**OFFICAIL** Bears 2024 Regular Season News & Schleisse - FTO Preferred - No ALTS! Derailing Is Discouraged!

[knoxville7]

Misdemeanor or not I’m still out.

Anyone with a previous misdemeanor is a no for you?

 

[Montucky]

Pretty shit start to the offseason, everyone predictably getting tagged, no clear cut talent at the top of the draft. I'm 100000% down for trading back and acquiring numerous picks. All depends on what offensive line talent we get in free agency, but moving back and getting a Skoronski/Tyree Wilson and JSN is a great option.

From a purely football perspective its a bit of a godsend that the Bears are now massively less tempted to forgo a trade down and overdraft this overrated defensive tackle (one of the least valued NFL positions) prospect just because he is a great scheme fit for this coach who is another bad season away from being out of a job.

Obviously the amount of personal tragedy around the situation outweighs the football.

Someone died. This isn’t smoking pot…

That doesn’t change the fact it’s a misdemeanor. Or are you actually blaming carter for their deaths? Because thats a bit of a stretch to say the least IMO

 

[Les Grossman]

Well this changes things quite a bit. Anderson it bust for a true blue chip prospect. I don’t like the huge gap between Anderson and Tyree Wilson.

Otherwise you might as well try and trade back into the middle of the round for a WR/OT

Lol

After the Ruggs incident I can’t believe you’re even arguing this.

No he didn’t cause their deaths. But he was involved in an incident where it’s very easy for someone to die.

He’s already been ticketed for going 89 in a 45. I don’t want athletes that drive like idiots.

 

[Moses Moreno]

Jalen carter absolutely has character concerns at this point.

Todd mcshay also didn't predict the future...or maybe he did?

Carter got pulled over for going 89 in a 45 zone in September.

Hopefully this shakes Jalen up, he absolutely needs to mature a bit.

 

[cameronkrazie86]

You’re comparing two wildly different things.

No, they aren't. I'm saying it's a trend that he plays both sides on top prospects all the time with vague shit. This one he happened to get right with Carter on as vague a character issue as possible. 2 weeks ago he said "Carter is the real deal". So which is it? The real deal or character concerns? He never took a consistent position so he's right if Carter becomes a star and he's right if Carter does something stupid. It's both sides.

Todd McShay vouches for Jalen Carter as ‘real deal,’ PFF indicates its metrics back him up

ATHENS — ESPN analyst Todd McShay is making a case for Georgia’s Jalen Carter as the “real deal,” and PFF analytics are backing him up.

He did the same thing with JSN this year, basically called him a quitter and soft.

Todd McShay veers out of bounds with Jaxon Smith-Njigba criticism

ESPN analyst Todd McShay's suggestion that Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is lying about an injury drew a lot of fire.

Here's one from 2022 on Thibodeaux.

Kayvon Thibodeaux's NFL Draft fate is an unfair mystery - why the Oregon star is a warning to beware of group-think

Lack of motor? Character concerns? Kayvon Thibodeaux is bearing the brunt of NFL Draft group-think - but why? Sky Sports Cameron Hogwood discusses the questions surrounding Oregons polarising pass rusher.

This is one dating back to 2011 to Michael Oher.

Michael Oher takes on Todd McShay

"Character" is an all encompassing word used around this time of year to describe NFL prospects.

He does this all the time. Sometime he gets them right, sometimes he doesn't.

 

[SugarWalls]

It’s really weird how the guy that admitted to needing to do more cardio for the fckn national championship game because he felt out of shape - his words not mine - has character concerns. Honestly shocking, who could’ve seen this coming.

I’m not condoning driving like an idiot

And I can’t believe you’re comparing the Ruggs situation where he legit killed someone to carters situation where his car wasn’t involved in any wreck, the car he was racing was.

Again, not saying it’s a good look or anything, but the two situations are very different still

And that's before he gets paid millions for getting drafted.

Well cuz he didn’t kill anyone THIS time I guess it’s no big deal right?

how's he going to act when he gets millions in a signing bonus?

Didn't it also say that he left the scene and gave the cops info that wasn't true?

Results do yield different consequences

Had ruggs not killed someone, just got caught drag racing, he wouldn’t currently be sitting in prison

So yeah, because he didn’t kill anyone this time is why he won’t be in prison and why it’s just a misdemeanor

That’s how our judicial system works, you get punished for what DID occur, not what COULD of occurred

 

[gallagher]

?‍

I don't know, friend. I think he has a point.

If Poles does draft Carter, would you not root for him as a consequence of this incident? Would you give him the chance to either grow from being involved in another man's death and turn it around?

 

[knoxville7]

Didn't it also say that he left the scene and gave the cops info that wasn't true?

Sure did. Didn’t it also say he’s still only being charged with a misdemeanor?

Also, innocent till proven guilty is how we operate in this country

Which basically indicates he was shitfaced.

Do you think drunk driving is OK as long as you make it home safe?

I don't think he deserves prison nor does he deserve to have his NFL future completely taken away. But he is for some serious adversity and will need to improve himself dramatically if he wants to have a successful life. This is a struggle many young men have as their bodies mature years and years ahead of their minds.

He'll certainly get a chance.
