Rude tbh. Guy thinks he's Popovich, except more aggressive toward women. Learn how to answer these standard dumbass questions, like chill out bro.

badly missed another check down throw to the sidelines, a couple more sail throws downfield, reverting to too many cross-body hero ball lasers while heading OB...and that INT was a pretty bad decision
he seems to be scrambling nearly as much w/o getting caught this season

I think he heard “you need to change what you’re doing” instead of “Do you need to change what you’re doing”
I had to replay it back myself because I thought she was giving a suggestion and not asking a question.

Simply funny. Hit the rude guy with some snark. Our man has like 4 games under his belt and his "offensive wizardry" seemingly doesn't exist. Show some humility. It's a sideline reporter, they say stupid things, I don't think he's ever had to talk to one.

The run game is beyond awful and is holding back everything else considerably.
Letting David Montgomery walk for a 3yr/$18m deal and turning right around and giving Swift a 3/24 deal has been a disaster.

and yes, it's from a "math perspective." the expected value of the trade works out in the favor of the bears. if you're bad at evaluating draft talent, you just take carter. but no nfl gm thinks they're bad at drafting

I think it's the reverse. If you're good at evaluating talent, it's way more likely to be worth it to trade up than if you are bad at evaluating talent. If you are bad, you always do the math. But in this case, the talent gap was obvious and enormous which is something that I think is rarely true, and while I generally go with the math because I think people aren't as good at drafting as they think and luck plays a much bigger factor than you can quantify, this was an obvious exception, because this guy was a top 3 talent that fell because people are really stupid.
The evaluation of his character over a drag racing car accident was stupid, because the motive behind this was "fun" and the actions were just really stupid, but the outcome was so bad that it seems overwhelmingly likely he'd learn his lesson. It wasn't like choking his coach or beating up his girlfriend, where the problem came from uncontrollable anger or refusal to listen to people or something that might actual scale into a real problem.

-The drag racing
-Lying about it to the cops
-His coaches came and were saying very negative stuff about him leading up to the draft
-He couldn’t finish his draft workout because he was fat and out of shape
All of this right before the biggest job interviews of his life.

Most of this is pretty easily explained by an unprecedentedly negative outcome due to the car crash, and people overreacting to something that has very little chance to have negative future behavioral consequences.
The reality is that Carter looked like a top 3 talent, was a top 3 talent, and we passed on him to get a mediocre lineman. If you want to say in the moment that makes sense because of the above, it's not for me to convince you to have a different risk tolerance. I thought the concerns were largely due to a miscategorization of risk.
Impossible to say whether those concerns were due to miscategorization or simply concerns that didn't materialize because you just never know what will or won't happen in the future. Regardless of whether this was a true human psychological misinformation arbitrage opportunity or not, the reality is that Jalen Carter was by far the better selection and overwhelmingly the more talented player, and has worked out amazingly, and we'd have been dramatically better off having selected him.
I thought that was obvious at the time, but I'm not a football expert, and I could just as easily be correct due to dumb luck or happenstance, but I felt convicted on the idea that people were miscategorizing this risk, and wish we had taken him.

They want a reaction from coaches. That's why they interview them in those situations. Johnson was hot after the Bears played a terrible half of football. He gave her a hot reaction. She should be able to handle that.
