Athletic Offseason

[jumbo]

Not sure if anyone here subscribes to the Athletic, but I did a couple months back and their content is great.  They don't hit you with low quality volume, but what they print is done well.  I certainly prefer a couple great articles to a hundred click bait temptations with no substance.  

They did an offseason plan for the Bears and I wanted to share it with you all.  I am listing only a small amount of info, to get the rest subscribe on your own.

I was impressed.  I am not a paid advertiser by any means, but I was surprised how many predictions came true.

The Athletic is great. Highly recommend it. I got in on it at the very beginning, so i only pay about $30/year for it every year

The Athletic isn't something I'd pay for, but Dan Durkin is really good at what he does. Probably the best in town.

My favorite Durkin moment is still when he was accurately predicting Marc Trestman's plays out loud in the press booth during the last game of the 2014 season based solely on personnel/formation/aligntment, proving how predictable that offense was.
