- 5d David Lombardi (X) Chicago might be better positioned to be a long-term threat/archrival of the 49ers — who have Brock Purdy just entering his prime — in the NFC than any other team in the conference. Seattle has yet to prove they can sustain a title-caliber offense. LA’s at the end of the Stafford era. The Bears have Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and now a real shot to be above water defensively with Jeffery Simmons. That balance is the only way to sustainably contend

- 5d Erik Lambert (X) Before everyone says we got fleeced, look at the numbers for draft capital to make this make sense! Y’all forget the math sometimes… Not all first-round picks are created equal. The NFL’s traditional draft-value chart assigns the No. 1 overall pick 3,000 points. The No. 25 pick? Just 720. The No. 30 pick? Only 620. Think about that. A single first overall pick is worth nearly FIVE TIMES as much as pick No. 30 according to the chart. So when someone says the Bears gave up two first-round picks, the natural reaction is that Chicago mortgaged its future. Especially lame ass Packers fans who will love talking shit on this. But did they? The Bears are currently 5-2, and if Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson continue building what we’re seeing, Chicago has a legitimate opportunity to become a perennial playoff contender. Let’s assume the Bears finish with the 25th pick in 2027 and the 28th pick in 2028. Using the traditional Jimmy Johnson draft-value chart: 2027 first (#25): 720…
- 5d David Lombardi (X) I expect Jeffery Simmons to move Chicago logo a solid amount north. If that #16 defense moves to at least #12, the Bears are bona fide contenders. Caleb Williams and Brock Purdy are already 1-2 in QBR. Chicago just needs a better defense to complement that

- Oct 4 Omar Kelly (X) The previous two weeks, this Vikings defense has faced two former number one overall picks at QB in Baker Mayfield and Caleb Williams. Limited Baker to complete just 50% of his passes, he was sacked 6 times, threw a pick and finished with a 67.9 QBR (and knocked him out of a month of games). Limited Williams to complete just 57.7% of his passes, sacked him 3 times, intercepted him once and he finished with a 56.2 QBR. But somehow everyone is surprised by what they saw today from Willis and this Dolphins offense? What do you all really want, by the way? Tua back? Quinn Ewers back? What are you going to do when Manning returns to school - and boy he would have lit up these Vikings today, wouldn't he? C'mon folks...stop being big mad and maybe understand what you are really witnessing.

- Sep 15 Larry Mayer (X) 2/3 Caleb Williams’ TD pass to Cole Kmet was elite, with analyst Drew Brees remarking: “The throw and the catch do not get any better.” But Williams was at his best IMO late in first half engineering a 6-play, 80-yard TD drive in 2:13. After being sacked on first play, he completed passes on four straight snaps for 72 yards, including a “jump man” 28-yarder to a sprawling Kalif Raymond and a 24-yard frozen rope to Luther Burden III. Williams followed with a 29-yard TD scramble. I’ve watched Bears since 1970s and have not seen another QB make plays like the ones Caleb produces.

- According to the NFL, 70 percent of all games last season were within one score – that’s eight points – at some point in the fourth quarter. It's a league meant for heroes who perform in the clutch. And the Bears have Caleb Williams. My column.

This is a GOOD preview. · Quoting Clay Harbor: BEARS vs. PANTHERS early PREVIEW
A few things I’m watching Week 1:
▪️ Carolina’s offense has to take a jump. Last year: 27th in scoring and 27th in total offense. Dave Canales has handed play-calling to OC Brad Idzik so Bears won’t have real tendencies on him.
▪️ Tet McMillan is a problem. 6’4”, 70 catches, 1,014 yards and 7 TDs as a rookie. Big play threat obviously.
▪️ Carolina is beat up at OT. Ikem Ekwonu is still recovering from his torn patellar tendon and Taylor Moton is out. They do have legitimate depth with former Packers starter Rasheed Walker and first-round rookie Monroe Freeling.
▪️ Jalen Coker is an underrated matchup. Really good from the slot. He only played 11 regular-season games last year, then went 9 catches for 134 yards against the Rams in the playoffs.
▪️ The Panthers invested heavily in their front seven. Jaelan Phillips gives them a legitimate edge threat, Devin Lloyd is a smart, versatile three-down LB…

- Sep 8 Albert Breer (X) I'd be surprised if it wasn't over $70M APY on the 2024 draft QBs. Josh Allen/Patrick Mahomes could be valued at 9-figure average on new-money APY basis. And Dak Prescott's deal, which had a $60M new-money APY, is now 2 years old—and will be 3 offseasons old in the spring. · Quoting James Palmer: Something to think about with Baker Mayfield. $55 million is the going rate for a QB ... right now. Wait until AFTER the 2026 season. Lamar is a wildcard and could agree to a massive new deal at anytime between now and this upcoming offseason. What are Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Bo Nix going to get next offseason? Those deals could raise the rate for the entire QB market. A 55 million dollar price tag today, could be a $65 million dollar price tag next offseason.
- Sep 8 Adam Schefter (X) A plus for the Buccaneers getting Baker Mayfield’s deal done now is the looming reality of what should be a booming QB market next offseason, when Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Bo Nix all become extension-eligible for the first time. · Quoting Adam Schefter: ESPN sources: two-time Pro-Bowl selection Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers reached agreement today on a three-year contract extension that will prevent the quarterback from becoming a free agent after this season, per me and @RapSheet. Mayfield had broken off talks as camp opened, but with the regular season kicking off this week, a deal has been revisited and now struck.
- Sep 8 Greg Auman (X) The actual QB free agents next spring aren't great -- Murray, Tua, Watson -- but after this season, Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix are all eligible for longterm extensions and will all make more than Mayfield's new deal, and on longer contracts.

- I just think Caleb Williams should be most excited of all. Between Thomas’ speed that can take the top off a defense, Burden as another field-stretcher, Odunze, and Colston Loveland who’s a monster, it feels like Williams is about to make a big leap building on his strong second half last year.
- Year 35 of my annual NFL Training Camp Tour is OVERRRRR!! Thank GOD!! I had about 23, 24 teams/stops from July 24 to today. In addition to what I say in the video, some players and teams who also stood out who I hadn’t mentioned yet on the road. I was there for Myles Garrett first practice and it was RIDICULOUS how disruptive and dynamic he was. Blew everyone out of the water. Also, I know I talked in posts about Caleb Williams and Jalen Hurts but every year I am more and more impressed with Jordan Love and his growth. I’m a big believer in him. I liked what I saw from the Cowboys too. No drama and a revamped defense. Yup, I’m buying Dallas. Also think the @ravens are going to be a very tough draw for teams this year. I’m sure I’m leaving out a ton butttt I’m heading home to Rosie for first time since July 23rd. That plus I’m delirious. And thanks to all the teams for letting me work out at their spots, rehab and recover with them. Don’t know how i would do this tour without that.…
