R.D. Mangles posted:one interesting storyline this season is that the bears have the first pick of the upcoming nfl draft. usually teams take a quarterback there, but the bears feel like they have their guy in fields... so it's possible they might trade the pick to a quarterback-desperate team in exchange for more draft picks! anyone hear anything about this? Sounds pretty contrived, how’d they get the first pick if they have a good QB? Writers are pulling some poo poo imo

xbilkis posted:As a GM I assume I would also like to tell everyone about the cool poo poo I almost pulled off, so I find this to be extremely relatable Yeah pretty much everyone was talking about it as this pie in the sky "what if they actually pulled it off" thing but pretty much nobody thought it was a realistic option. Having him go "well I did try to work out if it could happen but at the end of the day went with something more solid" is cool insight, but you'd have to be real cynical* to think "well he screwed it up since he didn't pull off a historically convoluted double trade". * I believe this is Niwrad's queue

Niwrad posted:And I don't see what criticism of Poles is off. The Bears would get nothing remotely close to the 32nd pick in the draft for Claypool right now. Gordon and Jones would not be 2nd and 3rd round picks if there was a re-draft. All that can change of course, but early returns look bad. "Right now" is probably the key word there. Like yeah, hindsight is always 20/20 , and the Bears gave up the top pick on day 2 (although as mastershakemen already pointed out, there's a key distinction that keeps it from being "essentially a first round pick" like you've stated before) but they had zero way of knowing that when they made the trade on November 1st, 2022 when they were 3 and 5 and looking at a weak WR free agency. It was a desperation move and it hasn't panned out so far, luckily other things have shifted and now we have Moore for our WR1. Of course, you called it bad from the beginning so I guess it wasn't "hindsight" for you, but like some wise people up above stated "if you take that stance you're going to be proven right more often". You've already pre-emptively stated that even if Claypool has a record season it's actually bad for the Bears because then he will just leave in free agency, so no matter what you can say you're right, but it's just kind of exhausting for everyone else.

To be clear I’m not even “defending” it as an objectively good move, especially in hindsight of it being pick 32. I’m saying it’s defensible given the data they had at the time (repeatedly harping on it being a direct trade for pick 32 is highly disingenuous)

IcePhoenix posted:I'm not sure anyone would have predicted the Bears pick would be even close to #1 when they made the trade anyway, didn't they just lose out to finish the season after they made it? I feel like they were like 3-4 or something when it happened so getting a weapon for your young QB to see if you could make some magic happen seems fine to me and ending up in the 10-15 range otherwise would have probably been a more common prediction Yea, they were 3-5, definitely not looking great but not “lose the remaining 8 games while other teams in the league collude to give you the first pick” territory

Sataere posted:They were never going to be a top ten pick. I don't know why people felt that way. Two firsts next year is still really good. From my perspective as someone who doesn't have much knowledge of teams outside the NFC North my entire thought process was "well they are the ninth pick this year and drafting a rookie QB and supposedly gave their best receiver to us, so they will probably be a little worse next year while their QB develops". I fully defer to more knowledgeable people ITT tho and agree that in any case 2 first rounds is still really good EDIT: also probably subconscious Bears fan bias: "teams just get worse and worse each year till everyone gets fired, right?"

xbilkis posted:Indefinite suspensions were for betting on NFL games, 6 game suspensions were for betting on college games from a team facility (which is such horseshit; NFL properties can be decked out in sports gambling ads and literally house sportsbooks, but god forbid a guy place a bet on his phone from the practice building or whatever) Yeah this is such horseshit mixed messaging. Being in the NFL and betting on NFL games I can totally understand being a huge deal because there could be questions of insider knowledge/collusion/rigging etc, but "you can't bet on other leagues/sports while standing 3 feet away from a 100 foot tall billboard about DraftKings that the owners are raking in money over" is loving nonsense

Niwrad posted:I have nothing against Poles. I just don't think GMs should get credit for tearing down teams and "acquiring assets". That's just poo poo on paper and easy to do. I mean, Claypool was their attempt to get the help for Fields that you wanted, and at the time they made the trade they didn't realize they would be giving up the 32nd overall pick or that they were going to be in a position to get DJ Moore. It's not that "some of us won't admit the Claypool trade was bad" since in hindsight it was, it's that people were giving them the benefit of the doubt for taking a calculated risk that didn't pan out (but mostly just because obviously better options became available to them through a series of unforeseeable events after they made the trade)

xbilkis posted:The Bears cause for optimism is the run after the mini-bye where they were putting up ~28 ppg with Fields at QB and generally staying competitive against solid teams even after intentionally gutting the defense HootTheOwl posted:because they were reverse vikings last season, loosing like 10 games by one score, so if Fields improves at all and scores one more point then suddenly they're 13-4 instead of 3-14 Yeah it's these two mainly, plus the last few games likely being intentional tanking. Also I feel like the ceiling being .500 is not an obscene amount of optimism, esp when most people are saying that's "reachable" and most other people are putting their optimistic win total at like 6 or 7. I'm also in line with the Vegas odds and think 6 or 7 games should be what we are reaching for in order to show meaningful progress, but there's going to be a lot of other factors to watch. If the Bears somehow win 10 games but nearly kill Fields doing it I am going to be a lot more disgusted and hopeless than if they only win 5 but keep Fields super healthy and showing progress.

Yeah it's a weirdly worded tweet due to the choice to use "protected" as well as saying Bears fans "travel well" so I initially thought they were afraid that there would be more Bears fans traveling to Germany which would look lopsided for the Super Bowl champions to have fewer fans abroad than KC fans. But I think getting Bears fans money at hotels and nearby businesses is more of the calculation here. It's a loving bummer because I was going to use my 40th birthday being a month before as an excuse to travel to Germany to watch the Bears, definitely not wasting a big birthday trip on fuckin' Kansas City

I don't hate him but I don't want to watch bears games to see if he starts performing well I mean it became exciting to watch Bears games last season specifically because I was waiting for him to break off a 50+ yard touchdown run. Now, I would much rather this was paired with several good passing touchdowns, and rarely it was but hopefully that will change with our new additions to the offense.
