Poverty franchise that hasn't been relevant since the 80s

I notice you don't question the validity of the NY Knicks listed in the top 10. They haven't won a championship since 1973. Nor did you question the Jets, who haven't won any major trophy since '69. Or how about the Raiders? No SB dub since '84....two years earlier than the Bears. Funny how none of these teams fail to be called out by your non-relevant take.

It seems pretty clear that you have something personal against the Bears or perhaps Bears fans, which is a little strange being they're not divisional rivals. Who knows, maybe you were beat up by a Bears fan as a kid or one them has been banging your ex-wife. I have no idea, that's your business. But to question the Bears market value for being a top 10 sports franchise is just plain goofy, and it displays an obviously weird bias you hold..

Same can be said for the Knicks and Raiders. The Raiders have that new stadium. So it a little understandable.

Just saying the Bears haven't had 3 consecutive winning seasons since the 80s and no fancy new stadium.

If you want to criticize the success of the Bears or better stated the lack thereof, there probably isn't a Bears fan out there who would argue. We all know what a sucky team we've had for so many years, just we also know a new stadium is long overdue. My responses have strictly been from a marketing standpoint. They deserve to be a top 10 value franchise just based on their historical contribution to the NFL, as well has being in the 3rd largest market in the league.

Wow. This is a big one at that price

 

[ducky]

Wow. This is a big one at that price

....and only $4 mil of that is guaranteed. The other $2M is incentive based.

I am sure I am not the only fan of a CB needy team that is pretty pissed seeing this one.

It was just 2 years ago that any and everyone would have had this guy as a top 5 CB in the league. And at 28 years only, it is possible that he gets back or close to back to a high level.

Can't argue that.

Great move by the Ravens.

I'm sticking to my Super Bowl prediction of Rams and Ravens

I may be putting the Ravens in my SB prediction as well...but it's June so talk to me when September rolls around.
Oh and it won't be against the Rams, that I can tell you now

Sadly it will likely be the team whose name I shall not utter. Although this would be the 3rd year in a row and I have made thousands betting on them the last two, so not so bad after all...

We need an unlike button, lol

I think the Ravens are clearly the most talented team in the AFC on paper. I also think the AFC is once again a bit more top heavy than the NFC while the NFC is deeper, although who knows how it will play out when the games get underway.

But the Bills and Chiefs are going to make Lamar beat them.

I dont know about the Lamar jackson thing, but he is definitely gonna look good on that defense. & looking good is how he will definitely get paid! Smart move by both parties.

I think if they didnt have lamar as their QB, they would be the favorites. (yeah I said it)

They have the most complete team in the NFL IMO.
Defense, Coaching staff, running game, trenches. They dont really have a weakness.

Lamar is a top 4 QB in the NFL. The only way they might be more favored with another QB besides Lamar is if that QB was Mahomes, Burrow or Allen. It’s absurd to act like Lamar is the weakness.

Oh I know I am in the minority, but I been saying it since he came into the league.
As long as the 1st thing you think about is legs/running when talking of your QB. You will fail in the postseason. It has come true every year so far. Baltimore has probably had the better team in all their postseason losses.
Dont have to debate it. I know I am the only thinking like this. (Same as Vick)
but every year I am vindicated.

Now I will admit. I think Lamar took great strides last year as a passer. Maybe we talk of him as a passer at the end of this year over being a running highlight! But until then. They will fall short in the playoffs. Unless the Ravens defense become so dominant they dont need offense.

Bills-Bears practice is the Friday before their 8/17 Sunday night preseason game on Fox.

 

[jarntt]

At least now with Aaron Donald retired we don't have to worry about anyone swinging helmets on 8/5...
