Swift is not a top 10 RB type in the league but last time he played for BJ, he had 99-542-5 and 48 rec-389-3. I also think we are discounting any effect Eric Bieniemy may have had in the RB room. I think Swift will be just fine for our run game. The key to the game will be the game calling of BJ vs the DC . BJ has did well against Brian Flores.

I didnt bother reading your post after the jerk statement. It's actually very simply, neither you nor me have any personal contacts in the Bears organization so when we say something, its ALWAYS an opinion. I have been posting on here since 2009 and up until you started the ( I dont like the way you say something), I never really had anyone question the way I say things. Mongo did once but he doesnt bring it up every time I give an opinion. Once someone told me "some people play checkers and some people play chess". I now understand what he meant.

You voiced your opinion and I voiced mine but of course your butt hurts because of the way I word statements. You just never stop. By suggesting that we trade DJ or before you said Kmet, you appear to be in BJs head with those statements. Poles is the GM but clearly BJ influenced the draft by the Loveland and Burden picks. Do you think his idea was lets draft these players so we can get rid of assets? He wants more weapons and has mentioned that in several interviews. Offensive minded coaches aren't even thinking about getting rid of weapons in his first year. The way Poles handed out contracts , everything is coming due when its time Caleb needs a contract. As far as future roster building , I think its thru the draft and cheap FA pickups. When you want to trade for huge contracts, you would have to dump assets, and they arent doing that . (IMO) You are going to say next year is different but this year is not a SB run, next year could be and no one is going to do that by dumping assets. You are assuming LT and pass rusher are a problem and you may be right, but they are going to let it play out and go from there. Neither of us know what will happen next year but we both have opinions.

This guy makes some good points. Good video

Burden will eventual replace BJ but it wont be this year and if he plays well next year either. BJ isnt ready to dumb assets when he is trying to get this offense up and running. 2027 is a different story,. You acquire all these assets and then start dumbing them right away? Offensive coaches want weapons that's why we drafted Luther and Loveland.

Anyone ever listen to Steve Rosenbloom on the SCORE on Saturdays usually but on today. Im an optimist and it is the opposite of positive in the name of being realistic. I get critizms with a lot of things up in the air but there has been lots of positive moves this year and arrow is pointed up. I can only stomach him for 5 minutes and today his was talking about Bagent should start over Caleb because he performed so well in the preseason. He's a total debag.

Bearswire had a story showing what national press picked for our record this year. Adam Rank who works for ESPN or NFL.net picked 11-6 and some other guy pick 10-7 and the rest picked 7-10, 7-10, 7-10, 7-10, 8-9, 8-9 . The national guys always blow us off.

I dont remember ESPN ever viewing the Bears in a favorable light.

I definitely think he could still play LT and think it was more of a mental rep to play him at RT where he is more comfortable to boost his confidence. Usually stories are developed a week before they post them. I think it is pretty current in a time frame. BJ is very demanding and why all of this is still up in the air.

This video has a little different take on the Parsons trade. He talks about roster cost and the results of paying big contracts and how it affects teams winning SBs. Its 26 minutes long but has a very interesting take on the trade.

Caleb is obvious to having the keys to the car but from the progress I have seen with working with BJ , his floor , to me , has raised quite a bit. We base so much on his rookie year with a lousy coaching system and lack of accountability. He got in to bad habits. He's got a big arm, smart, moves well. He works hard and appears to love the game. Has all the signs of a top 5 type QB. Goff was a good QB but performed top level under BJ. He picked the Bears because of Caleb and I trust his judgement. This is just the beginning, it gets much better and have very few doubts it blows up. We are Bear fans and has a poor team trust on doing the right decisions. This year is different. As far as having a LT , of course we dont know yet but have 3 options after the mediocre Braxton is done here. A rookie, 2nd year player, and rising UDFA. It would be easier if we just drafted a top 10 LT but that is no guarantee for success either and didnt do that. Eagles won the SB last year with a 7th round pick at LT. I think we have a coaching staff now that can develop prospects but that isnt going to be instant mash potatoes. We need to let this play out. Pass rush questions? The Eagles won a SB last year with no stud pass rushers. What they had was several average ones that the DC used to be successful. 8 sacks Was the most anyone had. We have a new DC in Dennis Allen who has a reputation of being aggressive. I think the coaches will raise the level of success. Sweat had a good first year with 12.5 sacks, last year he had a bunch of nagging injuries and only had 5.5 sacks. Which one will we get this year? That will be the key to our pass rushing wows but I trust DA to use him wisely.

I think the biggest question for me before the season starts is: Is Jaylon Johnson going to play and can he be up to speed day 1? I know there are questions at other positions but until we see our players preform, Im going to wait and make those judgements later. Because we are playing Jefferson our first game, I think this matters.

Newman had quite a few snaps against Jones and held his own. He will be the next starter after one of two vets finish their career. Both guards can be moved on from after two yrs the way the contracts are constructed.

Thank you so much for not going to your name calling that you normally go to when we get to this point in a discussion.

My point is, you just can't give your opinion, you have to shove it down people's throats when they don't agree with you. In this thread, you addressed everyone that didn't agree with you. You have every right to beat a subject to death, it's just annoying. Again you get things wrong when you try to put words in my mouth. I was only interested in bringing Jenkins back if he signed a team friendly deal and to bring someone in to compete with him . You paint it like I was president of his fan club. I don't remember the Leno conversation but, you get everything else wrong and I'm sure that is too. You just can't state your opinion and say I disagree, you have to type a novel on why you're right and everyone else is wrong.

I heard his name mentioned but unfortunately it was for a penalty.

Maybe but I heard Jones request a DT in one press conference,so not sure he would have taken an injured CB. I'm sure Poles would have did a better money contract. The reality of it is we didn't trade for him, just like we didn't draft the LT you wanted either. Now for my cheerleading, I hope we have a pass rush and that one of the LTs play well enough to keep the job all year. Like you said early in the preseason, I will wait to watch the team on the field before I judge.

Probably right, since it never happened , any guess could be right.

wow, he was huge then

I have been looking at a lot of GB fan forums like ours and the ones that like it think Jorden Love is a top 10 QB. A lot of them are leery of it screwing the team up next year and beyond. About like the Bear fans reaction to it. 50% think its bigtime for GB and 50% thinks its a problem.

You're entitled to your opinion and he is a great player, and we dont have a good pass rush. Here is his contract. Look at 2028 https://overthecap.com/player/micah-parsons/9476
