Just checked a couple of sports news sites...they are reporting the resignation and nothing else.  Just family and personal stuff like everything is normal.

That's about all that's officially known right now, but the behind the scenes talk from some of their reporters makes it sound like it's about to get really weird.

No idea what to make of this yet.

If he gets hurt he gets hurt but he's playing well despite a lot of adversity.

And I'm happy for him on that front.

With that said though, you're familiar with his current head coach and the effect his management has had on previous quarterbacks who were much larger than Howell.

I'd absolutely b-tch about it.

Oh, I said at the time that Howell going to play under Rivera makes me nervous as hell. Rivera just doesn't seem to prioritize protecting his QBs in the least.

With Newton he could rationalize it because Cam was big and mobile.

I'm not sure how he rationalizes it now, or if he even still does.

So this story about the bears DC went from possible sex crimes charges, being raided by the FBI, to the guy actually being sick and needing to step away for his personal health and well being. Twitter lol 

That's his story (and he's apparently sticking to it) but insiders are... skeptical.

    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
    • Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.
