Re: Bears New Stadium Nonsense Repository
I get the sense that there is something ELSE the Bears want from Arlington Heights. As has been previously pointed out, a million here, a million there in taxes are single-digit percentage points in the larger scheme. Certainly not worth killing the deal over. I think there is another key point - s...

Re: 30 Visits
Added JC Latham to the list. Man, I wonder why no Byron Murphy II....I'm really feeling like a trade back to around #12 and then a selection of the best 3T in the class would be the best call here. I wonder if they're genuinely not interested or if possibly they are trying to conceal their interest...

Re: The Great BFO Food, Recipe, & Eating Thread
I had some company show up for the eclipse last minute and had to feed them, so I threw a couple racks of spare ribs on the smoker at 300 for 1.5 hours before turning it down to 190 for 25-30 minutes to try and get some more smoke on them.

Re: DJ Moore's Comment
What needs to be understood is that DJ Moore has been through QB hell in his career. He's obviously an extremely talented WR and he's had to overcome a lot. He didn't have anybody at Carolina to really get him the ball. So then he comes here and he's got JF1 and they clicked. For the first time in ...

That Dylan Laube is one of my favorite value guys in the draft.
Fast, runs good routes from slot or backfield, can catch anything, isn't afraid to lower his shoulder at times, changes direction pretty well.

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

Maybe the truthers are right and Fields won't be traded... maybe he hasn't been made available and the Bears are in fact going to trade down. Giving Fields two seasons worth of chances after having the #1 pick in back-to-back years would be BOLD. One season I get - they were never taking a QB last ...

But he's capable of running an offense.

There's not a lot of QB's that he's worked with out there that you'd bring in as a backup. John Woolford doesn't inspire much confidence. Sean Mannion and Blake Bortles have retired.
