buddha Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 remember how everyone said how great and transcendant the 2021 qb class would be? they all suck. lawrence is the only one who is decent and he's been underwhelming. its like that with almost every qb class. and it will be like that again for this qb class.

buddha Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 when its a year like this year with a bunch of qbs at the top, you usually get one great one, one or two good ones, and a bunch of journeymen clip holders. heck, the 2021 class might go down as one of the WORST qb classes. certainly the most overhyped. ah yes, who can forget tpfan and his rant that brad holmes was a terrible gm because he took a TACKLE over justin fields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate seeing the mock drafts with JJ going to Minnesota. I don't want to see him twice a season. And it took me a few games to let tp rant. It kinda drove me nuts a few times...

I read the White Sox are eying the 78 site for their stadium and it looks like a pretty cool site. The sightlines from the stadium would be pretty epic. Knowing the White Sox though, they'll face the stadium in the other direction. I'm just wondering, if the White Sox move, would the old Comiskey site be viable for the Bears?

Motown Bombers Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 If I were Cousins, I would sign with Atlanta. Lot of talent on offense and weak division where he doesn't have to face a juggernaut Lions team twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my "hot take" on this... Going from college to the pros is hard. MOST players will not become stars in the NFL. Most draft picks will be "just okay" or worse. So yeah... anytime a class is touted as rich in position 'X,' most of those players will not amount to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for the most part. I always thought the Arlington Park Race Track was a great location for a stadium. You forgot about the grief the Obama Library received from the Friends of the Lake as well. Where exactly does Southside Chicago actually start. Our time there was spent mostly in the western suburbs. My wife's job was in Streeterville. I spent a lot of time either commuting to what used to be Palwaukee Airport or the Merchandise Mart. Anything south of Grant Park was always "Southside" in my mind as a foreigner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything south of Grant Park was always "Southside" in my mind as a foreigner depends how you mean it. technically the dividing line is madison in the loop. i dont consider places like the commodities exchange to be on the "southside." the "78" is just below the loop. south loop they call it now. the bears current stadium is south of the dividing line, do they play on the "southside"? i dont think so, they play on the lakefront. buckingham fountain is too. so to me just south of soldier field on the lakefront isnt "the southside." its the lakefront. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really nice areas Southside, you need to explore around University of Chicago or the Museum of Science and Industry. But that would be considered Lake Front, I guess.

buddha Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 the southside and south suburbs reminds me of detroit. working class, lots of strip malls, some ethnic enclaves. majority black. hyde park is nice. bronzeville has some nice areas to it. i know people who live in south shore who like it. pilsen is the southside but its gentrfying very quickly. becoming more like the north side east of ashland. west to western is developing but is still very mexican. little village is all mexican. but now youre getting more into whether youre in the "west" or "south." traditionally (at least in the last 30-40 years since the great influx of mexican immigrants) the south side is black, the north side is white, and the west side is mexican. that's a way too general way to look at it, but there's some truth to it. a lot of the southside is not very nice. back of the yards, etc. the west side is worse in a lot of places. but the northside is my favorite place in the whole country. one of the greatest parts of the greatest city in america.
