2023-24 NFL Season Thread

One thing that worries me about Dexter and to some extent pickens, while I totally see why bears drafted him and was someone that followed Brugler so their value seemed normal...

The draft picks that bears fans have hated have all tended to be pretty bad.

They hated Floyd. They hated Trubs. I remember a feeling of hate for our Ashford TE but I don't even remember his name anymore. They hated...not getting george pickens and were probably right and, you know, jury is still out on Gordon.

While draft picks people have loved have a middling success rate (the love was kinda strong for Riley Ridley), it does make me nervous.

But I like that it gives a pretty clear thing to look for. Can Eberflus/coaches actually mold a raw athletic guy like htis? He's less of a project than Dominique Robinson. Can they convert one of these guys to a long-term starter?

Adam Shaheen (baby Gronk as some said). I wanted to see more of Ridley but I also wondered if I wanted that because of what I saw with his brother and how much they lacked talent at wide receiver.

They need to hit on these picks and have some of them become long term starters. One draft won’t fix everything, but it makes subsequent drafts easier if more players pan out.

Yeah, need at least 2 of the first four picks to be long-term, and hopefully 2 of their 4th round or later ones. That would be a very good draft. And ideally we find we have some plus starters soon.

While 2 thursdays after sundays is rough, I do feel like having a young team should help, esp because it offers those "mini byes". Bears got a lot out of their post-washington mini-bye last year.

I already circled the bears chargers Sunday night game as the game the bears become contenders haha. That said - that is a perfect night for my kids to see their first pro football game.

My hope is this is what the plan was for finding a defensive end.  The waiver wire.

June cuts almost here.  That’s like a whole new wave of free agency sometimes.

Since then, Shannon Sharpe liked another tweet that contains a frontal assault on Skip Bayless.

Sharpe has clicked the little heart on this tweet from Dan Clark, a baseball writer with more than 50,000 followers: “Shannon Sharpe has outgrown Skip Bayless. He is far superior. He has a wonderfully bright future ahead. Bayless, meanwhile, won’t find another partner. His career will nosedive because he is a piece of s%*#.”
