  1. So - do we believe in Ryan Poles now?

    I don't think many here would be satisfied with a 7-8 record. They sure wouldn't if Justin Fields was the QB. Sounds like excuses are already being made and we were told excuses were unaceptable.
  2. Needs after Day 1 and possible targets?

    Biggest needs now: Edge --because Bears near the bottom in sacks and pressures. DT, since Justin Jones, their best DT gone. Og and OC to allow the QB to step up in the pocket. So who will be available at 75 and 122?
  3. So - do we believe in Ryan Poles now?

    So how many?
  4. So - do we believe in Ryan Poles now?

    How many wins this season for Poles to be considered a success?
  5. Moment of truth 👀

    Not true. The Bears were contenders for the next couple of years with a still dominant defense, but lacked a decent QB who could stay healthy and therefore couldn't compete offensively.
  6. We are going to be Trade Down Clown

    If he 3 WRs are gone, it would be hard to pass up the 21 year old Dallas Turner who would fill a huge need as a top pass rusher and has a huge upside.
  7. Draft thoughts from The Athletic’s Robert Mays

    Odunze is "clean." (And Nabers isn't?) What does that actually mean?
  8. I Have Reached Mock Draft *Nirvana* 2024

    Herbert deserves more love. He's been a very good RB and led the NFL in average yards per carry in 2022.
  9. I Have Reached Mock Draft *Nirvana* 2024

    I would add Latu as a possible pick if a trade down happens. He is the best pass rusher in the draft and if he's medically cleared, would be a steal after 9. Hopefully one of the the 3 top edges would be there. Another 3rd, or even a 2nd would be a huge bonus.
  10. Who is the best edge rusher in the 2024 NFL draft

    I would expect that the Bears would have done an in depth study of Latu's medical status, including talking to multiple doctors and review of his injury and recovery. There are some injuries where the body is even stronger after the operation. On the other hand, if there is a chronic weakness...
  11. Who is the best edge rusher in the 2024 NFL draft

    He did play the last two seasons injury free--and excelled. That should count a lot.
  12. OT: Jayden Daniels is the diva people thought Caleb Williams was

    What do you think the homers would be saying about Williams and Daniels if the Bears had the second pick instead of the first and were planning on drafting Daniels?
  13. Poles Rejected The Haul! . . .

    Obviously it all depends on whether Williams is as good as advertised. If he is, then the "haul" is forgotten history. If he struggles, then failure to negotiate a haul will be a massive mistake and the end of Poles.
  14. Poles had decided to trade massively up, but then the lottery win came

    By prioritizing DBs and DTs in his drafts, Poles made it clear that he wasn't going to support Fields. Now he has done with Williams what he should have done with Fields. He has also bought himself three more years (for Williams to develop) even if Williams has a rocky start.
  15. Chop Robinson

    If the Bears can find an outstanding pass rusher at 9, then pull the trigger asap. Remember who the MVP of the 85 Bears was? DE Richard Dent. He was a hidden gem and a lower round draft pick. GMs who can find great players in middle and lower rounds are a huge bonus for any team.
