It’s wild, but he probably has the best WR trio in the NFL plus a really solid TE and a good pass catching RB. As long as the line can keep him upright, he should have a monster rookie season.
Seriously, I never thought I'd see the day where the Bears have the best WR room in the NFL lol

Makes me appreciate the Keenan Allen trade way more now, even if he is only a Bear for 1 or 2 seasons at his age. Perfect draft start.
You know it's very unlikely the combo of Moore-Allen are both playing every game. If Allen misses time, it's DJ Moore then...Tyler Scott? Rome solves a lot of issues, both short term and long term. Now focus on DE/DT, have a weekend.

What a fucking an amazing draft.
Fair or not, Caleb should set franchise records for the Bears in his rookie year. It's all right there for him

Projections would indicate Bears fans wouldn't recognize the air game that would result.
Now toss in a dome to make throwing the ball possible in all weather conditions and damn I'm getting excited.
Very likely Caleb won’t see the new stadium while he’s on his rookie deal

It’s just so, so dumb to stay at the same spot essentially, solving none of the traffic snarl issues, as well as not own the property instead co-opting with the city again. I can’t wait until we get a half assed dome that is an eyesore
It seems pretty clear the Bears were locked in on Arlington Heights, but Kevin Warren had no interest in moving the team to the burbs, and wants to stay in the city. He did the exact same thing in Minnesota, and clearly doing the same here.
I was looking forward to them moving to the burbs, the city is such a pain in the ass and I can't imagine it will be that much better with the new stadium, but whatever. Just build a winner.

Anyone taken a look at Reynaldo’s numbers lately? Talk about a coaching failure there. Sox had a stud on their hands and nearly ruined him. Kopech probably would be an all star by now in a better org
Whoa whoa whoa.
We’ve got THE Chris Getz running things now. Developmental mastermind. Guy knows how to develop. @WestEddycan give you the list. I don’t want to spoil it, but if you’re into Selby Zavala…get a second pair of pants ready

It was a massive mistake.
Tanking doesn’t work 99% of the time.
With the White Sox, or in baseball? Because there have been numerous successful "rebuilds" done by teams over the last two decades.

All anger aside - and I also have a lot towards that f*** - I can’t imagine being ok with my legacy being what his will be. Imagine knowing people will be partying the day you die?
That’s probably one of the differences between the average person and billionaires. Not understanding basic human emotion.While I don't think I'll ever be in that position, I have to imagine at that level, you have so few people around you that will tell you "how it is" and instead just kiss the ring. Obviously it's on the person (in this case Jerry) to be aware of what is going on in front of him, but I think if you insulate yourself with yes men, your view of things can be significantly altered from what is actually going on

Given that Pedro currently holds a 64-117 record, you would think at some point he says “This isn’t working, I have to take a slightly different approach here” but instead he continues with the same shtick every day.
Hey Pedro, maybe take your own advice and flush the script, try something new.

Not everyone was on board with the Sale and Eaton trades. Some people recognized that the Rick Hahn/KW general managing duo would have little to zero chance of sustained success. They were chased away at the time by the Rick Hahn fanboys, but history has proven the Hahn "haters" correct. Letting Rick Hahn and KW architect the tank job and "rebuild" was such a colossal mistake.
As fans, it was the best option there was. It was either continue to watch a 76 win team on a regular basis not be able to get over the hump with guys like Abreu-Eaton-Sale-Q-Rodon on the roster, or start from scratch and try to build up a core. You are correct at that point the faith was lost in Rick and Kenny, they shouldn't have been employed at that point seeing as we were celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the 2005 team at that point, but given their seemingly lifetime contracts, it was the right move given the circumstances.

Things are really bad when the only speculation is how awful the team will be. This is not a MLB roster.
It's sort of like the Joker speech in The Dark Knight.
It's ok to be awful, but it has to be part of the plan. Everyone was pretty much on board when the Sox traded away Sale and Eaton, because we had seen too much mediocre baseball, it wasn't working, and at least they had a vision and plan in mind for what they wanted to become. So we were ok watching really awful baseball for a few years because there was this baked in pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that it was all leading to something.
This isn't that. No one knows what the plan is. The Sox owner said he didn't want to "waste a year" after going through "the most painful season of his life" last season. They are far worse than they were last season.
If Getz met the media in January and said: "Listen, I didn't agree with a lot that went on here over the last decade. I respect Kenny and Rick a great deal, but this roster isn't anywhere close to where it needs to be. I know Sox fans want a winner and they deserve a winner, but as the roster currently stands, where not very close. So I've got a lot of work to do, and it's going to take us all, as a unit, some time to build this foundation the way we know it needs to be built. I'm going to be as transparent as possible with this fan base of what we're trying to do, and I hope in short order you're going to start seeing those results on the field. It's going to hurt for a while, but my only goal here is building a sustained winner for the Chicago White Sox. We owe the city that."
You say that, and the attitude of this fan base changes a good deal, in my opinion. Obviously results will be the true test, but if we are talking about where we sit on April 15th, 2024...a simple level set last winter would have done this fan base a lot of service. But of course, that's not what they decided to do.

I you are a cub fan go ahead. Nothing positive comes from losing...nothing. You break the spirit of the players and the fans and diminish the franchise in every way imaginable. That is why I don't trust or respect the opinions of those who relish in WSox losses.
I've watched probably 5x as much Cubs Baseball than White Sox Baseball, which still isn't a ton given how much I've actually seen of the Sox...but it doesn't make you a better "fan" to suffer through watching a 2-13 team when there is another team in town that actually competes in the sport they play in. It just makes you the fool.

White Sox lineup:
- Grossman, LF# (.564)
- Vaughn, 1B (.514)
- Sheets, DH* (1.159)
- Pillar, RF (.619)
- Sosa, 3B (.555)
- DeJong, SS (.643)
- Remillard, 2B (.666)
- Fletcher, CF* (.657)
- Maldonado, CA (.226)
This really is an incredible visual in 2024. Just insane how you can have a roster deteriorate so quickly.

While I'm glad this is seemingly over and that Ohtani is innocent, it still doesn't make total sense to me for 2 reasons:
1) Ippei won ~140M and lost ~180M but only stole 16M from Ohtani. For someone who didn't make remotely enough for those debts, where did the rest come from?
2) How did a likely team of financial advisors & CPA's miss 16M being taken? They didn't balance the statements, whether they were monthly or annually?
I don’t really get that part either
-
So Ohtani's interpreter stole money from him and is a degenerate. I stand by what I said a few pages back...unless it's proven Ohtani was making bets on baseball, very little reason for any of us to really care about this story and it's long term impact on really anything.

I get the sentiment for sure. I honestly feel better about MHJr than I do anyone else in this draft. I just feel like this comes out like a Sox rebuild where they want a couple of stars and then fill in the blanks.
We can talk about all the details until we're blue in the face...if Caleb is great, the Bears will be in the Super Bowl conversation for the next 5 years. If he's a bust, none of the other roster moves will make that much of a difference.

I simply don’t understand that for the Bills at all.
““Hey division rival we are always chasing who is the only team in the league with a better QB, move up to take a WR, even though we need to fill that spot more than any other position on the field”
