Re: Update: DT Larry Ogunjobi fails physical, contract voided

C) I don't want to overpay for a slightly above average G, you just made that one up You named names - thats who they are - thats what they were paid.

Re: Update: DT Larry Ogunjobi fails physical, contract voided

You guys seem content to let Fields get his ass kicked all over the field again next year - many of you are the same ones that were worried about Fields getting killed behind our shit OL last year and didn't want to play him "until the OL showed they could protect him". Not me - I didn't ...

Re: Update: DT Larry Ogunjobi fails physical, contract voided

A) In terms of adding an IMPACT player at these position, I believe it was an absolute choice. I don't think we could have done two splash signings this offseason. B) It's not a 1 year process with Fields, but it's not a 4 year process either (which is our "rookie wage window"). Year 2 of...

Re: WOW! Give our new GM and Coach a Chance !

I think I get the split on the board now. Everyone agrees that this will be a lost season in terms of competing and everyone is on board with that. Everyone understands the need to turn this roster over, build through the draft, shed contracts, etc. Where the split seems to happen is that some are ...

Re: Lions, Jets Competing with Bears for WR in draft

Olave would be so great for JF1. I wish he was bigger and think Poles would prefer one of the bigger guys like Watson or Pickets that have size and speed. I'll guess Poles would pick Olave first though because of his success and experience with JF1. But if it isn't Olave I do think it will be anoth...

Re: Bears Sign WR Byron Pringle (Ex-Chief)

I mean - based on market - he kind of was a Top 10 FA, no? Yes - he's definitely a top 10 paid FA WR. That doesn't mean he's better than someone making less, or top 10 in performance. Why anyone would pay him last year is beyond me. I guess it's for McNagy-based reasons and effectively giving him a...

Re: Bears Sign WR Byron Pringle (Ex-Chief)

Personally, I think it's the height of folly to govern your offseason in general with the rather esoteric rules of the Compensatory Pick formula, but it's particularly so when you have to make wholesale additions to both your offense and your defense. If they've proven themselves, we're going to ei...

"And as of right now, even spending a 3rd on OL, we will field an OL worse than last years OL," I disagree here Huh? This is not a credible statement. We added Lucas Patrick at 2yr/8M (should give some pause to projecting greatness from him). Either G or C, he can't play both. We lost Jam...

Re: Lions, Jets Competing with Bears for WR in draft

The main hope on Olave being there - Is also an argument for trading down too There are a lot of talented WR - A team might have him near the top of their board - but might have a OT or another position there too - And can reasonably think - Well I can grab a good WR in Round 2 or 3 - but this other...

Re: Lions, Jets Competing with Bears for WR in draft

I don’t know about Olave, I don’t think he’ll fall to #39 and I think he may be a bit overrated. I prefer Christian Watson who I think will be there at 39, perhaps lower. Alternatives which may also be there are Alex Pierce and George Pickins. I would take Olave at 39, but if Watson and Pierce are ...

Trade down makes sense if we have a bunch of closely rated talent when we are up, at the positions we are targeting. But you don’t do it just to do it, if a guy is there you take him. We don’t see the draft boards ahead of time so we have no ability to critique these decisions during the draft - we...

Re: Update: DT Larry Ogunjobi fails physical, contract voided

What were Mooney and Herbert? 5th/6th rounders? It’s not a given that all your starters have to come in the first 2 rounds. True, you may hit on a late pick but that likely offsets a 2/3rd rd pick that misses. It’s not a reasonable expectation or plan to count on more than 1-2, MAYBE 3 starters fro...
