I mean, when they started 0-4, it was plastered everywhere that the odds of making the playoffs were basically 0. It's not that unrealistic to tank after seeing how disappointing they started. We saw Poles execute a perfect tank job the previous season.

:what:
I’ve said my piece on this one. I don’t think you’re being fair and objective on this. Trading Justin at that point would have been wild.

Can someone who knows someone on the Chicago Bears organization explain what the Bears are doing? Because I thought the Bears were supposed to get this massive return for trading either Justin fields or the number one pick. All you got is a six round pick?

I don’t view Fields as a scapegoat and I don’t think that’s how Poles views it. We just happened to get the opportunity to draft at #1 overall in a draft where there is a serious highly touted QB talent. It’s widely agreed that he got a raw deal with his development in Chicago. I don’t think anyone questions that. He never had a fair shake.

I don’t understand the decision of keeping Flus tho. He shouldn’t be the guy being charged to develop a rookie franchise QB, it’s just not his skill set. Curious decision by Poles
I don’t think Poles viewed it that way either. I meant moreso some of these ā€œfans.ā€ I understand why Poles did it. Like others have said, even if Caleb becomes a bust, it would be understood since he’s been the consensus top college QB since last year.

They have his medicals and will be going through their medical team in the next week or so. Caleb is the pick.

It doesn’t sit right with me that Fields was made to be the scapegoat by so many while Flus kept his job. Did people catch amnesia with some of his decisions that directly caused the Bears to lose games? He was like the extreme opposite of Dan Campbell, philosophy-wise. Bears didn’t lose 10 games because of Fields. 7-10 is what most people predicted the Bears would be (I thought they’d be better if I’m being honest). Three games they definitely should’ve won (Denver, Detroit on the road, and Cleveland) was because of that conservative, playing not to lose BS, that bit them in the ass. Three games that would’ve made them a playoff team.

I HOPE for Caleb’s sake that he does become that dude and that one of these QBs picked after him doesn’t become better (which history shows is usually the case). With all these weapons, I’m expecting the Bears to have a winning record, rookie QB or not. I’m also glad Justin went to a serious franchise, with a HOF QB in the QB room with him, and with a black head coach.
:wtf: Justin wasn’t the scapegoat……we’re in the middle of a rebuild

What poles has been able to do in a couple years has been almost surgical. If he hits on Williams would be one of the best gming jobs in a while

a trade back is very likely IMO unless Odunze, or maybe Dallas Turner are on the board at 9 (unless they love an OT too)
