Bud and Marv Levy are the only 2 guys to coach teams to championships in the CFL and the NFL. Although both have the dubious distinction of losing the Super Bowl 4 times.

The Jets are in a win-now mode. But I'd take Jackson, give up the 13th this year and try to talk the Ravens into a lower pick next year and have a QB for another 10 or so year. Depending, of course, on reaching a contract with Jackson before the trade.

Christmas will come early if the Jets and Pack don't reach an agreement by draft day.

D.J. started out more of a slot guy but Carolina began using him deeper over the years. I figure Getsy will put him in the X and Mooney or a draft pick will be put in the slot: https://beargoggleson.com/posts/chicago-bears-d-j-moore-perfect-justin-fields It should be noted that he was also used out ...

I know the thread asks for 5 but I have a 6th. Butkus catching an extra point pass against the 'Skins, '70 or '71? Just so cool.

6th year, appeared in 61 games with nine starts, recording recorded 147 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, and two interceptions. He has consistently played over 60 percent of special teams snaps. Last season he played the most defensive snaps of his career, eight starts and appearing, 4...

After much reading and teeth gnashing, I've finally come to the conclusion that Poles is quietly building this team mainly thru the draft, not free agency. We will see improvement in '23. Perhaps a playoff run. But Poles will continue in the same vein in this manner in adding guys in '24, '25, etc....

Haven't seen this type of thread in awhile. In the "what makes you a Bears fan" type of thinking, what are your top 5 favorite Bears memories? Be they single plays, whole games, or whatever. 5. Fog Bowl vs Eagles. That was the wildest game I've ever watched on live TV. 4. 1991 season: Fir...

Not in any particular order: Being in the stands the game in which Sweetness set the single game rushing record; 1968 - Dad scored Bears tickets to the 49ers game (got them from a guy who couldn't use them; otherwise tickets were not obtainable); Bears won at Wrigley Field, Sayers ran a return back ...

Jumpin' Jesus, another John Randle clone coming out of college who didn't exactly pan out like Randle? 14.5 sacks in 4 years, not exactly that pressure-the-QB guy the team needs. He fits the age criteria, he fits the 'hopefully entering more productive stage of his career' phase. Why do I get the fe...

Two good articles on Ski. The author of the first thinks he'd be an excellent LG and RT. Teams typically don't guys like at #9. I'm assuming at this time that Davis starts at LG and Jenkins at RG and stick a draft pick at RT. Perhaps if they trade down, pick up a higher 2nd rounder, use that 1st rou...

D.J. fix for the day: https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2023/3/16/23643097/dj-moore-bears-trade-justin-fields-salary-cap-contract-darnell-mooney-chase-claypool-panthers Will the Bears new WR lineup equal Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd? As I read in one mock draft, will Poles shock everyo...

If they draft a RT or Jenkins can hold down the job. If they draft a C or Patrick actually does well. If they add a DE who can get after the QB (Ngakoue even though he's a sieve against the run). If they draft a 3T. 8 wins would be a seismic improvement. 10 wins would be amazing and definitely get t...

Dang, ATL could have thrown him in instead of a 2025 1st rounder .....

Don't remember a lot of pressure by Georgia on Stroud. None by Carter and can't remember any by Nolan Smith. So Wypler, Johnson, etc. did their jobs.

Because Poles didn't fill all the DL holes (don't know if realistically could have), it seems like it's more of a need in the draft. 3T, DE along with RT. One of those 3 picks at 54, 61, and 64 might see a CB. But, of course, Poles knows a bit better than me what he thinks would benefit the team so...

They are sharp guys. I'm sure LaFleur will modify the offense to address Love essentially being a newbie, simpliefied. They also lack talent - I am optimistic this ends badly Magically the 20+ year "conspiracy" will end too - odd Erin could bring out the talent in his WRs. We'll see if Lo...

Some are touting Broderick Jones from Georgia as a better pro prospect than Skoronski and Johnson. But I'm still thinking the Bears don't address this at 9.

Again don't do that Also - not every slow white guy is Tom Brady either You are welcome True but no other DT ever was faster than Aaron Donald. I did mention ever didn't I? It's a comp, not the end-all. Hell I remember being told comparing Aaron Donald to a future HOF like Sapp was stupid. Again it...

I can't believe when I looked there isn't even a thread about CBs for this draft. I know there are other needs, but with the way Gordon has been criticized and considering JJ is up for contract renewal after this season and Kindle Vildor is CB2, it doesn't even seem to be a BPA conversation - it is...

Did you see any games with the first 2 guys? Were they mentioned at all? I know centers don't get a lot of air time from the announcers so I'd be surprised if they had.

Good adds from @wab and @tmp.

I've read lots of good about Wright. I just wonder, though, he's reportedly 335 pounds, a bit heftier than the Poles' ideal.

Not really. The success rate for QBs in the league isn't high, probably less than 50%. Here's hoping (Davis) Love lives down to that. I guess it mostly boils down to me trusting Gutekunst and LaFleur more than you do... :D They are sharp guys. I'm sure LaFleur will modify the offense to address Lov...

It's hard to predict picks in round 2 without knowing who the team takes in round #1. But here's list of guys who I think would be on the table: Derick Hall, DE, Auburn Zach Harrison, DE, Ohio State Keenau Benton, DT, Wisconsin Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern Tuli Tuipulotu, DT, USC Gervon Dex...

I agree with Dplank. If you don't ask, you're not going to get. No shame in Poles putting that as his price for a highly valued pick.

Very raw coming out, hardly any playing time in the pros. The odds are high that his first year at least is going to be bumpy and hopefully it lasts. That would be nice, I'll give you that. I think that's pretty improbable, though. Not really. The success rate for QBs in the league isn't high, prob...

1 Pretty sure very few of us on this board had our shit together at 21 years old, he obviously does not either. I'm ... offended. I was single-handedly trying to pump up the economy of Mexico .... Never read that about Fields but more than one article on Carter. They'll take him if he makes a strong...

Tonga, Pennell, now Billings playing 1T. Billings is a good player but should have just kept Tonga, who was re-upped by the Viqueens.
