It's really insane to me that the dated rear end, unpopular views of septuagenarians still are such a dominant force in our society.

If only the bears had read this yesterday. quote:At UNC, he showed a quick release, plus accuracy, and was surprisingly slippery in the pocket. Poor pocket awareness from edge rushers, how he sometimes panics under pressure, and limited experience are his biggest weaknesses. http://nflbreakdowns.com/mitch-trubisky-film-video-breakdown-scouting-report-north-carolina-quarterback-nfl-draft-2017/

I was bar crawling in Philly since the tent City ran out of beer. The bar I was in started mercilessly mocking the one Bears fan for that trade and he looked like he just lost his kids' college fund on a horse. I had a good chat with a Browns fan who seemed like a genuinely nice and hopeful guy, the poor bastard.

That’s because, according to Trubisky, the Bears only worked him out once, and never communicated with him in the weeks leading up to the draft.

He has an interest outside of football? Obviously he doesn't care enough about the sport. He should have slid into the fifth round. How can we be sure he'll stay in the league long enough

It's pretty brilliant by the 49ers/dumb as poo poo by the Bears My friend and I were joking that they were going to immediately call the Jags and go "wow that leonard fournette guy! Pretty great guy! We're pretty happy we'll be calling him a San Francisco 49er soon!" because the Jags taking Fournette was so transparent

I was watching with my brother-in-law, who is a lifelong die hard Bears fan, and as soon as we saw the Bears logo and the trade graphic I yelled TRUBISKY (half joking) and he got this real panicked look on his face. When Goodell said the word, he let out a gently caress that echoed through the mountains of Arizona. The only thing funnier was what they gave up for him. I'm still in shock.

It's pretty brilliant by the 49ers/dumb as poo poo by the Bears The Bears were getting calls about moving up. I mean 3 teams traded up for QB's this year. There were clearly calls being made about moving up for QB's. I don't think they gave up all that much. They gave up 3 picks. a third, a 4th(they have another 4th this year), and next years third. They gave up about the value of the difference between the 3rd and the second pick in the draft, according to whatever those value of a draft pick for trade charts thing.

If Mitch works out then none of that matters. If he sucks then he sucks. and all you lose is a bad GM/Coach and 3 lottery tickets.

It's extremely likely this will blow up in their face and get everyone fired. But I appreciate the boldness after years of not drafting QB's and being mediocre to bad at the position. And holy loving poo poo my dude. Is this your first year watching the NFL? Because literally last year there was a worse trade. The Bears didn't mortgage their entire future, and chance at top flight talent. They took a flyer with 3 picks in the mid round. Other teams have been outchea giving up future first and second round picks. Texans had two trades that when combined this year are loving hilarious.

I can see the rationale in the hail mary pick to save jobs if it works, but it is kinda odd to me to hitch your wagon to a pick like this that may not see the field in what could potentially be the last year for Fox and company.

It is clear to me, at least, that Glennon is the bridge to the "bright future" that is Trubisky. The coaches and GM in Chicago will be fired long before Trubisky ever plays a loving down of football, barring an injury to Glennon.

Chilichimp posted:For real, THE FALCONS GAVE UP WHAT FOR JULIO JONES?!?!?!?!?! I think the Julio trade was a good deal. The Falcons were a strong team and it traded long-term success for short-term payoff and it worked on both accounts--they immediately benefit, but boy did they pay for the dearth of picks a couple of years later. That said, they were already a good team. But let me flip it. Near as I can tell, in the last 20 or so years, several teams have traded up to get a QB. How many have been successful? The Giants with Eli, if you want to count that one then OK sure, I'll give you that one. Who else? Maaaaybe the Falcons with Vick? Since the AFL/NFL merger, teams have traded up for a QB 12 times (13 w/Eli), and near as I can tell, only 2 (3 w/Eli) have won a playoff game for their team. Part of it might possibly be that when you get your franchise QB, you may also want to put a few good players around him to help him succeed, but I'm just spitballing here.

I feel like I have to reiterate that Trubisky only worked out for the Bears once and they never communicated with him until right before they drafted him. Add in the fact that John Fox hates rookie QBs and you have someone who is set up for failure.

Yes. Glennon is a stop gap on a great deal(consecutive one year deals), Glennon is the starter this year and there are 3 outcomes; He either proves he sucks , He's mediocre/gets injured, or he plays good /great(lmao). If he sucks, then back to free agency he goes. If he's mediocre/injured he gets brought back and competes with Mitch. If he's good/great(lmao), He's brought back as the starter Mitch sits another year, and you maybe start looking into trade options for Mitch, and you keep him as a backup for the time being. This probably buys Pace extra time. And gives Pace a reasoning in the offseason to shitcan Fox with the cover of getting an offensive mind in here to mold the young QB.
