New ESPN+ article placing the eligible QB's into Tiers for the upcoming draft. I won't violate the paywall but here's a snippet on CW: https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/39914870/2024-nfl-draft-quarterback-tiers-scouts-executives-caleb-williams-jayden-daniels-drake-maye Not all teams were ...

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?

... More like comparing apples to howler monkeys ... I think CBS should hire the howler monkey you reference ... some chimp randomly banging on a keyboard could create something more sensible than the shit this choad just puked up on their behalf Howler Monkeys? 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...

Per NFL.com NFL expands uniform policy to allow third alternate helmet design Two years after alternate helmets designs were approved to return to the NFL, the league has expanded its uniform policy to allow for a third helmet to be added to teams' uniform closets, the league announced via a memo se...

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 ...

… The bottom line is that JF himself did not show enough for us to pass on drafting CW … This is it in a nutshell. It would be different if CW were not such a highly regarded prospect. Whether or not you agree with the “generational” tag, CW is just too good to pass on. I’m the world’s biggest tOSU...

Don't overdraft for a position of need when there are far better players still on the board. Theres something to be said for this. Top 10 talent is top 10 talent. We have two opportunities to pick blue-chippers, so that’s what we ought to do. Let’s go BPA. We don’t know the next time we’ll be picki...

With the Bears or with Wash, Sweat has been between 64-70% of the snaps in all 5 of his years in the league. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SweaMo00.htm Looking at the O or D as a whole, instead of by position, is a fair argument. Although I would counterargue that the biggest pro...

From today’s Daily Herald. Like a BOSS … ‘ Least-hairy option’: School leaders believe Arlington Heights Bears stadium still in play Three Arlington Heights-area school district superintendents say they’re being mischaracterized for potentially quashing the deal to bring the Bears to town, and quest...

Supposedly a fight has broke out in AH over the Bears' plans. Folk are screaming at the school districts asking if they're willing to forego tax revenues which, although maybe not as big as they'd desire, would still be larger than almost any other development(s) on the property and allow for signi...

It’s pissing me off seeing several ESPN heads saying they have Daniel’s as the best QB. That is all. the fuckers this morning were asked who might be like houston this coming season. the pricks said washington with their new qb blah blah blah. fucking fuckersss. die!!! Okay, otis . Tell us how you ...

All-time stupid move right before a draft. Teams maybe including the Bears probably sorry they didn't draft a guy for smoking grass, something not exactly unknown among NFL players. Yeah - In retrospect (with weed now legal in most places) , this is a great big nothing-burger. That was definitely a...

If I was making the call for the Bears, I think it has to be AH. They get to own the stadium and all the revenue that comes from it - Final 4, Super Bowl, Disney on Ice, etc. They also get to develop the land how they want and reap those profits - sell land a a crazy high price to hotels or enter i...

For once, we have smart, visionary leadership that’s making BOSS LEVEL moves. It's WWAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too soon to be confidently claiming something like that. Totally disagree. Just off the top of my head, this regime has: 1) Brought in real football people. 2) Gotten us out of salary cap hell. 3) Re...

Don’t sweat it. They’ve run out of things to say and they have to fill the airwaves with SOMETHING.

Like everyone else here, I’ve been reading mock drafts, listening to the pundits, and counting down the days until the draft. Along the way, it hit me: We have two top ten picks in the draft! We basically control the draft this year. Poles can do all kinds of stuff but ultimately, he is in a positio...

…I could absolutely see them taking Turner if he's there. Flus clearly likes a smaller guy in the rotation … I might be parsing words here but IMO, you don’t pick a guy in the top ten to be “in the rotation.” A top ten guy ought to be an impact starter. Plug & play (or close to it) on day one.

For me it's simple. YOU DON'T DO IT.

You have the number one pick in a year where the number one prospect is considered special.

Don't over-think it.
Don't over-analyze it.
Don't try to be smarter than everyone else.

Use the number one pick on the consensus number one prospect.

Full stop.

As a fan, I don't give a shit where they build a stadium. Chances are I probably will not be able to see them in person anyway ... I am 100% with you on this ... wherever the stadium may be, I will probably only get minimal opportunities to actually be in it during a Bears game ... and watching on ...

Ald. Jeanette Taylor (20th), Johnson’s hand-picked Education Committee chair, believes public subsidies for both new stadiums should be a non-starter. “Hell no ... We shouldn’t be giving them subsidies to do anything. They’re … billion-dollar franchises. They can afford it. Honestly, I’m really tir...

Yes, and another consideration is which one is a better compliment to Sweat in Flus’ defense?

I think Poles will (and should) use his other round 1 pick for a starting 3T and/or LT. And, I think you could trade down a few spots and still land that player: one of Byron Murphy/Johnny Newton or Fuaga/Fashanu depending on your preference and grades. A trade into the early teens would still land...

I give you a TLDR version of the article I linked the other day. Poles and Eberflus were watching the combine, and Poles was caught on a hot mic saying, "If he's there, I'm taking him." They were watching the DEs. A bunch of fans Scooby-Dooed that shit, and decided it most likely happened...
