Glad to see a deal get done. Going all MMQB on this, though, it sure is disappointing to look at the state of the offensive line and think about the wasted picks on trading up to draft Patterson and the poor return on Treadwell given the Vikings top two Wr are a 5th rounder and UDFA.

e: holy poo poo

No, because Brady was more like "I don't wanna talk about it" and Tate is saying outright that he doesn't support him.

Tate is a smart and funny dude so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here. A shitload of folks would wear those hats as a joke early in Trump's campaign.

I'm a UW-Mad alumni and I have a Wisconsin hat that's red with white lettering (It says, "W - Wisconsin Fencing") and I've stopped wearing it around because people would shake their heads and mutter darkly when they see me at a distance wearing it.

I'm happy that people in Wisconsin feel strongly enough about the piss nazi to recognize these hats at a distance but a little sad that I probably can't ever wear that cap around ever again in my life. Can't imagine what it's like for Tate who wore the actual cap.

I've always just assumed Jay has no real opinions of his own other than football stuff, and the rest just comes from Kristin. Like with the anti-vax stuff. Not that it makes it any better of course.

I'm mega pumped for the Sanchez experience after Glennon explodes into dust behind these lovely tackles . also the bears need to draft favre's nephew so brett can uncle rico it up on the sidelines

also with Sanchez here the bears definitely are gonna go Mike Williams. they need weapons!!

I would rather have Sanchez start, our passing game might as well be funny while its impotent. Kinda like why Barkley was more fun to watch than Hoyer.

I kind of do also, but only because I want Fox fired.

They really shouldn't have. The problem is that there was no way to improve after they got rid of them.

I'm not a big fan of Tyrod. I think they are in a good position to grab a QB next year, which is a better time to get one.

Agreed, I think the worst move they can make is to jump on one early this year. The rest of the team isn't there yet, it'd be setting him up for failure.

In a perfect world maybe, but what are the odds Pace and Fox will be around if they tank hard enough to get one of the top QBs next year?

I think Pace gets one more hire after John Fox. Because Ownership kinda forced heavily suggested John Fox onto him when he became available.

If Floyd or White or *insert Pick this year* show up, stay healthy and play well Pace is a lock to get a chance hire his own coach. Pace has hit on a couple of later picks even though his First Picks have had injury issues. Jordan Howard is a huge find.

John Fox will get launched though.

The Bears tend to be fairly patient. The Emery/Trestman stuff was the fastest they have given someone the hook and that was because it was a major embarrassment to the entire organization.

Pace will get another coach, unless he really fucks up from a public relations standpoint, which I don't see happening.
