Also there's a report that the Bears signed Andre Szmyt as a UDFA.
.. I had to look three times to spell his name properly (such a fuckin' dupa .. lol)

Re: Hub: Justin Fields might not be the guy
Hub Arkush might not be the guy. Sure, we all still want to see #1 throw for 5,000 yards real soon, and there are things to improve (the short throw inaccuracy is kinda weird, but also low hanging fruit in terms of improvement). But shoot, look at some of his long passes and trust what your eyes are...

Re: Bill Lazor to call plays -- how say you?
Generally agree with all and whole-heartedly agree with the preferred game plan against that team. I do think they could have been successful with some screens and some more pocket movement/rollouts - and then that would have helped the inside running game. But to not have 3 TEs out there and run h...

Should Bill Lazor call the offense again?
I think it's a no-brainer now, so it'll probably take 4 more games like this before it happens.
At least it's the Lions at Soldier Field next week.

Re: Preseason Game 3 // Bears @ Titans
ok that TD throw was almost worth sitting through some painful football. Love that almost all of Fields' scrambles, he's looking to throw and not just instantly tucking and running. And even when he does run, his speed adds another factor. I remember there was a play on 2 and 10 where there was nob...

A bit of detail in the article here:

Summary: 5-9 180 but world class speed; unlike many such players he can actually get open and catch (towards the end of the article).

Herbert had a pretty productive 2020 as a Virginia Tech grad transfer (28.0% of the Hokies' yards from scrimmage) after two and a half blah seasons at Kansas (and a row with Les Miles -- I'll default to his side over Miles on that).

Re: I'm dying to hear from you all on these late rounders
I think they view Borom as a depth piece who has something they want to see if they can develop. I've got doubts he's anything, but he certainly has the attitude they want, and appears to have good football character, so time will tell. I think with Borom they wanted to make sure they had the oppos...

Re: So I'm just gonna come out and say I was wrong on Pace
I think you're right about Pace growing in the job. Remember he was only 37 (iirc) when he started. The thing that sticks out to me is that previously with his 1st and 2nd round picks he would often take players who had great measurables, but there tended to be one question or another over their col...

1st round pick was a CB, their 9th defensive player chosen in the 1st round in the last 10 years .. the offensive player being, of course, QB Jordan Love.

Last guesses for #20 !!
This is what I think WILL happen, not necessarily what I think SHOULD happen: Kellen Mond. It'd be a reach, but QB is, as we all know, the most overdrafted position. I also think if Pace can trade down a few spots--like still within the 1st round, for the 5th year option--he will. My second-most-lik...

Re: Bears sign QB Andy Dalton to 1 yr, $10M contract
Is he the Mike Glennon of 2021?
It does suggest that Foles is going to be traded, though. Because why have two expensive backup QBs?
Then again, I'm trying to think about this rationally, which may be a fundamental mistake.
