What difference does it make where the draft capital came from? Fact is they spent more draft capital than they received to draft a much lesser regarded replacement AND gave up 2 additional picks.Almost all of your argument is pure bullshit.
‘The best player I ever coached’: Sam LaPorta looks to uphold Hawkeyes’ TEU legacy
Iowa does the tight end thing pretty well — maybe the best. You know the names: Clark, Kittle, Fant and Hockenson. Now it’s time to meet the next great Iowa tight end — Sam LaPort…www.ourquadcities.com
Iowa's coach says LaPorta is the best TE he has ever coached. For the record, both Kittle and Hock also came from Iowa. Also, the pick used on LaPorta was draft capital gained by trading down in the first.
Saying the Bears replaced 'Quan with a less costly replacement in Edmund's is laughable, because you fail to address the cost savings of LaPorta over Hock. What a fucking dipshit.
Agreed, my point was that injuries early don't always mean the end of a good career.Last season Jenkins played in 13 games and started 11 and ended up excelling at a position (RG) that he had never played before. I would say he consistently played at a high level last year.
Marc Colombo had a solid career mostly with the Cowboys. The only thing similar between Colombo and Jenkins was losing most of their rookie years to injury. Jenkins was a back injury and Colombo suffered a dislocated kneecap and damaged his femoral nerve, which at the time appeared to be a career ender. I give Colombo a ton of credit for coming back from that injury and playing 3+ years for the Bears and 6+ years for the Cowboys and Dolphins.

I don't think Scott will have much of a role at WR for the Bears this season. It takes time for rookie WR's to develop in this system.
It doesn’t take long to come in and run some 9 routes and he’s going to get a chance to do that.I don't think Scott will have much of a role at WR for the Bears this season. It takes time for rookie WR's to develop in this system.
Perhaps............but the top three WR's who know this system are the players that will get the bulk of the targets. Tyler Scott as a rookie will filter in anywhere from the Bears 4th to 6th WR on the depth chart to start this season.It doesn’t take long to come in and run some 9 routes and he’s going to get a chance to do that.
There’s absolutely no question about that unless there is an injury above him.Perhaps............but the top three WR's who know this system are the players that will get the bulk of the targets.

Wright never saw any targets until after Hock left, that comparison is stupid.No you cant read. An offense can be good and still stand to be better. Hock left after 7 games and still finished as the Lions leading receiver at TE. He had 395 yards in 7 games. Wright had 216 in 17. He finished with 914 yards receiving which is 700 yards more than Wright.
The Lions know they missed him because they went out and drafted a TE. So yes his 914 yards receiving could have helped because your other TEs were ass.
No one gives a shit what the Iowa coach said. Hock was a 1st round pick and LaPorta was not. By your own logic that you have used in here before Hock was the better prospect because he was drafted higher.
So until proven otherwise they replaced Hock with a less prospect drafted a round later than Hock.
Bah, who cares.Bears didn't trade Smith in division. That is why people mock the Lions.

That's like selling a pristine 3 yr old Range Rover, throwing in a set of nice mountain bikes, having gotten only enough for a down payment on a Kia Soul which the salesman told you was way better than the Range Rover, then bragging about the cost of ownership while people whiz by as you walk the bike trails.

You can talk shit dipstick when the Lions win 28 in a row in the series.
If the Lions sweep the Bears the next 14 seasons, they’ll have a one game advantage.
As usual, you are wrong. Not speculation on my part:You fail to address the cost savings of LaPorta over Hock. What a fucking dipshit.
As to him being a "lesser prospect" that is only pure speculation on your part.
TJ had a total of 367 yards receiving his rookie year. Care to wager LaPorta will have more?
I mean, with Mooney and Claypool already not at practice, he's already getting reps. Injuries will likely happen in the season as well.I don't think Scott will have much of a role at WR for the Bears this season. It takes time for rookie WR's to develop in this system.
I think people highly underestimate Herbert's burst as well, do to his running style and body type. It looks like he is plodding but he is constantly running around defenders which leads to a lot of his big runs. He's deceiving.I had felt Montgomery was much better than his stat, as the OL never seemed to allow him to get going and he still seemed to pound out some tough yards with missed tackles.
Then K Herbert came along and seemed to luck into some big hole carries, which I imagined Montgomery would thrive in.
But as the season wore on the sample size just became to large to deny. DM just doesn't see the holes quickly enough.

You cant be this stupid. Wright didnt get any targets because Hock was better ie proving my point. Even if you want to say that 216 yards was in 10 games. Once again Hock had 395 yards in just 7 games which is better than Wright in 3 less games. He had 519 yards with Minny in 10 games which is also better than Wright.Wright never saw any targets until after Hock left, that comparison is stupid.
By your logic, Lawrence, Lance, and Wilson were all better prospects than Fields.
The question is, where did the Lions offense rank when they had Hock as compared to after he left.
Feel free to look that on up.
LaPorta will cost 8 million less against the cap this year, and around 10-12 million less in 2024.
