FWIW IMHO Despite him being a left hander, which I hate in QBs, I thought that Penix was the second best QB in this draft. Now, it may only be because he kicked my Ducks' ass twice, but in those games, he was incredibly impressive. His accuracy was off the charts. He was pretty spectacular against T...

Yes! Now that's what I'm talking about.

I liked Prince's music but he was pretty much a Dick to work with or near or with others.. HE ASKED to borrow a guitar from the Roots guitarist "Captain" Kirk Douglas. A very collectable 1961 Epiphone Crestwood that was destroyed for Prince's ego.. No reason ever given why he asked for a ...

Bruh I remember the first time I saw/heard this! When Prince came out and ripped that solo, my good God I felt something inside me I never felt before.

I still fucking get chills listening to it.

Does it remind you of Drew Brees?

No, but this does though:

Do we all still trust Ryan Poles or is this punter pick in the 4th round of a pretty weak back half 2024 draft what puts us over the edge? 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. And ...

They weren't even going to give him one last shot.

God, he does have toothpick legs doesn't he. Put some pads on boy. lol

During a Wednesday interview on the Pat McAfee Show, Poles explained why he selected Taylor at No. 122. “I didn’t expect him to get much further. Definitely didn’t think I’d be able to pick him up when we got into the fifth round,” Poles said. “And, really, the thought process there is to make anyo...

So did Brandon Marshall, and whether you liked it or not, Jay Cutler.

Apparently not Summerville. He's been with the Bears for 12 years.

So I went to the University of Central Arkansas for undergraduate (home of Scottie Pippen) and they are the Bears. The big saying they use now is “Bears’ claws up” and people do what CW and Rome are doing. So I freaking love it even more. Can somebody please explain the University of Arizona to me?...

That was his second year (first full season as a starter)

I was with Yogi, I was thinking that was his rookie year.

My bad. I thought for sure he was a rookie.

You want meatball? How's this--Caleb becomes the first rookie QB to win the Super Bowl. :welcome: I'm kinda surprised there's never been a rookie QB go to the SB https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/rookie-qbs-super-bowl-history/c8phbwd7o8wg9rhstgujj3lm Um, Dan Marino went to the Super Bowl as ...

He's currently the third ranked DT for 2005.

Gross. I love meatballs and I love koolaid, but "meatball" koolaid simply doesn't do it for me.

Wow. Kind of a surprise. Wright (Tennessee), Dexter (Florida), Stevenson (Miami FL), Ja'Tyre Carter (Southern), Travis Bell (Kennesaw State (Ga)), and Pickens (South Carolina) were probably all from the SE scouting. Maybe Velus (Tennessee) and Trenton Gill (North Carolina State) doomed him. lol

Jenkins is my favorite current Bear by a large margin. I love isolating his play. But I too think he's on the way out. And I don't even think it's because of injuries. He hasn't had a back problem since he started taking Pilates (hear that DP ;)). We have Braxton's contract coming due in two years ...

According to the current 2025 big board at the NFL mock database, there are 12 DTs inside the top 53 players (which is nuts!) and 5 EDGE prospects in the top 25. Poles plans ahead. I think this draft pretty much proved that. He will probably take 2 or 3 DLine next draft when we have all those sweet...

Your "Johnson" is "distinguished?" Mine's not. Mine's a cad, a dirty rotten scoundrel I constantly have to suppress. lol You want meatball? How's this--Caleb becomes the first rookie QB to win the Super Bowl. :welcome: :wave2: :banana: :headbang: :toast: But then, that could just...

I'd hate to see Jenkins go. He's the one high end player the Bears have on the O-line. Maybe Wright will join him at that level but he wasn't close as a rookie. We're all excited right now, and understandably so, about all the talent at the offensive skill positions but the O-line is still a signif...

https://heavy.com/sports/chicago-bears/ol-larry-borom-trade-chip/ I didn't realize it, but Borom had enough snaps in his first 3 years to trigger the automatic pay escalators https://overthecap.com/proven-performance-escalator (He's the only one this year, but a truckload of Bears will hit it in 25...

A bit bummed we didn't get Leonard Taylor III. Does he really have a better chance of making the Giants' roster than ours?

Holy shit!

Gotta love seeing the offensive line finally addressed in the draft: 6 ol in three years of Poles' drafts, two in the first three round.

Outstanding pick, it seems that all my Sundays/Mondays/Thursdays bitching about not pinning teams inside the 10 yardline/5 yardline may be coming to an end! For real, this guy played a huge role in saving Iowa's offense. His ability to flip fields and pin offenses inside the 10 yard line will be a ...

I hate the idea of the Bears being on Hard Knocks, particularly as they're bringing a rookie QB along. Having said that, I'd watch the shit out of that show.

Both can block really, really well, and I agree that Reiman might be a better blocker. He's certainly stronger. But I completely disagree with respect to the receiving and route running. Despite his athleticism, Reiman seems klunky to me. Not near as smooth as Johnson. And it shows in the wide disp...

I see him trading down here. And with his concentration on offense, could he pick Theo Johnson next? I it would fit his plan for this draft--fix the offense.

Bye Bye Borum. I hate to say this as he's my favorite Bear, but I also think this spells the end for Tevin Jenkins after this year, whether he stays healthy or not. I don't believe that Poles wants to pay him the money next year, not when the kid doesn't fit his offensive lineman profile. He's alwa...

What's even more insane (hilarious) is that Kirk Cousins was at the Falcons draft event with the fans right before they picked Penix.

Cousins got dicked.
