BearFan PHX Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago I don't blame Caleb at all. He was right. Eberflus and Waldron was a nightmare scenario. I mean they actually didnt watch film with him! To the point where the guy is fired by week ten. What an absolute shit show! And in the end, Caleb did it anyway. he was a man and took his situation, bad as it was. I've got nothing but respect for Caleb in this. People will try to say he was being arrogant, and not a team player. But knowing what we know now, Caleb was just right about it.

AZ54 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Oddly I was saying all along before the draft I don't think Caleb wants to be in Chicago. Nothing I saw on video, from combine press conferences, interviews, to his pro day, showed body language that indicated he wanted to play here.

I think after the Bears went to Hollywood and wined and dined him, his mind changed. They told him he will be a bear. He chose to accept the challenge and rewrite the QB narrative.

BearFan PHX Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I have to give Poles points for being firm "We are going to draft you no matter what" The narrative was out there before the draft that he and his dad didnt want him playing in Chicago, and the book just expands on that, but youve got to figure by now Caleb and his dad are ecstatic about how it all turned out. 57 minutes ago, AZ54 said: This is how you respond... Absolutely. Johnson sounds really good. Cant wait to see it on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I actually hate this and it makes me very worried about Caleb. Who is leaking this shit and what good does it do? Has to be coming from Caleb’s camp. How about instead of worrying about the narrative - just work right now on getting better…ripping Flus and spending time to leak this crap does nothing good.

It isnt a new statement from Caleb, just newly released to hype the book. As far as I know, he made peace with all of it before we drafted him. that's also what the book says, according to other excerpts this week. I agree if he said this now, that would be really dumb.

That is helpful and am fine if it was more his dad pre draft - but nothing good about going along with this post draft. I just hear about the film stuff etc - maybe it was other players who leaked it - kind of hard to imagine they really were that incompetent. Of course I never supported that final year of Flus. But if this was all part of the initial pain and now Ben Johnson and this offseason is what it takes to get everything over up I’ll forget about it…come on Bears!!! 🐻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
