    Humphries tore his ACL

    For the longest time here, my title was "Optimist," so you're not wrong. I really hated the Kingsbury hire, and thought taking Kyler was a very dicey choice - made mainly because of KK's obsession with him. That era really challenged my younger "we always have a chance" mentality. The days...

    Humphries tore his ACL

    The optimism of enduring a bad season for a better future has been squeezed out of me. I think I was braced to have a **** season with the hope that we might hit the grand cosmic restart button on the franchise. Around draft time last year, I had visions of Caleb Williams/Drake Maye throwing to...

    Humphries tore his ACL

    Trust me, I'm all for a strong OL, but the rest of this roster is just in such an abysmal state. You generally don't spend #6 picks on RTs, and I doubt anyone can find evidence that teams are out there rebuilding by starting at right tackle. I'd rather move PJJ to LT and find a guy in FA or the...

    Humphries tore his ACL

    First off, sucks for DJ. I like him, and wish him well. This is a bad time for it to happen to him. It's been stated by others already, but I'll be pretty sick to my stomach if we spent the #6 overall on an OT and the result of it is that within one year we feel he's not good enough to play LT...

    Bears Current Posture

    That's why I put in two options. It's not at all a weird thought to see the Bears move back one or two spots and still get him. I don't know if conceptually What I don't see the Bears doing is moving behind us to another team. So the hope (for me at least, who wants MHJ desperately), is that...

    Bears Current Posture

    Not arguing with that. He's more like Kordell Stewart, haha.

    Bears Current Posture

    Calling him a wreck is a little overzealous, but I don't really know that he's a consistently winning QB you can rely on... and maybe that's just the environment of Chicago. Maybe he'd succeed in a dome or fair weather environment more often? I'm not convinced he's anywhere near a franchise guy...

    Bears Current Posture

    I'm wholeheartedly worried that we end up in one of two godawful positions: 1. Chicago takes MHJ, Williams and Maye go, we can't legitimately go for drafting Daniels (or whoever ends up at QB3) over Kyler, and so just... make some blah trade back, or take an OT and functionally run the same...

    Losing the lower pick surely sucks.

    I'm sorry, this was a trash win, and a punch in the gut. I understand the positivity, that's the point of being a fan. But I haven't even been all that interested in participating on the board because this season has been so miserably depressing. The only silver lining was getting a worthwhile...

    Win. We ain’t getting MHJ.

    I'm not necessarily arguing for THIS year, I mean any given year. The Jets and Chargers were just two examples of teams that have more ideal setups for a young WR, and next year it'll be someone else. Unfortunately the Cardinals are proving themselves to be a bad organization that doesn't have...

    Win. We ain’t getting MHJ.

    Well, two things: eventually you run out of eligibility so you have no choice... and right now he has eligibility. Second, there are teams at the bottom of the draft sometimes that just had poor luck, or a team can move up. Like, even in this year's top 10 as the standings go today, you can't...

    Win. We ain’t getting MHJ.

    I'm hoping MHJ will come out, but kinda like when Matt Leinart did it, I do understand. I wouldn't want to miss my college years when I was finally old enough to drink so I could go start a demanding career right off the bat. Not when I'm worshipped on campus and winning games constantly, as...

    If you think we should move on from Kyler then answer this...

    Moving up has pretty much been proven to be a disaster lately. The "get your guy no matter what" thing is atrocious. Like, the Panthers are in absolute shambles now, with no coach, and no picks. Young, Lance, Fields, Darnold, Rosen, Trubisky, (kinda) Watson, Goff, Wentz, RG3, Gabbert... The...

    If you think we should move on from Kyler then answer this...

    Yeah, I don't see the point in doing that. They already have the equivalent of Kyler in Fields, but cheaper.

    If you think we should move on from Kyler then answer this...

    I was reading this thread and about to chime in with the concept that we maybe use the Texans pick to grab a QB, or our 2nd round pick, just as insurance or to challenge Kyler... but I see it's already been noted. I'm loaded with indecision about going for a QB with #1/2/whatever we get...

    Dobbs to the Vikings

    Best of luck to the guy, I appreciate his limited time here. I feel a little bad for him that he's going from enjoying a nice warm winter in Phoenix to winter in Minneapolis, lol.

    10 thoughts - Murray's comeback

    I agree with starting him after the Browns, but I can't share your optimism about this season or bringing him back. Unfortunately I see a very real situation where he plays just well enough to trash our draft position but not well enough to be confident with him as our future starter.

    The Arizona Cardinals should not break the bank for Marquise Brown

    I don't have a problem with signing him for a reasonable cost, but I feel like someone will break the bank to some degree for him, the way WR contracts have trended recently.

    Bengals at Cardinals gameday thread 10-8-23

    I'm actually having a 95th percentile recovery according to my PT, I'm already up and walking unassisted 100% of the time less than 3 weeks since surgery, but the parents are driving me absolutely nuts. They're constantly fighting. I can't wait to get out of here, but that's not really supposed...

    Bengals at Cardinals gameday thread 10-8-23

    I'm having such a joyless season because I want us to tank. I know I should be excited when we're playing well. (I'm also just a joyless person since I'm stuck in my parents' house recovering from surgery, lol.)

    OT: Made it out of hip replacement

    With all of the chest thumping people do about the US healthcare system and "having to wait" in the UK, it's insane that it's been since March and I'm just now out of surgery in September. At least we have AC over here, lol. Your heatwave last year was killing me. But... my curtains don't work...
