Yeah I agree with you on the QB. I do think fields has the talent to be a good starter in this league but it won’t happen with the bears. For OC, I’m just hoping it’s an ambitious hire not some mediocre cheap guy like the bears are used to

When we played decent QBs, we got blown out. Getting diced up by GB should have shown us that whatever progress we thought was made was actually just incremental. A lot of talk shows are saying that we’re guaranteed a top 5 defense next season, but unless we got another edge and a good DC I don’t see us being elite, probably just top 15/10.

It’s the bears we have no clue what we’re doing. I do have hope in Poles, but the Flus decision definitely makes me doubt him a little.

What do you think we’ll do at OC and QB?

So our HC has had all of his coordinators fired for performance and conduct reasons, yet is able to stay on and hire another set of coordinators? Doesn’t make any sense to me

I can’t wait to experience that 0-16 season!

Yet the bears are keeping Eberflus?

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

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

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

And a lot of his other draft picks have been good

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.

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

As a bears fan, i hope this happens.
