President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 12:01 AM) Don't you naysayers at least LOVE the fact Trump is optimistic and a huge supporter of our great nation?? The man is an American through and through and doesn't apologize like some PC people always do. I mean isn't that SOMETHING to be optimistic about?? Don't you get sick of negativity all the time? p.s. I realize this is coming from a guy who is so so pessimistic about the Sox. I guess I need to work on that. I never realized that refusing to apologize makes one an american through and through. And no, im not optimistic about a racist, misogynist, bigot telling everyone that he is going to put his racist, misogynist, bigoted policies in place that are generated to increase the wealth of the top 1% and destroy the middle class. What i am sick of, is things like bomb threats at jewish centers and shooting of people like that poor Indian man in your general zip code, greg.

Oh i remember that, where he called himself the least anti Semitic person ever. And then Jon Stewart pointed out that Trump last year attempted to humiliate him on twitter by telling everyone that his birth name was Leibowitz

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) True but if they were planning on winning in the near future, the following year or so, why would they trade him coming off his best years? I don't think they planned on being this bad for this long. They thought they would be in contention very quickly which is why they hired the older but experienced coach not a young rebuilding coach. Edit: In hindsight it would have been the best move but they didn't think it would go this way. This is why Pace is paid to be GM though. And the point remains, it is extremely bad to let an asset walk

2017 NFL off season thread
QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) I guess I look at it a little differently. Teams change so much from year to year and the big shift in records as well. The need to take every year that they have a chance at it and try to win. Fans may look ahead but with the way the Bears have switched coaches in recent years they really can't just throw seasons away. Injuries and FA make the teams much more volatile than baseball. I get what you're saying but would a future 3rd round pick (speaking from the perspective of 2 years ago) be worth trading him when they were trying to win? They weren't trying to win 2 years ago, they made that abundantly clear. And 2 years ago Jeffery was coming off of his two best seasons as a pro back to back, they would have gotten more than a future third round pick

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 02:23 PM) Yes there is. Teams may not want him if he is expensive. Now they can try to trade him "as is" but why would they when the Bears may not offer him a deal. They can just wait until he is a FA and try to sign him for a cheaper deal than the Bears would sign him for. He doesn't want to be here and would make the Bears pay far too much to try to keep him. Other teams know this and will wait it out. Why trade for him when he will be signed for just money and no draft picks. your entire premise revolves around right now, this week. The bears have had two years to get to this point and frankly, they dropped the ball if he walks. There will be a team that meets his demands, there always is.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) Well, maybe we'll finally get a comp pick and they think that would have beat what they'd have gotten on market. I still think this is dumb as hell. Look at what they got the last two years for players like Jared Allen, Brandon Marshall, Bennett etc. If they honestly think a comp pick is the best they could have done, something is wrong

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 12:19 PM) It's very relevant. If it costs too much to sign him, it makes it difficult to trade him. If his contract demands were too high, nobody will trade for him, considering how often he is off the field. He may do this on purpose. Make his contract prohibitive for him to stay here because he really didn't seem to want to stay. No,it's not relevant at all. He is gonna get paid his money, if you aren't willing to pay him what he wants, you trade him and move on, last year in this current offseason. There is no "costs too much to sign him". You don't let him walk for nothing. Teams like the Bears do this bulls*** and it bites them in the ass, teams like the Patriots don't do this.

What you think about Alshons health, production, ped suspension, etc is really irrelevant. The bears losing assets with no compensation is not good at all for a rebuilding team.
