Bear Hands

Even as a mod, I'm getting close. My dad gave up his PSLs he got year 1, finally, this year. They're not in Charlotte anymore, finally were like its not worth trying to give away half of these that they won't travel in for. Everyone in my orbit is out of Charlotte minus a select few. There's not much tying me to the team anymore. My parents are both from Chicago, I live in the north shore, my wife & I just had our first (boy), and I'm seriously thinking he'll grow up a Bears fan (I know, not that much better haha). And I was perusing through some old photos of me as a kid, and realize my dad had me in Bears & Cubs gear all the time. Moved to Charlotte in 92 as a youngin' and when the team came, the fandom just happened to us all. Not a big football merch guy, but all I've got left is one Kuechly jersey that I never wear and a carhart Panthers hat that is for hiking/house work. Times are a changing and honestly, I'm tuning out. I dettached from the Hornets about 3 years ago entirely. This feels eerily similar to when I was just completely dettached emotionally from a fan standpoint. And it's just football at the end of the day. I just want to watch some fun games at this point.

Im a big Cam Ward fan - I’ll have to dig up my stuff the last 2 drafts - was big on both him and Daniels a bit before their blooming. The next guy I got my eye on is also Drew Allar. You just can’t ignore 6’5 235 and that type of arm. He’s shown to be a bit quicker than people thought this year - far less of a statue than assumed. Can make every throw, and make it look effortless.

Texans actually traded up with us to grab Nico haha. And the pick right before Dell was another we traded away.

I'd like to know how this offense of Canales runs and if we got anything in guys like Legette and Sanders. Bryce doesn't allow this to be seen.

I love Nico and Dell. Such a fun team

Alrighty now, let's get ready to watch the 2 QBs who we passed on for Bryce. Go Bears.

After today's game, his career YPA after 18 games is 5.1. That is statistically the worst YPA in NFL history for a QB who started more than 1 season. The worst.

Right? Thing is, benching 1.01 after 18 games is a death knell. So when it happens, he's straight up done. Could be done in the NFL all together. I don't see how any team would even want to pick him up next year coing off what we've seen. I realistically see 1-2 more weeks if this continues. He legit may have about 2 games max left in this league. He is currently 2-17 as a starting QB. This is unbearable.

Saw this on reddit lol:

There's many ways to say it. You can take the angle where you analyze Tepper to no end or state the obvious with Bryce on repeat. You can romanticize the old days, pine for Jake and Smitty or Cam and Luke. You can reminisce about your experiences at the stadium, really dig deep and write up the most lovely long post about god knows what. But I don't think we need to anymore. We suck and that's really it. We are below the bottom barrel. We're going to be a top-3 pick in the 2025 draft, likely #1 overall. And yeah, we really suck. Like, a lot. Probably more than we ever have.

Is he sure he wants to play next week? I'm sure there's some fun Sunday thing going on in South End or NoDa he could check out instead. No one would even notice him.

Haha

I'm just stunned that he's somehow regressed from last season. He can barely complete a downfield pass other than a quick slant to Thielen. There is no way he's making it through this season. We are done here.

Yeah I'm agreeing.

McConkey showing us what we passed on

Dalls is about to give up 42 to NO in 3 quarters so last week is not looking ridiculous. They've forced 2 TOs, gave up some big plays, but they have played tough. Interior OL has looked sharp, run game sharp, quarterback is trash.

This is not an unreasonable question to ask. And it could very well be yes. If you were seeing this from a 2nd-4th round pick, and he would have already been benched. This is some of the worst QB play I've ever seen.

I don't think he's completed a non-screen/bubble type pass. 2 receptions by WRs, both were screens.

Bryce's halftime stats. I'll just let that speak for itself.

I think Zach Wilson showed more for NYJ.

He can't play the game.

This is just as stunted as we were with Clausen. It really is.

Jump pass lol
