She probably should.

That's not as hard as you think... Rams: Walker averaged over 5 ypc, McCaffrey ran for 116 (on 20 carries), and I don't think Mixon is really all that special. He's "fine", but that's all he is, on a great offense... which is struggling because Burrow isn't healthy. Titans: Played the Saints (w/Jamaal Williams - meh), the Chargers (w/o Ekeler), and the Browns (w/o Chubb) Jags: Played Zach Moss - meh, Kansas City - who doesn't run the ball, and Houston - who can't run the ball. Browns: Played the Bengals (see Rams), Steelers (see Houston), and Titans (Derrick Henry is rushing for 3.2 ypc this year, on 51 rush attempts), meaning, everyone is stopping them from running. Saints: Player the Titans (see above), Panthers (Miles Sanders? My local high school team can slow him down), and Green Bay (w/o Jones). Yeah, they have AJ Dillon, who this year in 4 games, is averaging 2.7 ypc on 44 rush attempts. He's not running on anyone.

I'm still holding out hope that they trade for Baker Mayfield.

Not Miss Colorado, but "Miss" Netherlands won back in July. LOL https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/trans-model-actress-crowned-miss-netherlands-will-compete-miss-univers-rcna93554

#BelieveAllWomen you misogynist.

Ok.

I'm actually happy about that. I thought he was a great president... even though he was an azzhat. His policies were trending this country in a phenomenal direction until Faucci and his commie friends over in China focked everything up. It's a shame that Biden and Co., made it worse.

Yeah, outside of going back to the 90's era and a mythically healthy/1-sport Bo, I don't see any rational argument to choose him over Deion.

Until I see the results in November, I will never believe that black folks are seeing through the BS.

Yes, you are naïve. Maybe if you're party wasn't so focused on power and making everyone who disagrees with them, out to be some evil tyrant, things would be different. You and people like you, are the problem. You created the situation. You should be sad, but you won't change, so Trump it is. Then DeSantis, and hopefully someone even worse after him until people like you realize that your social ideology is the problem.

Agreed. Which is why people need to stop focusing in on it as trigger topic. Yes, those things need to be covered, but ragging on them in the media only makes it worse because the more that the media talks about it, the social media picks up on it. It's simple, the news should cover the shooting that day, and move on. The politicians need to stop making it a talking point to limit guns. The more exposure these things get, the more likely another one happens.

Yes. Because everyone knows that 100% of Washington DC is made up of scumbags who don't really care. I'm voting for the guy that pisses people like you off, the most.

You know what will completely stop mass shootings? Nothing. At all. Because no one is for removing guns completely. You know what will almost completely stop mass shootings? Eliminating social media.

So you're talking about someone like McCaffrey or Henry? How'd that work out for Carolina and Tennessee?

Am I getting degenerative hip Bo or perfectly healthy Bo? Is Bo only playing football? I'm guessing 2-sport / hip condition Bo, since that's what he was. In that case, it's easy, I'm taking Sanders and not even close... especially in today's NFL. If you're talking about which I'd rather have had in their day, yeah, still Sanders. Bo was only there 10 games a year. Fantasy world where I can have a perfectly healthy 1-sport Bo? Back in the day, Bo. Today? Still Sanders.

LOL, I was looking for this. When reading King Troll's posts in the racism thread, I think he literally covered every aspect in one particular post.

I was simply addressing his point about Trump having business dealings overseas, nothing more. To note, I think Joe is as corrupt as it gets but this specific incident, I do agree with you.

I expect an international business man to have business dealings with foreign countries. I don't expect a career politician who never had any business ventures, to have business dealings with foreign countries.

There's nothing wrong with Smith, they're fine. Not sure whi you're hearing that from, but I'm guessing they're free weight lifters who just don't like machines.

Racist much?

The play calling this year is substantially different than last year. I saw it in the Tampa game. Fields had ZERO designed runs that game. Every run he had (all 4 of them - that's not boxing him in?), was him escaping the pocket from the rush. Baker, Geno, and Smith showed WHAT abilities to throw the ball downfield? Baker still is what he was in Cleveland... he has the ability to avoid the rush and move the ball - a BIT - but he doesn't have many sustainable drives. He turns TD's into FG's with poor decision making. He doesn't really see the field well, and leaves a lot of plays unfulfilled. Alex Smith in his first 3 seasons had 19 TD's and 31 Int's with an AYA of 5.8. Where was his ability to throw downfield? Geno was no different. When you say they "...had shown abilities to throw the ball downfield", did you mean to the other team? If that's the case, yeah, I agree. You may be right about that with Fields, I don't watch enough of their games, but I can tell you that in the Tampa game (where I watched the whole thing), there was NO soft coverage that whole game. Tampa blitzed quite a bit and they pressured him on a third of Fields' drop backs. They were in his face all game. Tampa runs a 3-4 Cover 2 system. There's no "soft coverage", it's a zone coverage designed to drop 6 back against 3 to 4 route runners while generating pass rush from their 3 down linemen and 2 edge rushers. On top of that, the Bears were NEVER out of that game. They were winning 7-3 after the first, down 3 at the half and down 10 going into the 4th. They got the ball with 2 and a half minutes left in the game, down by 3. Why is that important? They handed the ball off that game 12 times. Their 2 RB's totaled 11 carries for 67 yards. If you take away the one big run (29 yards), that's still 10 carries for 38 yards. That's not bad. It's not great, but it's not a reason you throw the ball 29 times in comparison in a game that you were in, the whole time.

Stroud played in 25 games at OSU where he had 830 pass attempts for 8123 yards. He ran the ball 80 times for 136 yards. Fields, in comparison, played in 22 games at OSU where he had 579 pass attempts for 5373 yards. He ran the ball 218 times for 867 yards. Their history backs that up as well. In high school, Stroud had over 700 pass attempts, while Fields only had 406 (Stroud had 402 in his senior year). Rushing is no different as Stroud only had 93 carries for 264 yards where as Fields had 300 carries for almost 2096 yards. (stats from Jr & Sr seasons only). I'd also contend that your comparison is proof of my point. Two kids, same college, same situation in the pros... yet, they're two entirely different style of QB. One is struggling, and the other is starting off well... though, I mean, it's only 3 games. I'd also contend that it's even MORE supportive of my point because the Bears OC came from Green Bay who had a polished pocket passer to work with, and now he's working with a Lamar Jackson-type QB. In Houston, you have a guy who worked with Garoppolo (a budding pocket passer), who's working with a budding pocket passer. So, when you say Stroud can already pass, I'd say... yeah, he always has. That can't be said about Fields. He needed different coaching. He got that in college, he's NOT getting that in the pros. I don't discount anything you're saying, but I will add, when you look at Alex Smith who had multiple coaches and systems in SF early in his career, he was considered a bust but then goes to KC and he's all of a sudden a Pro Bowler and leading a top 5 offense. Baker Mayfield (whom I agree with you), could (I doubt it), be another Alex Smith. Look at Geno Smith. Some players just need more time and the right system for them to work out and it's possible that Fields is no different. I could even point to Trevor Lawrence. In his rookie year, I believe it was PFF.com that had him ranked as the 35th best QB in the league that year. Personally, I think the Bears to clean house completely and let that coach pick his guy.

Yeah, that organization is definitely a hot mess. I think Fields is someone who needs an experienced coach with the ability to teach someone with his skillsets. Fields basically had a lame duck coach draft him. His second year, they bring in a new guy who has his first HC job and he's a defensive coordinator who hires a first time OC (who coached a pocket passer). I mean, if there's a blue print of "How to fail", the Bears followed it. As a result, Fields is being throw onto the chopping block for failing to excel around coaches who have no known track record of success. I'm not saying Fields is good and it's his coaches fault, but I'm saying I'm not convinced that Fields is "THE" problem and I don't know that he's a lost cause.

With respect to @listen2me 23's post, I thought the Bears were going to make the playoffs. I saw their schedule and it looked pretty easy and I thought they could win 9 games (maybe 10), as I thought we could see an improvement from the offense. Apparently not only are they worse on offense, they seem to be worse on defense. My thinking was that last year with a new coach/system, they'd struggle, but things would improve this year. That's clearly not the case.

This should be pinned.
