Yes. He will determine what sideline we throw all of our 3rd and 11 WR screens to. Very important job.

Nagy is hiring guys to insulate himself and will scapegoat them when he has another dismal season trying to be the next Don "Air" Coryell.

McCaskey's aren't going to eat 2 years of his contract. He fired 3 on his staff because he scapegoated them. Nagy is a stubborn asshole who wanted to do shit his way or the hiway and wont run the fckng ball to help the team win or help Paces shit pick at QB..Doesn't matter how many people he hires, he will never win with that arrogant mindset..

I hope he's a better QB coach than OC. His offenses were as bad as ours.

if they discuss things, then no doubts they should scrap that junk. It was alarming and pitiful in 2019.

Is water wet? |
| Question Date: 2018-01-04 |
| Answer 1: Being a liquid, water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials wet. Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material. Whether an object is wet or dry depends on a balance between cohesive and adhesive forces. Cohesive forces are attractive forces within the liquid that cause the molecules in the liquid to prefer to stick together. Cohesive forces are also responsible for surface tension. If the cohesive forces are very strong, then the liquid molecules really like to stay close together and they won't spread out on the surface of an object very much. On the contrary, adhesive forces are the attractive forces between the liquid and the surface of the material. If the adhesive forces are strong, then the liquid will try and spread out onto the surface as much as possible. So how wet a surface is depends on the balance between these two forces. If the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are bigger than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material becomes wet, and the liquid tends to spread out to maximize contact with the surface. On the other hand, if the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are smaller than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material is dry, and the liquid tends to bead-up into a spherical drop and tries to minimize the contact with the surface. Water actually has pretty high cohesive forces due to hydrogen bonding, and so is not as good at wetting surfaces as some liquids such as acetone or alcohols. However, water does wet certain surfaces like glass for example. Adding detergents can make water better at wetting by lowering the cohesive forces . Water resistant materials such as Gore-tex fabric is made of material that is hydrophobic (water repellent) and so the cohesive forces within the water (liquid-liquid) are much stronger than the adhesive force (liquid-solid) and water tends to bead-up on the outside of the material and you stay dry. |
| Answer 2: To answer this question, we need to define the term "wet." If we define "wet" as the condition of a liquid sticking to a solid surface, such as water wetting our skin, then we cannot say that water is wet by itself, because it takes a liquid AND a solid to define the term "wet." If we define "wet" as a sensation that we get when a liquid comes in contact with us, then yes, water is wet to us. If we define "wet" as "made of liquid or moisture", then water is definitely wet because it is made of liquid, and in this sense, all liquids are wet because they are all made of liquids. I think that this is a case of a word being useful only in appropriate contexts. So no I am not going to tell you water is wet because scientifically it isn't. The surface water interacts with may become wet because wetness is the ability of a liquid (water) to stick to a surface/solid. So your skin may be wet when it interacts with water but if your skin was completely water proof and the water just slid off your skin then your skin would not be wet. |

Yawn, I remember when we hired Helfrich and people were happy too. When we hired Hiestand, people were happy too. Some people are always happy. Doesn't mean anything. It is like being happy that you have the best seat on the deck of the Titanic as it sinks.
Having said that, if you want to grasp at what little hope there is then by all means do so. However, your hope is no better than someone else's pessimism as neither wins games. So getting a bit pissy that others are tired are hope and want real results is a bit much. To each his/her own.

They did with the last two coaches, so there's no reason to believe they won't do it again if needed.

There’s a lot of QB guys in the coaching staff now. I don’t think it’s all about trying to ‘make Mitch good’, it’s also about targeting, and evaluating players for, this position in free agency and the draft.
Pace cannot rely on Mitch to keep him his job & he’s thrown mud to see what sticks before, so I think we’re taking a QB in the draft as well as free agency/trade.
I wouldn’t 100% rule out a move for Foles because of the money either, if there’s a Tannehill-like restructure. The Jags will have to eat a ton of money but it’d be within their interest to even make a moderate cap saving, I think they’re projected to be over as it stands.

^ Can any of us actually say there's ever been solid talent at each at the same time?? There's always dogshit at one or more positions at any given point in time with Bears' offenses...yes including QB play.
Too stubborn to eat Leno & Massie's contracts for this year? Let em ride pine at most please.
He didn't run much because he couldn't. Some was totally his bad play-calling, but mostly dogshit OL run blocking. Still threw DM some bones here & there to try keeping D honest, but it was a damn joke. Tape Never Lies. Total dogshit run blocking. Terrible shit of nightmares and misery.

Foles fits this offense about as well as a fat chick fits into skinny jeans.
Spending 20m on foles instead of 20m on oline would be a huge mistake.

Happy has nothing to do with it. What else should have been done besides hiring Bill Belichick? Optimism and Pessimism are just mindsets. I dont bitch about everything i disagree with so apperently that makes me optimistic.

I'm just happy to be rid of Helfrich. Never liked that hire for a
HC that needed more grounding. The rest is gravy. We just don't know how lumpy yet. Defillipo as QB coach is good hire as he's low enough on the totem pole and very qualified for this role. I like Ragone so retaining him gets a thumbs up.
I thought Heistadt was going to be a solid hire so what do I know other than Kreutz loved the guy? After last year, I'm thrilled that they made a change there. It literally couldn't get any worse. I have a wait and see on Lazor but there is little doubt that he's an significant upgrade. Problem is, he only needs to be meh for that to be the case.
