They may be fast, but they wouldn't be anywhere near as skeered as me 😐

Forget running, I would start digging. 

The first guy I had to block in 1-on-1 drills in college practice was against a NT (I was a TE--it was not fair, and the results proved that) who weighed 328 lbs.  I was a freshman weighing in at 220.  Not good in math, and running was not an option.  I felt like a moth hitting the windshield of an 18 wheeler.

With so many teams inquiring about veteran QBs, I’m guessing most teams don’t think highly of the incoming class, other than Trevor. It wouldn’t surprise me if the rest are available at our pick.

Agree! I don’t see how Lance goes top 10 off that one year and then didn’t play this whole year. I really think he falls out of top 10

Too be fair, neither guy had a chance to succeed in those systems. Honestly, I think Trubisky would do pretty well with our style of offense.

So would Winston. The issue with both of them is how to account for the inevitable boneheaded plays? Razor thin margins with what we have now.

That’s a BS excuse. Trubisky is just flat out terrible, he’s the one holding back that offense. And Darnold also stinks, he’s the same QB he was at USC.

Have you ever watched a Bears game? It’s like Shula on ice... 

The Bears were idiots drafting him, he.... sh1t no QB they’ve had, has fit that system. 
 

Really what’s the worst that could happen? We lose all our games, so we draft higher next year, except we actually have picks that we didn’t piss away on Wilson.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
