Coach...no hatred for anyone, let alone a player that cries to his parents in the stands when they lose. Just not sure its the best way to show leadership and grab control of a locker room.....in the case of the NFL.....a locker room full of men. Perhaps that's where the painted nails come in.......😉

Perhaps....I have pretty certain in the case of CG, administration didn't seek individual's opinions on turf fields on GID before deciding on turf for football, soccer, baseball, etc. They certainly would have done their research, but just don't think they consider opinions of fans on GID. But, perhaps they are in the minority...... Now, do coaches visit GID and share opinions of various members? I can get my arms around that.....

Do you think Administrators seek out GID as a viable source to help them with decision-making? That was my point. If they do, well, I just learned something.

I am not anti-McCarthy...just discussing if the Rose Bowl (single game) was enough to vault him higher up the draft. I am with you on Williams...that is why my earlier comments about him to another member questioned his leadership abilities. When SC lost to Washington and he went over and cried to his parents in the stands, that did not capture the essence of leadership...as least for me.

Muda...you went dark on me. I not a reporting kind of guy and why put you on ignore? You put out some good stuff. I just find it surprising that you feel a need to sway others to your views. Be confident my man in your own views, and resist feeling the need for validation through conversion of others. As I said, even if you convert a person or 2, nothing will come from it on this site. Not the tree to bark up.... Got to be honest...i did get a slight chuckle that you thinking if you complain long enough, you will change the minds of various high school administrators around the state from investing in turf fields....do you truly believe they would see you both as a desired and credible source in their decision-making process?

is it working for you? Do you have any converts? Even if you have had success converting people to your beliefs, what good is it doing on this forum? Bottom line, do you see high schools reducing their investments with turf because of your efforts? Chasing parked cars....

ok...made some good plays to help tie the game....big enough sample for you to project a future NFL 1st round pick that will have have a stellar NFL career? One TD in the entire second half and I believe the TD drive was the only sustained drive of that half.

But you have done this...over and over and over and over and over..............infinity symbol. We get your position. Most do not agree and you are not going to change anyone's mind. And even if you did gain a convert, what does it mean? Nothing will change as a result of this behavior on this particular forum. Its kind of like a dog chasing parked cars....

I was intrigued with your comment, because I only remembered one serious drive by UM in the second half. McCarthy did throw a 4 yd TD which was big as it tied up the game. I pulled up the drives in the second half drives for both teams. What stands out in your mind for McCarthy that would cause one to think, "wow, what a big time NFL QB?" Notice most of their possessions in the 2nd half were limited drives.....

Never said he wasn't a good leader. Yeah...his coaches cheated...that's on them, not him. Way not to disappoint with the expected jacka$$ery comments.....

I am betting "yes" on this one......

First turf fields are unsafe and now they are a waste of taxpayer funds.... I am beginning to think you have personal investments tied up in the sod, grass seed, fertilizer and weed killer businesses.....😉

Let's hope....evidently not Dungy or the NFLPA..... https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/03/25/nfl-hip-drop-tackle-ban-nflpa-objections https://nypost.com/2024/03/21/sports/nfl-players-at-odds-over-controversial-hip-drop-tackle/ I think Dungy is right....a player now has 3 choices if he is behind the ball carrier......1) dive at him, which puts legs as a target and/or puts head back in play 2) grab hold and hold on for dear life 3) let him go

Never said that at all....just stating that I'm far more concerned about the size of my federal taxes than I am of my local tax. Far more....

Nothing personal Bob...but Dungy's resume gets my attention and his comment about physics. Sometimes, as you well know, there are unanticipated impacts with rule changes. I am not against the rule change...but sometimes it pays to listen to someone that knows his business.

oh yeah...when I am filing my taxes each year, I fixate on that local tax....that one's the killer!!!! Seriously, my beef with taxes is the feds....I appreciate not paying additional taxes across the board and not a fan of rising property tax...but the vast majority of my tax dollars isn't consumed at the local level.

or...perhaps other reasons to have concern. I don't consider Dungy a "meathead"....darn good resume for NFL defense.

Its a real tough call with these QB's. I agree that McCarthy seems like the best overall leader. Guess we shall see about his passing skills. I like Daniels and Williams athleticism...don't know enough about accuracy...it would seem Williams is pretty accurate, and can make all the throws. I really don't know much about Maye...seems like a solid leader and has the passing skills...but just not sure. I really like Penix for release, accuracy, leadership, etc. His hand size is incredible....but his injury history has to be a red flag. Definitely strong arm needed in the Lake Michigan cold wind.....

fair statement.....

I am an older guy....I am thinking well before 1999 when he took over the helm. Unless one believes Bob Avellini was an all pro.... 😉 Jim McMahon was the last Bears QB I've been excited about, and I wouldn't have called him great. Awesome you have your faith in Caleb Williams. The way I saw him perform in big games this season, including crying to his parents in a big game that went bad for him, doesn't have me full of confidence. But, I have been wrong plenty of times...may be pleasantly surprised.

Nice starter slope for beginners......😳

Love your faith....I just tend to look at historical trends.....its been a while since the organization has knocked it out of the park with a QB. Hey, I am a big Cubs fan....perhaps this is the year.

Those dang extremist right wingers!!!!! 😆

....and the Bears have such a strong record of vetting and drafting QB's?

Great insurance and guessing will be an excellent mentor to AR
