Again

Fitterer’s job is on the line this season. He is going all in like I’ve been saying for weeks now

Just saw the price.

It's nowhere near as much as I thought we'd have to give up

Burrow tore his ACL is rookie year so and they finished with a high pick selected Chase.  I would argue that we have a better roster than Burrow's rookie year Bengals.  It's because we are trading up to acquire the top pick while the Bengals "earned" the top pick that year.  Mac Jones was 10-7 in 21 for the Pats and not many rookies started in 2022.  The Dolphins won 10 Tua's rookie year, but I think he only played in 10 of those games.  

agree, I think this team is better than what rookie joe had, but joe is light years above whats available this year. 

mac jones had goat bill and I think the pats lead the year with 17.8(??) points allowed that year. best in the league, by far.

i can not keep up with tua and the games he played, started, and finished. I believe that season was mainly the last magic form fitz.......

just lots to ask and the unknown factor is hurtin my last two brain cells......

I doubt it his rookie year, but he could have us competitive and if he is the answer to our QB problems who cares about the picks we lost?

In order for the value part to work, playoffs is almost a must. 

If hes thee "guy", no one including me would care what happens in 2023.

Yeah Bears new WR room is:

Moore, Mooney, Claypool and Kmet at TE. Having Moore added is going to open things up for Mooney and Claypool. And now we have no #1 or #2 WR.

I don't think that can be right 

If it is it's not likely all in one year

Didnt they sign him last year? This is getting vastly over-looked, i believe it adds 35 million more to the dead cap. 

Another lane it may only add 20 million, which puts red numbers on the table. 

But HORAY.....1st overall pick, right?!?!?

This needs to be confirmed.
