The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole

Quote from: Lennys Tap on March 10, 2024, 10:41:22 PM
I don't disagree. The Bears will basically give Fields away to avoid it. I'm just not sure that's wise.

Justin Fields isn't great. He may get better with a new coaching staff or change of scenery, but has shown little ability to be consistent at the quarterback position in the NFL.  He simply isn't worth a lot.

And if you make a decision to start over with a a new guy, you don't keep the old "QB of the future" around.

20th, actually.
https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-ranking-all-66-starting-quarterbacks-from-the-2023-nfl-season


I mean, I literally wrote "Mac Jones might be bad."
Quite the high praise.


So 20th out of 66 QBs who started in NFL games makes Fields one of the worst.QBs in the league.


And 50th (Mac Jones rating) merits a "might be bad" toss away line after a paragraph praising his early work and making excuses for his work lately.


Interesting.

Bears to Arlington dead?


It is just amazing to me how the Bears screwed this up. So now they are going to get themselves back into a situation where they don't own their stadium...don't own the land around it for development...and have all of the same logistical issues they have now.

And why should the City of Chicago have any interest in playing ball with them for a new stadium?

Interesting stat from Yahoo Sports:

No Super Bowl–winning team since 2013 has paid its leading rusher more than $2.5 million.

The Chicago Bears are shifting their quest to build a new domed stadium away from Arlington Heights and plan to invest $2 billion to fund a new publicly-owned lakefront stadium in Chicago, a source confirmed to ESPN.

How is it publicly-owned if the Bears invest $2B$

Interesting.

You're right, Lenny. According to that one ranking, Fields was more productive last year than Jake Browning, Bryce Young, Zach Wilson and even Mac Jones.
I can see why you want to keep him in the fold.

Weird hill to die on, man.

All because they don't want to pay a $10 million property tax bill on a project that'll virtually allow them to print money.
Either this is some truly hamfisted attempt to strongarm the suburban school districts (i.e. the bloodsuckers) or they're very dumb.

On property they purchased for $197 million and want valued at $30 million, even though Chuchill Downs and the districts valued it at $95 million last year.

The districts aren't dumb. The Bears are going to have to pay this tax bill anyway, and if they don't develop it, someone else most certainly will.

Something isn't factually correct in that post.

I mean, God bless Chicago if they can get the Bears to do $2B in leasehold improvements, but I think Justin Fields has a better shot at passing TB's Super Bowl total than that happening.

Maybe the the total project is $2B that the Bears kick in 10%-20%?

Kirk Cousins will hit free agency and begin discussions with Atlanta as soon as the tampering window opens in 90 minutes, per sources.

Bears are signing Deandre Swift to a 3-year, $24 million deal.

I don't get it. Probably the 4th best RB on the Bears between Roschon, Herbert and Fields

DegenerateDish

I'm not sure why they were in a hurry to address RB (which was not a major need).

Titans giving pretty much the same deal to Tony Pollard.

Bakhtiari released. How long until he's on the Jets?

RBs getting good money so far.

We'll see what the top guys end up with. Will certainly be 10M+ a year.
