Bears Fans talk DJ Moore...

hey i know you idiots are more concerned with stupid poo like "attitude" and "grit" or whatever it is low info posters are obsessed over but here's a smart dude talking real words about the person the team you cheer for just signed.

Just saw that the Panthers signed DJ Moore. That's a nice pickup, for what I assume was pretty cheap. He's a quality nickel DB if you run a zone-heavy scheme, and he's got a serious knack for turnovers. Dude has hands like a wide receiver, he's smart in coverage, and he breaks on passes really really well. Also he was a pretty good punt returner in college IIRC, but he never really got to do that in Chicago because, you know, greatest return man in history and whatnot.

The downside is that Moore doesn't have quite enough long speed to keep up with fast receivers downfield, so (1) he's never going to be an outside corner and (2) you probably don't want to put him man-to-man on a slot receiver running a seam route. Some big slot guys in the Jason Avant/Marques Colston mode will also have a significant size advantage on him, but that's never really been a problem, maybe because his vertical leap is like 40". Even considering the speed limitations, he's a very good nickel corner. To tell you the truth, I don't really know why the Bears let him hit the market.

Huddle when an offensive player scores a TD: OMG what a show off can't he just hand the ball to the ref what is up with this arrogance we're not winning blah blah blah

Huddle when aggressive defensive player is signed: Yes more attitude is what we need on defense this guy's got SWAG can't wait until he rips someone's head off in a game

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
