Let us hope that there won't be another rule change at the start of next season. The draft might need to move to a later date because of "preferred player sizes the saga part 2". Aptly names "The Little Guy strikes back!"
Yeah... Butkus & DavidL will have to dissect whatever new rule ensues and determine what body part is going to be the part needing to be put under the microscope. It might be knee diameter or pinky length or even third toe thickness. Then we can start on robust debate on which guy should be picked earlier because of their toe thickness. I can't wait. Something to look forward to.
Are you or should I start up the "Show me toes" thread?

Is "Toe Thickness" replacing the "Arm Length" metric now? If so we need to include weneedmorelinemen in the process too. Just to cover all bases.

No, we have board specialists on this illustrious board. weneedmorelinemen specializes in armlength and players that are worth drafting or acquiring based on that metric. toe thicjness is going to be handled by either DavidL or Butkus. I think they are going to have a cage match to determine who the toe thickness specialist is going to be.
Thinking about it, toe thickness affects pool jumping height as well....
So does that mean we gotta run all this by Jerry Angelo and get him to sign off on it too?
Nothing is easy. We are going to have to get him on retainer. He is still the pool jumping specialist. Honorary, of course, since he is not on the board. Or is he.....

Only if the hair at the top of the toes are trimmed down, in fact just shave em. You know aerodynamics and wind drag. It really boils down to the Bernoulli effect and physics. Science is liar sometimes though so take it with a lil hair on the toe.
Made me laugh out-loud (the sportsmockery comment.)
And....the whole article is based on 6 (6!!!!!!!) throws recorded by a different writer/blogger in a tweet where the original tweeter says he wasn't even close to the field where the 7-on-7 drills were taking place.
So to recap: (1) Original report (a tweet) contains the caveat that the practice field wasn't close to where the tweeter was. (2) Out of all the throws 6 were listed (unless we believe that Williams only had 6 throws during the 7-on-7 drills.) (3) Williams now has an issue throwing across the middle, making him equal in ability to Fields.
I'll file this one under---clickbait---because someone had a contractual obligation to write something. windycity, whose comment section never misses a chance to slam the Bears for any move they make, has nothing about his article. Tells you something when windycity doesn't even talk it.
Before anyone gets their underwear in a knot, this is a Chicago Bears message board. We always tear apart articles/posts (good or bad depending on if we agree or disagree with the premise) with mockery, exaggeration, sarcasm and simple horse-beating. We literally have nothing else to do at this point in the season. Remember when we fought over the Bears having 10 TEs on the 90 man roster before TC/PS? Remember when Borom was elevated above Jenkins in the minds of many people? Literally we have nothing else to do but mock articles, tweets, podcasts and each other.
I thought clickbait was Erik Lambert's middle name.
Kind of my point - CCS makes clickbait look legitimate.
No one over at ChiCitySports is an actual journalist (not that there are that many of those any more anyway, other in name only), and those guys in particular are truly just hacks with no real football chops or insight.
Seriously, on a board full of trolls and idiots, they have some of the dumbest takes, to the point where they actually make Sports Mockery seem credible in contrast.
+1,000,000 When I read their stuff, I do believe it is the worst crap I have seen on the Internet (LOL, that's saying something because there is a ton of brain-dead stuff in the Internet now regarding the Bears).
I just don't read anything from them anymore. It's just clickbait crap.
What is sad, is that the Sports Illustrated content has become almost as bad. Seriously. I used to value S.I. and even (back in the day) subscribed to the magazine. But holy cow it is pure crap stuff on the Bears now. Unreadable.
Well, Sports Illustrated went bankrupt, so their days are numbered now.
