Bears Extend Poles

ESPN is an absolute joke.

New Coaching Staff: Johnson, DC (name a bigger upgrade in the league in the last 5 years?)
New FA/Trades: Thuney, Dalman, Jackson, Jarrett (trenches)
New Draft Picks: Loveland, Burden, Trapilo (BPA)

There is no other team in the NFL that upgraded as much as the Bears did. It is still on paper, but that's what they are grading on. ESPN has the Bears as the 16th best offseason. They are smoking crack.  It is all clickbait now. 

ESPN hates Caleb too. 

Very true

Another perfect example of how the bloggers and talking heads are full of crap. ESPN is supposed to be a flagship - like a major source.

It's BS season, and all the hype is crap. Even if a team turns out to have a great year, what they say about them now has nothing to do with it.

The click farmers throw this gruel out there and the fan boys just lap it up.

But the reality is coming, and I think the Bears stand a good chance of being great, not in articles, but on the field. But it doesn't happen because of praise, it happens because of hunger, and dedication. hours of hard work and wanting it more than the other guy. In this sense, praise works against your team.

Yeah, in some of these cases, it is just pure bias. The top 4 teams are west coast, and top to in CA.  

The Rams were #1, and their best move was retaining Stafford? Like seriously. I should've stopped there. The 2nd team was SF, and their biggest move was resigning Purdy.  This has to be random AI stuff, because it makes no sense.

I posed the question in a few different AIs and this is what they came up with:

   GPT - GEM - GROK
1. CHI     NE      PIT
2. BAL    CHI    CHI
3. WAS   LAR    LAR
4. PHI     DEN    NE
5. PIT     MIN    WAS

So top 2 in all 3 major AIs, which now crawl the web for some consensus (make less stuff up), but somehow the smooth brains over at ESPN think the Bears were 16th?

they are fools. OR theyre smart and looking for clicks not the truth? either way it's as trashy as the national enquirer. same with PFF.

but i dont care - the games are won and lost on the field, and Im so sick of winning the offseason. I used to love the hype, but it has gotten me sick so many times, I just cant anymore. I have no patience for it, whether its pro Bears or anti Bears. I want us to dominate - THAT will be fun.

Yep, and it is pretty obvious.
