My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
There is a group of people who believe the GM is always right, whether it is Pace or Poles. I understand the loyalty to a player, but the loyalty to an administrative employee is a head scratcher.

These types of arguments are banal and stupid, because I can change 1 word, and the sentence will still be correct:

"There is a group of people who believe the GM is always wrong, whether it is Pace or Poles."

If a person finds themselves in a place where they think the front office of a football team is 100% right OR wrong, that person is an idiot. And you can also replace front office with player, agent, etc and it will still be correct.

Better to just take things as they come and judge as one goes along, rather than making silly predeterminations very early into a rebuild just because a GM, coach or player "huwt a fan's feewings..."

Generally speaking, of course.

You could also replace GM with twitter blogger.

As your attorney I advise you that if a cops finds you drunk and napping in the driver's seat of your car while parked on a public street, you will absolutely get charged with a DUI even if you never actually drove the vehicle in that state.

in Georgia, if the keys are in the car then it’s a DUI. If you sleep in your car drunk, best leave the keys out of it.

Nothing you said contradicts what I said. The point was Bears will have to overpay for talent if players and agents don't trust them.

Do you honestly think Larry O was worth 13m a year?
Again, players will go to the highest bid. If you’re telling me if the money is equal, player will choose better/winning organization, yeah…no shit ?

Pretty sure @remydat had this same opinion as recently as yesterday. Things are slowly changing as he sees people not supporting roquan

I remember Trestman talking about how good the practices were his final year as Bears head coach. Then the team would lose by thirty on Sunday. I think Trestman was a one trick pony, the NFL figured out his offense and he couldn't adapt.

No what happened is he put Cutler back in over McCown and the offense stopped clicking.

The Pack has arrived in San Jose for their game in Santa Clara vs. the Niners on Friday Nite.

It will be the Niners starters vs. The Packs backups, but I like the depth. I think J-Love and the boys will have a good showing. Win-Loss record is not the goal in preseason. Getting some good work in and getting out of it injury free is the main goal.

They should have put J-Love in the promo.

Yeah, Josh sucked too, but he had the momentum and should have kept the gig..

What happened with ARob has nothing to do with Roquan. Different regime and coach altogether. Nagy basically took Robinson out of the game plan and Robinson loafed. I really don’t know anyone who’s upset that Robinson is on another team.

Also, players want the most money possible and will almost always go to the highest bidder.
Also, if Roquan loafs, as would be the only downside for Poles, he'll get a contract like AR got instead of a tops in the league kind. After demanding $20m/yr from the Bear, he got $15m/yr.

If he plays well, he can be tagged or signed to a big contract next year.
