Lol. No it's not. It's not anything.

Passer rating is a formula that compares flawed counting stats and has no situational adjustments. Your stat of choice is "narrative". Have fun with that, football Greg

Are you sure about Thibs coaching again? I don't know that he's a good hire. He lacks any of the qualities that make a good off the court head coach.

Running back this season? Wouldn't they wait until Howard walks?

Again, if you put aside your narrative and look at what actually happened on the field, you would realize that Trubisky had an amazing season on 3rd down and in other high value situations. Rodgers, Goff, and Ryan have played better in previous years, but this season they did not situationally play as well. And Watson is good but he's just not as good as Trubisky.

You know, if a quarterback passed on every play, nitetrain would think he's the best player of all time. Because counting stats. I can't believe there are still fans like this.

Whatever you say, Skip Bayless Oh wait, I just insulted Skip Bayless. Trubisky is as good or better than Watson. Period.

I would just draft a fast kid. I'm not ready to sink more FA money into the WR.

Amen to that

As an aside: How freaking crazy is it that we are saying the Bears have no major needs? This entire draft (even without the first couple of picks) is depth. I'm pleased.

Fair, but he's not good anymore

Alshon doesn't solve our no number one, either.

I see what you're saying, but Dez Bryant is a worse Robinson. He doesn't really add any dimensions to our offense. And I'm a Cowboys guy generally.

This is a good point. Bears have draft picks and the luxury to maybe address this. There's nothing they clearly need to draft this year for reasons other than to improve depth.

I'm using a superior, situational stat to tell you you're wrong.

It also implies that he believes teams need a number one receiver to win the Super Bowl. We know that's not true (uh, patriots)

None of those measure player quality well. They're only pieces of the puzzle. QBR isn't great either but it takes more valuable information into consideration.

They're all bad takes based on narratives. Most are false.

Right. Teams play to the stat sheet long term, but any one game is such a big deal. Part of the reason why the NFL playoffs are so difficult.

He's statistically not a better player than Trubisky. Nothing really to disagree with.

There's no question he's the second most valuable player on that defense. His impact on the field is enormous.

The local media has a word for most of these takes. It starts with "Out of town" and I'll let you finish it with what you think is appropriate. Most of these takes are narrative based and not based in reality.

That's freaking amazing.

Good thing Anthony Miller had an awesome season.

This is actually pretty crazy, because QBR is a rounded QB stat.
