I suppose it makes the most sense...Foles has been a backup before, as where Dalton and Cam really haven't... This way the Bears can put on a dog and pony show saying it's "competition" for Mitch's job, while still letting him think they have some confidence in him... CYA at its finest... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't mind the Foles move one bit. He's far more proven. Worked with Nagy before and knows the system today better than Mitch does after 2 years. Contract is restructured so the only guarantees the Bears are on the hook for is $20M or so.....plus he's 14-3 when his defense holds opponents to 18 points or less. I'll take this move all day long and the sooner we can move on from Mitch the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Sounded like the Colts and Jags discussed a trade for Foles before the Colts signed Rivers. I think they said the colts were offering a 5th rounder so they got a better offer from the bears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Jacksonville knew they had a sucker in Pace who has obviously given away picks before and played their cards right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There once was a man named Pace Who was trying to save some of his face By thinking that Foles Could win Super Bowls Instead of Mitch taking up space... Ah, it's 6:10...that's all I got...

I was actually hoping the Bears would take a look at him. Instead we sign Graham, the dude from Cleveland to join the other 7 (9 total) Tight Ends the Bears have under contract right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the past few years it tells me this. Elite RB's who are drafted should start holding out by year 3 on rookie deal if they are hitting big numbers. These teams discard rb's so quickly once they hit 27 or 28 or they only get 1 shot at the big, big money. Shoot Jordan Howard just barely got 2 years and $10M and he's only been in the league for 4 seasons. Free agency treats him like he's washed up. Good move by Gurley and Atlanta.

Gordon was drafted high and did well in SD/LA...but was replaced towards the end of this year by Ekeler. On the other hand the Broncos drafted Freeman but he was outperformed by undrafted Lindsay....yet Denver backed up the truck for 1 year to get Gordon?? Something about this whole move makes zero sense to me....and I don't think either GM (including Elway) knows what the heck they are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Gordon. Always have....but the way these RB's get shuffled or I guess how quickly they get shuffled is unreal. Makes sense to use a cost effective strategy like the Colts or other teams...and keep drafting one in the 3rd or 4th round each year to keep the stable full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! I know most Colts fans wanted and deserved a couple more titles along the way but when I watch some of these teams try to figure out how to properly manage their salary cap and still win??? Polian was a damn genius keeping that many players happy for that long while still winning as much as anyone not named the Patriots or maybe Steelers during their prime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
