When you say he might throw a pick or two, I assume you mean in his career, not the game.

No of course not. That is an reasonable expectation for a rookie QB.
I meant in the season. Two this season as against say, 50 touchdowns.

Fair take 1 or 2 this season then no more in his career.

It all comes down to the Bears' O-Line... The Titans will heavily blitz us in an attempt to confuse and rattle CW. If our line has their ploop together, CW can make them pay dearly. If not, it could be a long day and a more iffy outcome. My guess is that it will be a mixed bag, with the Beloved squ...

I will take that QB room. Feel good about Bagent as backup. Seems as if he picked up the O. Again, if/when you get to QB 3 having to play, your season is usually over. Listen to Kmet's 85 podcast with Reed. It is pretty funny. Reed likes to say "bro" and "dude" quite a bit. I ag...

Sounds like George is going to edit out all the cuts and we won't see that.

Will his ego let him do that? I am not saying the dude is overly cocky, but this guy sees himself as a QB. Came in as a highly rated QB, not sure I can see JF saying what the hell, make me a WR/RB. I think that was what kept Tebow from having a better NFL career. He too was an amazing athlete, but ...

Its like draft picks, the mystery and promise is tantalizing. Fields was a known entity so no one loses their head. I'm still holding out some semblance of hope for him that he'll figure it out, but yeah at this point it seems like he's yet another failed QB drafted by the Chicago Bears. Traded for...

I really liked what I saw from Reed and am really happy we managed to retain him. He just looked like he belonged out there, which for a rookie is really impressive. Bagent had that same vibe last year. I would have thought they would try and keep Rypien just to have somewhat of a vet presence play...

If Velus washes out at HB, that will be his next assignment

The Bears have tried dumber things...

In college one of our DBs was the long snapper.

Well if Scales doesn't make it back, that is going to be at most one play this year, so not much to worry about.

Fair enough man. If I came here and half the folks thought I was a complete ass, I don’t think I’d hang around. Just trying to help with that for you but if you want to double down on being a dickhead enjoy. I simply don’t see the point. FWIW in the 25 years or so I've been a member of Bears messag...

Dude the comparison is fine. Do you jump all over players when they say things like "going to battle" or "going to war?" Stuff like this is why some people here bitch about your posting. I expressly talk down about Press Conferences generally (though I might start having to carv...

I was bummed to see Adrian Colbert get cut. He's a great story. I loved hearing about him. His pregame stuff was similar to me. Never did the “jack myself stuff.’ I’d sit in in a corner by myself with headphones and Walkman with a mixed tape (if you know you know, if your don’t be great full for yo...

Have they taught him how to hold onto a football yet? All his other talents mean shit unless he figures out how to hold a football. Hopefully he's cut soon to make room for other moves. He doesn’t seem to track the ball well on long passes and punts. But doesn’t seem as big as issue on kickoffs. Th...

Agree, he’s got explosive plays in him. I like what I saw at RB This is where I'm at as well I think we both are kind of writing him off as a WR - but he can bring value I think people who are against VJJ - and they have legit reasons - see that he won't ever be a WR and that 3rd Round status he pr...

I’m interested is seeing how Waldron uses VJJ on game day. I think he is going to make those hoping for him getting a trip to train station rethink that position.

Hightower will do the same with kickoffs.

I put down 17

This is just me looking out there and going meh, not much to really help us. (Which is a way of saying Poles has done a great job in making the bottom of our roster rather solid).

Can’t believe Jones is staying though. Jesus.

Hardy, DomRob, Sewell, Baskerville, Bill Murray, DeAndre Carter all appear to have made it.

I get not reading what I post, but you should read yours.

A few minor surprises for me. By that I mean guys that I thought they had done enough to have shot at the 53-man roster. C. Johnson and The Hound of the Baskerville. Johnson had some impressive moments in the pre-season and is our only "big" WR, but I think he got nicked up and that let Sc...

This is a great pull. Let's hope the dude is right. It sure sounds plausible. A guy I work with is a Seahawks fan, and was pretty shocked they traded Taylor. Maybe we can trade him back and get a 5th??? Or send them DomRob or Hardy. :rofl: :rofl: If we were to send DomRob to Seattle, they'd most li...

So you can’t do IR-DTR until after cut day, I’m guess? As I understand it from what I heard on some podcast earlier is you can have up to three guys you put on IR before cut day be designated to return. I don't know if that mean you have to designate them now if you can just pick any three as the s...

Do they need Larry Borom?

I liked him in college haven't followed his NFL career.

Member when (I need TMP to post his Member Berries meme) many folks wanted to crucify the team when they didn't lock him into a long term deal.

Looks like we made the right call on him. 4 years later and he has produced very little and is likely out of the NFL.

That's an interesting idea. Yeah but I think one of the reasons coaches like the scrimmages is because they're less public. They feel comfortable showing more, because all 32 teams arent watching. That's a pretty solid reason for why the teams would oppose it. Thanks for pissing in my Wheaties.

Here's why I like this idea. It make the trade with the Panthers keep on giving.
