BayRaider Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 3 hours ago, CWood21 said: Realistically speaking, the odds of the Saints and Packers picks being both in that 29-32 range are very unlikely since it'd require them both to make the NFC Championship, which doesn't seem overly likely at this point. Add on the odds of the Bears being bottom 10 seems unlikely as well. So you're talking about astronomically low odds at this point. Realistically speaking, you're probably talking about one pick of the Saints and Packers being in that 26-30 range, while the other falls in that 20-24 range while the Bears pick falls in that 10-18 range. Ill give up a 2nd Rounder to pick twice in the 10-18 range than have two picks around 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called the Bears/Packers debate over after one week so I did the same with JG to show how ridiculous his statement was. Your statement didn't make my statement sound rediculous, you only made a fool out of yourself Seemed pretty evident that Rodgers and Packers are the superior team right now. I was giving the bears their due by saying the bears have a better roster overall but I guess bears fans are still upset about the blown lead. Its ok, Rodgers will eventually retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Curious if any of the outspoken people in this thread have changed their minds at all? Seems to be a pretty good trade for Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Raiders fan it hurts to see Mack make all those plays knowing that he could have still been our player. Having said that our 1st 4 games also showed that our roster sucks. I could see us being 2-2 or 3-1 with Mack, but even with Mack we are simply not a deep playoff contender. Hopefully 4 1st round picks in the next 2 years and an extra $10-15 mio we saved by not signing Mack will help us build a team that can go for a deep run.

I really do hope it works out for Oakland too. I remember how much it hurt watching Wilber Marshall go to the Redskins (fun fact the Bears got 2 first round picks for that) and watching him continue to dominate with the Redskins. If I'm Gruden though I'd be looking to move Amari Cooper next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he produces at the level he did the first three games, they will not. Mack doesn't really change that. He's a great player, no doubt. But overall the draft capitol and the financial commitment make it hard to decide for me who won this trade, still. I really didn't like this trade for the Bears or Raiders. Bears look like they won in 2018... and honestly, no one, not one, thought it was going to be otherwise. After all, the Raiders gained absolutely nothing right now, and the Bears gained a great defensive player. It will therefore be hard to revisit whether the trade was worth it for the Bears for another few seasons - until the impact of lesser draft capitol and cap space can be fully felt. Obviously if we're just talking 2018, the Bears won the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard it here first folks. The Bears can only be a contender if Mitchell Trubisky produces all time NFL record performances every single week.

The point is, the Mitch Trubisky previous to yesterday won't cut it. Also thanks for quoting a single line out of context and then proceed to incorrectly interpret it (My line is "if", you misrepresented it as "if and only if"). Even out of context, my line is absolutely true: The Bears would obviously be a contender if Trubisky produces all time NFL record performances every week. But that's not what I was getting at and you know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wont' know the long term implications until we have 3-5 years to see how the draft picks and cap space play out for us. Drafting a good DE prospect, linebacker, and signing a top tier safety with some of the 23.5 M in space we aren't using for Mack could help the defense more than just 1 elite player. Defense is 11 players. Chicago has a lot of good ones. We have a few, but a few doesn't make a defense great. 4 pass rushing threats is much better than 3 mediocre ones and 1 elite one. Mack wouldn't do what he's doing in Chicago in Oakland either. He's getting more 1v1 blocking there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
