The stats show pretty bad third down performance, but kind of elite on 1st and 2nd downs*

His qb coach, Greg Olson, is pretty well regarded too.*

I feel properly whelmed.

Turning Geno Smith into a better tan average QB is a pretty good feat*

I think the ‘what good OC would want to come here for a lame duck coach’ stuff was overblown

Some nerd stats on Waldron across multiple tweets.
-
Carl Spackler
January 22, 2024, 7:49:42
So VIV I remember we talked slants and Getsy. Are those just not pieces of the McVay offense?
-
Carl Spackler
January 22, 2024, 7:35:23
i'll need to watch more seahawks to give that a real answer.*
-
VIV
January 22, 2024, 10:33:57
Apparently Waldron is/was involved with QB Collective which is who Caleb Williams is training with
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
January 22, 2024, 7:08:31
This seems like as good of a hire as we could have hoped for*
-
Carl Spackler
January 22, 2024, 6:31:17

VIV
January 22, 2024, 10:01:11
Seattle had a lot of talent and I don't feel they maximized it.*
-
gullit
January 22, 2024, 18:38:02
They had Geno fucking Smith at QB and Waldron got him to throw for 4200 yards and 30 TD.
-
VIV
January 22, 2024, 18:52:31
And we had Justin fuckin Fields anyway Eberflus is still the coach and that's all that matters.*
-
gullit
January 22, 2024, 20:25:57
Except fields was nowhere near that productive. *
-
VIV
January 22, 2024, 20:30:08
I'm curious why he went from an NFL position coach to HS OC within a 3 year period
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
January 22, 2024, 5:43:53
The UFL stop was only one year because the team folded.
-
VIV
January 22, 2024, 10:08:41
Yeah I’m curious how he ended out from an NFL position coach under Belichick
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
January 22, 2024, 10:18:30
it's a great catch*

Watched more on Nabers. I take back my comments. This guy is a STAR *
-
MC
January 22, 2024, 20:32:10
It feels like the buzz is trending towards Odunze being drafted before Nabers, if I had to bet on it
-
OB25
January 21, 2024, 11:55:58
Odunze might as well change his name to Keenan Allen 2.0. *

MY GUY! I like Brian Thomas a lot in a trade down, but not sure how far they can go.

Carl Spackler

Once Thomas does pro day or combine, he’s top 16. Feels like a classic spring riser *

After all that happened at ASU under his and Herm's watch, he sure fell upward*

What’s the most compelling reason to keep Fields? Being able to trade down for more picks? *
-

January 19, 2024, 14:22:37
That and the guys apparently love him*
-
bjl63
January 19, 2024, 14:29:59
My only reason to keep him. I'm at the point though, if they keep Fields, I will not be looking

If he's got the juice, he'll excel wherever he goes, so I don't give a fig about prognostications*
-
Sammich
January 19, 2024, 14:27:38
I think his size may end up getting nitpicked to death, and he could end up on a contender *

uofi1998

If Nabers, Odunze, Alt, and Turner are all gone by 9
-
bjl63

Takes two to deal. Not sure sure who trade up worthy if the first 8 picks play out like that *
-
MC
January 19, 2024, 13:34:39
If this happened, it could not play out any worse for the Bears
-
bjl63
January 19, 2024, 13:37:32
Agreed. Nightmare top 8. *
-
MC
January 19, 2024, 13:53:00
As of now it seems to be the most likely scenario, but hopefully someone does something dumb*

Fuaga is a very solid RT

A lot of these mocks have suddenly had Newton dropping a ton*
-
OB25
January 19, 2024, 13:20:59
He’s short. I expect him more 20-30 than before that
-
snipes824
January 19, 2024, 13:27:05
i think it's more than he specifically has to be a 3-technique DT
-
VIV
January 19, 2024, 13:38:52
Right that too*

yes.*
-
Ari Gold
January 18, 2024, 20:39:01
I need to see more, but it’d be really hard for me to put Maye over Williams in what I’ve seen.
-
VIV
January 18, 2024, 19:48:00
90% take CW. CW is an absolute top prospect*
-
gvibes

this is just as much about scouting caleb williams as it is maybe hiring kingsbury

I reiterate my head banging.

Wonder how much of that is just gonna be Caleb homework*
-
Carl Spackler
January 18, 2024, 13:15:19
Kould they hire both Kingsbury and Kubiak? Maybe make one of them kuarterback koach*
-
Sammich
January 18, 2024, 13:12:32
Gotta imagine if they hire Kliff that Caleb is the guy*
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
January 18, 2024, 13:00:08
Need to trade Fields first, before you make that hire though, right? Otherwise, lose some trade
-
LovetheChief
January 18, 2024, 13:08:15
Maybe a bit, but I’d guess most teams assume they are drafting a QB
-
DT
January 18, 2024, 19:18:09
you could feasibly still say you'd keep fields and draft williams. *
-
VIV

3 with a 1 lean. I think it takes a trade of that magnitude or more to move off of 1.
-
Carl Spackler
January 18, 2024, 13:38:36
Keep 1/1. Draft Williams. Hope WAS takes Maye. Then deal 9 and other assets to move up to 3
-

caleb + DJ + MHJR would be boner jamz '24*
-

Mixed. Great haul but I'm currently excited and 100% on board with trading Fields and drafting CW.

Somewhere on the 1-3 continuum*
-
gvibes
January 18, 2024, 13:15:05
that 2026 1st could be relatively low-value
-

January 18, 2024, 13:13:38
Thrilled with the haul. Thrilled.*
-
LovetheChief
January 18, 2024, 13:01:20
I would be pretty disappointed we passed on Williams
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
January 18, 2024, 12:58:02
mixed. that's a great haul and i'd be excited about MH Jr
-
VIV
January 18, 2024, 12:57:01
If they went this route, I’d also be ultra aggressive on draft day in looking for someone…
-
OB25
January 18, 2024, 13:04:12
Opposite for me. Those future firsts are Fields insurance*
-
Carl Spackler
January 18, 2024, 13:11:46
I guess I’m banking on the Bears 1st hopefully being well out of QB range…
-
OB25
January 18, 2024, 13:18:39
I wouldn’t worry about loading up the next 2 years in that instance.
-
Carl Spackler
January 18, 2024, 13:49:22
plenty of great QBs were drafted outside the top 5 or top 10

If the market for him is worse than expected, maybe a 3 is the best overall pick that you get…

He’s good but still inconsistent and doesn’t scare you like the elite QB’s do.

I think he's in that 10-15 range of QBs

CanHartlebHireSnider

Carl Spackler

Which is absolutely wild. Hard pass on him*

Yeah 2nd round floor but I expect a team with an existing QB to roll the dice in the 1st

Yes, I’d put the over/under on his draft slot at 20.

If that’s the scouting report I don’t see how you could possibly pass on him

DT
January 11, 2024, 11:39:43
i think his upside is that he's a top 5 QB in the league, something the bears have never had.

That would tip their hand that they’re keeping Fields and trading down, though

Unless Fields has no trade value, that option doesn’t make much sense to me

The dirty secret I think is that Fields might actually have little trade value*

If you get your RG for the next 10 years, yes.

god dammit, this was meant to go under VIV

Sammich
January 8, 2024, 12:29:45
Of interest to nobody here, but it’s really deflating to realize the bears needs at #9 are identical
-
snipes824
January 8, 2024, 10:17:58
Yeah I can imagine how painful that win was, especially because it made Pats fans happy too*
-
OB25
January 8, 2024, 11:13:14
Yeah it was the real double whammy. Slide down and give the pats another franchise QB (potentially)*

Is there anyone out there that wants to keep Getsy?

Carl Spackler
January 8, 2024, 8:46:59
The post game breakdowns are as brutal as we expected them to be

RD
January 8, 2024, 12:21:18
Fields pressured on 15/24 drop backs.
-
Carl Spackler
January 8, 2024, 12:30:12
It’s all projection but this is how I feel - Fields is one tough motherfucker
-
RD
January 8, 2024, 12:33:46
if you ditch getsy, why are you keeping the guy who hired Getsy and Alan Williams?*
-
gvibes
January 8, 2024, 8:57:19
Not gonna get an argument from me, I want Flus and Getsy gone.*

Poldark's prediction

Poldark
January 8, 2024, 8:44:52
If it’s just Getsy that gets the chop, i think it’ll be Frank Reich*
-
VIV
January 8, 2024, 8:47:52
Again, Fields has huge blindspots in his game but the gameplan yesterday was terrible.

Spinoff: I've got 1 highly rated guy on my do not draft list at #9. Steering clear of Brock Bowers.
-
Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 21:15:19
Mine is Chop Robinson*
-
bjl63
January 7, 2024, 21:50:53
I've seen some recent stuff with him slipping to late first, which seems more appropriate.
-
Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 21:55:00
Yeah I do. They basically said he’s an athlete with no pass rush moves
-
bjl63
January 8, 2024, 7:49:26
PFF has him ranked 46th now*
-
OB25
January 7, 2024, 22:12:54
The guy from NFL Stock Exchange does the PFF rankings.

Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 22:37:41
Should be some really good options at 9
-
VIV
January 7, 2024, 21:48:02
25 said elsewhere, but I've got tunnel vision on Odunze at 9 and am worried he's gone.
-
Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 21:54:31
I saw a mock with him going 6 yesterday. *
-
uofi1998
January 8, 2024, 6:23:22
Even though they still need WR help, I’m hoping the Falcons decide they can’t use another top 10…
-
OB25
January 7, 2024, 22:49:23
Yep, hope they go OT*
-
Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 22:53:09
Alt is about as safe a tackle prospect as it comes
-
VIV
January 7, 2024, 22:20:19
I’ll be interested to see how people rate this class because the top seems stacked.
-
Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 22:36:25
What don't you like about Turner?*
-
JacobRDaugherty
January 7, 2024, 21:59:28
He’s probably the only defender I’d consider at 9.
-
Carl Spackler
January 7, 2024, 22:32:27
I agree on avoiding him. I think Dallas Turner is way too low on Mock drafts*
-
JacobRDaugherty
January 7, 2024, 21:41:08
Just a reminder of how good Merril Hoge is at evaluating QBs than everyone else
-
JacobRDaugherty
January 7, 2024, 21:04:19
Impressive. Has he weighed in on this year’s class at all?*
-
OB25
January 7, 2024, 21:26:59
Wow I haven’t heard that name in years*

illini21

I’ll forever remember his break down of Manziel versus Skip Bayless

I also loved him saying Mack would be better than Clowney and providing

JacobRDaugherty

One of many massive Ls for Skip, yet he still makes millions. *
-
VIV
January 7, 2024, 21:10:08
like DeBeers, he makes all his money from engagement*
-
Sammich
January 7, 2024, 21:32:20
The fact that our best player is saying this about Getsy gives me hope

OB25

How much difference is there between the two top QBs?

TarheelIllini

He’s consensus #1 but probably not clear

It’s as good of a landing spot as any #1 pick QB could ever hope for*
-
OB25
January 7, 2024, 18:56:00
Are you assuming they trade to WSH or something? Because Chi will never, ever be the best
-
John Coctostan

I don’t believe that anything that happened 20+ years ago is actually relevant

Everything you’re saying makes sense. It would also be the first time the bears ever actually

As much as I wish it could still be Fields, it’s time to ruin the next QB in Chicago

CanHartlebHireSnider

Ari Gold

Maybe it’s early, but it’s wild to me how many of you are flipping after this game*
-
Carl Spackler

I wasn’t gung ho on either choice but I probably lean drafting one
-

I was on the keep Fields AND pick Williams train. I’m merely less enthusiastic about

GMAW

That’s why i did the two polls. *

JFG
January 7, 2024, 18:27:26
I had my fun with all the trade-down mock drafts, but it’s gotta be Caleb
-
OB25
January 7, 2024, 18:22:26
Then they have to clean house and bring in a brand new staff*
-
Mrap24
January 7, 2024, 18:28:43
It would lessen the pressure on Caleb Williams to have a bigger story elsewhere on the team.
-
opossum jenkins
January 7, 2024, 18:31:41
And Harbaugh wins wherever he goes, despite being completely insane. *

VIV

Right. The guy is legit*
-
opossum jenkins
January 7, 2024, 18:34:15
YES. PLEASE*
-
VIV
January 7, 2024, 18:30:56
If Alt is still there at 9, they’d be stupid for passing on him.
-
VIV
January 7, 2024, 18:24:27
I can’t comprehend having the #1 overall pick two years in a row and not drafting a QB
-
opossum jenkins
January 7, 2024, 18:08:48
Whatever Harbaugh prefers.*

Han Soto
January 7, 2024, 18:05:50

CanHartlebHireSnider

I’d rather keep Justin and name him player-coach than have JJ*

Hub was on the score on Friday and compared McCarthy to Mahomes lol*

illini21

He'll say that and when called out will use word salad to say he was actually saying something

illini222
January 7, 2024, 18:55:50
Hub is consistent; David Terell was supposed to be Michael Irvin :( *
-
RD
January 7, 2024, 18:49:49
And we can never let him forget his projection of Aaron Donald as a 3rd round talent*
-
bjl63
January 7, 2024, 19:15:07
Maybe he just hates 3 techs. The great when healthy Tommie Harris was not to his liking
-
RD
January 7, 2024, 19:48:44
IIRC he liked Timmy Jernigan better than Donald from that draft*

Sammich
January 7, 2024, 19:55:27
Wooooolveeeessss (correct)

RD
January 7, 2024, 20:04:25
I’d draft Williams if they fire the entire staff.
-
JFG
January 7, 2024, 18:04:31
I fire everyone and let any prospective coaches know they can choose their QB of the future. *
-
VIV
January 7, 2024, 18:22:20

January 7, 2024, 18:54:01
Harbaugh was a a home run. Or Ben johnson*

Yep, we did the same with Mitch and Fields. *

the coach has to be a part of this or i’m not sure it matters.*
