You arent allowed to change your name bud.

Maybe change your name to Midway Love since every time you change your name the QB sucks. We could use some of that bad luck on the packers side
I hope you and everyone who liked your post gets sun burn today, but not too bad.

It is really refreshing to hear about how well the offense is performing. Very cool to see what WR4 is doing too. I may have personally underestimated his ability and will gladly issue a mea culpa on that. At this rate, he will be WR3 soon making OZ a very talented WR4. So much depth this year with pass catchers. They really need to get solid play at LT and hope the whole OL can stay healthy.

He'll be backing up Case this year imo.
If that happens it'll be because of all the talk about the Bears not having a vet to help Caleb last year and not because Case is better IMO.

God forbid we have THREE LTs that are good. I'm stoked. If Jones can hold off Ozzy, then he is looking good in this OFF, with better talent next to him. I do think Ozzy steals his job, it just may not be this year. And Kiran is a good swing tackle or depth. How exciting if we don't have to address LT for a few years! Move on to an elite DE and RB next year, though Swift may surprise.
The definition of a good left tackle in Chicago is anyone better than Ja'Marcus Webb.

So throwing the ball far has nothing to do with arm strength? Hahaha we can add this to the list of dumb things you've said.

I am saying no one ever stated he cant throw the ball far.

Everyone in the NFL can throw the ball 50+ yards, wtf?

Everyone who criticizes his arm strength is referring to how he has a absolutely zero zip on the ball and cant make the throws to the outside hashes. This was evident the more he played as a rookie

Has anyone heard why the 5th round rookie Zah Frazier has not been at camp? All I know is they said personal but man it must be tragic. I feel bad for him.
I’m not sure, but I remember when people were busting on Peanut for missing camp. It turned out to be his daughter. So, I’ll leave a brother to his business.
I think the Bears social media team should change things up and put the camp highlights to some good jazz music. Maybe Coltrane, Davis, Parker.

If you love jazz and don’t know Donald Byrd, you’re welcome. If you have never heard this album, it is my favorite.

CW's pat didn't look like a telegraph in this case as it wasn't part the throwing motion. They all do it. I suspect some of it is feeling the ball is secure at some point before the throw.

The only giveaway that might be happening is when it's progressional.

Like 1 pat, go to second progression, two pat, third...etc.

It's almost part of their pump fakes, resecure the ball...

But this is mostly body balance and hesitation.
That's the other issue, when the ball needs to come out or get thrown away and they hesitate and pat again.


The ball needs to come out and it's a habitual clingyness that isn't a neuropathway you really desire to strengthen.

People have absolutely said he can't throw the ball far and i don't think anyone has ever said he does have good arm strength so you seem to be having your own personal debate with........well nobody since nobody has ever said he does have good arm strength. You can still win football games in the NFL without good arm strength. What he does very well is get the ball out quick and you can dumb down a system to win with that. It's not like there's many, if any, teams that are going to be good if their starter goes down. These guys are backups for a reason.

Edit: and you did say "throwing the ball far does not equal arm strength" but it actually does, or at least is one of the things that does.
