Speaker 1: Mitchell Trabinsky moving, you know, the Bears trading up to
Speaker 1: number two, moving up one spot, you know, under some
Speaker 1: pretense that someone else was going to take him at two. Apparently,
Speaker 1: and apparently you know they're going for their quarterback despite
Speaker 1: spending forty five million dollars on Mike Glennon just a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. Is there any rhyme or reason here, Joe,
Speaker 1: if you are a Bears fan right now, do you
Speaker 1: see a plan? Oh, it's certainly a plan. Whether or
Speaker 1: not it's the plan you want, we'll find out. I
Speaker 1: think I actually saw Brian Billicon. I think he articulated
Speaker 1: it perfectly this afternoon. He said, if you're gonna move
Speaker 1: up with that kind of a package for a quarterback,
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a guy that you're not trying to develop,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a guy who's gonna be a starter
Speaker 1: from day one. And I think he's exactly right. That's
Speaker 1: the tone that you're setting when you move up and
Speaker 1: you package all those draft picks to go up there
Speaker 1: and make that move. Now, they didn't really talk about
Speaker 1: him in any way, shape or form starting right out
Speaker 1: of the gate. That's why they're brought in glenn in
Speaker 1: the first place. So for me, I think it's too
Speaker 1: much for a guy with only thirteen starts, a guy
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to develop, and worst off, you've got
Speaker 1: a situation where not gonna be able to develop him
Speaker 1: necessarily under a John Fox led coaching staff or under
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Mike Glennon. It's not like he's playing
Speaker 1: behind a great veteran quarterback where he's gonna be able
Speaker 1: to learn the position, or even playing playing behind an
Speaker 1: Alex Smith for that matter, or an Alex Smith, you know,
Speaker 1: with a quarterback grooper like Andy Reid, which is my
Speaker 1: homes and a much better situation. You can't teach arm
Speaker 1: strength thing. Absolutely no, I completely agree with you, But
Speaker 1: we'll get into that Kansas City move a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean, is Andy Reid basically going from horizontal to vertical?
Speaker 1: I think that's a very interesting question. But I gotta
Speaker 1: ask you, Joe Listen. I am in a very competitive
Speaker 1: two quarterback crazy dynasty league, and I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: because speeds of spitting statistician knows his stuff, and I
Speaker 1: knew Mike Glennon's contract was coming up, and I knew
Speaker 1: that he had a chance to be a starter, right,
Speaker 1: So I picked him up the middle of the season,
Speaker 1: held onto him the entire you know, my entire playoff run,
Speaker 1: all this stuff, you know, so that he's now you know,
Speaker 1: I get him in like the thirteenth round in next
Speaker 1: year's draft, which I was really happy about. Do I
Speaker 1: have cause for concern in my dynasty league for the
Speaker 1: next you know, for two thousand seventeen or do you
Speaker 1: think that could be an issue you know, more eighteen
Speaker 1: and beyond. I think it's more atheen and beyond. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I think they made the
Speaker 1: commitment to Glennon and I don't think Dr Whisky is
Speaker 1: anywhere near ready now. An injury can change that all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, real quick. That's something to keep in mind.
Speaker 1: But first of all, let me tell you you're doing
Speaker 1: it right because you're playing in a two quarterback league
Speaker 1: or a super flex. If you're not playing in that
Speaker 1: kind of league at this point in time, I think
Speaker 1: you're doing it wrong because that's where the stats are,
Speaker 1: that's where the NFL is, and that's where the position
Speaker 1: is being utilized. It's quarterback. It's not running back anymaire
Speaker 1: or more and that's what the kind of leagues that
Speaker 1: you need to make sure that you're in. That's what
Speaker 1: we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle help people win
Speaker 1: their leagues and win that cash a joey. One thing
Speaker 1: you mentioned though, is that an injury can always change things.
Speaker 1: This reminds me of another team situation only a year ago,
Speaker 1: where an injury did ultimately change things. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagle who had Sam Bradford under contract right
Speaker 1: and they were paying him money and everyone was complaining
Speaker 1: to be quite honest about how much money he was
Speaker 1: making and how much money the Eagles had already committed
Speaker 1: to that quarterback position, not only with him, but with
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel as well, you know, going into the draft
Speaker 1: last year, then they move up, you know, to get
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz have all that you know, money and talent
Speaker 1: locked up in the quarterback room. But then an injury
Speaker 1: goes and you know, there goes Bradford and that paves
Speaker 1: the way for Carson Wentz last year. Do you see,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna get into some other possible trades
Speaker 1: that could still be live a little bit later on
Speaker 1: in the show. Do you think now that the way
Speaker 1: the Glennon contract is structured, gives the Bears an out
Speaker 1: to potentially use Glennon as an asset down the road
Speaker 1: as well. I have a hard time believe at this
Speaker 1: point in time Glennon is that much of an asset.
Speaker 1: I would have thought Sam Bradford wasn't an asset. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the problem with Bradford is he still got that
Speaker 1: weird petty. It's funny what follows you in the NFL?
Speaker 1: You know, when you're pick number one overall and you
Speaker 1: have this pedigree Oklahoma or follow Sam Bran, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: follows him. The number one overall follows him. Also the
Speaker 1: tag of very talented but injuries, can't stay on the field.
Speaker 1: If he could just put it together, if he could,
Speaker 1: if if, if, but if don't always get it done. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I think Bradford was a unique situation. I'd be very
Speaker 1: surprised if Glennon is not the opening day starter for
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, and I would be very even more surprised.
Speaker 1: And if he wasn't the starter at the end of
Speaker 1: the year, now that's gonna be a different story. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be an open competitionalist. Glennon plays horribly horribly. But
Speaker 1: you know, Glennon's not that bad. And if you give
Speaker 1: him some weapons, you give them a decent running game.
Speaker 1: I kind of like what he would have to do
Speaker 1: in a you know, two quarterback league super flex. He
Speaker 1: might not be that bad, all right. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you say a lot of ifs in there, if
Speaker 1: in a metro card gets me home, I want to
Speaker 1: say that the uh, the Green Bay Packers have in
Speaker 1: fact selected they stay in that pick. They've selected Kevin
Speaker 1: King cornerback out of Washington. As we know that past
Speaker 1: defense last year for the Green Bay Packers was a problem,
Speaker 1: so they you know, they get the cornerback out of Washington.
Speaker 1: We can talk about that a little bit later on,
Speaker 1: but I do want to talk about the other side
Speaker 1: of this trade, Joe, because you mentioned, you know, praise
Speaker 1: for your boy John Lynch, who apparently just shines in
Speaker 1: everything he does, whether it's playing safety, whether it's broadcasting
Speaker 1: or in the front office. He's one and oh so
Speaker 1: far in my opinion. Here's the thing. Remember John Lynch
Speaker 1: in that great Tampa Tampa two defense. Right. I have
Speaker 1: heard today comparisons from Solomon Thomas to Warren Sapp and
Speaker 1: I have heard comparisons of Ruben Foster to Derek Brooks.
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster, I'll tell you one thing has that speed
Speaker 1: not only to go sideline to sideline, but to be
Speaker 1: that kind of cover to linebacker and get depth in coverage.
Speaker 1: If that's the kind of defense that San Francisco is
Speaker 1: looking for, you gotta love what John Lynch is doing
Speaker 1: so far early on to trade back, accumulate all sorts
Speaker 1: of other assets and draft capital to move back one spot,
Speaker 1: still get the guy they probably wanted at the top anyway,
Speaker 1: and then get a guy who who many people were
Speaker 1: saying top five, top ten talent back trading back into
Speaker 1: the end of the US round. Talk to me, how
Speaker 1: do you how are you looking at John Lynch in
Speaker 1: the move that Niners are making so far. Well, look
Speaker 1: that's the kicker getting back in there and taking Ruben Foster. Now,
Speaker 1: however he is whatever whatever you know baggage is following him,
Speaker 1: or whatever injury questions you might have about him, the
Speaker 1: talent is certainly not something to question. He is a
Speaker 1: top ten talent without doubt. John Lynch did a fantastic job.
Speaker 1: A lot of the people out there today are basically
Speaker 1: saying nobody could verify that anyone else was talking about
Speaker 1: Mitch Drabsky, not not one Mitchell Mitchell. Yeah, well he's
Speaker 1: Mitch right now. When he just start in the NFL,
Speaker 1: I'll call him, I'll call him Mitchell. But look here,
Speaker 1: here's my point about what Lynch did. What Lynch did
Speaker 1: as a classic opportunity of you know somebody wants him,
Speaker 1: you create uh, some sort of fake leverage. He did that.
Speaker 1: He used that. The forty Niners are a team and
Speaker 1: a roster that's bereft of talent. They have so many
Speaker 1: holes in so many places. The first thing you need
Speaker 1: to do is start to solidify defense. They did that.
Speaker 1: They did it in spades last night. I think it
Speaker 1: was a great job by John Lynch. We'll see what
Speaker 1: they do tonight. Getting back into that end of the
Speaker 1: draft in the first round and getting Foster was just
Speaker 1: the icing on the top of the cake. Was a
Speaker 1: cherry on top and not just a great move by Lynch. Listen,
Speaker 1: you said created some fake interest. Oh, I definitely so.
Speaker 1: You do you do think he was fake? Now? You
Speaker 1: don't think that circles. You don't think that circles back
Speaker 1: around to him in future kind of wheeling and dealing,
Speaker 1: that his word cannot maybe be trusted when he's negotiating
Speaker 1: with other teams. It doesn't matter if you have what
Speaker 1: the other person wants to I guess, But now are
Speaker 1: people gonna want to trade with San Francisco? I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Look how many trades happen in the NFL
Speaker 1: outside of the draft? You know, So you're in an
Speaker 1: opportunity where where right now? Your window of time to
Speaker 1: turn this organization around is small. Maybe he doesn't know
Speaker 1: the like rules and the norms of the policies and
Speaker 1: the way it's the mostes a win or you're going
Speaker 1: to be out of a job. That's the way the
Speaker 1: NFL work. Fair Lynch knows that John Lynch has been
Speaker 1: around a long time. Fair Enough, fair enough,
