OT: Bears & NFL Talk 84

[chicagoskycam]

Why not?

I mean the ownership who doesn't give a crap about team and winning hasn't worked out for Bears at this point

Why not have a Jerry Jones

At least we know people like Jones want to win and dont view .500 team as an achievement

IMO, they care about winning but they're just bad at managing the team, don't have a clear plan, too many cooks in the kitchen with a bit of bad luck mixed in. They have opted for more economic solutions in the past vs. building a winning franchise.

George denied the report, so there's that.

Lame. Why not "Fields of Dream?" Or "Doctor Fieldsgood?"

Not NFL but



USFL is back baby!!!!!!!!!!

Falcons are getting younger offensively as they rebuild

Ryan is going to be only holdover and I expect next draft the Falcons will go QB

For Titans they will have a real good 1-2 WR duo in AJ Brown and Julio Jones.

Matt Ryan wasn't that good last year but people will see he threw for a bunch of yards last year and think he was good.... which isn't all that impressive given he had the most attempts out of any QB in the league.

His Y/A & Y/C, interceptions, TDs, QBR & rating, and completion % stats were all mediocre to poor.

Are there worse staring QBs out there? Sure.... but he's not a good starter anymore. I don't think he's really been any good since their SB appearance.

RIP

Was 58-53-1 as Giants HC with a 3 playoff appearance and a run to SB

After NFL he coached for several years in now defunct UFL (Winning two championships)

As player he was drafted by Bears in 1972 but never played a game then found himself in World Football League. He had distinction of throwing final pass in WFL history as league folded shortly after

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Also 49ers having bad go with injuries already

 

[RayP]

I know he said he was going to do it, but it’s still a little shocking to see him actually missing checks now.

 

[HeisenBaez]

If he really wants to show the Packers he is serious, put in retirement papers.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sorta interesting to me that Rodgers is not getting same treatment as Favre

Remember Favre was attacked for not being thrilled with selection of his replacement in late 1st round in Rodgers ,, Now 15 years later Rodgers is pissed about selection of his replacement in late 1st round in Love yet media is talking about how disrespectful it is , etc for Packers to have selected his replacement

Favre also waffled back and forth between retiring and playing for a few years. Rodgers has not.

 

[chicagoskycam]

GB should just trade him, he still has a ton of value and how many years is going to play at this point. I really think he's looking forward to his career after football.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He wants to play out West so there isn't a large market for him and team he would have fit best just drafted a QB (49ers) and other team that he would fit haven't shown desire to make an offer that would force Packers hand (Broncos)

If he wanted out he should have publicly made it known immediately after season not waited to leak it to Schefter on draft day

Also if he really wants out he needs to drop the "Going West" part as there are not many viable trading spots overall and when you make it West only your left with almost nothing

I think the Raiders would totally trade for him, but that's just me.

Anyone know our cap situation?

Hopefully we have flexibility to look around at cuts around league during camps/preseason

Not sure they'd have the draft pick ammo. They don't have any extra picks anytime soon so they'd have to give up 1st round picks in the next 3 drafts and I'd think for Rodgers that GB might want a more immediate return. I would if I were them.

They're pretty tight. According to Spotrac, they have virtually no space with only late round picks signed.

[RayP]

Not sure who this guy is but come on baby let him be right.


Would love to see what GB thinks they can then get for a 40 year old QB who just sat out the prior year.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Rodgers will only be 38 ,, not 40

Also given what Cards got for a sitting Palmer from Raiders I think its safe to assume Packers will still get decent value

Better value then they could likely get now since more teams will be potential landing spots for ROdgers
