He also doesn’t really seem to run anymore when he isn’t inactive. Could be that he was trying to protect his ability to secure the bag, which is certainly understandable.
You left off Geno in the T5.

It’s a zero sum game for players. How the rand file file doesn’t further flatten the distribution to get the “healthy middle class” idk. You think the bottom 2/3 would have the voting power.
The bottom 2/3 are just temporarily embarrassed top 1/3.

Yes.
At first glance it actually seems like a reasonably good deal for both sides

In a good qb class I think they would need to give up another 1st and 2nd. This class isn’t all that hyped so I think the Bears did really well.
I think they suffer more from the fact that there are 3 top QBs, without one that really stands out from the rest - I don’t get the sense though that it’s not hyped. You also have the Cardinals at 3 looking to trade down, so that makes it hard for the Bears to get the normal premium for a number one.
I do wonder now if the Cardinals can get a nice bounty for their pick, since you may have a desperate team now looking to jump Indy at 4. Possible they could get almost as much as the Bears got for 1.
Well it’s certainly better than last years QB class but yeah, and the haul somewhat depends on what you think of DJ Moore. It seems to be the worst receiver class in a while, so they get an established pro at a spot of great need instead of another pick in a couple years that may or may not pan out and can use their other picks to retool the other holes on the roster

Seems like a great deal to me. They decided to go all in on Fields and only move down 8 spots, add a solid weapon for him and pick up an additional 1st and two 2nds? Lol Lovie gritting out that win.
I’m just here to mention that it’d be A++ if Lovie Smith is giving out the bears first pick (whatever that ends up being).
as for the trade, well if you’re not grabbing a QB you gotta pull the trigger so it’s a fine haul, an actual starting NFL WR on the bears plus some picks. Obviously since it’s the bears, car will hit a homerun with the pick and fields won’t improve as a passer but oh well.
You’d think Car has the guy in mind already but I think one team did that not long ago and actually still didn’t know they just knew they wanted one of them. Still assuming with coach/owner split reports they actually are favoring one, just gotta wait 48 days to make sure he doesn’t do something so f’ing stupid to get him out of that.
Yah what you all said but wow that crazy Texans quasi hail mary had to gift the Bears like, an absolute super duper haul of assets.
Lamar is a used exotic sports car. They look a lot better on the showroom floor than the auction block. He also kind of quiet quit the team, right?
4D chess move resetting the market on middling QBs to force your competitiors to re-reset and blow their caps.
Glance again my friend! Panthers GM should be fired now instead of three years from now when this awful deal reveals itself 
This is gonna be like the Washington thing for RG3
Lol people were just talking in this thread about how teams who don’t have a Mahomes or Burrow should throw in the towel. Carolina is making a move to get what they hope is a great QB. Maybe it doesn’t work out but even then the price may not be crippling, it hasn’t been for the 49ers.
Their competition in the division is signing Carr or going with Desmond Ridder. Do you think those are better strategies?

National pundits: Collusion! Lamar deserves better! Pay that man!
Same national pundits: Giants were smart for tagging Saquon. You should never pay running backs. Keep them on one year deals. Use them up and throw them out. Eat shit Saquon!

I mean it seems like they could have gotten Rodgers or Jackson for no more than that if not less 
Yeah, Mahomes and Burrow are generational talents and at best there’s like 3 or 4 guys at the level in the league at once. Having one is a cheat code and they win a disproportionate amount of super bowls, but lol at all the fans that want teams to tank for #1 every year until there is one. Even most #1 overall QBs don’t reach their level, but can take the right team pretty far (Goff, Stafford, Cam, etc.). That’s why I think it’s important that the tier 2 QBs (actually I’d argue that only Mahomes is tier #1, Allen/Burrow and maybe a couple others are tier 2), don’t get the same level of contracts as the top few guys. You can absolutely win a super bowl with them, but you need an extra boost somewhere else on the roster and it’s a lot harder to do that when you’re paying 50 million to a QB a notch below what your competition is paying 50 million for.
