Dennis Allen brings to the table.

These are big men

JJ was whispering he wanted more money but knows he has to play well to demand more money. I hope he gets 10 ints. and is all pro. We will deal with a better contract later.

Thanks a lot, you always do a good job, the only problem is you seem to win all the time.

try to focus on football Im tired of your whining about how I construct sentences, word usage, proper grammar. From now on I will no longer get sucked into your pettiness . I will only be addressing football subjects. I have repeated many times about letting the season dictate what happens next year.

Last year we had the least dead cap space in the league by a big margin. Say what you want about Poles but he has did a good job and managing the cap so far. People got paid and after a yr or two, those contracts look team friendly in comparison to contracts handed out currently. JJ may end up being a problem with a I want to pay more but it wont happen this yr. His contract ends in 2027.

Adam is there a way to switch the MY TEAM SUCKS team to Mike Gretsy at ranordoorguy@gmail.com. I put both under my name 2 yrs ago when he was in that motorcycle accident and was in the hospital. Then paid for it and got it back from him. I tried to switch to his email as a preference and it also changes my team email preference. We are listed as co managers on his team. It would be a lot easier if these were just separate instead of a co manager situation on team SUCK.

Poles has already set the core players up with the contracts he gave out. We don't have a lot of cap space for two years. Our improvement will be from players they drafted and roster players improving. We will get to see first hand if his roster development are winners. If we have a winning season, probably would say he did a good job. If not we now have a great coaching staff to get player development and it will take another year to fix. These are my opinions, I don't pretend to know what Poles and BJ think. The fact I need to say this every time I post now seems condescending to the members of this forum but we do what we need to do to try to get along.

I don't agree with every point they make but a lot of them.

I am happy to have helped you expand your vocabulary . Talk about whatever you want but now I am not allowed to have an opinion. I wish you were in a BJ press conference so you could ask the coach about (if Burden plays well, if you would want to trade DJ Moore?) Does anyone want to suggest what BJs answer would be to that question? This is a football discussion forum and I disagreed with you so you want to talk about how I form sentences and what proper words to use. Normal fans just disagree and state their point but not you . You always want to get personal instead of just leave it to football. Mongo could not have said any more relevant words( that fools want to argue) of which applies to both of us instead of just trying to get along. Maybe one day you will just try to stay on football subjects and get off your personal attacks.

We are on the verge of having something real good here and people want to talk about getting rid of people. Let the season play out and it will be clear at the end of the year what is next.

I seen on X that we are trying out Isaiah Foskey/DE that played for the Saints last year was a second round pick but hasnt did anything in the NFL.

I wanted 24-20 but you already stated it. So I changed up a little.

Butthurt is not name calling it is what happening when someone whines about something. "butthurt" an excessive or unjustifiable feeling of personal offense or resentment.

23-20 Bears.

Swift is not a top 10 RB type in the league but last time he played for BJ, he had 99-542-5 and 48 rec-389-3. I also think we are discounting any effect Eric Bieniemy may have had in the RB room. I think Swift will be just fine for our run game. The key to the game will be the game calling of BJ vs the DC . BJ has did well against Brian Flores.

I didnt bother reading your post after the jerk statement. It's actually very simply, neither you nor me have any personal contacts in the Bears organization so when we say something, its ALWAYS an opinion. I have been posting on here since 2009 and up until you started the ( I dont like the way you say something), I never really had anyone question the way I say things. Mongo did once but he doesnt bring it up every time I give an opinion. Once someone told me "some people play checkers and some people play chess". I now understand what he meant.

You voiced your opinion and I voiced mine but of course your butt hurts because of the way I word statements. You just never stop. By suggesting that we trade DJ or before you said Kmet, you appear to be in BJs head with those statements. Poles is the GM but clearly BJ influenced the draft by the Loveland and Burden picks. Do you think his idea was lets draft these players so we can get rid of assets? He wants more weapons and has mentioned that in several interviews. Offensive minded coaches aren't even thinking about getting rid of weapons in his first year. The way Poles handed out contracts , everything is coming due when its time Caleb needs a contract. As far as future roster building , I think its thru the draft and cheap FA pickups. When you want to trade for huge contracts, you would have to dump assets, and they arent doing that . (IMO) You are going to say next year is different but this year is not a SB run, next year could be and no one is going to do that by dumping assets. You are assuming LT and pass rusher are a problem and you may be right, but they are going to let it play out and go from there. Neither of us know what will happen next year but we both have opinions.

This guy makes some good points. Good video

Burden will eventual replace BJ but it wont be this year and if he plays well next year either. BJ isnt ready to dumb assets when he is trying to get this offense up and running. 2027 is a different story,. You acquire all these assets and then start dumbing them right away? Offensive coaches want weapons that's why we drafted Luther and Loveland.
