DBB is putting it out there…we shall see. https://x.com/dabearsblog/status/1708462221624226086?s=46&t=zLmA-f2jn1RszLw4i4Ut_A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting attitude benched in a contract year. That is rare. He only had 4 more months to serve. People would do 4 months in prison for enough money. People go on Alone and subsist on a diet of one fried mouse a week, while freezing, for just a chance at 500k before taxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man this season is the distillation of every Bearsy moment for the last couple decades. Remember Jimmy Clausen getting started over Cutler? Remeber Nagy benching and then having to un-bench Mitch? All Fields needs is a sweater with lights on and Santos to get a triple doink and our Bears Bingo cards are going to fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree he isn't being used properly (that stems from Fields not being used properly) he also hasn't put in the effort he should have. This might be the sole compliment I give Flubby but good on him for sending a message. I wasnt sure he had the balls to actually do it.

He is only getting benched because he said something out of line. Yes he deserved to be benched because of play but so do a lot of other players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a dumb comment wouldn't have done anything but the top brass make him give a bs statement about it being a misunderstanding if he had been productive. But he has already been called out for his garbage effort. I'm not giving Flubby a ton of credit, but he did the right thing here. Now to speculate if he did it on his own accord or if Poles made him because Poles is mad about getting zero return on that 2nd rounder.

I'm not giving Influx any credit, like I said he should have been benched earlier along with other players. All the staffs is showing is that if you keep quite an tow the line you'll keep playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for Everlose we are up to following positives from me: -First couple weeks they looked disciplined last year -Seemed to be a very clear communicator in an interview when talking about his golf game -Sending a message to Claypool after several weeks of bad effort/technique My "negatives" list is contained in a massive pdf that will load in 2-3wks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardown3231 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Recap of the Claypool trade. -Pass on Pickens for character concerns in the 2nd and leave a bunch of practice squad guys as full time WR. -Have a (predictable) crisis at WR in a critical development year for JF. -Trade a 2nd for the guy Pickens made irrelevant in PIT who also has character concerns. -He is also irrelevant here and the 2nd turns into a first. -“Wait until next year” -French modeling -Bad player on and off the field -Scratched by week 4 If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

He only ran for 4.5 ypc last year so I can see why he can't crack the lineup on a downright dog**** offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
