They won't be gone this year, but the seat's gonna light up under KOC and Kwesi in MN, especially Kwesi. He's completely whiffed on two drafts and if he makes further mistakes in a draft where the Vikings have so many areas of need, that will set us back potentially for a good decade in a division where every other team is on the rise. I will give KOC credit for somehow getting 2 good games out of Josh Dobbs, but trying too hard to fit more mobile QBs into the pocket-passing role Kirk Cousins had, stubbornly sticking to Mattison over Chandler as our feature RB for way too long, and making too many baffling red zone play call decisions regardless of QB are hopefully just growing pains and not a growing trend.

Dobbs was so much fun to watch for those two games.

[–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

The media has been telling me that BB is gone for weeks.

[–] Fleamo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's not getting fired though with his resume. They will wait a few days to see if they can trade him and if they can't get anything it'll be a "mutual parting of ways" after a week or two.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

"Parting ways" is official now. Definitely not mutual though, since he was offering to give up GM duties to stay on.

[–] Nusm@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

According to reports, Blank wants him in Atlanta, and, if I know Blank, he’ll do a trade.

[–] Fleamo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I have no idea what coaches are worth but if the Falcons can get him and still get a solid QB I think that makes sense for everyone. As a fan I wouldn't want to give up a top pick but maybe a 3rd?

[–] garrett@infosec.pub 3 points 8 months ago

I don’t know if I buy it but there does have to be something happening. At minimum, imposing a GM on him is necessary cause this “get the most out of players I found at a yard sale” isn’t working without strong role players and a winning record.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If it weren't for the slight resurgence I'd say Eberflus on the Bears. 7-10 still ain't a good record though.

[–] popcornheadlines@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

He’s gotta go. 3 historic 4th quarter collapses and anytime we faced a competent team we were outclassed easily. I believe 3-4 of his wins this year came against coaches that have been fired already too

[–] garrett@infosec.pub 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If they dump Fields for a new draft QB, I’d say that the whole front office should probably go 😂

[–] popcornheadlines@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I think the GM should stay, he put them in position to have the number one pick this year with a somewhat decent and young roster.

[–] Fleamo@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Traded 1 overall for:

DJ Moore, 9 overall, 61 overall, a 2nd in 2025, ...and 1 overall.

Keep that GM.

[–] popcornheadlines@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

And a lot of his other draft picks have been good

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bears keep whiffing on QB. Or maybe it's the coaching hiring that they've whiffed? Or both? Eitherway that's also on the GM. So, I'm kinda 50-50. I agree with a big big asterisk.

[–] popcornheadlines@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I think it’s a combination of player development and organizational ineptitude. They don’t put players in positions to succeed and they don’t develop players. Until recently very few bear draft picks had gotten a second contract. If you can’t develop any position, why would you be able to develop a QB

[–] garrett@infosec.pub 2 points 8 months ago

True. That trade was a masterclass. They probably just gotta get Flus outta there. I’m just being extreme since the Bears have a bundle of positions with greater need than swapping a QB.

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So glad 'flus left Indy. Those 4th quarter collapse were epic.

"Guys, let's do something they won't expect. Let's play prevent defense and make sure they can come back to beat us!"

[–] popcornheadlines@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Somehow the bears would play prevent and give up a 30+ yard completion consistently.

Also he would constantly play soft zone coverage giving up easy completions and not rushing enough when what had consistently worked is getting pressure on the QB. It’s infuriating

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh I agree. He's not the future for them at all. Even some of their wins this year were ugly as hell.

But I think he bought himself a year sadly.

[–] popcornheadlines@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah we barely beat the panthers. I think this is the right time to be ruthless. He’s done well in the locker room but he his simply not good enough, and with the options out there it’s time to move on even if it is unfair to him
