A long time PSL holder who I trust told me today that he heard the team’s pro scouts have been keeping a close eye on Justin Fields recently. He theorized we could trade Burns for Fields and picks. I thought it was interesting bc Fields is a lot like Cam and we already know the Bears want Burns and we need picks. Fields has looked great recently. Tepper is close with the McCaskeys. Something to absolutely keep an eye on. How would you feel about getting back into the first and pick it up Fields? 

I would be shocked if that happened. Poles will not give up either 1st round pick for Burns, when he only gave up a second for Montez Sweat, who is a much better player. Then to turn around and pay him? No thanks.

As dumb as it sounds to mortgage your future and then give up on the pick after a year, it would be the most Tepper-esque move. So it could happen. Not saying Bryce is any good but Tepper would get further obliterated by the media if he dumped his all star point guard after a season.

We essentially traded Christian McCaffery, DJ Moore, Jalen Carter, and this years’ first (Caleb Williams?) for…

…Bryce Young, Johnathan Mingo, DJ Johnson, Chandler Zavala, and a 5th round pick.

That GM has to be gone on Monday.

If we had a vet (including Dalton) starting this year, we wouldn't have had the number one pick. Caleb Williams would not be in the math...unless Tepper, Fitterer and company made another stupid move like trading a bunch of draft capital for a rookie. This year's first was never in the cards for us, but it was in the cards for Chicago due to all the mis-dealing.

Fields? Ummm, I wouldnt give up anything for him. Yes, Young has had a rough year but Fields? Come on, he is better than Young currently of course but its Justin Fields we are talking about. No thanks

The same Justin Fields who has been playing good football post-injury.

Okay fine, whatever this year’s 1st turned into (maybe not Caleb Williams, but still), would you trade:

Christian McCaffery, DJ Moore, Jalen Carter, and this years 1st for…

Bryce Young, Johnathan Mingo, DJ Johnson, Chandler Zavala, and a 5th?

We desperately need a new GM.

No I would not. I've said it in the past that I'm generally reluctant to trade day one or even day two picks for unproven kids that haven't taken the first NFL snap. What we traded was tremendous, and one simply has to be right---not fúcking "convicted"---"right," when you trade so much draft capital, as well as veteran playmakers for a guy out of college. 

Now, I realize that sometimes you want to move up if a player you like starts falling, but that generally only costs an arm, not both arms and legs. When you made the trade that we made, you have to be "right!"

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
