Re: Justin Fields Megathread - A story of Lovers and Haters

Of course Fields wouldn't like it if they draft Williams and keep him, but it's not in Justin's nature to throw a fit or hold out. He's a competitor and I think he believes he can beat anyone else out, including Williams. Why do I think this? When he was coming out of Harrison High School, everyone ...

Re: Jim Harbaugh, Bears HC wishlist thoughts

Because he is a liability on the field and is vastly overpaid. Also, we will need the cap space if we resign all the other players we SHOULD keep along with being active in FA. Chris Conte was a liability on the field…Eddie Jackson is not. Watch the tape vs going with the narrative . He’s not an in...

Re: Justin Fields Megathread - A story of Lovers and Haters

I don't think it would be that big of a challenge to attract OC candidates if Eberflus returns. There are some enticing things about the Bears' situation. 1. Fields is highly regarded by a lot of NFL folks, and a lot of potential OC's believe they could be successful with him. 2. Being successful wi...

I'm going to plump for Travis Bell. I don't expect him to make the opening day roster but could see him getting elevated from the practice squad later in the season when injuries start to kick. The other two rookie interior D-linemen may run out of steam over the final few weeks of a long season to...

I don't think the Pettis re-signing affects anything, unless they gave him guaranteed money. Pettis knows the system, can return punts, and is a competent WR that can play if others get injured. He could easily just be insurance in case somebody else gets hurt, or if the draft doesn't present any op...
