Official NFL Draft Thread - Bear Fans Only - and No Montucky!

[TL1961]

You’re obsessed with Justin Fields and seems to bring him up in almost every thread

I have not brought him up in any thread other than your lovefest. I may have brought up your fawning in this thread however.

 

[TL1961]

The “instant gratification” has led to too many Bears fans accepting an inadequate product from the Halas/McCaskey family year after year.

You don’t accept an inadequate product while simultaneously saying they should have performed worse last year to make you happy.

This is great, but I’d still also prefer the #7 overall pick instead of the #10 overall pick because of that meaningless victory against Green Bay to end last season.

He’s a good businessman. The NBA product has gone to shit I think more and more basketball fans have given up on it, and the Bulls are just a terribly constructed team that there’s really no incentive to watch them.

If he's a good business man he should prove it by going into another business. He lucked into Michael Jordan and complained about having to pay him, he's simply milking a fan base that is still young enough to remember the golden years.

He doesn't care about winning and that's been quoted for the record. I don't enjoy the NBA product but it's still being watched by a new generation. If the Bulls ever get a competitive team I will attempt to pay them attention again.

For now the Bears give me enough grief that I have no interest in Chicago's other teams.

Good, let some moron draft jeanty because his kid says he wants to draft him in fantasy football.


Jeanty is playing against 2 star prospects. Hampton would make guys look silly too playing against Nevada and Utah State.



The question is how much less productive would a RB taken at #39/41 be than jeanty at #10? I'd venture to bet not much less behind this offensive line.

So are you trying to tell me Hampton is equal or better talent to Jeanty?

Just want to get this in the record

Good businessmen make money and that’s exactly what he’s been doing for decades. He’s a shitty owner from a fans perspective, but a great owner from a business perspective. Dude is raking in money hand over fist …fans know they’re getting shafted and they still show up to games.

They’re actually seem to finally have a good young core.

Did anyone else, but you, bring him up in this thread?

The way I typically go about a Bears season is to come out of training camp hoping that we make the playoffs (There’s typically a surprise NFL team almost every season), then once we’re mathematically eliminated from the playoffs I switch my attention to individual player development (Caleb, Rome, etc) and individual player accomplishments (pro bowl, records broken, etc), hoping for no serious injuries, and future draft position. I don’t care about meaningless victories.

If he was a good business man the white Sox wouldn't be a trash organization. He's not making money hand over fist there despite the Sox being the team he actually cares about.

He is lucky with the Bulls, any sports owner can make money.

Jeanty doesn't appear to have Jahmyr Gibbs speed so how exactly will a 5'8 211lb running back dominate the NFL? Who is his comp?

Hampton is better getting short yardage, a better receiver and a better pass protector. He has the same speed as Matt Forte, not electric but good enough to make long runs too.

I don't want either at #10. Trade back and I take Hampton late and pair him with Swift. That's a better rotation than Jeanty & Swift.

Well get the Fukk over it. Bears don’t have the 7th pick.

Are you sure about that? How do you know he’s not making money with the Sox. I was able to find this, but nothing specifically about how much profit he makes annually.

Reinsdorf purchased the White Sox for about $20 million in 1981, making him the second-longest active owner in MLB behind only the Steinbrenner family (owners of the New York Yankees). Today, they’re worth an estimated 2.05 billion. He owns roughly 19% of the team and his net worth is estimated to be 2.1 billion. He seems to be doing pretty good business from my perspective.

I better not read anything on CCS about you advocating for the Bears to trade up, or any whining about missing out on drafting a player 7, 8, or 9

#16. $2 billion​

Chicago White Sox​

He's owned the team since 1981 and they are in the 3rd largest market. Of course he makes money,

His team is #16 in value behind teams like the Mets Angels and Astros who are also in states with multiple teams, and lots of small market teams as well.

I'd be willing to bet the Sox would be even less valuable if not for the color and logo being popular.

He is a horrible owner and mediocre business man. He's just lucky Chicago is a huge sports town with dedicated fans.

 

[DefNextYear]

I am blind to seeing anything remotely positive said about Reinsdorf.

The first two statements are highly and I mean highly debatable. Hampton looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane when there's any sort of backfield penetration. Similar to Matt Forte. He's not a make something out of nothing in the backfield type of back. Good in golline situations where he can push the pile. Jeanty is definitely a more natural hands catcher, which was really on display in 2023. And Hamptons 40 doesn't tell the who story, he tends to get caught from behind. By contrast someone like Derek Henry never gets caught from behind despite having a slower 40. Because he has a real 3rd gear that can only be measured in 60 meter dash.

The NFL should institute the 60 because it's a much better measurement of true long speed. Keep the 10 and 40 yard splits.

It's pretty close.

Nobody gives a shit about the bulls anymore

There has been no acceptance. We root for the team and players but if there was a way to force ownerships hand we would. It's no different than with the Bulls & Sox.

Nobody gives a shit about the Sox either.
