If Cleveland is out with Covid, it's not even as good as Udoh. It's playing Wyatt Davis instead of Dakota freaking Dozier. There is no sane argument for Dakota Dozier over a third round pick. None.

Disagree. This gives me even more reason to root for the Bears. What a stupid approach.
-
He wasn't good, but I feel it bears pointing out that he was stuck in a place he wasn't developmentally ready for yet. So it may not be a fair evaluation.- 10 replies

The author's point to me seems exactly right. The team has some building blocks and reason for hope in the high minors along with an offense that could very easily be a winning-caliber group. Taking short, mid-tier shots at players has a threefold benefit: A) If they're successful and the team is winning it gives them depth and flexibility in their development of young players (plus...winning!) B ) If they are successful but the team is garbage you have attractive trade options. C) They're garbage and the team is garbage....worth a shot, short term deals come off the books quickly so you can try again. I've said all along I'm building for a 2023 success story, but doing that means I need to make moves now that help with that vision as well. I don't see anyone here saying sign 5 Randy Johnsons and have a sixth one in the bullpen just in case with an eleventy billion dollar payroll while we let the Pohlads eat Annie's Mac and Cheese and live out of boxes to feed our baseball habit. So maybe, just maybe, we could stick to what the OP actually said. (And yet, with this paragraph, I'm still in roughly 6th place for needless, off-track hyperbole for this thread alone. Sad Panda = Me)

10 spots in the draft are an enormous difference regardless of the rest of that tangent ridden first paragraph. If they were that worried they should have dressed Sloter. Putting Mond in for one series of three step drop patterns is just plain stupid.
-
Losing on Sunday is absolutely imperative.
-
Cousins gets a lot of vocal support from his teammates. For whatever that's worth.
-
It's way worse than that. Green bay frequently had 7 in the box and Kenny Clark was singlehandedly blowing everything up. At one point, Collinsworth even stopped to show that GB was inviting them to run and they still couldn't do it. I'm pretty sure they could've played 1 DL and 10 DBs and still shut down the run the way he was playing. Zimmer whining about not running enough was so inexplicable given what was happening on the field. So he wants to run us into a 3rd and 12 where we have to pass? The hell?
-
Because when you decide the game is over and not detrimental to him....you have no valid reasons to pull him. Pulling him just felt like old school bitterness and scapegoating.
-
Why the hell would you switch back to Mannion?
-
Shoemakery.
-
I will point out that yet again the GB offensive line is playing like studs and they are backups with no draft pedigree. Good line play depends on scheme and coaching not where you pick them. This coaching staff is garbage at development.
-
We just held on a running play and still lost 6 yards.
-
But Zimmer said tje running game was at fault!
-
Nameless grunt Witchers don't really matter much. Parts of the show were great, it has elements of being really good, but it just doesn't totally land for me.
-
I can't listen to Paul Allen for more than 10, 20 minutes at a time. And every time I try I end up saying "Ew" at least 3-4 times. Especially on Fridays. The guy is a creep. For some MST3K-like fun I tried his football and faith podcast once......good gravy. I couldn't even make it through it to make fun of it.
-
They play a fun, aggressive style. Joe Borrow has the "it" factor.
-
If we're gutting the whole presentation it should start with Paul Allen. KFAN has pretty god awful coverage all around and Allen is a terrible human being who isn't good at his job or remotely entertaining. I like Bercich. I definitely wouldn't fire him, in part, for being a homer and then keep Paul Allen. That makes zero sense to me.
-
Yeah, a lot of faceless (intended) nobodies were the only consequences. There was also some sort of lesson the Witchers learned but that didn't land either.
-
The shpw has mostly failed on the promise it has. Watchable but it feels lacking. Curious....without spoilers...what went sideways for you in the finale?
-
Pierce made a lot of money to basically never play.
-
Initially? Sure. Beauty of the NFL is you can turn around quickly with good decisions. But this team will need to lose initially to reset the team. To you @Vanimal46....I think you're right on Tomlinson, but the stupid Cook extension puts him in the same boat. I think the team can get a 2 for Cousins and I would take it. A 1st and a future 2 and 3 seem right for Hunter. Smith could yield a 2. The problem? This draft feels like garbage.
-
Every player they can cut they should. Blow the thing up. Darrisaw, Cleveland, and Oniell are players. So are JJ and Irv Smith. Replace the rest. Let Bynum play safety. Let Surratt play. Keep Wonnum and Hunter. Replace the rest.
-
This entire situation highlights one of my biggest complaints with Zimmer: young players getting no opportunity to make an impact. They aren't even trusted in practice much less games. Meanwhile we see other coaches around the leave like in Dallas and even Green Bay where young players often get an opportunity. The NFL is a young man's game yet we seem to waste two years of that year in and year out.
-
I want to move on from Zimmer but I still hold him in high regard. In the end, the guys he chose to go all-in with didn't have the same devotion.
