People aren't excited about guys like Ransom and Jimmy Horn Jr? Etienne already looks solid to me too. I feel like previous drafts weren't getting this type of review. For example, Zavala was getting hate year 1 if I recall correctly. We seem more optimistic about Dan's picks from what I have seen at least.

They already built that without intending to do so. 6 wins looks high and the possibility of worse is certainly on the table.

If they can't read a defense or wisely call plays based on the situation, a Carnegie course will only do so much.

You’re right, he would be better suited to write a sad book no one reads

Yep, pretty much. I don't know how anyone didn't see what was going on when he showed up to the Combine and hid underneath that hoodie and backpack all weekend. I guarantee you he'd been chowing down at the buffet as hard as he could and came in chubby to weigh in as heavy as possible.

I meant that it's low to criticize someone for using "um" repetitively when a vast majority do it. I doubt you're a well-respected orator among all your peers.

A simple dale Carnegie course would rectify this. It’s not hard. He and canales sound like idiots

Meh he is a bust. Time to admit it, let him go elsewhere and be someone else's problem. I guess how he ranks doesn't matter to me. Much like Rhule I was ready to move on after 2 years. His hype from last year was a sad attempt at hope that was always destined for the reality to disappoint this year. His highs were ridiculously subpar. But big time throws are now as useful as that test he did as a prospect.

I think you're assigning your opinion to others in this case. The rookies have played one game and only one pick did anything of substance.

As low as his stats?

Yeah, as I watch him sulk on the bench and all of us poo talking his play, I feel bad for him momentarily. Who wouldn’t want that opportunity? Who wouldn’t take it? And who would, as a competitor, willingly just throw in the towel and say, “you know what guys? I acquiesce. I’m not good enough.”? So I get that, and for those reasons, I feel bad for him. It’s not anything against him as a human being. It’s as a player. Because then I think about all of the hype leading up to his being drafted, and how he played a part in that. Knowing what limitations you have, and you refused to workout pre-draft at the combine. You swindled yourself into that opportunity. And even if you fail, and even though you cost our organization invaluable assets that fast tracked the Bears rebuild while we continue to struggle, you still walk away with life-changing, generational wealth. So, that’s where my sympathy ends. It’s a big boy game now. You’re not good enough. Period.

No but he’s just the tiniest, cutest little draft bust of all time Isn’t he isn’t our special little guy

The problem is, you view this in hindsight. I remember people being pretty stoked about this year's draft. Dan can't see the future. The draft is a roll of the dice. I think his picks have been more hit than miss so far. I can't remember the last time we were excited about UDFA's like this either. Norwell maybe? That's a long time.

hmm

Guys a multimillionaire and got a chance to be a big-time college player and a stint im the NFL. I wont shed any tears for him.

People have different words they use to stall while organizing their thoughts. He deserves plenty of criticism for his performance but the speaking is kinda low.

The Raiders earned that pick fair and square. They didn't trade up to #1.

Which season are you talking about? Bryce's rookie season?

In the conversation for biggest of all-time.

He practically already speaks a different language with all the um, um, ums.

1 quarter in and the season was over

Corbett doesn't deserve excuses. He was dogshit. Give Young two inches of height and bad snaps are still bad snaps. Not that the good snaps led to much anyway.

I told ya'll not to be so eager to pile on Caleb Williams and the Bears. We got our own problems.

No doubt, but on THIS team does paying a top 6 RT make sense? That's my point. That money/cap space is needed for the future, not the present.

Who cares? Sixteen more games to finish the story. We all have our predictions and our rankings and at the end of the day, the numbers will be what they are.
