I’m not going to pretend Dexter is better than Carter. But not going to ignore he took a huge leap from year one to year two. I think he’s developing nicely

Yea, dexter improved a lot this year. One of few players on this roster that did so. If he makes a similar leap in 2025 then he should be a fringe pro bowl level player, which is excellent with a late 2nd round pick.

When Carter started off year playing poorly, Daniel blamed it on Fangio moving Carter to DE full-time. Snap counts actually showed he only played about 6% of his snaps at that time at DE lol.

I really doubt he even watches the bears that much based on what he says. His newest fucking hot take is that cam scootybooty is a better RB than ashton jeanty(prob due to skin color).

Hey rabbit ears, the whole board did not tout Dexter over Carter and it's not the issue anyway.

From training camp when Dexter did the DE conditioning test to about week 6 there was a weekly thread about how great Dexter is. Every Monday morning a new Dexter post directly comparing his start with Carter.

Then Dexter closed out the year with one sack in his last 10 starts and the entire went dead about Dexter's so called success.

Now that it's off season arguing season where the Bears are Super Bowl champions of winning the off season we're back to touting how great Dexter is. It's laughable. Dexter's impact is minimal.

OK. Were there 1000 of those each Monday? Big board with outspoken people like you. Most don't have rabbit ears and play me against the world and are then surprised when the world actually responds in kind.

Dexter is a good player and he’s ascending. Wright is a good player and he’s ascending.

You’re just eating yourself up trying to be right.

Maybe you should start a podcast and see if you can monetize it.

I’ll see if I can line up McDonald’s as a sponsor.

Who is better Dexter or Osa Odighizuwa from Dallas? If Odighizuwa hits the open free agent market what should the Bears do to acquire him since they need DT depth.

I didn’t watch enough Cowboys football to make an educated assessment. You would be wise to follow a similar philosophy.

"The world" only shows up when things are going well or it's the off season and there's no direct evidence of shitty play directly in front of their face.

This board is the biggest group of front running off season cheerleaders of any team in the NFL.

Regardless of Dexter, Billings isn't healthy and the depth is shit.

The Bears have to fix the offensive and defensive lines AGAIN in one off season and are trusting Ryan Poles to do it.

I know Billings is a good player but it's ignorant to count on him coming off of a torn pectoral muscle.

Dexter does have a higher pressure rate than carter.

That isnt a made up PFF stat

The difference is that carter dominates in crunch time when the game matters more, and makes more impact plays.

Carter is also more impactful against the run.

That doesnt mean dexter still isnt a good player with the potential to be great also. Your own stupid fat donut self said DT's/OL take 3-4 years to fully develop, but im not shocked your brain damage prevented you from remembering your prior hot takes.
Pressures are essentially made up stats and I never heard of them before PFF. Getting within 3 yards of the QB contains such a wide range of outcomes, it's pretty meaningless to give someone the same credit for something that has such widely differing outcomes.

That said obviously Dexter took some strides this year and hopefully he can make some more improvements this year.

Just one slight disagreement....Carter doesn't always dominate in crunch time.....Ex: Dec. 22nd vs Redskins.....he'll have a chance today to change that vs the same Redskins team. Didn't do s*^t vs the Packers in the playoffs either. But overall, we're on the same page with America's Favorite Serial Killer. He's just a notch below being one of the best in the league. But I'll take that. And as you and Remydat have mentioned in posts, when Billings was lined up next to him, AFSK was playing at All-Pro level.

Please discuss cordially unless of course you have witty insults to use. I’m sorry if this destroys some of the narratives that he took a step back this year. But he’s quietly ascending to the elite tier of RT’s in the league with awful coaching and a QB that lacks understanding of the importance of getting the ball out.
I am not knocking Wright but in this day and age you can come up with complex formulas and numbers that make a pile of shit look like a dozen roses. My eye test said he did not play as well this past year as his rookie year.
