It tells me his pocket is collapsing. That and literally watching it happen on TV. One read and run yet he has been sacked 4 times in one half? Hmmmm

Who can he throw it to with no weapons and no time? Another terrible take. Running didn’t shorten Cam’s career, Watt’s hit to Cam’s shoulder while he was in the pocket did. Having Fields play behind this OL is more dangerous than having him run.

His OL has been all bust.

The Bears are going to shorten Fields career with this atrocious OL, but damn he has some heart and toughness.

Fields behind our OL would be interesting. Obviously needs an OC as well…

It’s people that don’t like “running QBs” and want to be right about not liking him before the draft.

He knows more about this position “than anyone on this board.” He knows more than the team that offered 2 firsts, more than the Panthers staff for turning it down and more than the NFL players that ranked Burns in the top 100. Why? Because he coached high school football….

https://www.nfl.com/videos/top-100-players-of-2022-brian-burns-no-76 I’ll let the actual NFL players decide instead of the old back up high school player from the 1980s.

Pressures CAN be as good as I stated. It can lead to bad decisions like INTs. All pass rushers miss on QBs because it’s a fine line between a good hit and roughing the passer. Burns is great and it looks like he is here to stay unless we get some insane offer for him so get use to him.

So CMC quits on his team when he could be cleared to play? He missed games in three separate stints in 2020: six games for an ankle sprain, four games with an A/C joint sprain, and four games with a glute strain. He missed another five games with a hamstring strain in 2021, and missed Week 12 onward with an ankle sprain. That injury history is not only alarming for its recency, but also because outside of the shoulder it's all lower body. His ankle, glute, hamstring, and ankle again have been hurt. Which means he's taking shots overtime. With that in mind, teams may have been wary to offer too much for McCaffrey. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/nfl/news/christian-mccaffrey-trade-injury-history/hatblf1dnzwqn8zpfieyynjb

Top 10 at 24. That list includes HoF guys line Donald that aren’t even edge rushers. You don’t think top 10 in the NFL is great? I do like how you claim we are overvaluing a guy after you cried we didn’t get enough from trading our always injured overpaid RB.

We overvalue a guy that a team just offered 2 firsts for. Makes sense….

Who cares what pick he was at this point it’s about production. Crosby is going to want to get paid too. Why do you think Burns is so bad against the run? Teams aren’t crushing us on the ground running his direction. Also keep in mind Burns was being coached by Snow who has been dropping him into coverage on 3rd and long. That’s a prime sack situation.

Von Miller is at the end of his career. He is still great, but taking him over a top 10 24 year old isn’t a good idea. Burns has more sacks than Crosby in equal number of games. Thank God you aren’t running a team. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/who-has-the-most-sacks-the-last-3-seasons

Top 10 in sacks over the past 3 years that doesn’t even include pressures which can be just as good sometimes.

Mayes is our cheaper possibly better version of that.

If Wilks doesn’t want him playing yet we probably shouldn’t either. He knows how to run a defense.

Yeah I’m not concerned about 1 vs 10 or wherever we are picking, but I want to shed this bloated vet contracts and acquire as much draft capital as possibly while keeping the young take to on rookie contracts. We can move up or down to take a QB in the first. Reset the cap for 2024 and build around our new rookie QB.

Winning QBs in the Super Bowl? Why not just sign Foles or Flacco then as I am sure they will be available this offseason? People get hung up on just winning the big game. We want sustained success like the Bills, Chiefs, Bengals (are starting to get), Packers/Saints (previously had), Steelers and similar franchises. The Steelers had Big Ben retire and immediately drafted a QB in the first even with a weak class (maybe he is the answer maybe not, but they are probably going to keep trying until they get their guy). They all have or had elite QBs that they drafted. Sure you can pull an Eagles and win with a great team or the Broncos and win with an elite defense, but those teams missed the playoffs afterwards and fired their coaches. Broncos are so desperate to find their QB they threw away a draft and huge money at Russ. SB victories are going to be a tough measurement as Tom Brady has such a large portion of them. We want sustained success and not to be the franchise constantly talking about the Super Bowl we won however many years ago.

No you don't trade away young talented players on rookie deals for picks because one is a sure thing for the same money.

Who should Tepper have chosen? It was between Wilks and McAdoo and McAdoo was fielding the worst offense in the NFL. I think WIlks was the best candidate and gives them the best chance to win. Tepper even came down to the locker room and gave Wilks the game ball. I'm ok with a 5 win team because we are "tanking" or building for the future. We are trading away picks to acquire CJ Henderson, Shenault, or Gilmore. Out focus is developing our young talent, resetting the salary cap (2023 takes the big hit and 2024 is wide open), and collecting draft picks. Throw in a high 1st round pick QB and I think we are headed in the right direction.

Wilks never "tanked" before in the way you are describing. He had a bad team with a rookie QB (Rosen) who was proven he doesn't belong in this league so yeah he struggled to win. Why would he tank as a first year coach with a rookie first round QB?? He was fired after one year because they struggled which was not by design. I mean last year we started off 3-0 with CMC so I don't see how our 5 wins last year were mostly without him?

I want to see Chinn in Wilk's defense! Maybe he will use him correctly.

Let's sign Sam to a max also and let him and Mac battle it out.

I love it when you talk dirty you filthy little tank...
