Not sure, but I think it eliminates mental health stuff because you can't know for a fact he will get better. It also eliminates curfew/missed meetings, because you don't get better from that. Buy a damn watch. A legal issue would be public by now, and a death in the family would've been common knowledge by now (see Mike Davis' situation). That all leads me to believe it's drugs or alcohol. Obviously I have no way of knowing but it's what I would guess if I had to.

That's a good point, but maybe 1) the team is involved already and 2) he *thinks* there's a problem and wants to get help so they're going to try it in-house before the league comes down on him.

We just don't know. But the catagories of things it could be are definitely narrowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is responding to somebody else bringing up mental health. But I was leaning that way myself. Have to wonder if the kid has MDD. When an episode happens it's scary and really hard to deal with. If it is mental health, it's really none of our business, and I applaud Nagy, and the Bears for a) keeping it in house, and b) giving the kid whatever he needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way she ended that tweet, with the same verbage Nagy keeps using, makes me believe otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafreak Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) The thing is, if it's mental health or drugs/alcohol and he is reaching out, this city, this team, us fans, would support him to all ends. In this situation the truth sets you free and the support is undeniable. Edited October 2, 2019 by dafreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Everything else aside, That Locker Room is locked down. Gotta feel good for Smith to know his team and organization have his back. If it is his mental health, it is probably best to keep it locked up. They could be at a point where they aren’t sure exactly what’s going on, he might not either.

dll2000 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Perhaps it would be best if Bears made it a strategy to trade all their first round picks for high character star players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith has played pretty well to start the season. I am about 99% confident that this has nothing to do with performance and is an actual personal issue. The reports were that Roquan was displaying erratic behavior leading up to last week's game. I'm thinking this is a mental health thing. You very well could be right. But as far as PFF goes...they apply their metrics the same across the board. Pretty clearly they have Smith as your third best ILB...and the margin isn't close. Odds are the Bears staff saw some of the same things. Look, we all know that Roquan is physically a better player. There's a lot more upside there. But he just wasn't getting the job done, or at least he wasn't doing his job as well as others were. People are talking about mental health, car wreck...etc. When the answer is probably something simple. But, we shall see. Either way, I hope the man is okay. And if he isn't, I hope he gets some help. He's too young and way too talented to let something derail his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
