I'm happy that Fields has a chance to step back, work on his game, and possibly resurrect a solid career. As noted above he needs to improve his reads and ability in the pocket. I believe he has the raw skills to make it happen. Entering the off-season I would have traded Fields for any of the top three QBs in the draft. I see this (I know it's not accurate but makes me feel better) as they traded Fields for Williams and a 6th to 4th round pick.

Or to the Vikings

Not quite Dickie Noles or Harry Chiti but funny nevertheless.

And this took less than thirty seconds. Assuming the Bears land Caleb Williams with the first overall pick, here's how they can develop him for success: Focus on Protection and Play Calling: Solid Offensive Line: Invest in protecting Williams. A shaky line will crush his confidence and hinder his development. Tailored Playbook: New Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron's system should utilize Williams' strengths. Design plays with quick throws and rollouts to avoid pressure. Run Game Support: Establishing a strong running game takes pressure off Williams and opens up play-action passing opportunities. Learning and Growth: Veteran Mentor: Consider a veteran QB as a backup to mentor Williams. Someone like Andy Dalton could provide valuable guidance. Gradual Integration: Don't throw Williams into the fire immediately. Start him slowly, letting him learn the NFL game before becoming the full-time starter. Focus on Mechanics: Refine Williams' throwing mechanics to improve accuracy and arm strength. Building a Winning Team: Upgraded Weapons: Surround Williams with talented receivers and tight ends who can create separation and make plays after the catch. Coaching Stability: A consistent coaching staff allows Williams to build trust and develop within a defined system. Strong Defense: A stout defense takes pressure off the offense and allows Williams to manage games without needing to force throws. Patience is Key: Developing a young quarterback takes time. The Bears should prioritize Williams' long-term growth over immediate wins.

There are still a lot of question marks and inconsistency in Fields play. I think the Bears are trying to create as positive of a situation as they can for their #1 pick. A weekly controversy over who should be starting isn't how they want this to unfold. If they had a veteran who figured out how to stay in the league, help guide him along, it would be different. But trying to develop two QBs when you've never managed one, is just too big of an ask.

All in on Williams. I really hope he has a long and successful career. This would be a horrible heartbreak if a hopefully once in a lifetime first pick is a bust. Is there a billy goat type curse on Bears QBs?

Whatever.

I'm in the inc. One, it's so preliminary and dependent on factors that the Sox can't control. Example, if Cease blows out an arm next month it's an easy A win. I do think the team received as much as they were going to getz. Everyone in the league knew the Sox wanted to move him. Hot take it's a B and they were never going to get an A level return.

Expand the playoffs to sixteen teams with only those teams getting a share of the playoff revenue and a greater share of the national TV deal. Relegation by revenue.

Everyone has announcer examples, I'm trying to think of a player? I can't.

Seems like players are treated differently. Can you think of a player treated like Benetti?

You didn't think players are different than announcers or secretaries?

Does their paycheck really depend on it? I can think of guys like Rocker with homophobic comments, or Campanis with racist comments, getting fired but I can't think of anyone getting fired for calling out teammates or the manager. Bottom line, players can't manage themselves. They need coaches and managers. They all failed. It really doesn't matter if they liked the guy or not. I think most folks like working for a manager who leaves them alone. So it doesn't surprise me they liked working for TLR.

True in most situations without multiple year contacts. They could have just said something neutral but actual were positive. You didn't believe them which is the position I think of most Sox fans. Lying or not, the bottom line is they failed and it's likely they need a manager, they can't manage themselves.

Are you thinking they received a bonus for saying positive things? I know it doesn't fit the narrative we believe, but I'm not going to dismiss their public comments to guess what they really felt. If we are going to make some guesses I'll go with the guys appreciated a manager who left them alone to be professionals. And we learned that young professionals today need someone on their ass to perform.

The biggest surprise for me was TLR stayed out of clubhouse matters. Guys initially we're actually happy to play for him. Luis and TA had positive things to say. Liam said it was a positive reason for him to sign with the team. Only a few guys have ripped him after leaving.

"That's Tim Anderson swinging at the first pitch."

Too bad he can't be "manipulated" into not being a dirt bag.

JR: have we done all we can to crush the few reminding fans at Soxtalk? Whomever will listen: Greg still has room to be even further depressed. JR: I have an idea!

My little league team always went to a Cub game. My parents bribed me with Sox tickets if I made straight A's. I eventually just bought my own damn tickets. The system was rigged against me lol

No. Sorry Bob, I don't believe I can. I'm still trying to figure out how we got ChiSox.
