The point I made ( it's not the same old Bears) that you claim because he stuck with Flus and may keep Fields, that that is mediocrity. He will make the best choice for the future and it might be picks and Justin. I think we win with either choice but you don't allow that that is possible unless we draft a high pick QB. So if he gets rid of Fields and drafts Williams then it fails? Your answer to that? If Justin plays well somewhere else? Neither of us know how it turns out , I am allowing all options to work out.

Since Poles took over, he's not grouped in the past, he clearly has a different vision than past regimes. It may end up having the same results but not taking the same path. The last regime had an offensive coach, a top 2 picked QB and we only got one good year out of it. Now many fans want to do the same thing that got everyone fired, new coach, new QB ( top pick). BUT now everyone says repeating the past will have new results and claim it's different. What's different is Poles sticking with a coach he thinks will be successful and ( maybe) allowing a QB to fully develop instead repeatedly continuing the cycle of our past. I'll trust him to make the right decisions whether it's Williams or Fields, or a surprise pick. Poles fixed the cap hell and draft assets in 2 years and now people say he doesn't know what he's doing because he doesn't do what they want. I'm not one of them. He will do the right choice.

If it's obvious to the rest of the league, how are we going to get a great trade offer? I'm not disagreeing with you entirely, I'm suggesting that Poles may not have your opinion and values a bunch of draft capital And roll one more year with Justin. Also could draft a QB prospect.

Everything you stated is true but Poles is not building a team to just be competitive. No one thinks that way. He's doing things his way and it may not follow your plans

Your whole argument is based on Fields isn't good and can't get better. Poles may not have your opinion on Fields. He knows he still has to be a better passer but he may think with a better play caller and better weapons he can do that. He may think if his level is 10 th best QB in the league that he can win a SB with him. Several people have won SBs with non tier 1 QBs. SF may do that this year. He knows Mahomes type QBs are extremely rare. Andrew Luck, Joe Burrows, no one have proven to be that since Mahomes got drafted.

You stated that Poles already knew what he is going to do. I believe there is signs that learn towards that being true. Evaluation of this years QBs was done last year and throughout the season. Yes there's more information to obtain but the bulk of the process is tape. I think he knows who he likes and whether he is drafting a QB with the first pick. As I stated before, it's not Field's against Williams, the boat load of picks have to be figured in too. He may like Maye or Daniels , we just don't know. His strategy maybe trade back in the top 10 and grab McCarthy and still get a bunch of picks. There's a building process for the next few years with having 2= 1 st round picks for several years to come. I think he wants to build the team and worry about the QB next year and run with Fields. If Williams is the dude, he will take him. We will see.

There could be several good QBs in this draft but only one generational QB, Williams. If he ain't that guy the whole narrative changes on who to take or boat load of picks. Poles said he needed to be blown away, maybe someone is that. That's what the process is for.

This all you need to see to know about the future of the Bears.

With the top pick 25/75 With a different pick90/10

Is Malachi Corley playing in the Bowl? He's supposed to be a Deebo Samuel clone. Wouldn't that be a nice slot WR.

Ian Cunningham doesn't seem to be leaving either.

If that's the case, who do you trust to be accurate?

I think he's going in the second round, according to many of the so called experts.

The Bears hired Chris Beaty as their WR coach, he was DJ Moore's college coach.

Yesterday, I looked at every interview and read everything Poles have said. I get a huge impression he's going for the big haul on trading the first pick and running back with Fields. A few days ago , the Bears put out a team promotion video that was all Justin Fields. Does a team do that if they getting rid of him? Fields next 3 years of cost, 2024=6 mil, 2025=22 mil, 2026 franchise tag 32.4 mil as of now. That's 3 years of an average 20 mil a year. (The first pick in the draft will earn a 38 mil contract for 4 years, that rookie contract is guaranteed money) Fields contract would be 20 th on QB contracts list right now. Last time I looked that's cheap for a starting QB in the NFL these days. Money won't come into play if they keep Fields.

Stats are nice to look at, PFF is all about stats and no one on here trusts them. It's just one tool to measure with.

I meant free agents not our own free agents. I would transition tag JJ, 18.4 mil Resign Mooney on a 3 mil contract, you can always cut him later Sign AJ Espensa, DE from Buffalo that had 6 sacks in 1/3 of the snaps and played under Washington. 10 mil Sign Evan Brown/ OC, played under Waldron jn Seattle. 6 mil Sign Christian Wilkins/DT, Miami is in cap hell OTC has his value at 15 mil. Draft a center and pass rusher, WR and TE.

Do you resign Justin Jones?

First question, do you resign JJ at 21 mil a year or tag him with the transition tag at 18 mil for 1 year? If he signs somewhere else, you get a second round pick.

You get to resign 2 free agents from your team: You can sign one 20 mil free agent and 2= 10 mil free agents. Who do you sign?

Thank God you cleared that up, I can stop using critical thinking as a tool to address the Bears offseason.

Poles rebuilt the DB room and LBing core at a high level. Buffalo DL was successful so now Poles will address the DL this year with a great DL coach. I think he adds a couple of pieces to the DL and the defense will be top 5 going forward. Poles will work on the OL and weapons to continue to remake the roster.

Campbell has a losing year, his first year, then went 1-7 and fans were hammering him the same way Flus got hammered this year. They finished 9-8_ where Flus was 7-10 of which should have been 10-7. Now Campbell should be coach of the year. This will be the year Flus needs to show he's a good coach. We will see how it plays out. I expect us to have a winning season.

I think grabbing Boyers and a WR later would be a better get as far as roster co struction.

As you stated, I think we expected an Urlacker type player of which he is not because of the money we have higher expectations. He is a good player 4 interceptions and 9 pass defenses is what we got him for. I think Poles wanted a bigger body when comparing him to Roquan Smith. We have an equal to Smith in TG Edwards by comparing stats, plus we got Stevenson with the draft pick in the trade. Overall we have a better situation in choosing Edmunds over Smith.
