The thing that angers me the most about the future...

The thing that angers me most about this franchise also killing my hope for the future is the current crop of draftees and how we are in no position to take advantage. We are in the era where players that we grew up watching and idolizing have children or family members that are about to go pro. We aren't in a position to draft or develop this talent and it is extremely disheartening. These athletes are born to past legends, around the game their whole life, love the game, and are meticulously prepared for the next level. Names like Harrison, Maye, and Manning come to mind. This year Drake Maye and likely Marvin Harrison Jr are coming out, but we have no 1st round pick. Drake Maye's father was a QB, he's 6'4" 225 and athletic, has two brothers that won National titles. Harrison is damn near 6'5", runs like a deer, and catches anything you throw at him. He was raised by a NFL HOF father, so you know he is meticulous about route running and making himself available for the QB as his father did for Peyton. It is similar to when we drafted CMC. Of course he ran routes and had better hands than any RB we'd seen maybe ever. These franchise changers are entering the league at a time when we are garbage and should have access to draft them, but we don't because of our meddling owner and trade happy moron of a GM! 

I don't know, but I feel we could've done like San Fran did in the late 2010 era and built our defense up with the draft picks we received while we sucked. As we continued to be garbage, we keep making the picks, and then boom the offensive guys would be there. Chicago has the potential to have Harrison, Moore, Maye if they don't decide to keep Fields, and the added haul of our draft picks by the end of the Spring. Imagine how much hope that would inspire no matter how moronic the owner. I don't know where to start looking for it here.

It all comes back to Tepper. He was hyper focused on thinking we're a QB away and he directed his yes man Scott Fitterer to do his bidding. The attempts to acquire a QB got more and more desperate each time to the point we finally backed ourselves into a corner that could seal our fate for the next few years minimum. And at a time where our division and the NFC is ripe for the taking. Fug the Tepper's.

We traded two #1 overalls, CMC, and DJ Moore for Bryce Young and DJ Johnson.

This is some of the most blatant professional sports incompetence ever.

DT Jalen Carter (#9 overall 2022)

RB Christian McCaffery (#8 overall 2017)

QB Caleb Williams (#1 overall 2024)

WR DJ Moore (#24 overall 2018)

-for-

Bryce Young, Jonathan Mingo, DJ Johnson, Chandler Zavala

Great work front office!

(That proposal wouldn’t even go through in a middle school fantasy football league)

At least we only have to go one year without a first. If Young truly is a horrific bust we'll be in a position to draft a QB in the next draft. We've given away some good players yes but our draft capital going forward isn't in terrible shape. Hopefully with a competent GM and HC in place we can get things turned around fairly quickly.

      Tuesday tweets and news

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
