overpaying for QBs has happened before the Brock signing and will continue to happen. Matt Stafford got $41m guaranteed before playing a single snap, though that was before rookie contracts got reworked and it was worth it. Dumb GMs will refuse to have coaches sign off on FA acquisitions, convince themselves that THIS is the guy to take them all the way, pitchfork some money into a truck to be driven to that person's house, and we will continue to sup from the well of comedy and sure, maybe the Bears won't give him a contract with multiple guaranteed years, but the 49ers and the Jets and the Browns and you get it, there are teams with nothing at QB and guaranteed failure until they have someone decent under center. It's only a matter of time before a desperate team with more cap room than sense goes hard after *rolls the dice* Jimmy Garoppolo

Sataere posted:Yeah and as has been repeatedly stated, it was a once in a generation contract for a relatively unknown commodity at quarterback that blew up in the Texans face. Do you think it is possible you might be jumping the gun by declaring this is "a once in a generation contract" before even a single year has passed since it was signed?

You could clearly see how Minnesota's crowd noise was getting to the Cowboys. People underrate that stadium but from what I've read it easily rivals the Seahawks in terms of noise.

So Trumaine Johnson signed his Franchise Tender for 16.7m dollars. I'm not 100% on how this works, but now even if the Rams and him come to agreement on a new contract that would be an extension on this year which is 16.7m no matter what correct?

And by your logic, #1 overall pick Sam Bradford was worth every penny of his rookie contract.  And I am not saying someone isn't going to fall in love or overpay. I'm just saying that we shouldn't use a statistical anomaly as a frame of reference. Chichevache posted:Do you think it is possible you might be jumping the gun by declaring this is "a once in a generation contract" before even a single year has passed since it was signed? Absolutely. I could be very wrong and Rick Smith was the harbinger of a new generation of front office ineptitude. We could bear witness to a glorious new utopia of sports related comedy. I just need it to happen more than once to believe it.

The way I see it, just one more year of Fox and then we should have a real coach. Also, gently caress you bitch-rear end quitters. There is no way this is the hardest stretch of Bears football you've experienced. Were none of you around for Wanny?

I've figured it out. The Bears are going to let Cutler and Alshon go. Then since they need a QB and WR they'll take Glennon for roughly Cutler's price and draft Mike Williams at #3 since Glennon needs weapons! Can't spend $15m on a qb with no weapons after all. it just makes sense.

Alcoholism ages you fast, between the Seahawks and Redskins pics it isn't unbelievable that he's on the wagon. That last one he does have a pretty red face but that could just be from dealing with Dan Snyder regularly. ... Yeah he's probably in the middle of a 3 month bender.
