Adam Schefter Explains How the Bears Masterfully Played the Trub Trade

[richig07]

This has been explained quite a few times, and even when sources cited... People just shrugged them off. Presumably, because they didn't want to admit they were wrong. The Bears played the hell out of the Browns. Kept them on the phone, bluffing a negotiation of a "trade-down" into their spot. That way, they could keep them off of the phone with San Fran.

ESPN's Adam Schefter sheds light on Bears' trade for Trubisky

Appearing on ESPN’s morning radio show Mike and Mike, NFL insider Adam Schefter shed some light on the Bears’ decision to trade the No. 3 pick, a third and fourth-rounder in 2017, and a third-round pick in 2018 to move up to the No. 2 pick for UNC quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

Contrary to the national narrative, the Bears weren’t schooled.

While Chicago was in heavy negotiations with the San Francisco 49ers, they were holding off the Cleveland Browns by negotiating a deal that would allow the Browns to move up to the No. 3 pick; In essence, they duped Cleveland into believing they could move into the Bears’ spot for Trubisky, who by all accounts, the Browns coveted nearly as much as Myles Garrett.

By using such a deceptive tactic, the Bears were able to keep the Browns away from the 49ers pick and insured they’d get their guy.

Schefter confirmed that multiple teams were interested in moving up for the No. 2 pick, too. The narrative that Pace was bidding against himself to move up is simply false, as is the suggestion that coach John Fox wasn’t involved in the evaluation of Trubisky

Now what will happen if he falls flat on his face the first two games? While the Bears be crucified in Chicago?

Hard to fall flat on your face from the bench.

Hard to fall flat on your face from the bench.

wait...... I thought everyone were saying he was the starter from the get.. what gives?

As a Packers fan I am outraged! I want the Bears organization barred from drafting for the next 5 drafts or forced to trade for Cutler and make him their starter for next 5 years

Howard>>>Zeke

 

[mcnabb7542]

Notice Bears fans keep posting about "Mitchy" just to keep them selves hyped about this trade and draft?

It's almost like the cool aid has worn off and now there scared shitless about the outcome!

 

[mcnabb7542]

Howard>>>Zeke

Bruh, I love Jordan Howard, but that comparison right there,

 

[richig07]

Who said that? I literally don't think one person said that. lol. The Bears have been very clear he isn't, and he's gotten run with the 3's in pre-season.

 

[richig07]

Bruh, I love Jordan Howard, but that comparison right there,

I mean, Howard did have nearly identical numbers, in a much worse offense and for a much worse team who often abandoned running early.

I have been very clear about not being sold on Mitch. However, this board does have an ass backwards understanding of that draft.

Bruh..Zeke is retarded. He will continue to shoot himself in the foot. His own worst enemy.


Besides, what makes it so ridiculous?

Zeke: #1, with 1631 yards rushing
Howard: #2 with 1313 yards


Howard didn't even play the first 4 games. I think it's safe to say, that had he 4 additional games on the board, those yards would be much closer, possibly even surpassing Zeke, on a much worse team.

LMAO

You were just shown evidence that he wouldn't have been.

Hold the phone, I want to look that up....

 

[beardown07]

I would personally rather have Howard than Zeke. Howard is a humble, hard worker.


Zeke is an ego-maniac with a penchant for pussy and booze.


I would bet the farm, he serves another suspension at some point in his career.

 

[mcnabb7542]

Howard>>>Zeke

Bruh, never mind, please continue.....

 

[beardown07]

lurve you snuzzles

 

[mcnabb7542]

lurve you snuzzles

A. I didn't know he had that many yards last year
B. and the fact he was out four games last year,

Does raise the question....
