You’re right better action is to do nothing and potentially be in a position to need to trade mid season for a center.

Bro Nate Davis & Jenkins are both models of consistency. They are like the NFL version of Cal Ripken Jr

Gotta wonder if they are talking about someone else as a joke, like Staley or Spice Adams might be catching passes from Caleb or something. It would be shady and kinda dumb to know cameras are nearby and still be insulting the QB.
LOL. Cmon

Don’t overthink it, man. Guys razz and talk shit. It’s one of our best qualities.
Never is razzing someone behind their back like that cool. Any time someone pretends to be buddy buddy with you but behind your back they are making fun of you, that's a shady asshole who is not your friend. I'm hoping there is more to the story than just a hot mic accident.

He called Caleb "Default QB" Pretty sure even Caleb would laugh at that.

Either way,

Bears 147
Bills 8

Sorry, where I come you can joke about each other face to face and it's all in fun to tease, but sitting around talking about how another man looks behind his back is suspect. Like what man is worried why one of his "friends" doesn't have a neat haircut and talks about it to some scrub that won't be on the team?

"He looks like a gremlin"... "Doesn't even have a fade"... If they were really talking about Caleb and he sees that I would expect him to laugh it off as no big deal, but I bet he definitely would not consider him anything more than an associate.

It's like one of the guys that plays buddy buddy with you but when you turn your back he's trying to sleep with your girl... Lame as hell.

You’re out to lunch my dude. You don’t always have to read into the tea leaves.

There are no tea leaves to be read. To each their own. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter at all. Just my personal opinion.

Maybe if it were anyone else, I'd consider the posibility... but John Jackson is one of Caleb's best friends (only reason he's even a Bear for now is cause Caleb). Rome wouldn't seriously trash talk Caleb to his best friend. They're clearly joking around.

OK that’s why you have doctors. Obviously Seattle’s doctors thought he was ready


And maybe Bears doctors didnt so not sure the point. Until he plays we dont know the truth.

We signed Shelton and traded for Bates. That is 2 guys.

Putting Rome on punt returns is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever seen a coach do, and for this franchise that is saying something.

the risk is in no way worth the reward. Build a real offense which is what I thought they were doing and all you need to do is make sure the punt returner catches the ball.

He is a 3rd WR. Tyreek Hill returned punts. Steve Smith returned punts.

Great catch. I knew there had to be more to the story and not just getting caught blatantly disrespecting the guy behind his back.

Big difference

Im actually enjoying kneecap nagy going for it every 4th down and losing. He's a fucking clown.

Also the lions depth is pretty bad.
I respect it but happy it's not a coach of my team doing it so much.
