34 years of top tier HOF QBs, expect Love to make a 180 & become a HOFr too. Our luck.

If that were to happen that will surely put the Bears as the team with the worst QB luck ever, after all before Fields which was the best Bears QB ever? Jay Cutler? Jim McMahon? A guy that played 70 years ago or so?

If Love turned out to be a HOF that would mean the Bears would had to face four to five decades of masterful QB play, not even the AFC East faced that kind of nightmare scenario with Brady.

It’s insane but yes, statistically speaking, Jay Cutler is the best quarterback the Chicago Bears have ever had. I mean that’s just insane, and sad for Bears fans like myself.

I surely don’t expect Love to be the caliber of Favre or Rodgers (very few ever have been). I am praying that Fields comes out and finally gives us that quarterback that we’ve been so desperately searching for. I would say that they probably already have the worst luck ever in terms of QB play. They are one of the original teams too.

Justin Jefferson might not be good to draft for this season. Yes, Kirk Cousins said it is okay for him not be included in Justin Jefferson's list of top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL. However, Cousins will show his real feelings on the field hehehehe. No throws for Justin on 2023 hehehe.



Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins offered an honest perspective on Thursday regarding his take on being overlooked by teammate Justin Jefferson on his list of the top-five quarterbacks in the NFL.

A clip of the star receiver from a recent trip to Brazil as an NFL ambassador went viral earlier this month after Jefferson tabbed, in order, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen as the game’s best QBs.

During an appearance on KFAN-FM 100.3’s The Power Trip, Cousins was asked if it bothered him that he was excluded from Jefferson’s list. After initially saying he was unaware of the ranking, the 34-year-old graciously accepted the opinion before looking toward the pair’s future.

While sometimes this can be disregarded as an irrelevant comment, how many times we have seen good players defending their subpar QBs even if deep down they know they are lying to the media? The fact Jefferson took the opportunity to take a shot at Cousins with his rankings tell us he is not happy with him either, after all he could have easily excluded Rodgers due to his age from the list and add Cousins as a friendly gesture.

Do not take the reply seriously, I was only making a funny comment hehe. I am quite certain Justin Jefferson will remain one of the highest ranked players during our fantasy draft. He might be there with Cooper Kupp on ranks no.3 or no.4.

I guess you should always try to hype up your guy, but let's be honest Cousins isn't really all that good. He chokes in primetime games and the Vikings were in way too many 1 score games last year. He's top 12 in the league but not top 5 and the only 1s that should consider putting him in their top 5 are his own receivers.

Cousins isn’t also all that bad. There’s plenty of quarterbacks in the NFL whom are much worse than Kirk who are still starting quarterbacks in the league. Cousins doesn’t have to be good enough to win a championship in order to give Justin Jefferson elite value, he’s just got to be good enough to be able to get him the ball well enough to do his thing, which he is.


Looks like Titans are signing DHop. Doesn’t do me any good for my Treylon Burks pick this year in Dynasty.

Hello @yahoo62278, I hope your health is getting better.

I wanted to participate last year but it filled before I saw it. If there is an open spot I definitely want it. As far as my health goes, i'm good enough to be at home and not in the hospital, so that's a positive.

Let me know what I need to do to join this cause I definitely could use more distractions in my life.

I see an opportunity here.  Does the league need a hazing ritual for new members?  Let's put it up to a vote for all of last year's participants.  You know, like the clusterfuck for all the league settings we had last year.  I feel hazed.  

My suggestion for the league hazing ritual; find the shittiest shitpost that you have made (and survived the mods) and post it in the hall of shame thread.

  Welcome aboard!

Hah, funny I was reading this thread earlier and thinking we might want to do something as we did talk about something similar last year IIRC.

I thought the fan letter to your losing QB until he responds was a pretty good one.

Speaking of hazing, this is a buddy of mine from college.  You may have heard about the Northwestern Football coach being fired due to hazing "rituals"  which were a part of their program, and he was interviewed having played there is freshman year and for having spoken out against it on twitter (he came to Southern IL Univ his Jr and Sr year I believe it was, hence when we met).  Just though you guys might find this interesting..

We are only 8 Sundays away from NFL football action.  Training Camp starts up here in like a week I believe.  I can smell the football in the air! lol

[ChiBitCTy]

Training Camp has officially opened...so exciting that football has officially begun!

Check out this clip of Rodgers to Wilson yesterday..man this stuff is so exciting to me https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BGZY3W1E1xM



So I'm not saying we should switch to Sleeper for our league, let me start off emphatically expressing that...but that being said, I just did my first draft (dynasty) on sleeper and man it's a great fantasy app, and if it's not already the best one, it's going to be.  It's way more in-depth than any other app out there.  I'm becoming a huge fan.  It's a bit complicated at first, but once you figure out all the nuances, it really shines. 

Just thought I'd share some screen shots of some of the features just so you guys have an idea how it looks.  I know Sleeper has been discussed here a few times..




When you scroll to the far right of the app, you've got all these great links.  What I really like is the news, the podcasts and the advice section.  Really cool stuff.  You can tell they are working hard to make this the ultimate fantasy platform

If everyone comebacks from the previous season and with the addition of @seek3r and @yahoo62278 then it seems we reached the goal to expand to a 12 player league, but maybe we should check just in case as maybe not everyone has the time to join the league this year.

Assuming everyone returns, should we change the playoff format? And let 6 teams to move to the playoffs with the top two teams getting a BYE or maybe expand it to 8 teams as some may not like not playing their teams on the most important part of the season?

About the second league, I am in, now we just have to wait to see if there is enough interest on it.

And finally about the sleeper app, does it has a browser version so can I draft and do all what I could need to manage a team? If not and the majority decides to migrate to the app I will make do, but I really prefer to do things from my desktop computer rather than to use apps as the size of the font is kind of small, so if the sleeper website has that option that would be great.

[yahoo62278]

I don't care what app we use as long as I have a little time to look around and get familiar with it(1 week). What is the buy-in and who/where are we sending it? I see .0025 mentioned but I want to be sure. Are we including preseason? Post season? Will there be a separate thread with everything we need to know?

Good question, should start tallying a list for us to vote on once we have everyone in the thread participating.

cool, we need a list of this as well for who's interested.

I also prefer desktop sites and tried sleeper last year but their stats were wrong and they never replied to my emails asking for corrections.

These are things we tend to vote on after we get the league settled on who's in for the season.


EDIT: OK guys I emailed everyone in the league to drop in here and just let everyone know they will be playing again this year.

I'm down for whatever price on the ff.

In real football news, thank God giants signed Barkley, that would have been a huge hole at running back.  Signed Jones for years and Thomas our left tackle for years.  They are 8.5-1 to win the nfc east.  I know eagles are favorites but I can see them regressing some.  Might throw a flyer on the g men

I would say its better than even money they can catch a wildcard slot this year.





I went back and looked at yahoo's ratings of our draft report card last year and the top 3 teams were all rated in the bottom 4!  

I found that highly amusing.
