It's hilarious that you think this is a Brooks Boyer thing.

It's just not a recipe for long-term success. It's a very inefficient offense that will lead to more issues than wins, IMO. So many things can go wrong on each play, and the longer the offense is on the field, the more plays that are executed, the higher the risk for a big sack, injury, or turnover. Good offenses need those big chunk plays, not the dink and dunk that we saw on Sunday. Now, I totally understand this was his first start, and he did well. I have no reason to not want Bagent to succeed and maybe he can. But as others have mentioned, we've seen this so many times in Chicago, history is not on his side.

If Bagent puts up like 7 or 8 wins or something, I can somewhat buy in and build a team around everything else, basically the 49ers plan around Purdy…but everything else has to be near perfect in order for it to work. Finding the “guy” at QB should still be the No. 1 priority.

So just continue on with Bears tradition? We’ve learned NOTHING? Hard pass. Your statement of “you can win Fields or Bagent” might be true against the Raiders or Panthers, but if the goal is to build a team able to win the Super Bowl every season, we’d all need to see a ton more from Bagent to give us any sense if he was really the guy.

God this thread is depressing.

In 594 PA's this season he had an OBP of .296, and a slugging of .383 They weren't wrong.

He's not playing, basically 99.9% on that.

Manning -Colts Brady - Patriots Mahomes - KC Favre/Rodgers -GB Montana/Young - 49ers Marino - Dolphins Elway - Broncos Brees - Saints Big Ben - Steelers Aikman - Cowboys Warner - Rams Wilson - Seahawks McNabb - Eagles Rivers - Chargers I’m not even going to get into the 60’s/70’s which would expand this list, but you’re talking at least half the league. For as long as the Bears have been around, it’s an embarrassment what they have subjected fans to. Justin Jefferson would be the Bears all time leading WR at this point in his career….He’s 24

Last night was a great W, Vlassic had one of his best games as a pro.

I don't think that's the case either. When the Getz hire was made, Kim Ng wasn't available. It's a very easy spin for any organization with $0.02 cents of PR skill. "The Marlins loss is the White Sox gain and we're incredibly excited to welcome back Kim Ng to the White Sox family." It shows a willingness to get better, be aggressive, etc. They would look good. And while Getz would be knocked down a peg, he's a big boy.

Eh, I don't really think it is for someone like Jerry. He has built a foundation for himself where his 6th generation of offspring won't ever have to work, he doesn't really report to anyone, and he's pushing 90. If I had all those things going for me, why would I care about what Joe Blow on the street cares about me for?

That may all be true, but that doesn't mean, for a second, Bears fans can't have the same expectations as everyone else in the league. Bears fans are a lot of things. Spoiled is NOT one of them.

These can’t be real posts. Are you both inferring Bears fans have been “unfair” in wanting a Top 5 QB in the league? Something every other NFL team has had at some point? They are the charter franchise of the NFL and have NEVER come close to having a true franchise QB. Bears fans were SPOILED with Culter?!!?? Get fucked

Absolutely none of the holes you listed mean anything if the Bears don't find their "guy" at QB.

We’ve watched this game like 100 times as Bears fans. The players and coaches change, it’s the same s%*# every year

You’re 100% taking a QB with one of the 1st rounders. Is he still on the team next year? Very possible, but he can’t be the plan at QB moving forward

He’s 19, he’s got plenty of time to gel and mesh with the team. If he’s who the Hawks want him to be, they’ll want that extra year of control

As a reminder, due toe Canadian Hockey League rules, Korchinski isn't eligible to play in the American Hockey League this season, so it's either the NHL or the WHL. If he plays in more than nine games, the first year of his entry-level contract will be burned. I don't think the Blackhawks are too worried about that. In fact, they might even prefer it so he can get to his second contract quicker. The real key number to watch is 40 games. If Korchinski reaches that number, it counts as a full NHL season, which would get him to unrestricted free agency a year quicker than if he didn't (one of the ways a player can become a UFA is by accruing seven full seasons). I would be surprised if he surpassed that total. My prediction is that Korchinski will play somewhere between 10 and 39 games before he's eventually sent back to the WHL. He's almost a lock to make Team Canada's roster for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship and will likely play a significant role. https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/nhl/chicago-blackhawks/kevin-korchinski-made-opening-night-roster-but-is-his-spot-with-blackhawks-permanent/512565/

Good chance he isn't with the Hawks most of the year. Depends what they want to do, but most likely going to send him back to his club last year since he can't go to the AHL

2011: Royals 71-91 (11-7 against Sox) 2012: Royals 72-90 (12-6 against Sox) 2013: Royals 86-76 (10-9 against Sox) 2014: Royals 89-73 (13-6 against Sox) 2015: Royals 95-67 (12-7 against Sox) 2016: Royals 81-81 (14-5 against Sox) 2017 Royals 80-82 (9-10 against Sox) 2018 Royals 58-104 (8-11 against Sox) 2019 Royals 59-103 (10-9 against Sox) 2021 Royals 74-88 (10-9 against Sox) 2022 Royals 65-97 (10-9 against Sox) 2023 Royals 56-106 (7-6 against Sox) That's why.

We called this MONTHS ago. In fact, I thought the Sox were going to acquire Whit before this last season, even before Getz was in the picture at GM. I have no idea why anyone thinks a thing will change with Getz in charge. Gonna be the same old bullshit

1-0

On cue, they look completely lost in the 2nd half

DJ Moore is the best WR the Bears have ever had. Not a tall task, but he’s the absolute real deal

That was quite the opening drive
