  2. Chicago media is a disease and is the real constant presence as to why the bears can never develop a franchise qb

  3. I think I know what happened. Some veterans were hungry and said they wanted some Tyson chicken nuggets and Bagels.

  4. I saw some people say it was probably Bagent’s dad who “leaked’ that scoop…wouldn’t doubt it tbh

  6. Since Bagent has been here, his dad has created unnecessary drama leaking nonsense to ESPN radio personalities who are not journalists. He did it last year (same deal, players wanted Bagent over Fields; Getsy wanted Bagent over Fields), and he did it again this year (veterans want Bagent over Caleb).

    This time, Silvy was sloppy and unintentionally revealed his source was Bagent’s dad. The day before his tweet he said Bagent’s dad had “interesting things to say” but didn’t share it immediately. Then he tweeted the breaking news that everyone blamed DJ Moore for.

    The radio guys don’t hide their relationship with Bagent’s dad. This isn’t a new thing. It’s unfortunate that they report it despite it being proven BS every time. And, if he is the source of the leak, the Bears need to cut that out now. Bagent is as replaceable as it gets. If his dad is going to keep sowing discord with your franchise rookie QB, cut him.

    Oh, and, so much for all the DJM hate in that thread. People were so quick to blame guys with zero proof. Good work.

  9. I’ve said this on here several times. The “source” was bagents dad. Stumping for his kid to the press. The fact that Waddle and Silvy ran with this is laughable.

  11. This is what i heard as well. Like there’s no one that would have done it. Wonder who Silvy got this “info” from…

  12. Fuck Silvy. He claims to care about this team. He goes out on his stupid little tire swing after every loss and bemoans how bad he feels. Then he turns around and tweets an unsubstantiaed rumor with national level virality about his struggling rookie quarterback. He cares more about his clicks than he does the Bears. As I said at the beginning, FUCK Silvy.

  14. Silverman is a lying POS. Disney should shut down ESPN1000 for allowing a lying sack of worthlessness to have his voice be heard.

  15. If this is the case, and I think it is, then Eberflus’ wishy-washy answer about Caleb starting looks so unfathomably bad.

    Shut that shit down. Stand by your players. Give them a “Rex is our quarterback.”

    That’s the difference between a guy like Eberflus, who **acts** like he’s a player’s coach, and a guy like Lovie, who **is** a player’s coach.

  17. Never believed that story anyway since the offense was worse with Bagent than with Fields last season.

  18. I figured it was bullshit…some in the media want the bears to be a shitshow (more than they already are) so bad… they always do these “piling on” stories…

  21. So many people just ready to turn on DJ Moore and say it was him lol. These 3 weeks have been so annoying as a fan

  22. I know media creates narratives to push engagement, but even this “leak” was egregious. I can’t believe people actually were believing this.

  25. Bagent seems like a chill dude but his dad will cost a job at this rate , he did this shit last season

  26. Plot twist, it was Nate Davis who went to Flus and Poles, and it was Nate Davis who leaked it. Finally got what he wanted and that was to get cut from the team this morning.

  27. Didn’t believe that for a second. No way players would want the highest drafted rookie quarterback benched. It’s imperative that Williams is out there the whole season, for better or worse.

  29. wasnt there a video in september of DJ walking by bagent after a missed play and mouthing something like, dog i need you. not saying DJ is one of them, but doesnt seem impossible

  30. Is he in on every meeting between every player in the offense and the coaches? It could have happened without him knowing.

  34. I hate how all these dipshits just ran with “the team wants Bagent over Williams”. That was clear bullshit. I like Bagent but if his dad’s gonna be a problem he can grfo.

  35. i really wish they would put bagent in. we are a bad tackle in a meaningless game away from ending his season with an injury. we wouldnt want our qb out there down 40 at the start of the 4th quarter because of injury risk, why would we want him out there with this oline and coaching staff?

    and not saying id want to see bagent get hurt, for yo sickos that take it that way….simply that you need to preserve the health both physically and mentally of your future.

  36. Haha just as I called out. All the dumbasses who thought, “it’s so obviously DJ blah blah blah”. At least act intelligent
