Re: NFL.com ranks Ryan Pace last among GMs w/ experience

Things may change this year, but based on Pace's present track record I can't see how he can be rated higher. He currently has a 14-34 record as GM. When and if they start winning games he will move up on GM lists. Btw, I am all for his contract extention.

Re: What happened to Kevin White? (video essay)

He's just so raw. Even *if* he can stay healthy, the guy just hasn't played a lot of football over the past three years. I'm sure he's watched tons of tape, worked out, etc. but all that time he would have been on the field learning, making mistakes and growing from them, he's been hurt. In a leagu...

too much sitting does cause 'roids (of a different type) ... so what did he do? overdose on Tucks?

Re: Anybody else think we'll end up with a R3 pick?

Right now I can see picking up a 3rd as part of what we would get in dropping down from the #8 spot. I am not predicting we trade our number 8 or want us to for that matter.

I'm a little shocked by this. I'm guessing they are thinking Christian Kirk now in the 2nd? Also I'd look at Jaleel Scott in the 6th as well. I love Christian Kirk - both as a receiver and as a possible pro-bowl returner - but I don't feel like he's the speed guy that I think Pace/Nagy will be look...

Re: SB Era: Top 5 Bears Offensive Skill Players Not Named Pa

Neil Anderson IMO is the most underrated Bear of all time. I would add Dick Gordon to the HMs. Btw Mike Ditka does just barely make it to the SB era as a Bear. He was still a Bear for the 1966 season.

Re: So which expert/ site do you pay most attn to pre draft

I’m another here who gets the Lindy draft guides. I have become a hoarder with them as I don’t toss out issues from past years. I also listen a lot to NFL channel on sirius radio. I listen to many podcasts, among my favorites is Simms And Lefkoe.

Re: Charles Leno improving year over year

I see PFF as the Skip Bayless of sports analytics. Moriarity points out nicely the problem with this particular analysis. Leno probably has improved but I would not go by PFF on this. That said I still, like most Bears fans, like when PFF says something nice about a Bears player.
