St Vince Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Allen is a solid pickup for the Bears, but he'll be turn 32 this season. Instead of signing a young guy with upside like Hollywood Brown, they keep signing these old stopgap players at the end of their prime. Just a waste of draft capital and resources if you ask me.

Rainmaker90 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Minnesota traded for another 1st rounder. please move up for JJ. That would be so perfect. A guy with no really elite tools who they didn’t trust to throw the ball in college in the top 10 is laughable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isherwood Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Conventional wisdom is that QB is going 1-2-3 (Williams, Maye, Daniels) So unless Minny is going up to 3 somehow, I have no idea what they’re doing. Are they really about to go up to the top 5 for McCarthy? WOOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isherwood Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Horrifying outcome I thought of would be the Harbaugh Chargers trading Justin Herbert for those 1sts so he can take McCarthy. I don’t think it’s likely, but just a funny thought I had, what with the Chargers appearing to sell all of Herbert’s toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading the 29 year old, seldom injured Davante Adams coming off two 1st team all-pro seasons is also much different than trading the 31 yer old, often injured with zero all-pro seasons Keenan Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With two first round picks in their arsenal, I guess they could get crafty and make a sizable move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they also had $60 million in cap to spend this year, so you could reason they can afford these dark side of their prime players but they also signed their star CB Jaylon and signed DAndre Seift and didn’t front load the contracts… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy with no really elite tools who they didn’t trust to throw the ball in college in the top 10 is laughable This is incredibly uninformed opinion. Heard an interview on a podcast that went over the statistical anomalies for McCarthy. First- they were undefeated National Champs. They weren't afraid of anything. Second- he had a completion percentage above 70 when he had to leave the pocket. Third- He only played in the 4th quarter in less than half the games. I didn't fact check, but that seems like he's a winner, accurate when things go bad AND unselfish. I'm no fan of Michigan, but I'd rather see the Vikes get Maye than McCarthy.

squire12 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 interesting to consider if NE would want more than pick 11 and 23 from MIN to trade out of the 3rd pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, The ‘winner trait’ ! Just because his team is great, the QB must be great too.. JJ McCarthy could’ve been substituted for a number of college QBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to share an opinion with a little statistical reference. He's more talented than given credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
