Yeah you think so little of Justin Fields that you criticized Poles handling of surrounding him with talent last off-season. Weird criticism when you think that poorly of a QB…

I guess you’ll take every side of the troll argument when you’re still bitter that Bears fans laughed at your first post a decade ago.

It’s 2023, the year of vagina intercourse. Try it.
Sorry, still laughing at darts and putt putt golf, and you of course.......

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
As far as Von Miller goes, he may be the same size but he lacks the bend. He is a different type of pass rusher. As I see him, he's more of a speed guy than a bendy prototypical Edge.

There is nothing to say that he WILL be the next Parsons. This is projected onto him. Now, Trenton Simpson has done this, which is why I've said he should be the goal, and not Will Anderson, since he gives us everything Anderson can do without the crazy price tag.

Robert Quinn is another type of beast that I don't see in Anderson. Have you seen his bend? So, as far as I'm concerned, he fits the bill of projection, at a crazy 1st or 2nd overall pick price tag, that I just don't see as being the game wrecker that will fill in all the holes we need vs. the cost outlay to acquire vs. the overall value of picks we get.

Yeah, I'm just a dude who watches football. What the **** do I know? But, I am not sold on Anderson, and I'm not the only one. So, I'd rather trade back, get Bijan and Trenton Simpson and then whoever else and call it a draft.
Oh I agree he doesn't have the bend that Miller and Quinn have. I keep hearing size as the reason why he may not work out at the next level. I've said this before, I'm not an Alabama fan but they do compete in the best conference in college football. I have a heard time betting against DE/LBs that play in the best conference. I don't think Anderson is worth the #1 pick though. If we trade to 4 it may be a moot point anyway.

Have you heard this podcast?


It’s very good. He goes into how well
These athletes are coached and how important it is to get them off their game. For example, with Chicago having the top pick, you know Anderson was coached for a question about his role in a 4-3 as a DE. It is basically the only criticism against him.

So, within the context of providing a novel evaluative basis that is part of getting them off their game and away from what they’ve been coached up by specialists to be, this dartboard and putting makes perfect sense.
If I were them, I would put the prospects in uncomfortable situations and see how they react.

You can’t blame Ryan Poles for the lack of talent in this draft. There’s talent but it’s not as good as other years. So he has to make the best with what’s there. If they don’t pan out, hey, we get it. You didn’t have much to work with. But if others pan out in this draft and it just shows Poles picked the wrong guys, well then him and his staff can’t evaluate for shit. But there still will be some misses on some picks. You can’t win them all.

I think the draft is pretty damn strong at some positions like DE/Edge, DT, CB, LB, C, OG and TE and think there's a bunch of #2 WR's and some killer slot guys. Free agency has me much more worried then the draft does.

And here we have it…. The next completely meaningless thing for Bears fans to obsess over.
I’m not obsessing over it. I’m just pointing out just how stupid a practice it seems to be. But those guys know more than me on how to gauge prospects.

I mean, I sort of get the overall principle, and other teams probably do something similar. But it sounds stupid to me to get grown men to play darts so you can gauge their competitiveness before deciding to pay them millions of dollars.

Jesus-they’re not 5. Talk to them and then instinct takes over. Shooting a game of pool with a prospect won’t tell you shit about something like whether they’ll put all out effort into their career.
Maybe it’s more than just gauging their competitiveness. Maybe it allows Poles/Flus to get to know them as people and gauge their personalities. Something that’s important when trying to change the culture.
