**Official** Training Camp News & Scheisse [Football Talk Only]

[Spitta Andretti]

I already provided AJ Bouye as an example. And once again you yourself have complained about the Bears overpaying for Free Agents.

Not an example when Bouye stated his reasons

Someone is calling teams on behalf of Roquan Smith to solicit trade interest

An awkward situation between the Bears and linebacker Roquan Smith could soon be getting even more awkward.

I wasn't implying to drive there. Say you want to sleep off a drunk coming from a bar. If you get into your car and drop the keys outside of it, you won't get busted and if you're being that responsible, you shouldn't get busted. If a cop finds you drunk in a bar lot with your keys on you, the assumption is that you intended to drive.

Really?

So I try to kill you but have bad aim, I will be arrested for attempted murder, not murder. However; if I get into a car, drunk, with my keys on me, I will be charged with DUI?

That kind of makes me want to go back to the US, get blindingly drunk, jump in my car with my keys on me and take a nap.

When the cops come to arrest me, my blood-alcohol level will be sky high. I will then point out that:
1. the keys do not fit the ignition.
2. the tires are made of edible cake made to look like tires.
3. there is zero gasoline in the fuel tank.
4. there is no engine in the car
5. and, finally, everything of the car besides the seat I was sitting on is made of edible materials like this Willy Wonka scene.

Smith is an idiot

 

[Dumpster Fire]

I want Roquan on the football field because he's really good, but damn has his entire Bears tenure been annoying as hell. He doesn't have a level head on his shoulders and it feels like people around him give really shitty advice.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

I wouldn’t call it leverage, really. He has literally no other options. It was his card to play, but will it bear fruit, backfire, or make no difference? Likely either backfire or not make a difference at all.

There’s not a market for Roquan, Poles has him under contract, can fine him if he wants, and has 2 tags at his disposal if he wants. That’s leverage.

Quan made an emotional response out of frustration because well…he doesn’t have any leverage.

Well, he does have some leverage, not just what you expect.

If Poles doesn't want to give him a contract, he can play out the 2022 season, be the best Will linebacker in the past 10 seasons and "demand" a 30 million a year, fully guaranteed contract which he does not expect Poles to give him.

He can then again say disrespect and undervaluing him because, now that he proved he was amazing in the position and system, Poles still failed to give him what he deserved.

At this point, it would just be sour grapes, but he can do that.

Hey, i didn't accuse you two of having sexual tension when you went back and forth for two years straight. If you miss having his full attention, please be my guest and take him. All you have to do is n3g once and he's yours.

Yes really. Better to sleep it off than try to drive. Be responsible and don’t get busted for it. What is your problem with that?

@nvanprooyen

Great point. @nvanprooyen notice how people don't want to talk in my Roquan thread since db derailed it and couldn't just take your warning without making it about being everyone else's fault.
Thank you.

 

[Spitta Andretti]

Roquan is coming off looking worse and worse as the time passes and stuff like this is coming to light. Yep. Sure, a team is going to want to trade draft capital and make him the highest paid LB in the league when hes coming off like a nutjob

He overplayed his hand and its not going to end well for him

It's like his life would be a character on that show Ballerz

George, Virginia, Ted and the rest must be so proud. In the 37 years since they last won a SB, the Packers have overtaken the series record and the all-time wins record. All while winning zero SB's.

Papa Bear is proud.

SELL THE TEAM.

Now the guy is making himself to look like a jackass to every other team in the league if this is true. If he keeps this up he will have near zero trade value.

Yeah, no, he's just fucking things up now. It's reflecting poorly on him (if it is 100% true)

At least pre season game 1 is tomorrow, we can all look forward to that, right ..? Right?

The only thing I see going for them is they apparently have a state of the art modern training center. Congrats, they just caught up to the 2010 Oregon Ducks.

It's all about Justin Fields, baby. It's all about QB1...

 

[remydat]

Going by what Bouye says is not making assumptions. You're calling him a liar to get your point across

You made statements that included things Bouye did not say. And if your claim is you have never made assumptions to speculated on here then you are full of shit.

Hey, i didn't accuse you two of having sexual tension when you went back and forth for two years straight. If you miss having his full attention, please be my guest and take him. All you have to do is n3g once and he's yours.

I debated with dabears about football. Yall are taking it to a far more personal level that has nothing to do with football.

This issue should have been resolved before training camp. A competent GM would have found a way to open a conversation with Roquan without creating bad will.
So would losing a respected team leader and the best defensive player on the team end well for the team?

I posted exactly what was quoted from Bouye and you insinuated that he wasn't being truthful
