Ahh, I gotcha. Hadn't really thought of it that way. Was just thinking about the opinions for so than the thresholds, but that is a good point

On average men hit their physical peak in the mid-late 20s. How long they can sustain it depends on how they care for themselves and their bodies. That's not to say that some pro athletes may not hit it sooner but for most peak performance comes between the ages of 25-29 at least according to research I've read. It might also explain why Poles tends to focus on FA within the range of ages and eschew those older than that as far as longer term deals go.

I’m just saying, they could literally have the exact same opinion of all of them as players but one team have 15 first round grades and another have 22. Could be that the Giants require you to be a projected pro bowl level player in year 1 to have a first round grade whereas the Niners just need you to be a starter. It’s largely to do with the fact that the Giants are usually picking top 15 and the Niners are not hence the higher threshold. Honestly I’m not a big fan of assigning a round to a player at all because one year a 77 grade player (really good day one backup and eventual starter) will be the 18th best player in the draft and the next year he’ll be the 72nd - extreme example but there’s a guy who can be a 1st round pick or a 3rd rounder purely based on the relative draft classes.

It's a ridiculous and completely invalid way to analyze it. Let's take a different position like DE/Edge. Is Khalil Mack therefore considered a miss because he didn't re-sign with the Raiders? Dozens of players leave their original team in FA every year for any number of reasons including the most obvious economic ones. I'd love to see this ESPN guy present this theory in some academic sense. It's worthless.

Yes, and the difference in those figures between those two teams is interesting

My favorite take on that movie is that Ferris was never real in the first place and it's all Cameron's fever dream of who he wishes he was. I also think it's kind of funny thinking about Jeffery Jones chasing Ferris (a highschool kid) all over town... Even though what Jeffery Jones did in real life is not funny at all.

this is exactly why I joined this forum. I had to get away from a pretty toxic fan environment..both from the fans and the media, and "content creators" lol. I'm convinced that the last superbowl loss left many people psychologically damaged - the negativity and clickbait out there was/is insane. I'll admit I had trouble sleeping the night after as well, but that's life..ups and downs. Personally, losing to Mahomes was kind of what I expected. The team just didn't feel right to me in the playoffs. The Harbaugh losses hurt more for some reason (those rosters were so stacked everywhere...and losing to old Flacco?? ugh), but everyone has a different experience.

I can't agree with the methodology at all. It's ludicrous. For the past 20 years or more WR have made themselves the divas of NFL players. They've pushed their pay scale to the upper limit of all non-QB positions. Some teams can't afford to keep them once they're out of their rookie deal so they redraft the position and start over. How does the WR who signs with another team in FA come into the picture when he continues to produce at a high or even All Pro level. He's surely not a miss but this way of analyzing it would say he was. Sorry brother Jim but there is not even one serious analyst or statistician that wouldn't laugh this approach out the door.

But if it was yesterday he'd be a Bear tomorrow.

His real name is Jer'Zhan, but people are calling him Johnny. Either is correct.

I admit that my view is from afar but you all have to admit that in one way or another and one place or another the Bears will get their new stadium. The lakefront location would be both beautiful and unique and if it does bring a SB and other national events it will contribute to the economy outside of what the Bears produce. On the flipside Arlington is probably a more suitable location for building a stadium with an accompanying entertainment district and I don't doubt that it will cost significantly less to build there than on the Lakefront. We also know that what ever numbers they're handing out now may be as much as 50% more upon completion. I don't have a horse in this race but to me keeping an NFL team attached to downtown seems to be a better move than building in the "burbs". The Broncos went through this in Denver when they built the new stadium virtually on top of the old one and unlike Coors Field it's quite distant from major entertainment too. I have no idea which way it will fall but if the city wants to keep them I don't know of any other locations that would work any better. And if the city is not handling it's debt obligations prudently that not on the Bears. IIRC it's pretty much been that way for half a century or more. At least the team is taking on a major stake in it's costs.

I got Caleb, Maye, Daniels all going top 9 with Alt and another Tackle going top 9(Chargers and Titans) Harrison 3 to New England if they don’t move back if not 4 to Arizona. That’s 6. Final 3 would be Nabers, an EDGE and whatever Chicago does at 9. Does someone jump up for Odunze? Douglas won’t get jumped B2B years will he?

We drove down to Oregon with the kids for spring break and spent a few days in Portland (the rest of the time in Cannon Beach, which is stunning). It was my third time visiting, but my first time with kids. Totally different experience obviously. As Refugee said, there are so many great breweries, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and it's just culturally a very funky and vibrant place. Also has a real blue collar edge that doesn't get talked about much. On this visit we mostly did kid stuff, but even that was fun. It's a cool city. Edited to add: Only bad part was I got jumped by a pack of gangsters who took my spleen

Sean Payton isn’t gonna move up for a QB with the way that Broncos roster looks. I think they trade back. Pressure is on Vegas/Minnesota to go get their guy if they have one. Though I think Minnesota will stick with Darnold for a year. I think it’s a lot of QB smoke right now, teams are not tryna bring you guys into poorly built infrastructures. I can see New England for example trading back and building out the roster or taking MHJ if they don’t have a good trade available. I think the teams that definitely take QBs are Chicago(Williams), Washington(Maye) and Vegas(Daniels trade up)

I've decided I don't want to trade up tomorrow simply because having 4 picks on Friday will be fun as hell

“First round grade” is subjective from team to team

don'tya know....

pretty sure we used a 30 visit on coleman, or zeroed in on him at the senior bowl or something. definitely have seen something of that sort

Happily?

Caleb Williams becomes a Bear today.
