As a fan of likable athletes, I'm glad to hear he should make a full recovery in time for next year. As a fan of the Bears, I'm happy for any factors that will assist in us not finishing last this year.

So last year I tried to predict every record in this post. I seemed to have remembered that I did very poorly...but looking back, it wasn't that bad! I picked 3 teams' records exactly right, 11 teams' records were off by one win, and 6 teams' records were off by two wins--so 20 teams were in the +/- two win territory, which I'm pretty happy about. That can swing things pretty massively, though, especially when it comes to division winners--I only picked two correctly, and only had 5 of the 12 playoff teams picked. Of the teams I seriously overvalued (i.e., I predicted they'd get more wins than they actually did), three had serious QB problems (the Ravens +5, Colts +4, and Cowboys +7) so I feel like they could've been much closer (the other, San Diego +6, was just a fucking mess). Of the teams I undervalued (i.e. predicted fewer wins), two got surprisingly good QB play (Jets -6 and Washington -6), one was Carolina (-6) and the other were the resurgent Cardinals (-7). As we talked about throughout the season in the 2015 thread, I thought the league was surprisingly bottom-heavy last year--meaning, there were more bad teams than there were average or good teams. When thinking about how things might shuffle out this year, I imagine we're going to regress towards the mean--that is, closer to an even number of "average" teams, "good" teams, and "bad" teams. Last year there were 19 teams with 8 or fewer wins; I'm predicting that there will be 15 of those teams this year. I'll consider this a good year for long-term predictions if I predict 2 out of the following 3 items: at least half the league within 1 win (+/-) of their final record, 4/8 division winners, and 8/12 playoff teams. I'll get back to this in January!

The Chase Daniel era just began in Philly.

Give your other options, I don't either. This certainly helps.

We dont need a huge gunslinger. We just need someone who can manage the game and break out every once in awhile. I Just hope it doesnt take him 5 weeks to gel with the offense.durdencommatyler wrote:Strat wrote:Yea i dont hate this move.durdencommatyler wrote:The Chase Daniel era just began in Philly.

He certainly can do what you describe. And I agree you don't a huge gunslinger. The only other issue is his injury prone past. Hopefully, he can make it through the season.Strat wrote:We dont need a huge gunslinger. We just need someone who can manage the game and break out every once in awhile.

A 1st and 4th round pick is still overtrading for Bradford, though.

My thoughts too. He is not worth a first rounder next year when you probably could have gotten a healthier kid coming out of college with that pick next yearGreen Habit wrote:A 1st and 4th round pick is still overtrading for Bradford, though.

Could become a 2nd if he plays well. Of course, then it's a moot point considering that means they are likely winning ball games.Green Habit wrote:A 1st and 4th round pick is still overtrading for Bradford, though.

right, i'd be happy with them giving up a 2017 1st and 2018 2nd if it meant the vikings won the super bowl. but the fear now is you gave up a 2017 1st and 2018 4th for a guy who gets his knee blown out again three games into his tenure. risk/reward on this is pretty high.

Especially since it's more than likely given his past that he will actually get hurt and not start 16 games.AndySlash wrote:right, i'd be happy with them giving up a 2017 1st and 2018 2nd if it meant the vikings won the super bowl. but the fear now is you gave up a 2017 1st and 2018 4th for a guy who gets his knee blown out again three games into his tenure. risk/reward on this is pretty high.

Idk. I like the move. They're a good team that doesn't want to throw a season away before it even got started. Bradford is a big upgrade over Hill, and they could quite feasibly win the division again this year.
