Still do not understand the love for Tevin Jenkins. Only way I'd bring him back is on a 1 year, prove-it type deal expecting he may only be healthy for half of the deal.

Less about love and more if Smith isn't available then he is one of the better guards on the market.

So again I responded to what your post actually said. Based on what you actually said, it appeared to be a one game overreaction.

I dont care about tipping points, straws, or camel's backs because none of that was in your post so it is irrelevant.
I give you full marks for responding to what my post actually said. That seems to be like some sort of achievement for you. Your singular confusion of my post 'appearing' to be a 'one game overreaction' is your incorrect interpretation. Yes, you don't care about tipping points because your brain does not function like other people's brains.

For the eighth time, I watched the Niners game and had the Bears gone out an beaten the Niners 40-3, I would have thought differently. They didn't and put up their worst effort of the year. I'm not sure why you are still confused on this issue, but I will continue to clarify as long as necessary.

I dont care about tipping points because it wasnt mentioned in your post. A normal person generally includes in their post the things they want the reader to consider. Maybe something to consider for next time.

You don't have to care. Your singular misinterpretation of my posting is still in play. It was not a one game overreaction, because the Bears season isn't one game and my posting wasn't an overreaction. I watched the Niners game and had the Bears gone out an beaten the Niners 40-3, I would have thought differently. They didn't and put up their worst effort of the year.

Your post only referenced one game sir. That is what I responded to. That is all.

Yes, that has been established. You called it a "one game overreaction", which was your singular misinterpretation. It was not a one game overreaction, because the Bears season isn't one game and my posting wasn't an overreaction.

No it was a logical conclusion from the words you actually used.

You were the only person to draw that conclusion of "one game overreaction", yet I still don't understand how my comments was "overreacting" to the situation. For the eleventh time, I watched the Niners game and had the Bears gone out an beaten the Niners 40-3, I would have thought differently. They didn't and put up their worst effort of the year. I'm not sure why you are still confused on this issue, but I will continue to clarify as long as necessary.

No I wasnt because another poster liked my post. So that is at least 2 people.

Ok let’s get a head start on the mock offseason. We currently have 34 players under contract for 2025 and 82 million in cap space. Those 34 players are as follows.

QB - Williams, Bagent
RB - Swift, Johnson,Wheeler
WR - Moore, Odunze, Scott
TE - Kmet, Everett
OT - Jones, Kiran, Wright
IOL - Bates

Edge - Sweat, Robinson, Booker
IDL - Dexter, Billings, Walker, Pickens
LB - Edmunds, Edwards, Sewell
CB - Johnson, Stevenson, Gordon, Smith
S - Byard, Brisker, Hicks, Owens

K - Santos
P - Taylor

The below is very rough but meant mainly to illustrate we should be able to fix the OL and DL this offseason and field a very competitive team. Will obviously need refining once final draft order is known.

Cuts
Everett and Walker
92m Cap Space

Re-Signings

Allen - I think most expect him gone but assuming hid value has declined and he is a favorite target of Caleb I re-sign for 2 years 24m

Jenkins - Assuming Smith goes back to the Chiefs then I give Jenkins a Nate Davis type contract so 3 years and 30 million.

Shelton - His start to the season was terrible but he has played well since so I give him a modest 2 years 7m contract

Sanborn - Think he is a solid SAM and occasionally start at MIKE and WILL so 3 years at 9m

Minimum salary signings, Murray, Reddy Steward, Jaylon Jones, Josh Blackwell, Stromberg, Martin, Carter
56.5m Cap Space

Free Agents

Gesicki - Got rid of Everett to sign someone hopefully a bi more dynamic. Thinking 2 years 8 million here.

Corbett - Can play C and G but comes injured so thinking he signs fo 1 year at say 7m.

Zeitler - Older guy and placeholder so rookies can develop so 2 years 15 million

Mack - Comes back and retires as a Bear. 2 years 30m.
23 Million Cap Space
My mock offseason

The bears traded down for Nix and got an absolute haul because Williams was overvalued by most people. They took Fashanu with the 9th pick. If you are a big college football fan, neither of these are some big leap.

the bears probably have 2 more wins with nix, less spectacular plays but gets the ball out faster. Williams still holds the ball too long so the broncos are probably 6-7 right now. So you’ve got two top 15 or so picks.

Then, the mccaskeys have this thing with coaches. Ever since Ditka, they need someone who fits in with the family first and if they can coach, that’s fine too. For everyone complaining about Eberflus, that’s the problem. The mccaskeys don’t want anyone as good as Ditka embarrassing them publicly like Ditka used to. So in my ideal offseason they either get over that or sell the team and the bears don’t hire a coach that makes you say “who??” Plenty of good coaches want this job. Just not that family

Broncos have the No 1 Pass Block OL per PFF and Sean Payton as coach so I doubt Nix has same success here that he has had with Broncos.

Well that’s probably cause you like Williams so you’re gonna hold on to their being no other possibility. Nix didn’t have holding the ball too long as his MO in college. He gets it out. He can hit a first read on a non spectacular gimme for a 6 yard gain. I watched him a lot in college.

And most bears fans, especially the ones obsessed with using top assets on QBs, can’t deal in simple logic. I didn’t say he’d be 8-5 here did I? I think the bears might have 6 wins. That’s not 8 like Denver.

When we look back and like grossman fans, most Williams diehards disappear and won’t fess up to how wrong they were, it will be a GIVEN that nix and a boatload of draft picks are far greater than Williams.

I was fine with the Haul before the draft. I just dont think Nix works in Chicago. He is a better fit for the O Payton runs.

You’re unwittingly touching on something else. Getting a QB and fitting a coach around him.

Bears fans have been so obsessive about using top assets on a QB because they don’t want to demand that the mccaskeys hire someone in that office who knows what a good QB looks like and what to do with him. That’s what Green Bay has and why they don’t need to trade multiple first rounders for cutler or have the number one pick.

The 49ers didn’t draft Montana then hire someone with a system that fit him. Bill Walsh had a system, knew who could run it and then got Montana in the third round.

The bears were going to be drafting whoever they drafted without an incumbent OC anyway.

So take nix and the haul and then go out and find your coach. You didn’t have anyone in the building who could get a really good QB with the 20th pick or had a really good system anyway

Who is deciding on Nix if you say we dont have the OC or HC in place to train him? Further if you trade down there is no guarantee you get Nix. A trade down only makes sense if you happy with multiple QBs so this seems an awful lot like hindsight.
