Yeah, JSN warned us during his CHGO interview. That was a red flag then and still is today for Waldron. Now it seems like every position group is finally being coached right. I still find it wild that Eric Bieniemy is the RB Coach, Randle El the WR Coach, and Al Harris is the DB coach all the while having Dennis Allen as the DC and Ben Johnson as the HC/Play Caller. It doesn't feel real. We have been so beaten down by always getting the wrong HC, or a bad OC, etc, etc.

Goff had 3,700 passing yards to WRs and TEs, and his group was St. Brown, Williams, LaPorta, Patrick, Raymond, and Wright, so your 3,550 to WR/TEs checks out. I was a little extra optimistic and had him throwing for 4K to WR/TEs and about 450 to everyone else. My thinking was the top 6 pass catchers are so good, that there is almost no point to target anyone else. However, I am probably downplaying a guy like Zaccheaus, who has had 500 receiving yards in 2 out of the last 3 seasons. So that would also contribute into that 4K to WR/TEs.

If Burden gets playing time, it could make it hard to feed so many mouths. This is still my prediction, from April: My total guess, assuming LT isnt a total disaster, and Caleb isnt running for his life: Caleb Williams 4,050 yards passing DJ Moore 800 yds receiving Rome Odunze 1,050 yds receiving Luther Burden 600 yds receiving Colston Loveland 750 yds receiving Cole Kmet 350 yds receiving HBs 500 yds receiving

Yeah Flus sucks! Something that's also lost in all this is that apparently it was Caleb's Dad who told the ESPN writer that Caleb told him that - thats a 3 man chain of telephone now. Who knows exactly what the nature of Caleb's complaint was? One thing we can be sure of is that the Bears offensive staff SUCKED at preparing the team, so whatever it is that Caleb actually said to his dad, it was probably true.

I have seen some updated projections with Moore and Odunze both hitting 1K receiving yards. I think this has a great shot at happening.

Flus went on a Podcast recently and answered some questions related to this story. People seem to be crossing streams. Caleb never said he wasn't coach, or that they never watched film together. I still think this is a non-story that the media tried to make a thing in support of the book coming out. However, Cowherd did have a good nugget of info that I forgot about, that Flus was 0-18 on the road on Sundays as a HC. I double checked and he is correct. Flus had a win on MNF in 22 as his only road win, then doubled that to 2 road wins in 2023, but one was on TNF and the other MNF. Then he had zero road wins last year, and the Bears actually got a Sunday road win in Week 18 in GB, but Flus was long gone when that happened lol.

This is my opinion, so you can stop confusing my comments by injecting what you say I do. I THINK WE HAVE ADDED GREAT COACHING, BUILT UP THE ROSTER AND HAVE A QB THAT TAKES OFF THIS YEAR UNDER BJs PLAY CALLING. I HAVE NEVER SAID SB, OR PERFECT ROSTER, ALL THE CRAP YOU SAY I DO. I AM OPTIMISTIC THAT WE COULD HAVE A WINNING SEASON. (10 TO 12), I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH TALENT AT RB, LT, AND DE TO GET US THRU THE SEASON. NOT CLAIMING DAYO OR BOOKER BECOMES 15 SACK GUYs. OZZY OR KIRAN IS PRO BOWL MATERIAL I DONT THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL PROS AT EVERY POSITION TO BE GOOD THIS YEAR.

totally agree, or yell at Cleveland and Houston for making those deals.

Correct, and this is why I say it will expand further down the draft board each year. You cannot hate on the player for trying to guarantee his income since the threshold was broken. The Bears have contracts drawn for multiple instances. They have time to let the dominoes fall. If you want to be mad, yell at Seattle since they are next in the order.

Look I cant help it if you dont make sense and dont even remember what you said a day earlier. Youre the one calling out people for not being "optimistic" and saying that we need to form an opinion right now. That was you. Also, one of the funniest things in this thread is in your previous post you said that you werent saying the roster was perfect while you simultaneously said that me calling that silly was disrespecting your opinion LOL You have a long history of lecturing us all on how we need to love every current player and coach. From Leno and Fields to Eberflus and last years offensive line, you call anyone who says they arent good enough a hater or a pessimist. It's like we are insulting your family or something. And as you stack up the losses, the times it turns out you were totally wrong over and over, you just keep going. I said wed have 4 new starters on the OL this year, and you were all over me about that. You got all butthurt that I said Kmet is on the bubble. If all you want is sunshine and rainbows, there are plenty of boards for that. The thing I really like about this board is that pretty much everyone is smart, and knows the rhythm of the NFL year, and what makes good football. I've learned lots from a bunch of members here, recently and over the years. And you are the one who omits qualifiers like "I think" and "probably" more than anyone. And Ive called you out on it, so you come back trying to find instances where I might have missed one. Youre a "right fighter" but your arguments are usually wrong. So that makes you annoying. Anyway, it doesnt matter. You'll just have to deal with reality as it comes like the rest of us.

Your response is typical PHX, on to the nex subject.

I can see Burden being an issue about this, but i suspect Trapilo wants that starting job more. And I cant really predict Turner.

Wonderful...😤

LOL ooooh boy. If I missed writing "I think" once then my DEEPEST apologies. Coming from you tho, it's a joke. No matter what you say, we will see what we have when the pads come on. Looking forward to that.

the first two got fully guaranteed contracts for the first time, so #3 wants it too, and it will fall all the way down the list until someone signs without one, and no player wants to be the "ah*le" that ruined it for everyone, so everyone is stuck waiting. But yes, the arrival of training camp will loosen some.

My problem is, the first two are signed. It should fall like dominoes from there. Either the Seahawks or the players agent are being assholes...

This will be a continuing issue as I see it spreading into the 3rd round next year. I dont have a problem with it until our players start missing training camp.

Freaking ridiculous! These players should be signed already. It's cookie cutter stuff.

This the current list of 2nd rounders that have signed and not signed. There will be a rush when training camps start. I dont see ours being early. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/draft/_/year/2025/round/2/sort/pick

I understand the lack of commitment without more proof. IF you were refering to me, I have never said SB run. I too need to see us play bad to lower my expections instead of prove weaknesses have been filled. You need to read my posts, I have never said we are great, I think we are capable of being really good, but you keep putting words in my mouth, rooting for a team and notice positive changes is not fan crap. I am optimisic and see positive changes for the good, you always try to say I say things in extremes, perfect roster, SB contender, I never have. This is my opinion, so you can stop confusing my comments by injecting what you say I do. I THINK WE HAVE ADDED GREAT COACHING, BUILT UP THE ROSTER AND HAVE A QB THAT TAKES OFF THIS YEAR UNDER BJs PLAY CALLING. I HAVE NEVER SAID SB, OR PERFECT ROSTER, ALL THE CRAP YOU SAY I DO.

OZZY OR KIRAN IS PRO BOWL MATERIAL I DONT THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL PROS AT EVERY POSITION TO BE GOOD THIS YEAR. I love when you tell other people you respect their opinions when you disagree and then turn around and say other opinions are just silly. (This is the month of podcast hype, where people say things like "the roster is complete" and that's just silly.) That is just some guys opinion.

Stroud and the Texans underwhelmed last year. They were 10-7 in the worst division in football. Outside of the division, they were 5-6. They relied solely on their defense to win games.

Yeah, it's one thing to have a 70-yd scoring drive, but TDs, that's wild, and like you said, without a mobile QB.
