such an L trade for the bears.

I’m not sure I see this as an L. Fields gets a weapon and the Bears weren’t going to pay Smith the money he wanted. They had half a year left on Smith and a year and a half with Claypool. Next years Bears team will have Mooney, Claypool and a first round WR to go along with 125+m in cap space for defensive help.

claypool is a JAG though.

Is he though? Fields works with Mooney. Is Mooney significantly better than Claypool? I don’t think so. Claypool is significantly better than everyone on the team outside of Mooney. This gives Fields two starting caliber WRs in the NFL. Claypool has gone over 850 yards two seasons in a row. How many Panthers make it to 850? Only DJ.

Looks like the Bears are using a similar approach to what the Panthers did years ago when we added big WR's in Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess to make up for Cam's inaccuracy.

Bears  WR's are now Claypool, N'Keal Harry, Equanimeous St. Brown 

Mooney

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
