  1. It's amazing how many old guys that I have never heard of are signed by this organization. I guess the fact I barely watch their games any longer keeps me from hearing of these guys.
  2. I think Cam Ward will be much better than Sanders but I am predisposed to not like anything related to Colorado football and view everything there as overhyped. Potentially I am being irrational but so be it.
  3. The hope would be could they get him on a shorter prove it deal to pair with Wright and three new bodies to start and find 4 other bodies to back up. The Bears need to invest their 3 top picks in OL. Williams is the future, if the defense suffers so be it. Then drop a bag of cash on someone in FA. IF they stick with Jenkins then draft a DL with their third pick All this being said, i have zero faith that Poles can do any better at his job then some folks off the street. His inability to do anything other than benefit from losing is rather amazing. My fear is he will trade up to take a stud OL and lose draft capital needed for his misses and inability to draft a strong class across the board.
  4. They have a great coach. Crazy how CPS is non existent.
  5. Can't wait to see the 34 year old reliever that we traded an 18 year old for in hopes he pans out so we can trade him for an 18 year old reliever in July.
  6. He failed miserably in his role in the last rebuild and handed the new job hence the reason he gets no leeway.
  7. They just had a historically bad season and he put the product together. There is tanking and then there is what last year was. He seems to be hiring people that other people like but have any of them had success in the position they were hired for. The guy from Arizona couldn't seem to properly evaluate a player he oversaw.
  8. The organization needs to want it to go their way and they really do not.
  9. Daniels and Nix are in systems that are being built around what they can do and a scheme that helps them. Williams is surrounded by a bunch of Bozos. The organization does not value coaching at all and may value it less then the White Sox. The entire organizational mission is to be a mom and pop thing where everyone loves Virginia and hates the Packers. The fact the Packers thoroughly emasculated them for the past 30 years and Virginia, Michael and now and ticket manager turned CEO have zero clue on how to address this issue. The team accountant was in charge for many years....yes that's who you want running the franchise. Sadly death (Bears, Bulls and Sox won't be sold) is the only way Chicago organizations change.
  10. Bears fans looking at this dumpster fire of an organization and seeing fault in Caleb Williams need to understand the role that coaching and scheme play. This organization has done nothing to help him become an NFL quarterback. Denver and Washington have guys that develop quarterbacks working with them. Williams is on his third OC. We have learned nothing about how good Williams may or may not be. Aikman is looking at it through the lense of one game. The dude playing LT should be safely tucked away on the practice squad. You think that is not going through Caleb's head? There are zero qualified people in that organization to work with him. Thomas Brown who I am sure they hoped would do well and be the HC for cheap is looking a lot more like the guy he was in Carolina. Hopefully Joe Brady takes the job as if Ben Johnson is looking for a good organization the Bears are not it. The hoopla and pageantry of being a founding team means nothing. That literally is their only selling point.
  11. Yes he could possibly be the least of our problems after the punter.
  12. He passed on Harbaugh. What has he accomplished in his role other then to build out non-football roles? The product on the field is worse then ever and they are destroying the one thing they have never had until this year. Yes Williams does not look that good but for God's sake he is on his third OC of the season and the OL is an absolute joke. That third round OL pick is an embarrassment. They are in no position to draft projects. Poles thought this roster was talented enough to cover for the 3rd round project and then to use 4th round pick on a punter. He got them from point A to B thanks to Lovie Smith. Without that pick we are worse off than we are now which is saying something. Now we will gamble on an inexperienced coordinator to change the organization with zero support from the clown shoes at Halas Hall. Good luck with that.
  13. Zero blame on Williams as this s%*# show is an absolute joke, Not a single non player in that organization has any credability.
  14. The same ESPN that had the Arizona logo for Arizona State. Media in general not only seem to not care about production but can't hire folks to get the simplest of things correct or hire an editor to correct them. You'd think these things would be easier to catch.
  15. Agreed but the only person that can make that call is Warren or George. The others are fighting for their lives.
  16. If they go 4-13 there is zero reason for Poles or any other coach to come back. They are burning year one of the rookie contract with zero progression and little reason to believe they will not be blowing through year two.
  17. For me Robert is more of a fresh start guy. Unfortunately he can't stay healthy either.
  18. Wouldn't this open opportunities for coaches that wanted a role in player personnel moves if Poles was gone?
  19. He didn't appreciate Jordan when he was here. Couldn't move on from winning fast enough.
  20. Four names this morning Joe Brady Mike Vrabel Flores Ben Johnson I would think you kick the tires on Bellichek
  21. I guess I was off the reservation recently as there is a serious fire under them all. Maybe I wasn't caring enough and only hearing about how things will now be different. Seems like Poles will be gone after the season. Opens up the opportunity for a HC with personnel input.
  22. The media I heard last week was about Thomas Brown getting an opportunity and what he would need to do to be the next head coach. Maybe I was expecting more heat or not paying attention which is good then and I am sadly happy to be wrong as I wished they all worked out. I will agree that the narrative seems to be changing but I viewed the season as lost after the Patriots game and yesterday looks like this team has a real culture problem that goes much further than Eberflus and Waldron so you are right. I thought Poles was certainly safe prior to yesterday. It took Dan McNeil of all people to begin the narrative of Warren v Harbaugh and what a huge miss that was. It will be a minor miracle for them to win 5 games this year. If they are going to hamstring their hirings to fit what George and Virginia want and now add Warren's ego, I am not certain anything is changing any time soon. If Poles was on board with Eberflus when he was hired and doubled down earlier this year with no pushback from Warren, they should both be gone. The next question are they prepared to pay for a legitimate coach while paying Eberflus $5M a year for the next 2 years.
  23. Again I cannot reiterate enough how Poles and Warren are somehow getting a free pass on screwing this up. George the ticket salesman is a complete buffoon stuck in the 1940's. Williams will be on his third head coach and amazingly fourth OC when next season kicks off. The ineptitude has reached new lows up there with Poles and Warren and that is really saying something.
  24. Penn State and Texas are going to make it to semis without a quality win all season. How are both seeded higher than OSU? OSU beat two teams in the playoff. Michigan loss looks bad but it is still MIchigan. Close losses to Oregon seems to help Boise and Penn State but not OSU.
