Chris James 2 posted:In a league where you've seen the Saints for years, I don't know how you could still worry about the cap. Ever Like Dexo said, you can not worry about the cap for about 10 years. Eventually all those cans you kicked down the road fiddling with the cap get piled up and you spend 3-4 years in absolute cap hell until you can start over again. The Saints aren't in a good position to compete right now because they're just trying to figure out ways to get under the cap just to cover their current roster, let alone adding the pieces they need to be better. They're lucky they're in a terrible division.

CharlestheHammer posted:What your describing right here is how literally every team already operates. Being competitive then entering a rebuild once that window shuts. It’s not a particularly new or even avoidable thing Well good teams do that. I’m just annoyed because people always spout out, “the cap isn’t real”, when that is only the case for a little bit, then it becomes very very real. People act like you can put that poo poo off in perpetuity.

After much meditation I have decided I really like the trade. I was hoping for a pick somewhere around 5-6 this year, but getting Moore is a big get. My guess is Panthers pick is in the middle of the draft next year, which is still really nice. Bears fill a big need already and set up to fill a few more needs in the draft.

Carolina could be playing a long game where they trade up to 1 with the hopes that Houston will now try to trade with them to move up to that spot, and Carolina still likely gets their guy. I have no clue who Houston has been favoring though.

mastershakeman posted:i was thinking this was an exaggeration, but any qb better than trubs gets you past philly, new orleans, the Rams (who the bears had already destroyed) and then that lovely new england team that beat the rams 13-3 They wouldn’t have even played Philly. They were lone win in the regular season from getting a bye. They lost to GB by 1, and Miami and the NYG in OT. They would’ve won at least one of those games with Mahomes, possibly all three and gotten the 1 seed. That whole season was a series of just missed wins.

This poo poo is how you grow your brand and I feel like Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles would be about that. Yea the new stadium 10 years in the future will be compelling. Agreed on the other stuff though, this feels like a year where the r bears make sense to be on hard knocks.

Better than Herbert in both areas. This actually has a good comparison. https://www.dabearsblog.com/2023/how-valuable-is-david-montgomery-part-2 The Bears might actually miss him as a safety outlet receiver.

Seems like a decent trade for both teams. Jets don't completely cripple themselves for a guy who will likely only play 1-2 more years. If they think Rodgers was their last piece to make a serious Super Bowl run, then they have their piece. If he doesn't work out, then they can reset in a couple years and try again.

I can’t read the article, but since the bears just bought the property, doesn’t everyone know exactly what the property is worth? Unless he’s assessing it way higher than the purchase price, seems like an easy thing to calculate.

Jimmys pizza cafe in chicago does NYC style and it is very good. The real appeal to NY style is just picking up a slice, both chicago styles are not really conducive to getting a quick slice. I’d still take deep dish, tavern style, or Detroit style pizza over NY style though, if given a choice.

You might be right. I just remember it closed suddenly and without warning, which is usually a sign that they ran out of money. Probably a combo of both because if you’re getting bought out, usually there’s an announcement ahead of time, not just posting a sign in the door that we’re closed.

Yea I give the bears like a 1% chance of moving on from Arlington. Maybe if Naperville or wherever decided to give them a shitload of land for free, but I don’t see that happening. They’re just trying to get relief from Arlington, and I hope they just tell the bears to pound sand.
