OT: Bears & NFL Talk 103

[No Fun Shogun]

C'mon, Dallas, sign that knob to an extension.

 

[HeisenBaez]

100% in jest

Ok, ty.

Bears gonna trade a second round pick for him

 

[clydesdale line]

Bears gonna trade a second round pick for him

That would be monumentally stupid considering McCarthy contract ends in 7 days.

It’s da bears. Once they see a mediocre guy they want, nothing stops them from getting said mediocre man.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Bears gonna trade a second round pick for him

Equally possible.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

there is an argument to be made that this hire will be worse than Eberflus given the talent on the roster...why are they even considering some of the names out there, at least flus coming in was a well whatever we're tearing it down anyway situation, this is not that and they have established coaches talking about the job, like Carroll

Bears gonna trade a second round pick for him

'we wanted the early negotiating window'...said pick turns into an all pro OL

 

[clydesdale line]

 

[Pez68]

Sigh.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Does their diversity officer sit in on interviews this time around too, sheesh!

How embarassing that had to be for the interviewees

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Honestly Titans would be dumb to take a QB this draft

They have other needs more pressing and 2026 draft looks better for QB's. Trade down (Raiders would be likely team wanting to jump up with how awful they were at QB and I can see push for Sanders because Raiders still are all about attention/etc)

This might be the worst qb draft of all time. None of these guys are a game 1 starter and all will be NFL backups

Breaking down 5 key questions that will guide Bears’ coaching search. Some candidates ‘will surprise you’

The development of QB Caleb Williams will be a big factor in the decision. But the team will weigh a coach’s offensive background alongside the staff he brings in, the scheme he envisions and the culture he can build.

I thought I saw its up to 13 candidates now. I'm not sure why such a wide net needs to be cast. Does that mean they are being thorough or does it mean they don't know what the hell they want? I would lean towards the latter most likely.

And I haven't heard Jon Gruden's name among the 13 either..will be interesting if his name comes up.

It's not even the worst QB draft in the past 4 seasons. 2022 was considerably worse. One QB went in the first 2 rounds, and that was a reach.

They've got to interview a lot of people if they're to find the right genuflecting spineless lackey.

Day 1 and 2 guys were Pickett, Willis and Corral.
Hard to get worse than that.

 

[clydesdale line]

This is so Bears.

And the great Desmond Ridder

 

[StreetHawk]

And the great Desmond Ridder

Hmm. I keep thinking he went top of the 4th for some reason.

But, mentioned this on another thread. We don't have more than Hurts/Purdy as post round 1 QBs since Dak. Back in the early 201X's we had Wilson, Carr, Jimmy G, Cousins, make it.

But, teams spending a 2 or 3 on a guy, they don't seem to even get a sniff. Levis had a chance, and Ridder was given 2023 to show it but he failed. Hou ran with Mills til they drafted Stroud. AOC in LV will likely get replaced.
Trask, Mond, Mills, among the day 2 QBs who couldn't make it as starters.
