I think you might be right! What a great time to be a Bears fan. I think I have to buy Dazn

I am excited with a bit of PTSD anxiety. It really seems we are trending up and have a chance to get a team changing QB. It’s hard to forget the last years and disappointments, but I feel pretty confident.

There we go. A perfect summary of what has been obvious for weeks. Thank you Adam, as usual priceless statistics and analysis. Sadly, rebels without a cause will continue to pollute the airways with idiocy.

Good list, not sure about Jenkins with the injuries. Definitely a much better team post Poles.

Interesting read of overall success of quarterback number one picks. Looks to me like a pretty high success rate. Hard to bend these stats really, but arguments could be had around how success is measured. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2024/4/3/24118088/examining-the-history-of-quarterbacks-nfl-draft-cam-newton-caleb-williams-andrew-luck-joe-burrow

I feel exactly the same way. That family are poor owners, if any family could screw up a good thing it’s them. Let’s hope they don’t get too involved.

Haha, definitely ok with me, I misunderstood the RG3 comment. I am feeling more positive than I have in years, I hope history won’t come along and slap me back to depression.

I am really surprised at the stance you seem to be taking, anti-everything the Bears do and what most think is the correct path. Enjoy being a rebel? Just for the sake of it? I am really looking forward to getting the draft done and football starting. It’s already clear what the league thought of Fields and soon we will know who the Bears have used their number one pick for. I am very excited and optimistic, for the first time in a long time I think we can win games.

Opinions based on nothing are not much use to anyone. I have no interest in reading endless opinions based on nothing tangible. Kind of like the argument about keeping JF in general. We could only get a sixth round pick for him and we are still debating his worth? Isn’t it glaringly obvious what his worth is now?

Disappointing outcome given earlier projections of value, but very clear now what the league thinks Fields value is.

I wish that there was more accountability around spouting statistics which is so obviously inaccurate and manipulative that the only right description of same is “verbal diarrhoea “. Let this forum be better than the social media norm.

Perfect example of very poor grasp of mathematics and statistics, as Mongo points out. Complete crap. The ignore option is again becoming a great option. Can we not try to be accurate?

That would be the ultimate irony, back with the guy that many JF fans blamed for his failures, lol. That’s rich

He could have given more generic responses, that is true. I am not completely convinced he is doing anything more than being a team guy but I see your point. More importantly though, I don’t want DJ Moore to be making this decision. I will leave him to catching passes and leave the decision making to the management.

The thing is about DJ’s comments, is that just loyalty talking? Do we want to count on a wide receiver to guide our team?

That’s my view basically. Nothing is for sure in life but most people whose opinions I respect rate CW highly. We may never have this chance again. That being said, I trust Poles but hope the McCaskeys don’t get involved and mess things up somehow.

So far being the operative words.

Agreed, he didn’t have it easy. He seems to be a great guy, like Trubisky, and I wish him the best. Big days for the Bears ahead!

I think Pace screwed things up more than anyone. And while he traded away draft picks and overpaid for veterans, most here said little and many supported him. We can’t know the politics of it all and who did what entirely, but Pace sucked for sure. Results speak for themselves. There are always ways to bend reality to make a point, but the facts are overwhelming to me.

I am no fan of Nagy, but he got a job after he left Chicago. Bottom line fact. With a team that won the Super Bowl. Fact. Getsy also got a job. Fact. Check Fields stats. Facts. The facts speak for themselves. The facts in this situation are multi faceted and all point to JF leaving IMO. We have a once in many years chance of getting a generally believed to be a blue chip quarterback. I hope we get him.

I don’t believe this narrative about Fields being failed as the reason for his failure. Nagy went back to KC and worked with Mahomes. Getsy was promptly hired by the Raiders after being fired from the Bears. There are always excuses available for failure, but in the end it is down to the individual. I will be very interested to see how Poles acts.

Life is better with the ignore button.

I always felt like he got the shaft from the team, although he was a prima donna. There were some real jock type bullies on that team, Urlacher and Kreutz included. Great players but questionable human beings in my view. I better be careful though, making negative comments about Urlacher got me banned years ago, lol

Wow, thanks for sharing!
