This is key. It's hard to pinpoint release, as it has two key elements. Some folks say release time is how fast they get rid of the ball, others say it's how fast the throwing motion is upon decision to throw. One gets the ball out faster, to avoid defensive pressure. The other gets the ball out faster to avoid defensive reaction. I can find stats for the former, but not the latter. The latter is something Justin is tremendously lacking due to mechanics. The former is due to processing speed...

Imagine the weird scenario where Fields begins to look like the real deal, then gets injured in week 8. Tyson Bagent comes in and does a Brock Purdy. Now, we have the future and can trade Fields for a first or second rounder before the draft. The scenarios are endless. It is a pipe dream to think we could get Harrison and Bowers in next year's draft. To be honest, I don't know who is be more thrilled with, as they are both generational talents. This year is so interesting for many reasons. The arrow is up!

It's like politics. It's only accurate when we agree with it. I was just busting balls...

So, now we like PFF...?

I couldn't edit the above post, but it shows what the draft could look like if we trade the top two picks. That's only on the assumption of Fields progressing in a manner that leadership feels we can build upon.

He is getting better, as expected. DL need an off season under their belt to evaluate, then gain the strength they need at the pro level. The good thing about Dexter is that he is already country strong, so NFL string will come quickly. I still think he is a hybrid, meaning he can play nose and 3T effectively. If that's what Flus wants from him, the perfect compliment to him would be another hybrid.

That being said, Borom has been a very pleasant surprise. Getting Jones back will then give us depth for the first time in decades. Year two of the rebuild is going the way it should. Next year is, nothing but, BPA up and down the board.

100% Players see and smell bullshit on a more emotional level than coaches do. It takes a coach longer to give up on a player. The players were probably, secretly, wishing that ESB would get those reps. Good blocking, effort and accurate routes mean so much to the timing of the offense, let alone the psyche of the offensive unit.

It's true about what he can make. But, it delays the 300 million guaranteed he'll get by another full year. So it's b.s.

He was at the game two weeks ago.

I have no words...???

Those options eliminate themselves very quickly through the "if/then" process. The receiver and QB are trained to read the same thing. If Fields is unsure, he is supposed to move on.

My app keeps crashing. Is anyone else having a problem?

He signed Edwards and Edmonds for the price of Roquan, plus got a second round pick. That's a big win. Looking back at Claypool, it was a desperation move to get some help for Justin. Poles will remember Tomlin and company for that fleece job. Walker and Ngakoue can't get to the QB because literally nobody is coming up the middle. Those guys generally take a year or two to get their NFL strength. Bummer we couldn't sign anyone to be an immediate 3T.

Lance Briggs is on with Kap every Monday. He told Kap the number one thing this team needs is a 3tech.

I truly believe the next step is a new QB and coaching staff. It would take a lot of balls and faith for Poles to keep the staff intact. The fact that our defense has done nothing in two years is enough to displace Flus. Bringing in a new coach and QB with an established line is the optimal situation for any young prospect.

Everyone needs to realize that this is one of the biggest rebuild efforts in NFL history. The McCaskey's have provided the brass the levity to do it right. As a result, the turnover has resulted in over 60 new players signed in the last two years. It takes time, with that said, luck has not been in our favor. Even if this season looks like a waste, it is not. Depth is being built regardless of the coaching staff. Whatever happens next has a better chance as a result. It's going to happen...

I think the Chase Claypool experiment is over. Things I learned today are; after week one Flus met with Claypool about his effort and informed him that he needed to apologize to his team or pack his bags. Claypool apologized and was given another chance. Last week, Claypool said he's not being properly utilized. He was not only inactive for the game. He was told to stay home. Flus started today, that Claypool will not be with the team this Thursday either. All I know now, is that he will traded, if not cut. I believe he's seem his last action with the Bears.

He's a good player as an inline TE. Seem and sit routes are his bread and butter. I'd love to get Brock Bowers as the guy with the wiggle. I believe he's going to be the next Kelce, but more athletic.

Caleb Williams is special. Super fast release, cannon arm, smart, cool and mobile...

I honestly couldn't imagine a better situation for a QB than for the bears to draft at #1. Rarely, if ever, does a #1 pick come into a situation where the talent up front is on the rise and to have established skill players. If the team plays hard for Flus and shows improvement throughout the season, he may have a case to stay. If Justin fails and they replace him with Bagent, then Bagent thrives, that's good for Getsy. If Bagent looks like Brock Purdy, look the F out, because we trade those top picks for 8 picks within the first three rounds and we are instantly deep everywhere. Somebody wake me up. I must be dreaming again...

Agree Justin is not it. Flus may not be it either, but I want things to be concrete before firing and scrapping people. I really like Poles. It may be that I'll always be an OL at heart, but I really believe his way will build something if it's allowed to go to fruition.

Rome wasn't built in a day guys. We all expected improvement, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm impatient too. This team has been snake bitten with injuries and the Nate Davis ordeal. I think once the OL is intact for a few games, we will see what the team looks like. If it's shit then, then it's shit. Not yet.

We should come up with a hybrid ranking system. There's Aikman, PFF, QBR and another one that escapes me. I think a system should factor in, first downs and have weighted points for sustained drives.
