2021-2022 NFL Season

Gutey has shown nothing but a lack of respect to Rodgers. I mean even the Queens called Cousins and gave him a heads up that they were gonna draft a QB in the 3rd round.

The only good thing is that if Rodgers walks, Gutey will be gone in 2 years.

Gutey’s length of tenure is going to be tied to the transition from Rodgers to Love or another QB. Which is pretty consistent for any GM (other than maybe the Bears).

Yep.  As I said, if Love is a success, then Gutey made a fine choice.  If he isn't, then he will be gone.  Just like Wolf when he traded a #1 for Favre and just like Thompson when he drafted Rodgers.

Exactly. I think Gutey has so far shown he’s good at building a team. We have been to the NFC Championship the last two years.

I’m optimistic with a QB on a rookie deal, he could build a really good team that doesn’t depend on the QB being a HOF.

I hope you are right, Cheebs. But, I still say that if Rodgers leaves (personally, I don't think he will), we will be fighting with Chicago and Detroit for 3rd and 4th place.

I’m quite frankly shocked by how many prime appearances the Bears are getting for the 2021 season. Multiple SNF & MNF games as well as Thanksgiving.

I know people are excited for Fields, but this can easily be a 4-12 squad this upcoming season.

That Packers-Bears matchup in Week 14 could be ugly if Rodgers is playing elsewhere.

With two of the wins being the Lions.

Sorry, 4-13 squad. That extra game is going to take getting used to win it comes to records/win totals.

Packers signing Bortles. Who needs Aaron?

Packers signing Bortles. Who needs Aaron?

The Pack wanted a veteran backup anyway.  A contender can't go through an NFL season with only 2 QBs on the roster.  Aaron will be back.

Panthers will open at home against the Jets - Darnold against his former team. If the NFL really wanted to be clever, they would have put the game in Joisey.

Bortles can lose just as well as Rodgers in a conference championship game, so it’s a wash really

[cheebs09]

Bortle Kombat!

That was a stupid insinuation then and still is one now, that Bradshaw, however, has always had the self awareness to play into.  He’s never taken himself too seriously, something old ARod could learn from.

He also was a consummate leader who butted heads with Noll constantly but remained professional and successful, and multiple times fought to keep his spot when the Steelers brought in other QBs.

Bradshaw has been also wildly successful off because he’s warm and affable and funny and charming.   He’s basically the anti-Rodgers

Wait, what? TB?

“I wasn’t that close to any of my teammates. I didn’t find anyone to become a best friend. We don’t stay in touch. They’re all over the country, but I do not want to stay in touch.” -Terry Bradshaw

Skipped Art Rooney’s funeral. Skipped Chuck Knoll’s funeral. Asked someone he didn’t know well, and didn’t know for two years to induct him into the NFL HOF. He had it written into his broadcasting contract that he didn’t have to do Steelers games. He avoided Pittsburgh for 20 years after he retired. He has feuded with players, coaches, admin, fans there, past and present. Former Steelers head of PR Joe Gordon called Bradshaw, “the most selfish person I have ever seen.” He’s been involved in more (same team) feuds than Richard Dawson. Multiple times when a player or coach has had to reschedule an interview with him while he was a broadcaster, he went on “Don’t you know who I am” tirades.” (I was there for a few of them)

TB was a HOF player for his big play in big moments more than stats. It shows that one doesn’t have to be friends with other players, team, fans to win, and be successful.

Curious example choice in the Aaron Rodgers discussion.

I don’t disagree of course, I would have thought if the Bears were going to get prime coverage, it would have been front loaded in Weeks 1-8. They have a six game stretch weeks 9-15 (not including their bye week), where four of those weeks, they will be the only game on. Heck, Week 7 they’ll be the Nantz/Romo game too.

Winning Blake of the Year in 2018 carries a lot of weight.

Bears keeping everything really quiet in regards to the rookie mini-camp. Apparently reporters are super limited in what they can say and aren't allowed to tweet out pictures or videos.

3 first round picks would be interesting. Not sure you’d go after Jones if you think Love is the guy. I’d imagine if the Packers would go with Love, they’d sign a guy like Flacco. Non-threatening veteran.

Would continue the legacy of trading our disgruntled HOF QB to New York.

Gotta remember that all of those 1st rounders would be in the 25-32 range.

I don't think that deal goes down, but the proposal includes one from the Bears that is likely to be higher. Besides, the logical selling point to why GB would take a deal like this is to have ammo to move up to get another top shelf QB pick if Love doesn't pan out, so the exact # of what comes back is less the headline.
