Even that provides some closure. If Peterman (or Lincoln Hawk’s kid) can win 8 games with this roster we know Fields is done and the rest of the roster is adequate. They have a chance to put two more blue chippers into the system while holding down QB for another season or two while drafting developmental guys every year. Eventually you get the Kyle dream scenario of fixing everything else first then adding a QB when you are ready.
I just don’t have confidence in the current regime capitalizing on 1/2 in draft or the powers that be replacing that regime with the right guys.
if this season ends with the bears pick in top 2, it’s still probably 60/40 Poles gets to make that pick. If they do fire him it’s probably 60/40 the new guys make the wrong decisions.
Once you enter the hole of abysmal football, it is very difficult out to climb out.
