@CRM 114 hey cockhead. you remember that shit that CCS was talking about ad nauseum about the state of the cap and all the draft picks Pace traded away for probably next to nothing? Poles had to, in one offseason mind you, attempt to balance the books (which means you get rid of expensive players) and try his hardest to draft new players with the empty cupboard gimmick again (think back about 7.5 years) and my life doesn't revolve around drafts and practices, I'm not really certain he drafted good players. but a lot of people here seemed to like the direction he was taking the team. I still think offensive head coaches are jackoffs, the only way they work is if they're like McVay or Reid. meaning they have to have some spectacular output on offense. I was thus a proponent of getting away from the stink of Nagy and especially the 3-4 defense. I like Eberflus in theory, we'll see how it translates in real games.
the way I see it is this: the Bears can be passably decent with this alleged inferior/worst ever talent, or they wind up very bad. some people here would dismiss them as failures if they went 15-2 if the 2 losses were to the Packers ever.
in either scenario it's not going to ruin my day. I've existed on this planet probably almost twice as long as you have, my expectations for this team have been quite tempered. I actually saw the end of Ditka, Wannstedt, and Jauron, they were all bad enough I just gave up on football for several years.
