Brian Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 So if this season keeps going like this, Bears will draft 33 and Raiders will have our pick like 10 spots before or so. Nobody can complain about the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can do half of what he did today on a regular basis, it will be a wonderful trade. it's all about the QB. /angelo Edited September 30, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Tony said: Which everyone was saying since the beginning. You aren’t a prophet for saying the Bears season comes down to Mitch. Pace gave up assets for what he thought was a HOF talent in Mack, knowing you get aggressive for the chance to acquire a game changer, while also believing Mitch is/will be the guy. Good thing they didn’t fire Nagy, amirite?!? Yeah, they looked horrible last week against a crap team on the road. They were lucky to win that game. I was arguing that if Mitch sucks, they could end up regretting that trade and wasting Mack's prime. Jury's still out, but at least now there is reason for optimism, where before today Mitch was meh at best.

Mack has elevated the D to an entirely new realm...if not the entire team. Nagy and the entire staff did a great job today putting Trubisky in a great position to succeed...and he came thru big time. I don't care about last week...guess what last week was...a W...on the road. You take those anyday all day on the road in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 16 games in a season, and there is a week to ruminate on a game before they play again. It was too early to make a final judgment one way or another, but I was going of the data set that I had, which admittedly was incomplete. I'm not afraid to admit being wrong. I've written a couple posts on it. I hadn't seen that one game where Trubisky showed what he can do at the NFL level. This was that game. The rest of the 15 games looked like meh.

Jack Parkman Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Tony said: Which is what we’ve tried to beat into your head for weeks. Stop making rash, hot take posts after one game. The fire Nagy, Mack was a waste, Trubisky sucks, etc all make you look like a clown. No one is saying after this game, Mitch is now an elite QB. It was a great game to watch, and gave everyone a hopeful glimpse into what could be. But anyone making proclamations after one game should be shot down as well. When something happens, good or bad, maybe don’t rush to the keyboard next time, and take a more leveled approach, rather than trying to play Skip Bayless. Not arguing that, I shouldn't have made overreaching judgments, that is true. Before this game would it have been better if I said that Mitch hadn't shown anything yet, he may still do so but I'll believe it when I see it. Most of my argument was that I assume Bears QBs suck until proven otherwise. I was advocating that the Bears trade for Mack back in early August. I also thought that 1 1st round pick would have been enough because it was likely to be a top 10 pick.

Like I said, take the multiple L’s and move on. Not afraid to take the Ls, so let's move on. You guys think I know my stuff though, right? I've been posting here long enough to prove I'm not an idiot. A lot of time I'll admit when I'm being reactionary ahead of time so you guys know. Sometimes, I'll just say stuff and that is it. A lot of time I'll change my opinions when new data is presented, because that is how the scientific method works. You have to adjust to what the data that is presenting.

LittleHurt05 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Before the game I was so worried about the Bears secondary injuries, I completely ignored how bad and depleted the Bucs were. No doubt that Mitch played well, but some of those receivers were so freaking wide open, it was crazy. I think it was the Bellamy touchdown they showed Cohen celebrating when the ball was still in the air, cause he knew it was a TD. First place headed into the bye!

LittleHurt05 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Earl Thomas held out, skipped practices, but decided to play despite not getting a new deal. Lower leg fracture.

All of the 1st rounders from the last 2 drafts will at least be starters for a while, IMO. That includes Trubisky. Watson is probably the most iffy of the bunch. He has some accuracy problems. I think it isn't a question though that the 2018 QB class might be a lot better as a group than the 2017 class. Just more upside there. It seems that teams are getting a lot better at drafting QBs. I can't think of a lot of 1st rounders over the last 3-4 seasons that absolutely suck. Goff, Wentz, Trubisky, Mahomes, Watson, Mayfield, Darnold and Rosen are the future of the league.

On the play he was injured....he wasn't even hit. Hard to imagine fracturing you leg on a play like that. Look at the replay if you can...it was very innocent.
