Crazy how it's east of Virginia yet it's a tropical place It's our second time there, last time was nine years ago but it's has built up a decent amount. And yes very crazy that it's just straight east yet very tropical and has so much history that no one really knows about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn performed to his contract last year. They aren't looking to trade an aging vet for an aging vet like for like anyway. Bears are looking for a draft pick in first 3 rounds. If they had one in hand Quinn would be gone already. None of contenders have a need at the moment though at that price. May change with a camp injury which is what Poles is hoping. He had a hip injury that knocked him out for most of 2020, those are a part of the game, but he still performed to his career averages in terms of catches/yards - he even had a better catch % that year. 2021 wasn't good, correct. but it wasn't good for Arob either, but that doesn't mean he wasnt a good player. JF1 needs guys that can go up and get it, less of a technical route runner. KG is 28 years old, that's hardly "aging vet" - especially compared to Quinn, who is 32 yo. I'm sure the bears would love to have a high draft pick, but i think if someone were offering a high draft pick for a 32-year old DE that historically has a bad season after good seasons, has 3 years almost $40M left on a contract, they would have taken it. It's not like we don't have the cap space to absorb KG either - the contracts are essentially a wash, and if he were a FA and we signed him this offseason for 3/40 - nobody would be upset with that, especially since we have the cap space What's gonna help JF develop, a DE or a WR? Everyone complains that we didn't help our young QB enough, and here's a potential option that would realistically help both teams. We'll see what happens, but i dont think we get anything higher than a 3rd for quinn, and even then i think we would have to throw in another pick, like a 5th or 6th as well.

I don't want anyone that has been consistently injured or has underperformed for consecutive years. I need to see the arrow pointing up. If it weren't a heavy investment then I would look into him, but no high draft picks or significant salary for a player like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 I am old enough to have watched Payton play in real time. Not so old I could watch him at his best in 70s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTD Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Was lucky enough to watch Sweetness when Abe Gibron was telling Bob Avilini to give the ball to Walter and get out of the way. He is the best all around RB I have ever seen play. Barry Sanders a close second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 So I went on twitter just to gather bears camp tweets to share. I only followed bears accounts. I have no posts. So it should be clear to any algorithm I am there for one thing. They still, STILL pepper my feed with extreme political takes I have zero interest in. Ridiculous. I hate twitter. I wish beat people would use something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could search and find someone that already created a "bears beat writer" list you could follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I don't have the slightest clue behind the what and why of anything I'm seeing here, but I feel like this is how Putin and Zelensky should've settled their differences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of missed layups. Thought I was watching WNBA but was entertained, so clearly something was off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
