9) Chicago has an incredibly bright future going towards the upcoming season. While the team is already in a great space led by a young core who have good presence on both sides of the ball, there are a few small holes on the team that can be addressed that would help bring them towards that next level of becoming a top tier team like the Orange County Otters and Colorado Yeti always seem to be. The beauty of Chicago is how well balanced the overall roster is, at every position there is at least one great player to lead the team. Quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback, you name it Chicago has a player there that is developing quickly and becoming a top tier player at that position. Youth is the greatest strength that the team has, with minimal amounts of players actually hitting regression the team is only going to trend upwards going forward. The biggest weakness that I would say with Chicago is the safety position. While neither player at the position is particularly bad, they do lag a bit behind the rest of the team in overall which could hurt the defense a little bit. Another issue in the safety regard is the upcoming retirement of Raphael d'Alcott, who will be missed dearly. D’Alcott was an up and coming safety for the team and losing him will create a hole at free safety that either needs to be addressed through the draft or through free agency. Center is another position with a giant hole in it, with only a bot there on the offensive line, and while it’s not a pressing need for long term success, it certainly couldn’t hurt to fix it with an actual player. Thankfully Chicago both has plentiful assets in both cap space and draft capital to fix those holes so going forward the teams outlook will be bright. Draft an offensive lineman from the draft or sign one in free agency, and then either look to the same means or look to the farm for the hole at free safety, and you’re looking at a Chicago team that’s poised to make a run at an Ultimus in Season 26. Bayley and Muford have taken incredibly smart and well measured steps to make sure the team is poised to be a contender for years to come, and with a handful of even more smart and simple moves the team will be contending with the likes of Orange Country and Colorado for seasons to come.

25) I think that the best idea for expanding the Pro Bowl skill contest would be to create a bunch of games that aren’t related to football to truly see how players stack up against each other in different sports to see who truly is the best athlete. Imagine watching a home run derby but instead of baseball players you have 300 pound incredibly jacked linemen swinging for the fences aiming for the longest home run possible, or you have the speedy running backs competing in a hardest shot contest against each other in the world of hockey. It would be a gateway to opening up combined all star games and other skills contests which would be mutually beneficial for all of the leagues that exist in the world. Alternatively there’s another way that could showcase the best skills contest, a test of mental toughness. I’d love to see a skills contest that’s basically a trivia game, quizzing the players on a variety of things related to sports or other generic knowledge pieces to see who the real cream of the crop are in terms of the intelligent superstars in the league, of course quarterbacks would be banned from this contest for having an unfair advantage but this could be great for the leagues overall health.

29) One of the most underappreciated players on the Chicago Butcher is our kicker, one Sam Sidekick. The most well known kickers in the league like Venus Powers or Silver Banana get all the recognition and it’s for a fair reason, they’re consistently the best kickers in the league and forefronts of the community. Sidekick isn’t as well known outside of the Chicago clubhouse but they’re such a prominent figure inside of it and make it that much more enjoyable for everyone on the team. Sidekick is always having friendly conversations with people and encouraging others to do their best and keeping spirits high whenever the team is feeling down. On the field, Sidekick is a solid contributor as well, scoring points whenever the offense sputters and can’t find the end zone, being a very reliable field goal kicker with a 93.3% accuracy on the season. Sidekick also serves as the teams primary punter, and contributes incredibly well in that regard. Finishing second in the league in total punting yards, and constantly giving the team’s defense good field positioning helped get the team to the 8-8 record that they worked incredibly hard to earn, and without Sidekick that quest would have been even harder to achieve.
