*OFFICIAL* Offseason Rumors, Signings, and Shenanigans

[Toast88]

I compiled a list a while back of the mocks from all the usual suspects (ESPN, CBS Sports, Fox Sports, etc.) on the 2017 Draft, and something like two-thirds of them had Mitch as the first QB off the board.

Not saying that’s an excuse for missing on the pick or that it wasn’t a bad pick. But those are the facts.

I’ll do a bit of a search when I get some time, but I’m not gonna go crazy looking for it. Can either believe it or not.

I understand mocks aren’t necessarily indicative of how front office personnel are evaluating a class. Just sayin’, though.


But I agree with the people saying that it makes no difference at this point. It’s a fruitless exercise in a tired topic.

Then why would the Bears run a zone-block scheme where flexibility, speed, and footwork in OL are much more important than toughness or attitude?

Why would Poles be upset with arguably the most skilled OL in that scheme, playing for us ( Daniels ) – Here's a video if some of you forgot about his abilities.

Why would Poles/Cunningham want to disrupt the OL so much, when in a zone scheme – repetition and unified movement are much more important than skill?

It's because Poles is holding the dice now. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's the same old story with anyone new in power. I sincerely hope, it works out, but thankfully the few of us remember the same old shit and aren't so quick to anoint these fools – yet.

But if you want to crown them, then crown their asses.

So what do you see this year being then? I have full confidence in these guys. I think at least 5 wins, if not 8. Let's see if they get Bates. And what they do with the draft. They have a plan, and some key players to work around, and I like where it's headed. Nagy/Pace really screwed this team up, so I expect to see some serious improvement this year, and then next year expect fireworks with a lot of room under the cap.

for some reason the top line with GP is cut off unless you open the full tweet pic. I added a *note on the original post

My bad i didn't see what you wrote on the bottom. I'm down with that draft.

James Daniels is overrated, inconsistent, and GONE.

Deal with it.

 

[PrideisBears]

Lol, look how emo and bitter you are. This from a guy that swore up and down Trubisky was a stud and would have call out threads attacking people that disagreed. Same guy that tried to say Riley Ridley was a steal in the 4th round and was a 2nd round talent.

Let's have an alcoholic tell us that athleticism doesn't matter. I was wrong about Raegor and Mims. I was right about Claypool, Watson and soon to be Fields.

How do you feel about soon to be HOF Justin Fields?

There were allot of posters here that wanted to give him 10-12 mil a year are you sure you weren’t one of them lol

Either way I agree daniels was garbage

 

[TexasBearfan]

Also, just to clarify, I could give two fucks less about bell.

Just makes me laugh that every year, same time of year, remy gets giant man boners for the same type of WR's and tells us that the guys who aren't fast will suck and aren't fits for this offense.

Legit been like 4 regimes hes been doing this same song and dance for.

giant relative to?

I actually agree the interior OL got better, it's contingent on Bates, but I like their chances. I would've hoped for them to find a way to re-sign Daniels and even in a larger perspective – use the talent already on your roster, but like I mentioned it's Pole's show. I haven't liked their approach to FA – I think they've missed out on some really good value ( Armstead ) and it doesn't make me feel good about next offseason either.

I think it's also indicative of how they view the upcoming season. It's a petri-dish year meaning they're going to observe what they have before committing any resources to the roster. I hope it works out, but we've been told this story before.

If he learns to be patient taking what the D gives him and picking his spots to attack deep he has top 10 potential IMO.

Not really sure what the problem is here? Fields wasn’t drafted by Poles. Obviously Poles wants him to be the guy, but it makes perfect sense to think he’s bringing a new QB in IF Fields does bad this year.

Considering the shit show of talent on this roster, he better get a couple years.

Think your RAS scores are off. Those scores were still poor but not as bad as what you are posting. And this goes back to my point about having at least something you are good at.

DeAndre Hopkins RAS

DeAndre Hopkins was drafted by Texans with pick 27 in round 1 in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Clemson. This player was selected to at least one pro bowl in his career. This player put up 1,250 receivi…

ras.football

Again some yellows but given he was a 1st rounder then yeah I would say he is an exception. Still better RAS than Bell. Couldn't find Johnson's

Antonio Brown RAS

Antonio Brown was drafted by Steelers with pick 195 in round 6 in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Central Michigan. This player was selected to at least one pro bowl in his career. This player put up 1,2…

ras.football

Agreed Brown was not great but he had some yellows. But this is likely why he dropped in the draft and still better than Bell.

Wes Welker RAS

Wes Welker went undrafted for the NFL out of Texas Tech in 2004. This player was selected to at least one pro bowl in his career. This player put up 1,250 receiving yards or more in a single season…

ras.football

Welker's short shuttle was elite and it showed up in the NFL. Still better than Bell's

Anquan Boldin RAS

Anquan Boldin was drafted by Cardinals with pick 54 in round 2 in the 2003 NFL Draft out of Florida State. This player was selected to at least one pro bowl in his career. This player put up 1,250 …

ras.football

Yes another legit exception but still better than Bell.

Yeah and this dude is a unicorn. There was no way I would have touched Landry but good on him for beating the odds.

Took it from an article on Cooper Kupp and RAS. Now they could be wrong, but that is what was written. Be it what I submitted or you did all those players were well below the norm.

 

[bears51/40]

With teams like GB and KC now needy and in better position than us to pick and choose, I would love Watson but am resigned to the fact that he'll be gone. So I'd be cool with Pierce, Bell, Pickens, etc. or one of the others that fall to us at our pick.

Luckily I think Poles (given that it seems like his philosophy is to place a high value on cap space and draft capital, thinking more towards next year) will stay put and get the BPA WR when it's our turn.

OK, but what happens if the BPA on Poles draft board happens to be a player other than a WR? What if those top three picks happen to be a CB, LT, safety. Would you reach for a WR anyway or be happy with a 5th rounder?

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Considering the shit show of talent on this roster, he better get a couple years.

Regardless of the talent on this roster you should be able to see improvement. Obviously I want him surrounded by more talent but bad roster or not we should be able to see him getting better.
