"I'm told it was not criminal activity, but it was inappropriate, and the Bears' HR department was involved in the decision for Alan Williams to step aside."- Adam Schefter
Ross is a B- manager and Counsell is better, but he's not coming to the Cubs. If Ross isn't the long-term manager of the Cubs, who is available that's better?
Is it really a coaching issue when your QB refuses to make quick decisions then misses guys middle and deep for no reason? I think that’s just QB instinct and Fields doesn’t have it and hasn’t improved on it at all in three seasons.
I think the coaches know Bagent gives them a better chance of winning. There’s at least a chance Bagent is good after seeing what he did in the preseason. There’s no chance Peterman is good.
With another year under his belt and better players around him, Fields has regressed. He’s afraid to run bc the coaches probably told him not to so he stays healthy. But that’s his only strength.
There is no hope without new ownership.
Guess the team told Claypool he better start trying according to Jay Glazer or he’d be deactivated or traded. Claypool supposedly apologized. Why would you not try week 1 of the season?
You can always overturn the call later, but they have to see how the play develops and then take a look at it. I don’t like those early whistles on judgment turnovers that are developing.
Bears had other needs last draft and maybe they didn’t like Bryce Young. This year’s draft is very QB heavy and if they want to move on from Fields there will be plenty of opportunities.
