bmags Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 One thing that worries me about Dexter and to some extent pickens, while I totally see why bears drafted him and was someone that followed Brugler so their value seemed normal... The draft picks that bears fans have hated have all tended to be pretty bad. They hated Floyd. They hated Trubs. I remember a feeling of hate for our Ashford TE but I don't even remember his name anymore. They hated...not getting george pickens and were probably right and, you know, jury is still out on Gordon. While draft picks people have loved have a middling success rate (the love was kinda strong for Riley Ridley), it does make me nervous. But I like that it gives a pretty clear thing to look for. Can Eberflus/coaches actually mold a raw athletic guy like htis? He's less of a project than Dominique Robinson. Can they convert one of these guys to a long-term starter?

Adam Shaheen (baby Gronk as some said). I wanted to see more of Ridley but I also wondered if I wanted that because of what I saw with his brother and how much they lacked talent at wide receiver. They need to hit on these picks and have some of them become long term starters. One draft won’t fix everything, but it makes subsequent drafts easier if more players pan out.

Yeah, need at least 2 of the first four picks to be long-term, and hopefully 2 of their 4th round or later ones. That would be a very good draft. And ideally we find we have some plus starters soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 While 2 thursdays after sundays is rough, I do feel like having a young team should help, esp because it offers those "mini byes". Bears got a lot out of their post-washington mini-bye last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I already circled the bears chargers Sunday night game as the game the bears become contenders haha. That said - that is a perfect night for my kids to see their first pro football game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Since then, Shannon Sharpe liked another tweet that contains a frontal assault on Skip Bayless. Sharpe has clicked the little heart on this tweet from Dan Clark, a baseball writer with more than 50,000 followers: “Shannon Sharpe has outgrown Skip Bayless. He is far superior. He has a wonderfully bright future ahead. Bayless, meanwhile, won’t find another partner. His career will nosedive because he is a piece of s%*#.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Jenkins had some bumps last training camp before having a great season. Bears clearly used those to set/make a hard line stance with Teven around expectations etc. Those seem to be paying off…maybe this is the same with Claypool. Hopefully a year from now we are talking about him coming off a killer season and a strong offseason of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave him a little bit more than the tag. it’s very weird, I wonder if the team said take it or leave it, if you leave it then we are gonna end up prorating the tag amount after your holdout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears have the cap space to pay him and the draft picks to make a trade. Get it done. Ehhhhh, I'll pass. He's 32 and the Bears, on paper at least, are good at guard. Kmet signed an extension. 3 years 50 million with 34 guaranteed. I like it. Kmet last year, on a team that threw it less than any other team in the league finished 13th in yards, 3rd in TDs, and among the top 13 TEs he finished 5th in YPC. Arguably a top 10 TE with those numbers last year, I think this year he makes an unquestionable leap into the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Mongo McMichael just made it to the final 12 for the HOF. If he's ever going to get in, they should do it now. Waiting much longer, he will probably not be around, and that would be BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
