I had no idea this was even a thing. Can McClown actually write? If you mean "is he literally capable of making letters, words, and sentences?", I'm fairly sure he is. If you mean "does he have professional writing credits?", no, I don't think so. McNown later worked for UBS in ...

I didnt want to start a thread about this, but I was thinking about the QB prospects for next year... And who knows, there's always someone who takes a big step but at first blush I have zero enthusiasm for that group of QB's. I am extremely glad the "lets trade down again and worry about QB n...

Like everyone else here, I am super geeked for the upcoming season. I believe The Beloved are about to shake things up in a BIG way and I'm here for it. It's going to be a helluva year. But what I'm REALLY hyped for is 2025! Think about this ... by the 2025 draft, CW and the skill position group wil...

Not surprised.

Pundits have been speculating on him as a Bears pick for weeks.

... So awesome, so un-Bears-like. At a point in time, we are going to have to accept the fact that this is a different Bears organization. As Poles says in this video, "The history is the history -- I'm kind of done talking about it." We need to let go of those old tropes ("Cheap McC...

... And Odunze blew my mind! I knew basically nothing about the kid as a person, but his interviews were basically PERFECT for what I want in a player. Confident without arrogance, smart, focused, natural. Just EXCELLENT. ... This is a cross-post from the Odunze thread, but the video is definitely ...

For folks who want to know more about Rome Odunze "the person," here is another of those long-form interviews from The Pivot.

I came away thinking that this is an impressive young man.

I would not be surprised to see Poles do something wacky to get into the 2nd round. Everyone has said that this is a top-heavy draft and there is talent to be had today.

I am hopeful.

(The theater geek in me couldn’t resist)

This right here.

I wish people would let the “Cheap McCaskeys” trope die.

From Khalil Mack to Ian Cunningham, it simply doesn’t hold water anymore.

This works for me!

Love this draft. This would make me very happy.

I am officially out of the "My Guy" business. Last year, I was ALL IN on Adetomiwa Adebawore (AA). I even had some folks on the board swayed. I just KNEW he was going to come into the league and light it up. And if we didn't draft him high, we were gonna miss out. Dude got drafted in the F...

... We’ve seen nothing like that from Williams to date - in fact, just the opposite. He’s been attending the Quarterback Collective, in part under the tutelage of Shane Waldron, to get a head start on running the Shanahan/McVay offense. An overconfident player likely doesn’t do that. Nothing report...

I could be dead wrong but I get the sense that he has enough EQ to understand how and when to put his cockiness to work. Make no mistake, this is a team full of pros and they will push and haze him until they feel he has earned the right to be cocky. I know one thing — NOBODY wants to go to war with...

If you have an hour, I’d highly recommend watching this Caleb interview on the Pivot … with Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder and Ryan Clark. https://youtu.be/JsczrmkO-Yc?si=ACUvlVW2bIeR6eBX Really get a good sense of his leadership style, personality - how he reacted to the Fields trade, etc. He’s got...

Let's all admit that so far it's just talk. Good talk, optimistic talk, but talk nonetheless. I can recall hearing much the same from every top draft pick the Bears have had during my years as a fan and many top picks of other teams as well. When it finally comes down to I'm not gonna tell you what...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsczrmkO-Yc I don’t usually have time to invest in long form interviews like this but these guys are good at what they’re doing. (If you want to LMAO for quite a while, check out the one they did with Kevin Hart.) More importantly, this one is worth the time investme...

Boy, I can tell by all of the restless energy around here that next Thursday night is going to be BIG!!!



Are we going to have the discord open?

Did someone say Howler Monkeys??? ht...

It's my understanding that Nabers is basically a Moore clone (not a bad thing mind you) and he's 6'0". Odunze is taller at 6'3". I like the idea of the taller receiver because it's a compliment to Moore. I would be elated with either one. Co-signed How do you like this for a Receiver corp...

Odunze is my 3 of 3, but Steve Smith is wrong. Rome had a 75% contested catch rate - by far the highest of the Big Three. Agreed. I get that Steve Smith played in the league but almost every evaluation of Odunze speaks of his physicality, strength, and ability to win against DB's. Maybe Smith doesn...

Brett Kollman just released his WR big board (annoyingly in PDF form) this morning and has Odunze 2nd in this class, in the same tier as MHJ. (Nabers is third, but in the second tier). https://i.imgur.com/7dbr8Cm.jpeg Regarding Odunze, this is a small thing but it really stuck in my head. It’s a qu...

The Bears wouldn't lose that much more revenue if they went with AH and the taxes the school districts want. I figure Warren's playing high stakes poker. Save and excepting a downtown plan is developed showing significant revenues flowing to the Bears, I don't see how they can walk away from AH. De...

https://x.com/Chicago_NFL/status/1777483936718803166 This is really interesting Food for Thought. One of the things Poles said to McAfee a couple of weeks ago (in response to RG3’s asinine comments) is that he and his braintrust were hired to “Break a cycle.” One could identify that cycle as “load ...
