    There’s no such thing as a 3 year plan
  3. jersey cubs fan
    Plenty of people think he will be here. But he doesn’t deserve to be here and there isn’t a reasonable argument out there on the other side. He’s done a terrible job and you can rest assured thay if and when he is replaced, some people will give the next guy all the excuses about the barren roster that guy inherited.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    That is because you clearly do not understand the concept of value.
  5. jersey cubs fan
    The best players on the team were acquired by the previous regime. Poles had an opportunity to improve the team and he both chose not to and then failed to do so. This awful roster is Poles’ fault, not Ryan Pace. You cannot absolve Poles of making a bad value trade because he was forced into it by his own bad management decisions.

    Who’s got two Ls and two Es in his last name and has been added to the major league coaching staff? #Males

    How does this narrative continue? The bears HAVE NOT invested heavily in their roster.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    Since it is almost certain QB will be a need this off-season, the trend tells us Ryan Poles will ignore the position entirely then sign a random veteran in august and trade a 2nd round pick for one in October.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    There is no value in this move whatsoever. That’s not hot take stuff, it’s just a fact. The player might stay and produce, but the means of acquisition are a gross misuse of assets, necessitated in Poles’ mind by his own failure to do the job.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    I don’t see why it signals that.

    Williams resigned / was forced to resign. This is being reported as a firing, but apparently not for football reasons. either it’s related to the Williams situation, or perhaps he was outed as a mole or source for the SNF crew’s anti Fields rants.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    And now the RB coach has been fired this coaching staff is a complete mess.

    The bears beat writers are so lazily covering this sweat trade. They all say, yeah it’s a lot to give up for half a season when you aren’t contending, but they needed pass rush help. None of them are reporting on the fact that they need pass rush help because Poles failed to address the need for pass rush the past two offseason. this is terrible asset management and another in a long list of examples why the bears can’t risk allowing poles to screw up a potentially franchise altering 2024 draft and offseason. they have to move on.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Sure, before it’s official, but big contracts are always reported before becoming official.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    So four hours or so and we haven’t heard anything about an extension for Sweat? If there isn’t one, this is a truly awful move.

    Their own 1st pick sits at 3 right now, with some bad teams trending worse. I could see them viewing Carolina, Arizona, Minnesota and Green Bay as winnable games that would leave them at 6-11. That would make their 2nd rounder somewhere in the 37-39 range.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Probably not in Poles’ mind. If he can get a 2nd he’ll call it a wash on the picks even if it goes from 33 to 60. If he can get a 3rd he’ll probably be just as happy. He drafted a half dozen defensive backs* for a reason. *citation needed.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    It was reported by dc media that a mystery team wanted to trade for him and sign an extension. The bears were that team, apparently. I’m not sure another team wanted to do it. but it’s beyond ridiculous to avoid addressing an obvious need in both the draft and free agency in back to back seasons and then trading a draft pick for the rights to sign a guy to fix your problem. This is especially true when none of your own picks have been impactful.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I get “they agree with Kyle’s faith in Bagent” vibes with this trade, meaning they think they can steal some wins and make that 2nd rounder closer to 40.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Who is Jones?

    Delay, deny and deflect Not paying players is the new market efficiency. People watched the Patriots spend two decades letting guys walk away and forget about all the other things that made them great. Front offices get criticized for wasting money all the time. “Off-season champions” are routinely mocked. The process is all that matters. As long as future value is theoretically involved you can always convince a good section of a fan base that things are looking up. And not spending ownership’s money is one way to extend your employment without the pesky demand of trying to win games. Ryan Poles wanted to lose games in 2022. He did not care about trying to win in 2023 and if he gets a chance to return in 2024, I do not think piling up victories will be high on his priority list.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Macklin Celebrini and two guys named Cole.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    They can’t get out of their own way, let alone their defensive zone. Reichel is being wasted with his garbage line mates. I think he should play with Bedard. Athanasiou is nothing

    In retrospect, I saw the coyotes goals and they weren’t soft at all. this team sucks
