Chisoxfn Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Gronk is back. Traded to Bucs (re-unites with Brady). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) If Gronk costs a 4th, would you trade a 5th for OJ Howard? IMO Pace should be on the phone with Tampa's GM immediately. Edited April 21, 2020 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 most of the bears mocks I've seen have two round 2 trade backs. Big must for me tomorrow. Take advantage of depth in CB/WR and get more picks to tackle line/edge/safety/te Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take advantage of depth in CB/WR and get more picks to tackle line/edge/safety/te I would love trade backs and a draft where we got 2 wideouts and a TE that were rated high plus a CB. But honestly, I'm entirely focused on the skill positions on offense and I'd probably try to be aggressive on the veteran front to get a CB. The team has major depth needs at corner. IF Fuller were to go down...oh my. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi Town Sox Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Would've been great if we held onto that 4th pick and just signed Dalton but...hindsight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no NFL GM, but I don't mind giving up a 4th round pick for a QB has won in the playoffs and is 31. Just hope he can be healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has worse WR's, better OL and better RB than Trubisky had last year yet wasn't much better. It's apparent no one was willing to give up anything for him. I can't imagine he's much of an upgrade.

It's becoming pretty obvious that OJ Howard isn't very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The national perspective is that the Bears are awful. Power rankings range from 23rd to 29th at worst, with the average being 25th. It's always interesting to get a national perspective on the teams I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a defense like that it's hard to see them being one of the 9 worst teams in the NFL. As much as I want to see them win a Super Bowl and not waste another great D, I just don't think the offense is close to good enough, so if the 9th picks gets them Fields, Lance or Newman, so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their offense played like last year - They are probably a top 20 team. Only way I see them in the bottom 10 is if they have significant injuries to their defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is saying they are the 29th for power ranking they are a Packer fan looking to create controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen what he's seeing. A lot of outlets, big or small, are low (too low) on the Bears going into 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) I was listening to Rosenbloom today and JJ Stankevitz was on saying that Pace is going to get another QB........I don't like that. The team is cap fucked anyway in the next couple years and they're going to lose a lot of guys soon. Pace bet everything on Mitch...and lost. Time to go. Then again, I'm the VP of the Fire Pace club.....so.......maybe I'm biased. Edited May 2, 2020 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 So, how does everyone feel about them declining the 5th year option on Trubisky? It seems like they don’t want to pay that price tag and want Trubisky to prove it this year. If he performs well and Foles flounders, maybe they renegotiate a new deal with Trubisky.

I think it’s throwing in the towel on him and Foles is clearly their likely starter if a season happens. That 5th year is not guaranteed against him being bad, they could still cut him for that, it’s only an injury guarantee. It would be a lot of money if he got hurt, but if you had any confidence in him being a starter this year you pick that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The franchise tag, if he suddenly becomes worth the money, is only about $2 million more than this option. Kyle Long said it once he was acquired, Foles is the starter. Mitch is only going to play if Foles gets hurt or sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
