Yeah, none of that matters. The Sox were entering a rebuild and Adam Eaton, an “above-average” outfielder, was traded for what turned out to be one of the Cy Young favorites of 2021 who’s 26 years olds. I don’t really care what Eaton did in Washington. The Sox, or any team does that trade every day of the week, twice on Sundays.

It was a joke. I would hope no one actually is still wondering if the Sox “won” the Eaton for Giolito trade...

Great.

I was agreeing with you.

The guy has a 5.93 ERA in his last 210 IP. He has no business logging any type of significant innings for a team looking to compete. None.

So they are totally fine to continue to kick the can down the road.....so much for the rebuild.

The Madrigal one I agree with, he’s taken way too much heat around here. I feel like most are pulling for Collins? And Eaton...I don’t know. In terms of Lopez and Rodon being “on deck”....they both have been fairly terrible in their White Sox careers...especially when you consider where Rodon was drafted.

This team goes as far as Dylan Cease and Dallas Keuchle take them. Those are the two keys for the season, in my opinion.

You.....telling someone else to relax?

Eh don’t worry about that, Ace. This is the Bears. They’ll coach him up, it’s called DEVELOPMENT. They’ll get him into Halas, turn him into an NFL QB in short order. Have some faith in these guys........ ????

No no no. And this is what I don’t understand Jason. Hear me out. Let’s go back to Monday. Nick Foles is currently the only “starting QB” on the roster. Almost everyone is in agreement they have to draft a QB in Round 1 or Round 2. So....that’s two QB’s in Foles and the rookie. At that point...there are two ways you can go in my eyes. 1. Trade the farm for Russ or Watson, your draft capital is gone for like 5 years but you have a franchise QB. You get crazy with the cap, do whatever you can do to win in the next 5 years. 2. You can’t acquire an established star QB. At that point, I stick to the plan of drafting a QB in the 2021 Draft, and Nick Foles is my Opening Day starter. It’s very rare these days for QB’s to be drafted in the first round and not play the year they were drafted. Just doesn’t really happen anyone, outside of Love and Mahomes. So if/when Foles goes down, it’s time for Trey Lance or Mac Jones. Additionally, if you are rebuilding, then start taking the cap hits now. Cut Hicks. Cut Fuller. Bottom out. Get a high draft pick this season. Stop picking 18th. Start over. Hit on the QB you are drafting this year and next year draft an LT at No. 5 or something. Build around this new QB. This is why I don’t understand what they are doing. They had to know Fuller and Hicks were going to be cut/traded. Those are not “winning” moves those are “We’re taking a step backwards next year, we need to sort of reset here.” Fine...I’m cool with that. But then why are you “in theory” upgrading your QB position with a 33 year old Andy Dalton when you have a 32 year old Nick Foles on the roster, who’s cap hit is upside down and you can’t cut? Why are you trying to get better at QB and a lot worse on D? What are we doing here?

They knew they were releasing Hicks and Fuller. They HAD to know that. So for the 8,576th time....WHAT ARE YOU SIGNING ANDY DALTON FOR?!?

The good news is the Bears have a combo of Andy Dalton and Nick Foles at QB, not to mention Ryan Pace might trade up in the draft, again, to find the next QB for the Bears. Get excited, Chicago!

Sorry @Chisoxfn but if you’re hoping for a playoff team in 2021.....good luck.

Bye Kyle! Hope Andy was worth it!

Does anyone else use Plex or something similar? Big fan and been building out my library but sort of coming to a wall where I just don't know what else to add. Anyone got any good personal lists of favorite movies or their collections?

First shot done!

He is 100% doing this by phone, and it's hilarious.

I agree with a lot of those points. I don't know why I'm so frustrated because I'm not even a "die-hard" Bears fan but I'm around the Chicago sports scene so much it's hard to avoid. I'm not going to keep repeating myself, I just can't believe how they backed themselves in this corner. The only way this gets fixed (and I guess realistically it's always been the only way) is finding a franchise QB you can build around. If we all agree on that.........Pace should NOT be able to pick the next one. Full stop.

Because this isn’t a “young” roster and I don’t see many key players taking big steps forward...if anything I see them taking steps backwards (Mack, Hicks, etc). I also think Dalton/Foles are going to get DESTROYED behind a very bad O-Line. I mean, we all knew 5-1 was an absolute mirage last season. We were waiting for the shoe to drop..and it did when they went 3-7 to end the year, and look awful in the Playoff game they snuck into it.

Really think they've lost me at this point. It's just so pointless. What evidence do we have, even small trace amounts, that this organization, starting with George and Ted, have any idea what they are doing? As you said, it's just the same thing over and over and over and over again. Enough is enough.
