My favorite teams
Nagy called him Robocop. At ND it was Comet.No.
So we have to pick a new nickname. Baby Gronk is still on the team.
So Gronk 3.0?

There is literally no negative comments about Kmet in this thread, closest thing is halftime's unflattering nickname. The criticism is of hacks like Simms lazy comparison or calling him a super star. Reminds me of the Grossman/Favre comparisons after his fast 4 game start to 2006. LTFOL
I thought Kmart was a good one tooI actually forgot about the new nickname: It's Cold Cement.
Cold Cement until proven otherwise!
Hope he never plays to earn the moniker KlemetiaI thought Kmart was a good one too
It was bad taken out of context, but it was the correct move not knowing the Martz would be gone in a year.So I went back to the '70s and four draft rounds deep. Olsen just adds to the embarrassment because we gave him away in his prime. Arguably the worst trade in Bears history.
Amazing how we handled the only good one we drafted before this year.So I went back to the '70s and four draft rounds deep. Olsen just adds to the embarrassment because we gave him away in his prime. Arguably the worst trade in Bears history.

Olsen was coming into a contract year. Olsen, rightfully, was never going to sign an extension to play under the receiving TE averse Martz, the Bears were never going to pay him big money to just block. If they don't trade him he would have been gone for nothing then next offseason.
Martz was an easily predictable horrible move that just got worse when rather than him adapting to his best players, the Bears just shipped them off.
I agree, I think his LV, LVI and LVIII SB MVP's will have the Trubiskites crowing like crazy.You're right. It was more of a bad coaching move that lead to it.
But years later no one remembers that stuff or even cares. Same will happen with Trubisky's draft grades as justification of picking him over the other two super stars.

I haven't given up on Trubisky but I am far from @Noonthirtyjoe confident....you and @Noonthirtyjoe share this.
That's like rolling a 20 sided die with 19 busts and 1 boom.I go into every Bears draft picks the same. They are going to suck until they don’t.
I'm not as confident as you think. The haters constant negative posts make me go the other way. I believe but I would not put money on him. Not with this coach.I haven't given up on Trubisky but I am far from @Noonthirtyjoe confident.
I know, right? Simms gives the kiss of death. Fortunately, he's just finding a fluff story with no real player news in this offseason.
Best part of that article was Pace finding 2 1st rounders in round 2. We may be better off without a 1st, LOL.
You obviously didn’t see him play. Willing acceptable blocker. Also, Smith was a good 1st Round pick and Kmet was actually a 2nd and probably belonged where he was drafted. I can still like that the author thought him a 1. I would have preferred a top T fall to us this draft but they were gone outside of Jones who must have come with some concerns. I doubt we see much production from any of this year’s TEs unless the coaches noticeably limit their responsibilities .Bad part is one of the so called 1st rounders is from Notre Dame AKA NFL bust university, and he can't block for shit, the other one has some injury concerns, but if he can stay healthy, he might be very good.
Wasn't Simms ripping on Mitch? So there's that. While right & wrong at times he's not a gushy rainbows & sprinkles for everyone type.
That said, does Kmet have a mean streak in him? Shaheen, Floyd, and other busts all seem quiet & soft; athletic prowess be damned. NFL stars have that extra edge like Kittle & Kelce. They go out looking to bust skulls. Even with Roquan, Hicks, & Mack kinda quiet off the field, but have a tough mean switch between the lines for sure. Kmet seems fairly reserved so far. Serious question.
Is Kmet a badass in pads?? Hope so, especially if he's to become a great blocker & not just prance around downfield now & then like Shaheen.
