OT: Official Bears/NFL Thread XXVIII: Are you ready for some football? Circle one - Y N

[IU Hawks fan]

I can't even watch it on TV, in person sounds like the most miserable thing ever.

As long as it's anywhere but New York. My office building is on the same block as radio city. Fans at the draft act like the biggest as*****. They congregate outside and shout insults at anyone wearing a suit, they shout despicable things at female passersby...it's a drunken pack mentality...good riddance, I hope to never again be anywhere near it.

Isn't that New Yorkers in a nutshell?

My rare interaction with people from NY/NJ hasn't left a very positive impression

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Yes, all "New Yorks" congregate and talk **** to suits and verbally abuse women. That kind of thing would never happen in Chicago.

I will agree that a lot of Jets fans and/or people from New Jersey are trash though.

New Yorkers are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Jersey and Long Island, on the other hand...

I think it's a function of having a few thousand drunk nfl fans at what is a relatively lame event. The 'spirit' of the event is to overly cheer/boo picks of players most people have never heard of. It lends itself to sheer rowdiness/obnoxiousness. I moved to ny for college and I've lived here 23 years, and the only place I've ever seen people act this way is at the nfl draft.

There are a lot of people in NY. Good, bad, a-holes.

Bengals just signed Dalton to a six year, $115 million extension.

.... wait, what?

.... wait, what?

He and Culter are about as close as 2 guys can be.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Dalton isn't as gifted as Cutler.

 

[RayP]

He owes half of every check he collects to AJ Green.

 

[Kurtosis]

He and Culter are about as close as 2 guys can be.

Under what metric?

 

[ColdSteel2]

Under what metric?

All of them? (Except skills competitions)

 

[No Fun Shogun]

If Cutler's ceiling is Dalton, then the Bears are screwed.

 

[ColdSteel2]

If Cutler's ceiling is Dalton, then the Bears are screwed.

Well yeah, we all know that. But teams have won with worse guys that Cutler and Dalton.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Dalton is well below Cutler. Cutler's closest comparison is Romo.

 

[Kurtosis]

All of them? (Except skills competitions)

List them. If it's all of them it should be easy to do.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Dalton is well below Cutler.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Because he's not good at anything. He's the definition of average. Or even below average.

 

[ColdSteel2]

I'm so sick of hearing how good Cutler is. What will he be after this season, 32? Can we agree this is his last season to fulfill his potential?

 

[MurrayBannerman]

It's not about Cutler. It's about how Andy Dalton sucks.

 

[ColdSteel2]

It's not about Cutler. It's about how Andy Dalton sucks.

I know, one is great, one sucks and they produce exactly the same.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, no one's suggesting that Cutler's Hall of Fame potential.... just that he's not as bad as Dalton.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I know, one is great, one sucks and they produce exactly the same.

One gets to play the Browns twice a year.
