Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
If Caleb Williams is the goods, he is the new King of Chicago, and potentially the NFL. And Ryan Poles trading the #1 pick to the Panthers will go down as the greatest trade in NFL history. Do we have a Ryan Poles appreciation thread? Maybe we should? Right alongside the David Tepper and Lovie Smit...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
Question for everyone. I've watched all the clips everyone has posted here as well as many other across the web. Did he take a single snap under center while in college? I don't think that's a huge issue but it could be. I saw a stat a while ago. It was something absurd like a dozen, maybe less. An...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
I don't either. I value tape over all by a wide margin. My only inclination here is if there's something that reflects on their character, which is one of the hardest things for teams to project on their draftees and one of the biggest unsung elements of a players eventual success or failure in the...

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen
Allen turned down a pay cut. He turned down a multi-year extension with the Chargers; it is thought that this is because he didn't like the salary level he would had under it. So it is possible that he would accept an extension but is looking for more than the Bears will be willing to pay. Never kn...

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen
I think history's going to forget Phillip Rivers pretty quickly, but it shouldnt! He was great, a total weirdo off the field, and kind of weird on the field. Phillip Rivers biggest problem had nothing to do with him. He just played in an era with too many elite, Hall of Fame level QBs. There's this...

8. Falcons - Stumped on who they take, just have to hope with London and Mooney they somehow feel someone other than MHJ helps the team more, or maybe some trades up to take Penix.

I haven't written him off. Sure, go ahead and prove you can improve your arm strength, buddy. His abilities as a QB last year. Vastly overrated by weird homers.

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
A bunch of old cooters like Gabriel and drunks like Lucas have lobbed thinly veiled character concerns on Caleb, but yea, outwardly speaking, no alarm bells ring. Of course you can only tell so much from interviews and stuff, but confidence/arrogance alone shouldn't be red flags.

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
I do think it's fair to set expectations accordingly, and that's not some "I'm bitter about Fields so I'm gonna be hard on the new kid" thought. CW is supposed to be a better prospect than CJ Stroud, and he's walking into a vastly superior setup than Stroud had. So I pretty much have Stro...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
MHJ could drop from this, but it's going to be very team dependent. I doubt 5 straight teams will all fall under the same mindset on this. But one or two could. Or NE/ARI don't care at all and he drops not at all.

AH's new plan calls for the Bears to pay $6.3M in tax year 2023, $3.6M in 2024, and 3 to 10% increases based on market conditions for the following 3 years. The Bears have asked for tax certainty for 5 years and this may satisfy this condition. Unrelated to this story but the dealings of the Chiefs...

Re: Justin Fields traded to Pittsburgh for conditional pick
The nickles would have been gained in October after the first round of QB injuries set in. The Bears could have done better than a 6th at that time. As far as the Bears doing the "noble" thing with the trade, sorry this is the NFL and it is a business and nothing more. Businesses do the r...

Re: Justin Fields traded to Pittsburgh for conditional pick
The Bears have always put a premium on doing right by their players and Poles is just the newest GM to do so.

I don't think they are quitting on Scott. Seems too early for that. But yes, they do need to draft one. I agree I dont think they are either.

I can't see Poles giving up one of our 4 remaining picks for a one year rental when you already have Sweat and Demarcus Walker at DE. Yea, while I'm glad to know Poles isn't a pick perv and can be selectively aggressive with trading picks, 4 is definitely at the low end already. I can't remember a ...
