We're playing like s***, but Nate is seriously fun to watch. We're using him like we use Derrick right now.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) i hope he's still available when the Bears pick. but i bet he'll be gone. You'd sure think so, after all these teams have the night to rethink their plans

2013 NFL Draft
Will Barkley make it past Chiefs and Tennessee? Both teams that have an option at QB, but might find it worth using a 3rd round pick on someone they might view as a 1st round QB

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 09:12 PM) I'd groom him to be the starter in 2 years. Right -- if Jay wants to become Aaron Rodgers, we'll just turn Barkley into some picks.

I'm a fan of Cutler, but I'd love to have a backup worth getting excited. When have we ever had too many good QBs?

I'm glad we got a MLB. We've run all kinds of guys out there opposite Briggs at OLB with no problem

Hawk has a player/coach mindset. Advanced stats don't always make it easier to coach a player, you can get important marginal gains with BS like increasing TWTW (btw, if you don't think an increase in TWTW doesn't have something to do with Rios's improvement, you're wrong). There are also mechanical/technical adjustments, improved training, etc. that won't be quantifiable or especially predictable. Sabermetrics are really good at explaining what has already happened. Sabermetrics can tell us that Adam Dunn was really valuable even though he struck out a lot and hit a lot of home runs. They may have told us he was trending towards more strikeouts. Unfortunately, Dunn's TWTW or something like that caused an amazingly precipitous downfall. Sabermetrics tell us that Gordon was probably unlucky last year and with neutral luck we should expect a somewhat better year this year. We'll see how accurate that is. There is absolutely a tremendous balance to be achieved between quantitative considerations and qualitative. We are certainly getting better at quantifying things, though.

Hypothetical: if Matt Barkley and Manti Te'o are available for the Bears in 2nd round, which do you pick?
