Fields had a lot of difficult highlight throws last year. https://twitter.com/79illwill/status/1613216756025425920?s=20 You know what he had in most of those clips?

CBears019 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 - Exciting young QB - First overall pick - Most cap space/likely to have lots of FA additions - New team President incoming - Talk of new stadium Bears have a lot of intrigue. This might be our year. Can’t imagine the NFL wants any cameras near the Commanders until Snyder is gone for good. Jets? Wilson fighting for his job back may be interesting….maybe. Sauce Gardner may make for good TV. Other than that idk. Saints? Meh. I think the Bears get selected for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there’s too much going for the bears that will make them good for tv. It’s a double edge sword for me - i like getting the behind-the-scenes look at the team and getting to know what the players are like off the field a bit. But i also wonder how much a distraction that is to a very young team trying to get on the right track. I haven’t looked into it, but I’m curious the breakdown of team success when featured in Hard Knocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t looked into it, but I’m curious the breakdown of team success when featured in Hard Knocks. As my daughter likes to say, easy peazy llama squeezy: 2022 cards: kyler died, Kliff fired 2022 lions: started horribly, ended respectably 2021 colts: team had 7 pro bowlers, 5 all pros but ended boring 9-8 no playoffs 2021 cowboys: 12-5, first round exit 2020 rams: 10-6, won in wild csrd, lost divisional 2020 chargers: 7-9, sucked like always. Probably compelling on the show since no one would’ve been hurt yet in typical chargers fashion 2019 raiders: went 7-9, then abandoned their town 2018 browns: 7-8-1, seeing a 7 win trend idk if I’m loving 2017 Bucs: 5-11, but then again to qualify for hard knocks you have to have a 2 year playoff drought, right? 2016 Rams: 4-12, man they were blessed with some high draft picks before their sb run 2015 Texans: 9-7 2014 falcons: 6-10 2013 bengals: 11-5 back when Marvin Lewis was still alive 2012 dolphins: 7-9 2010 jets: 11-5, such a promising team, made it all the way to afc championship and then the next year cursed the roster for 20 years with the butt fumble 2009 bengals: 10-6, wildcard exit. Shortly before Carson Palmer exit 2008 Cowboys 9-7 2007 chiefs: 4-12 2002 cowboys: 5-11 2001 ravens: 10-6, won wildcard, lost div. 6 teams on the list have been to the super bowl, 4 have one it since.

beardown3231 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I'm not sure if the Bears have to be on HK if they're asked. Biggs wrote something weeks ago that George would never approve it. I'm not sure how that process goes but he made it sound like George would have to give the final approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Virginia’s apparently declining health helps get them a courtesy pass. The McCaskeys are super private. They seemingly wouldn’t want any of that being chronicled and shared with the public, especially if it takes a turn for the worse over the summer.

Just because someone has a platform doesn’t mean they have anything to say that’s worth listening to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
