In a perfect world, they draft the right QB at 1, secure their LT at No. 9, and use the hopeful 2nd they get back from Fields to get a WR to complement DJ. You try and sign someone like Andre James at C in free agency, and fill in the rest of your holes in the draft. But they'd have a well rounded team with those moves, all of which seem pretty realistic. The only thing still missing is another edge rusher, which again could be done in FA.

What an embarrassing performance from Philly.

Stroud looks to be the real deal. Jury is still very much out on Chase Young. The odds seem solid that one of Williams/Maye will be a great QB. The Bears have had the chance to select all 4 of them, and if they come away drafting 0 of them, because they had Justin Fields on their roster...that's unforgivable.

I don't disagree

Good for the Lions.

It’s becoming an infatuation for you, may want to talk to someone. For someone who hates Fields, you can’t seem to stop talking about him, even when someone doesn’t bring him up

Jordan Love is a problem

The idea of booing Krause as well when you really break it down is so stupid. He was the GM of the 6 titles and the supporting casts around 23 and 33 were totally different for the 3Peats. Even if he did break up the core too early (which is highly debatable) you’re booing that fact over cheering for the 6 titles? How are those remotely equal, let alone deciding to boo instead of just shutting the f*** up if you didn’t like Krause. It doesn’t make any sense

Value wise, yes. But as we all know, the Bears have never found their guy, ever. And in today’s NFL, more than ever, they need to find him. If they don’t, none of the other moves really matter.

Thank you Caulfield, for posting the weather report for Wuhan in a blizzard thread. We all found it helpful and most importantly, topical to what Kyle had posted. Keep up the great work.

It's never firm when someone backs up a Brinks Truck

Heard the question asked yesterday.....If Flus was fired today, would any other team hire him as their HC? And if not, doesn't that mean you can do better?

I have a much bigger problem at this point with them keeping Fields than I do Flus.

He is friends with Ted Phillips son, so yes.

I somewhat agree with this...if they were 100% in on Flus, I feel like they would have said something by now?

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the 49ers are the class of the NFL right now, and missed BADLY on Trey Lance. Seems almost impossible to not be able to succeed in that system…but even great teams get it wrong

Yeah, I don't see anyway this happens. I actually think Fields the player can have a great amount of value for a team and could really help Atlanta, but because he's going into Year 4 of his rookie deal, his worth takes a fairly large hit

This is correct, because as we all know, this is the cycle the Bears continue to find themselves in, by their own doing. Lame duck coach inherits new QB, it doesn't work, coach is fired, new staff brought in, 2nd year QB is now on his second system in as many years, usually there are some bumps with the first year head coach, so now 2 years are potentially wasted, and now the QB you got to "Reset" the clock is on Year 3 and his development has been stunted. There were talks on the radio yesterday that Flus may have actually gotten a contract extension that we don't know about or wasn't announced publicly. If you keep Flus, which I don't want, you have to give him at least 2 more seasons.

Which is why Kevin Warren is in the building

Correct

Might be a total disaster, but the Bears could be the most watched/interesting team in the league next year with Harbaugh/Williams. And if the Bears want to do it, they can..will only cost money.

Of course there is. And I think anyone who says differently has blind hate to Justin or irrational love to Williams. They can win more games with Fields still at QB with a better cast around him. But ideally you'd like to have that franchise QB you know is the one.
