Yeah Eartz gave him a forearm to the face and ran the F over him. Granted the way they have been reviewing those they probably would have called it a clean play.
Bridgewater will require multiple drafts picks. Dalton will probably be released and would be a great option as a bridge.
Teddy's on a 1 year deal with NO. He could be signed as a UFA but you'll be spending $20-$30 million for the contract. Dalton could be seen as damaged goods and "Show me" deal. Pace has to do something with both Mitch and Nagy. I wouldn't be surprised if Nagy gives up playcalling for the Bears after the struggles lately this year.
I stand corrected. I thought the Saints signed him for 3. I'm not too concerned with the contract. They would've had to have paid Mitch after next year anyway. Dalton will command a significant salary, as well imo.
They need to spend some money to upgrade the o-line and TE position. You also need to pay Danny T, iirc, or move on. Dalton will get paid $18-$25mm, if I had to guess. It will depend on the length of the contract, I supposed. Teddy will be $25-$30mm for sure. Pace may get less static from fans by paying Teddy - who fans saw up close in the NO beat down - than Dalton because his image as a loser from Cincy. I think if you have *any* confidence in Mitch then you go for Dalton because he can be challenged possibly by him.
No one has any confidence in Mitch. He's finished. They will need to upgrade at TE and OL for sure.
folks were reasonably confident going into this season though. personally, i think he's terrible but maybe Nagy/Pace give him the benefit of the doubt in the offseason. he gets "challenged" rather than throw in the towel immediately. they have an open competition at QB maybe with a vet. Teddy's not going to sign a short contract or anything short of being announced the starter. Dalton might do a 3-year deal with some incentives. it's going to be interesting to see how they play this.
They aren't good at signing QB's either.
Teddy's pretty damn good even if he's not truly elite. he offers a lot that a coach can like: he's motivated, coming from a complex offense, mobile, and not prone to mistakes. Teddy looked good when he played against them in week 6. i don't think you're going to find a rookie QB that can start in round 2 because how front-loaded the QBs will be in this new draft. so what vet QB worth a damn signs a 1-year? there are very few options for the Bears.
this is why Mitch is such a disaster. you can't keep missing on drafting Qbs because you're wasting prime years of EVERYONE else on your team. your window - with this defense and skill position offensive players - is more or less now. if you can find a veteran QB and they're half-way decent then you're actually competing for a championship.
I don't have anything to back it up, but my gut tells me Teddy regresses after he gets his payday.
Indy - Brissett 100%
Then he shouldn't be on the roster.
Dan Snyder picked him. Coach didn't want him. Coach is gone but you can't run with Haskins with that obvious reach.
Not sure what you mean?
Which is why Nagy might not be calling plays much longer. There is no question about Teddy's ability to understand, process a complex playbook because he's coming from the Payton experience. There aren't a lot of options for the Bears beyond Dalton or Teddy in FA. No rookies will do any better in the later rounds.
I guess we disagree on whether or not Bridgewater is a long term answer that includes multiple trips deep into the playoffs. That will also come at a high cost that is more difficult to overcome if he fails. Whereas a rookie QB doesn't hamstring the rest of your roster from a salary standpoint.
If your HC has no confidence in your starting QB, was willing to run with Case Keenum, and risked his job to prevent him from starting then what confidence can an fan/player/coach have in Haskins?
The team is still trying to win. If Haskin can show improvement and the team wins, then it will erase that lack of confidence. Fans, players and coaches don't care how the player gets there. They just want to win.
1 yard line play call is handoff to Cohen like he's a power RB. NFL coaches are stupid.
