Podcast Russ. Let's go.
How do we get out of this now?
Okay. Question number one. Can we just stop? Which young player will be in Chicago the longest? The newly paid and minted Cubs outfielder Pete Crow Armstrong, PCA, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, or Blackhawks center Connor Bedard?
Okay, so here's the thing. These are all careers, at least in baseball and hockey, where you can have a very long, lustrous life. The same can be said for quarterback if you take Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady into consideration when it comes to the length of success of a quarterback. Hell, let's even mention Joe Flacco in that because Joe's out here playing at 40 years old. You too can be into your 40s and be an NFL quarterback. That's what makes this a challenge. Then I factored in that Chris Chelios had a 26-year season or career in the NHL. 26 seasons he played. Maybe Chris Chelios is the extreme. Chelios is usually the extreme when it comes to career length. But that said, could that be Conor Bedard's length of time in his career in this economy?
I still think it's probably going to be. So I do think that because of that, maybe Conor Bedard has the longest actual career. The only question is, will it be in Chicago the entire time? Because you see where Patrick Kane went off and went to. So I think I'm going to go with, despite all of that, I'm going to say it's probably if things go right. And given how the Bears never find quarterbacks, I think it's still probably Caleb Williams.
I like this question a lot. I think if you're thinking about who the process of elimination, who are the two longest just because of how long careers go in their individual sports, the answer is probably Bedard or Caleb Williams.
Which young player will be in Chicago the longest?
And you mentioned Patrick Kane. He just left Chicago three years ago and he was with the Hawks for like 15 years. It's a long time, right? I think the thing with Caleb though, if you have a quarterback in the NFL that you like, who is talented, sometimes it's not even about them being a top three quarterback in the NFL. If you believe that you have a guy that is an above average quarterback, you're going to lock that guy in. Jay Cutler, who at the time, I think people like him a lot more now than they did when he was playing for the Bears. He played for eight seasons in Chicago, girls. And that was he had three seasons in Denver before that. So my gut says Caleb Williams will be the longest of those three names in Chicago.
Yeah, because the NHL salary cap is so, maybe it changes during the course of Conor Bedard's career, but maybe I, you know, sprout scales and fly. Because I think the two are about as likely. Like when you're a star in the NHL, there's a good chance you're not going to play for your respective team your entire career.
controversial answer i'm going to say pca because as of right this second he is the only one of those three that we know for a fact he's locked in that is locked in and now we know wants to be here long term i'm pretty sure caleb williams wants to be the quarterback of the bears for the next 10 to 15 years i think but we don't know that for a fact. We know that things can sometimes be a little bit wobbly in Caleb Williams' camp and how much influence his dad might have when contract time comes along. You can't just all of a sudden turn your back on what is going on with his family and the people that represent him. We don't actually know what caleb's desires are or who will influence him i don't want to scare people but i i because i would like him to be here for the next you know five to ten years as well but and then you know with with conor bedart same thing same thing i think he likes chicago i think he wants to be here but we just don't know that for a fact we do know for a fact now that pca likes chicago and wants to be here long term
