The Green Bay Aaron Rodgers are not looking to hot..... a lot of Packer fans around me have already stopped watching, shows how loyal of fans they are..... This is a lot of fun watching.

They are going to add several void years to Rodgers deal, so I am sure this year's hit could go as low as the mid-30s which will put them closer to $30M over. Preston Smith would save $12M, Cobb would save $6.7M, Lowry $4M, and Jenkins $4M, that's $26.7M right there. Then they will restructure a few more to free enough for a few min FA vets and the rookie pool, but that's it. They will definitely be going into this season with a worse team unless they somehow strike gold with a few of their draft picks.
Z Smith looks like a cut option. I just don't see how the Packers get better than last years squad with having to subtract to get under the cap.

I liked Chris Olave, that's pretty obvious but I thought Alex Pierce and Christian Watson were pretty impressive. Both shouted be there at 39.
With Watson running a 4.3 do you guys think his 2nd to 3rd round projection will hold true. Playing in 1AA could help with him not moving into the 1st. I just see 6'4 and 4.3 speed with a 38 inch vert and think someone will take him in the 1st. His highlight reel looks impressive too.

with how bad the offense was i can't believe he would get an OC shot.

I don't know what to make of him. The Giants WRs were terrible last year and Golladay was one of the worst. WR Coach has to shoulder some of the blame for that. Hopefully he is better than Furrey.
Jake Fromm and Mike Glennon started 9 games at QB. Their stats are absolutely terrible. Daniel Jones the other 11, his stats were better but still not good. So i ask is it the QB, the WR's or the WR coach?

Allan Williams = DC
Dave Borgonzi = LB
Chris Morgan = Oline

The only thing that would bother me is if he calls Fangio.
if fangio doesnt get the Jax HC job i bet he goes with Harbaugh
-
Im sorry to get negative but George screwed up. If Jim Harbaugh was available he was the only HC candidate in this years hiring cycle that was a NO brainer. George could have hired Jim and even if it failed no one could question why he hired Jim. If Eberflaus fails and Jim wins in MN George is going to look like the dumb ass we already know he is. Does George get a 4th chance at fixing the Bears?????
After the presser , I really Like Poles. Eberflaus didnt wow me but he didnt piss me off. If they win this post will never get brought back up.

Apparently, Pace avoided conflict at all costs. So he would never intervene with things like this. Nagy seems to be an idiot who was overwhelmed as a HC. That is now abundantly clear. How did he not have end-of-season interviews with his players, especially someone like ARob, in his situation, coming off the year he had? ARob had 1250 rec yds and 102 receptions when the leading QB only had 2055 passing yards who was coming up on free agency. Unbelievable.
You are right, the Mitch story now seems true, and I bet more stories will come out over time. It really is unbelievable. Eberflus and Poles are the polar opposites of Nagy and Pace.
I have way more faith in them to get it right than I did for Pace and Nagy. To me it was evident after the 2019 season. They road Fangio's defense and once he left they got exposed as frauds. They may get another job in the NFL with one of their buddies but I don't see them ever getting a job at the same level again.
It's wild that the team kept playing hard through this whole season. I thought it was indicator that Nagy had a good locker room culture built. It most likely was the Players and not Nagy. That will be huge moving forward.
-
If the Nagy blowing off Mitch story is true (which I did not believe at first) and this story is true then I 100% blame Nagy for this shit show even tho Pace did him no favors by being average at best. Now that aRob came out and told this story I am leaning towards the Mitch meeting blow off being true. At that point in Nagy's tenure he should have been doing anything and everything to try to get Mitch to succeed.

So a random name - I have no idea what he has been up to, but I kind of always liked him (maybe for no reason) - but what about Jay Gruden as an OC.
Interesting Idea. Does he have any connection to Eberhaus. Im going to look up if he ever helped develop a young QB.

OC = Getsy

Media really talked up Quinn and his ability to bring in a great coaching staff. He already has his guys lined up. I look forward to seeing who Eberhaus brings in and will compare to Quinns.
If they were going defensive minded HC I would have liked Quinn because he has experience as a HC where he won and went to a SB. His resume is also really good as well. He came up the ranks in Seattle. Having a new GM that has never been a GM I would have preferred to bring in Quinn because he has already been in the hot seat of the HC.
Poles picked Eberhaus... Let go Boys!!!! Bring us to the promised land. Not sure I can handle being back in this same situation 4 years from now.

Emery may not have even been that bad he just missed so bad on the HC that everything collapsed around him. Trestman was just so freaking bad.
Emery's mis on the HC and the way he treated 54 tells me everything i need to know. He is a dumb ass. Add on that Emery and Trestman asked Mel Tucker to run a defense he didnt know makes me want to puke again. The Bears have made me sick to my stomach way to many times. I pray Bill Polian has fixed that. lol

Bruce Arians took forever to get a gig because of that. It took Chuck Pagano getting cancer for him to get recognition.
reading the article you posted that went over the Bruce / Trestman Screw up really made me want to puke. Just think about where this franchise could be if Ballard was hired and not Emery. The Emery/ Trestman hiring put the Bears back 3 to 4 years at a minimum.

Supposedly these 3 candidates were Poles finalist. So highly likely one of these 3 is the head coach. I also got the impression from reports that Poles was allowed to talk to various candidates (other candidates might have as well) - so he had a pretty good idea getting into this point of who he wanted (which was these 3 - but he has full atanomy to expand the list if interested).
It did sound like Daboll's interview did not go well. Got the impression from some of the rumors that he came off too much as an OC and not someone who had / could really articulate the bigger picture around being a head coach. Could be because he was burried gameplanning for a playoff game, could be that this whole experience (interviewing for HC) is still pretty new to him relative to vast majority of candidates the Bears met with (many of whom had material #'s of interviews in previous cycles and/or are previous head coaches).
Leftwich was one name who might make his way back - sounded like he was pretty impressive but there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the staff that left him (at least initially) on the outside of the finalist pool.
IF these are the 3 finalists, I would say at this point Im a little underwhelmed. Maybe Daboll isn't a polished candidate yet, that would suck if we passed on him and he goes on to be a great HC. Ive interviewed some guys that killed it in the interview and sucked donkey balls on the job and vice versa guys that were not great in the interview and studs on the job.
Out of these 3 i would rank them :
1. Quinn
2. Caldwell
3. Eberhaus

I do think, whether Poles believes in Fields or not, the HC he brings in has to be 100% in on Fields and developing a culture to maximize his success. Just like I think Poles has to do as much too (whether he buys into Fields as a sure thing or not - he has to build a team to maximize the chances for a young QB to succeed (knowing he can always flip in a new young QB if Fields doesn't end up being the guy).
But whomever the HC is - has to be 110% in. Everything they do has to be around making the most out of Fields. Not jamming some other offense or something else around him. It has to be about building the right unit for Justin Fields (and the Bears) to excel. While Caldwell doesn't excite me - I genuinely believes he has a passion to coach Fields and it sounds like he has spent a lot of time around a vision for designing an offense built around him. I still think I would love Daboll and just hope quietly Daboll has that same passion but didn't want to overplay that hand knowing that with uncertainty when he first interviewed with Bears - he had to keep his true enthusiasm close to the vest - because he knows he has a good fall back option with the Giants.
I really want to read that Poles met with Daboll. Just seems crazy to hire a HC when you have a young QB like Fields, without meeting with the #1 offensive based candidate out there..and I would probably say the same about Leftwich.
The Bears have had 2 attempts at developing an offense around two potential QB's. Jay Cutler and Mitch Trubisky. Jay, I feel they failed miserably. Mitch they did a better job but still I feel they did not put him into the best situation to succeed.
Just look at Allen and Mahomes. What do they have around them? 1st = Great Coaching, 2nd = solid Oline and 3 = Pass Catching Weapons. Not just 1 WR but multiple weapons.
Poles and the new coach MUST build an offense around Justin Fields. If Fields does not pan out, you hopefully can draft the right QB or sign a Vet to plug and play.

I'll be disappointed if I don't see Poles add his guys to the list. I'm sure he must have candidates for the position of HC in mind beyond these three. Anyone interviewing for the position of GM would have an idea of who he'd want to hire.
Agreed 100%.... IF he demanded picking his own HC I hope they didn't say it had to be from the 3 Finalist they selected. Its safe to assume that if he picks from the 3 that is what was agreed upon. IF he has 100% free rein to pick whoever he wants then we would for sure see at least one or 2 other guys interviewed.

I live just outside of Indy and have seen a lot of Polian. He's brilliant. The fact that he's been on the payroll since late October let me know that he has a lot of control. Otherwise, he would have cut bait and left those clowns on the boat.
he's in the HOF for a reason. I pray he worked his magic here in Chicago. Now we need Poles to hire the right guy and start building a KC style Offense. Speed, speed and more speed.

Yes and yes. I never thought Polian would do that, as he is the consummate professional. We also know now that Poles hired based on the contingency that he would hire HIS own coach. In Polian I trust!
I love that that Poles demanded to hire his own HC. GET TED THE freak OUT OF THE ROOM. Im sorry I ever questioned Bill Polian. lololol
Every tweet about Poles says he's a great hire.
-
If Poles wants to secure his job for the next 10 years he will get him to come to the Bears....that is if Sean isnt retiring.
On espn 1000 this morning Kap said Payton told Pace to NOT take the Bears job, they are a shitty org. Hes not wrong. lol

Da Bear Blog on twitter says Pole will interview Caldwell, Eberhaus and Quinn. Not sure if the list gets longer than that. I wouldnt mind seeing him bring in some other coaches to interview as well. Would like to see where his head is at.

And for the record - Poles was hired and he did not come from the Bills or Colts, Polian was interested in finding best fit for Bears and it was pretty evident by how many people they interviewed that they took an exhaustive approach to things.
This shows it wasn't "hire my guy". I like it. I also like who he learned from. John Dorsey knows talent.
Is Poles getting too much credit/not enough blame?

Poles made the hard choice to start a full rebuild. In the NFL most try to win quick because its a win now league. The easy part was getting rid of the older payers and setting up the cap to be very beneficial moving fwd.
Poles should get a ton of credit for choosing what looks like the right coaching staff. Playing with about 100 million of Dead cap space the Bears have been in every game this season. I think we have a great staff, still a little early to tell but they have impressed me with what they are doing with the roster they have.
Where I think Poles has failed = Justin Fields is the most important piece of the future, he could have done waaaaaay more to help in the development of Fields this season. Everyone knew Oline was a huge issue, he attempted to get Bates from Buf (they stopped it) he should have had other plans once that failed. A young QB needs time in the pocket to get comfortable, its well documented how fast the defense is getting to Fields and how often. This can be very bad for the development of Fields.
WR - another area that everyone knew was a very weak spot on the roster. Would have liked Pickens in the 2nd, instead he took Brisker who looks to be a good player. Checking next years FA class and Draft class it looks to be short on WR's.... the reason he traded for Claypool. Next years FA class looks to have some good Safety's but we are set at Safety because we took Brisker......
By going full rebuild Poles will either succeed on his terms or fail on his own terms.... He wont be able to blame anyone else. This next offseason should be an entertaining one.
