I’m not trying to dispel your ability to discuss a topic you’re passionate about. I even called that out. That’s why we’re all here.
But I will also always call out lazy and tired takes especially from the OP, who essentially curates and frames the topic/discussion, and you provided no real substance to that other than talk about your “feelings” towards the players. How is that supposed to invoke anything other than an eye roll, let alone thoughtful discourse?
You think they can get megathread up before then?
Can we stop regurgitating these same takes 45x a week. OP I appreciate your passion but you’re now Bears Fan #2819 to say this exact sentiment in the last month. If you want to make this a thread worth discussing at least defend your grades on the prospects. Saying “I don’t like them” and “I’m not sold” while then touting lower rated prospects (again with no real analysis) is kinda just word salad imo
Connor Williams is my pipe dream
Nick Foles. Well, technically it was his third leg but point still stands!
He’s done it exactly one time
He’s has as many hits as misses (maybe slightly leaning +) If anything it’s about even for me
Well the only way to win that game is with a better coaching staff. And a better coaching staff won’t want to be hamstrung to Fields over their “own guy”. So you can’t have one without the other. That’s the decision we’re facing. Add all the “context” in the world, but it boils down to that at the root.
Y’all try and add way too much “context” for fields. We were all here at some point. But seriously if you need a perfect situation every time then you don’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore. He’s got 7 weeks to prove you right or you’ll be rooting for him on the falcons.
The second crop of receivers is just as talented as the top edge and OT2/3 group. MHJ and Olu are kinda ahead of their respective packs (Bowers too but who knows if he’s considered top 10 or not cause of position) but these overall position classes are very deep at Tackle and receiver.
Ok at least look at Nabers before saying this. He’s worthy of the second tier you listed in there
The only thing I’ve seen from him or his staff that’s slightly redeemable is his second half defensive adjustments (defense only not offense) and often times that doesn’t matter cause our base scheme is the most archaic in the league and teams have known how to exploit it for years.
Outside of that. I haven’t seen 1 thing that he does well if not better than the top half of the league. This is the most pivotal offseason for the bears in a decade and we’re gonna fuck it all up just like always. So what does it even matter that we’re talking about this?
And they lost Brian Burns for the season
Unfortunately they play each other at some point
Cards won’t pick in the top 5 imo
I’m here for as many center prospects we can find
One thing to point out as well is that none of those teams will likely have head coach openings. I think Bill will get another year or 2 (unless this trade to Wsh rumor has some legs) and the rest have hired coaches this year or last.
If MHJ is off the board and we’ve taken a qb with the Car pick then wr is still very much a need and Nabers or Coleman should be considered towards the back of the top 10
If Megatron gets to use stickum like Jerry did then I’m taking every day of the week
