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!"

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
