whatever it was it happened before we drafted him, but we didnt know about it.

Its not like we knew and said "hes a 5th rounder so who cares?" It could have been our first rounder just as easily. Somehow, there was something major that we didnt uncover. That's not a good look for a multi billion dollar business with all the tools they have at their disposal.

Ben Johnson is showing us that accountability is the key to building a culture - its the only way you know whats broken and the only way to fix it.

We dont have to worry about Poles' feelings. We can praise him for some moves and criticize him for others. We dont need to rationalize his failures, in fact thats the opposite of accountability.

We should notice the good stuff and notice the bad stuff, and be willing to move on from the bad stuff.

I remember we were discussing that we should keep Tevin Jenkins just a few months ago. Now, aren't you glad we didn't? Isn't it better for the Bears to move on from players who arent studs, and replace them with studs or people who are still developing who might become studs?

I want the team to be great, I am willing to trade or cut anyone if it helps us get better.

I believe this draft pick wasnt well vented and was a Al Harris recommended draft pick. 

It has nothing to do with Poles feelings. It comes down to he has made bad decisions and some good ones. To ignore the good ones doesnt give you a proper evaluation. When you put it on a scale, rate it however you like, that doesnt mean everyone has to agree with you. I am not alone in my C grade for our GM. 

You act like I want the team to be terrible, that's not even rational thinking. Cut or trade players , for me, I look at the roster as a whole and it looks pretty good to me. I have no idea how old you are but I've been living a Bears fan since the mid 1960s and it has not been good. That doesnt mean I should not have the hope BJ and the team as a group will not be good. \

The most important draft picks are the first round. Colston Loveland-Caleb Williams-Rome Odunze-Darnell Wright. So far these seem to all be good picks. 

2nd round   Luther Burden-Ozzy Trapilo-Shemar Turner-Gervin Dexter-Tyrique Stevenson-Brisker and Gordon. 

The jury is still out on some of these picks but the arrow is pointed up.

He participated at rookie camp, so that shifts the timeline a bit...
