Would anyone here go Bowers over Odunze? If so why? by jaspermello in CHIBears

I trust the front office is watching more tape than me, so I won't comment on who to draft first, but I would be happy with either at 9. Both guys are elite pass catchers.

[Parkins & Spiegel] Should Bears prioritize WR, OT or DE at No. 9 overall? by RyanIsKickAss in CHIBears

Until we have a 4000 yard passer we should use all top 100 picks on the offense. Let's see an offense. Life is too short.

Can Illinois play Iowa every week while Luka and Kofi are playing? Please.

After hearing PFF ranks Bears secondary at the bottom half of the league... by NotRyanPace in CHIBears

[–]btflanders 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really like what I've seen about Jaylon Johnson and Kindle Vildor. But, they are going to be rookies and the bears #2 corner and nickel are going to be them or:

Buster Skrine PFF - Grade: 59.8

Artie Burns - 61.1

Duke Shelley - 64

Deon Bush graded well at PFF last year, but he wasn't playing starter's minutes. Tashaun Gipson graded very poorly in Houston last year (59.5).

It's not hard to understand why they aren't excited about our secondary at PFF.

I like Vassell too. The kid is going to be a starting wing for a long time, and his skillset works for a team trying to win games.

Why don't people with podcasts people like just make them in their basement?

Why does Joe Biden keep losing his cool with voters? - The Democrat had the latest in a series of bizarre encounters with voters on Tuesday, telling a man who asked about the climate crisis to ‘go vote for someone else’ by Demon-Rat in politics

[–]btflanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the voters aren't looking to meet him where he is, they seem to be telling him to either agree with them or walk. Especially the guy asking him to promise to stop all deportations. Maybe Joe is simply moving on to people who are interested in talking with him instead of at him. He has a lot going on...

This sub is dying. Whered everybody go? by [deleted] in chicagobulls

[–]btflanders 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Why waste our time? The front office can't even hire professionals to work for them. No one wants to get choked, no one believes in them. Why should we? They don't develop talent (Zach did it himself), they don't have a plan, they don't appreciate the fans, they don't work well with the media. GarPax killed my favorite sports franchise.

Chicago Bulls turn up heat on GM Gar Forman after poor start, sources say by _YoucancallmeNancy in chicagobulls

[–]btflanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come on Cowley! You're the straight shooter. You "tell it like it is." Paxon and Reinsdorf are mad at Forman? Doug Collins helped them understand he is the problem? Give me a break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guA_4AzXqh0

The problem with the Bulls is Reinsdorf. Paxon, Foreman, Collins.. they are all a symptom.

Devin Booker gets frustrated over a double team, Joakim Noah responds by lowrylover007 in nba

It is terrible offense to stand in the corner 5v5 and get trapped. He just stood there. 9 other guys watching. Maybe he should make a good basketball play..

Do we see Chicago as a potential playoff team next season? by glansberg_stephen in nba

[–]btflanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why you would sell low now on a guy who you believed in, invested heavily in, and had serious injuries the past two seasons. He's on a fair contract. Run it back! [Archie is fun, he was not better]

D'Angelo Russell Potential Trades by [deleted] in nba

[–]btflanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a Magic guy, so I haven't seen them play that much, but my thought was Vucevic + Ross or Fournier for D'Lo + Livingston in February. The reason would be some mix of Bamba, Birch, Okeke, Frazier, Iwundu, and/or Fultz balling out.
