Regardless of what any of us feel about Edmunds, the key part of that article is toward the end when the author speculates on Ryan Pace's affinity for players just like Edmunds. I completely agree and said as much previously this offseason: Edmunds is absolutely in the mold of guys that Pace covets, and I wouldn't be shocked at all if he took him at 8, or possibly even traded up to secure him. But Pace is nothing if not unpredictable these days.G08 wrote:https://theathletic.com/310552/2018/04/ ... the-bears/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;cblaz11 wrote:Lol...I was partially kidding, partially kind of serious that he has proven more in his ability to rush the edge then Edmunds.

I think he’s referring to his pass rush ability, of which he has none, since you keep foolishly projecting him to be an edge rusher.G08 wrote:https://theathletic.com/310552/2018/04/ ... the-bears/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;cblaz11 wrote:Lol...I was partially kidding, partially kind of serious that he has proven more in his ability to rush the edge then Edmunds.

I would argue it's more foolish to be unable to project a player/talent to do something solely because you haven't seen it on the internet.Adipost wrote:I think he’s referring to his pass rush ability, of which he has none, since you keep foolishly projecting him to be an edge rusher.G08 wrote:https://theathletic.com/310552/2018/04/ ... the-bears/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;cblaz11 wrote:Lol...I was partially kidding, partially kind of serious that he has proven more in his ability to rush the edge then Edmunds.

Personal insults aside, evaluating and projecting how kids will turn out as pro athletes is not a science, nor is it accurate, it's only an opinion. That's why GM and scouts get it wrong, that's why these so called draft analyst experts get it wrong and why they release eleventy million mock drafts before the actual thing, sooner or later they'll hit on a good one solely based on numbers, and why none of us are employed by NFL franchises right now.MrPrettyBoyFancyLad wrote:seriously, cringeworthy. not just edmunds, but everything.
listen, i'm not trying to hurt your feelings and certainly you're entitled to your opinion, but typically when people take on the roll of pundit in some form of media, they usually know something about what they're talking about unless, of course, they're being used as some type of comedic foil. and for your information, people don't listen to podcasts to just to hear opinions for the sake of hearing opinions because they're starved for opinions, they listen to podcasts to hear informed people give some type of insight on the subject at hand. you don't meet that criteria.
so when i say that you are the least knowledgeable poster on this board, i'm not saying it because i hate you and i'm trying to hurt your feelings, but i'm saying it because i cannot think of one other poster who knows less about the Chicago Bears (or football in general) than you. you're probably a great guy and good at whatever you do, but as far as this is concerned, you really don't know much about this subject at all.
I say go the opposite route, have him on the podcast. I'd like him to share his vast knowledge with the rest of us less fortunate people.UOK wrote:Please avoid listening to future episodes, FancyLad.

no i didn't. it seems you heard what you wanted to hear and have gone into defensive mode, however, that is not at all what i wrote. to be crystal clear, i dont' think cblaz is a dumbass, as a matter of fact, he may be a genius for all i know, but what i did say is that he doesn't know hardly anything about football or the chicago bears.UOK wrote:He essentially called my co-host a dumbass.
well it's all relative, right? you have vast knowledge relatively speaking. so does Boris. so does otis. so does mmmc. so does docc. so does rusty trubisky. so does hematite. so does G08. so does wab....Nanky wrote:I say go the opposite route, have him on the podcast.

MrPrettyBoyFancyLad wrote: so i guess my question is: is the sole purpose of these threads on your podcasts only to serve as a vehicle to shower praise on you guys? this is just an ego thing? perhaps if you simply stated these unspoken rules at the beginning of the thread we could either rain down superlatives on you guys to make you feel all happy or just not comment at all.
but hey, if that's the case, here's my revised post in regards to cblaz and the podcast: you guys did really great! best podcast maybe ever.
MrPrettyBoyFancyLad wrote:btw, let me just take a wild ass shot in the dark here and tell me if i'm right. cblaz is the one who set up the podcast and that's why he's on the podcast.
it's the only way any of this makes sense.

I started the show, Chris does a great job, and we're just two guys enjoying ourselves talking about the Bears with absolutely zero obligation to educate our listeners, nor any agenda to misinform.
We're just having fun, and if Floyd doesn't find us to meet his standards, I have no idea why he listened in the first place.

Mayock’s take: “He won’t turn 20 until the week after the draft. He’s big and runs in the 4.5s. I can’t even think of a comp for him because he’s so unique. He has all kinds of upside as an off-the-ball linebacker, which is what he was at Virginia Tech.
“But I also think he’s that rare guy who could stick his hand in the dirt and rush the quarterback. He’s got length. He’s got get-off. He’s got some twitch. In today’s NFL, it’s about affecting the quarterback. You could use him off the ball. He can rush from the ‘A’ gap. I think you could also line him up as an outside rusher in sub-packages.’’
Pace said Edmunds can play both inside and outside linebacker immediately in the NFL.
