Brady only hit 4K once in his first 7 seasons. Caleb will hit it, and I am sure he will consistently hit it, but if he doesn't, I don't think it is the biggest deal. There are a lot of bad QBs that have hit 4K, so that alone is not the measure of success (Matt Schaub, Brad Johnson, Trent Green, Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, Josh Freeman, Jon Kitna). Notable QBs in top 50 all-time: Elway's best season: 4,030 Passing Yards Esiason's best season: 3,959 Passing Yards Montana's best season: 3,944 Passing Yards McNabb's best season: 3,916 Passing Yards Aikman's best season: 3,445 Passing Yards I just hope he hits it, gets 270+ so we can finally move onto other discussions.

I sent you a DM in reference to payout.

The point isn’t what HoF QBs have done in domed stadiums. People saying 17 games makes it easy for Caleb to hit 4k is just a back handed insult by implying that almost any QB could do that. Yet nobody ever has. Maybe it does take a special QB to hit that mark while playing half the season in windy Soldier Field? It certainly takes someone with a strong arm. I’m confident Caleb will rewrite the Bears record books and exceed 4000 multiple times in his career. Even if Caleb becomes as good as Brees I doubt we’ll see the 5000 yard threshold ever met while playing at Soldier Field.

Hicks was a FA signing and we sure could use another like him.

In another thread you said our WRs are playing well because our Oline is finally good. I agree that is part of it. Talent is still needed at WR but if you give them more time to run deeper routes you naturally pull the defense apart. Add in a play caller who knows how to put defenders in a bind and aQB who can throw to all levels of the field. if this keeps up we’re more likely to help low level WRs get good contracts when they leave in FA versus needing elite FA WR talent.

Nice!

It is so funny how all 3 of the other fanbases are acting towards the Bears this year.

I'm worried about the inevitable. We will see several outstanding position coaches offered promotions to join a newly appointed HC this offseason—the price a good team pays every year. I strongly expect Harris to be offered a DC position. I'd hate to see him leave.

Good pull! 🏈💪

If I remember correctly, many Detroit fans said they'd be better off with BJ leaving the team, because their HC was responsible for their offensive success, not Johnson. 🤣

There are a bunch of these lol:

I could've sworn we were talking about him in the 2nd round and the Bears had 2x 2nd rounders, but went DB x2.

I wanted Raimann earlier than he was drafted.

Crazy to think that the Bears could've had the best record in the NFL if games were called evenly.

Definitely, especially with an in-season injury.

There are 4 teams that have a positive EPA/P of +0.02 or greater on offense and -0.02 on defense. Surprisingly, the Bears are one of them (for how bad the defense has been lately): LAR, NE, BUF, and CHI. DEN would be the 5th but are only +0.01 on offense. Every other team either has a negative offense or defense that are in the playoffs. What does all of that mean? Those are the 4 most consistent teams and are most likely to progress thru the playoffs because probabilities are stronger in the playoffs. Home field advantage goes up 10% in the playoffs, meaning home teams win 10% more than they do in the regular season. LAR @ CHI and BUF @ NE for the Conference Championships would not be surprising at all.

Honestly, the way we play, it'll be a fight till the end with any team we go up against. I'll take home field and roll up my sleeves...

I think Laporte getting injured hurt them a lot. A few OL are different this year but BJ being gone is a big hit.

Who would you prefer to face in the first game? GB, SF or LA? IMO the Packers are the weakest of those three. LA lost to Atlanta last night and looked beatable. I least would want to face SF that's running hot right now.

Ha ha! I just had to...

I expected Washington to drop, last year was super fluky. BAL is a weird team. They have an elite run for a few years, a down year, then are back at it. This was their down year. I expected KC to regress, they had no business being in the Super Bowl last year. I did not expect DET to miss the playoffs. I figured a few game regression. Th Ben Johnson effect was bigger than I thought.

I hope Poles moves away from the "traits" guys in the 3rd round and later. Go with the production and proven dudes, like Monangai. Poles just doesn't seem to do that very often in the middle of the draft. I still laugh at taking a punter in the 4th with Malik Mustapha, Bucky Irving, and Ray Davis on the board, all went within 6 picks. Zacch Pickens was the 1st pick in the 3rd round (after they selected Dexter). WIthin a few picks: Tank Dell, Byron Young, Tucker Kraft, Josh Downs, Diaby, Achane. Velus went before Abraham Lucas, Christian Harris, Bernhard Raimann, Dylan Parham, and Rachaad White. I clearly remember mocks with Lucas and Raimann on them for the Bears.

Over 2,220 Yards from Scrimmage and 13 TDs from rookies (Loveland, Burden, Walker).

The Bears probably need a better DL Coach. They all seem slow off the ball, outside of Booker. Something is fundamentally wrong. Dexter has not improved, and it seems like every game we are talking about either being gashed in the run game or not having any pressure.
