Re: Nattering Negative Numnut
That dope Everfucked is unworthy of a roster like this. How is he qualified to coach any of these players? He has actual stars now. Several of them. Poles has built this amazing roster and it's being squandered. Part of me wouldn't mind if we lost like 3 or 4 games due to obviously poor coaching. Th...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
I look at it like he drafted Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze along with "drafting" Montez Sweat and Keenan Allen.
He can take a punter in the 4th.

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
I think I read something like Taylor's punting resulted in the opposition requiring 3 more first downs per game (as opposed to touchbacks, etc). For a bend-but-don't-break defense like ours, that is GOLD. Any opportunity where we can pin someone inside the 10 yard line, I fucking want it. I watched...

Re: Post Draft Meatball Overreaction - Three Things
That's right! It's time for the Post NFL Draft Meatball Fan Overreaction thread. Many NFL pundits gave the Bears an A on their draft this year, and how could they not. Ryan Poles knocked it out of the park. If we count Keenan Allen as part of the draft class, then it truly was franchise altering. W...

Re: 2024 Draft: Is This Our Greatest Draft Ever?
The payroll for the entire 1983 team was probably less than the $23 mil we're paying Keenan Allen. It was also damn near a half a century ago... I'm happy that we no longer have to look back at a draft that's 41 years old and be like "wow" the Bears really nailed that one. If we win a Sup...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
I think the over arching theme here is to give the rookie QB as much support as possible and Poles has gone the route of Super Duper Offense. The defense was coming into its own after the Sweat trade. I have no idea how Poles thinks but I’m guessing that on some level he knows that Caleb Williams = ...

Re: The 2024 Draft
We don't need to be doing the trade up thing. There is plenty of talent on this roster and to do a trade up into the fifth I'd rather hang onto the fourth rounder we gave up. Surely the Bears needed a pass rusher opposite Sweat? In fact it was considered such a need many pundits as well as members ...

Re: What about 2025???
I think the 2025 draft will put you to sleep by comparison to this year's. It wouldn't surprise me to see a trade for a player similar to Sweat. But I think what we'll see is a very Eat Your Vegetables type draft. Linemen. Linebackers. Maybe a RB. That's a good thing too. But it's not going to have ...

It isn't that I WANT Jenkins to go. I just don't think Poles will pay him whatever the market is for an oft injured guard when we have a ton of picks next year. TBH with you I don't know what my preference is. I respect the argument for replacing him via the draft. Jenkins misses a lot of games. Wh...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
This pick should frustrate me because can't we just get a flunky from a soccer league?
But no, it's Poles, and after what he's done over the past 12 months, OK fine, take a punter in the 4th.

I would be fine with them replacing the "S" with a "Z" or inverting the "W". Not an actual "M" mind you, but inverting the "W".Rusty Trombagent wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:44 am Great thing about fanatics QC is that no two jerseys will be the same

I don't think Poles keeps Jenkins. We are loaded with draft picks next year. Loaded, including a first and two seconds. Imagine having the 20th(?) overall pick and taking the best guard on the board. I'd be fine with that. I love Jenkins' approach to the game and the OL is obviously better when he'...
