I'm sorry that I don't get "moist" when discussing coaching hires. Or personnel moves in general. We are cheerleading a hire in the hopes that it would lead us back to mediocrity. Which is how 99% of Bears discussions on here and the score tend to be. If not this then the incessant Packer fan trolling even as we get curbstomped every year.

One of the reasons that this season was an utter disaster is because MANY pf the same guys that are now "Moist" were moist this time last year for Caleb. I'm not interested in "winning" offseasons or "press conferences". Again so "Score like" in philosophy. You win games on the field. And Rookie Unproven coaches coupled with a bad, unproven QB is usually a recipe for disaster. In any sport

i hope he and caleb form a reid-mahomes type connection and we have title hopes each year. who is hoping they become mediocre? given the pedigree you should be hoping ben johnson 100% works out. your premise is off. you talk about mediocrity yet there are a bunch of active threads talking about the previous failed bear QB one full season removed.

I've seen hundreds of dicks in my life.

You get moist for Caleb when you watch college football

If you have a 95 rating in a close game you played well. This shouldn't even be an argument.

Week 2 of this year Brock Purdy took 6 sacks and had 2 turnovers in a 23-17 loss to Minnesota. His QB rating was 101.3. His QBR for that game was 47.7. His EPA/play for that game was -0.02. He did not play well that game.

Can we fast forward again to the point where you point out how good Jordan Love is because of EPA\play?

That's where it ends though. Post that same graph you always do!

You seem to bring up Love a lot more than I do. I was just showing you why you're wrong about your rigid 95 qb rating + close game = played well equation.

Brick your 1 stat to illustrate that he "played very well" is still a stat where his number was among the worst in the league.

I mean, he completed 77% of his passes and his fumble was a fluke play where he wasn't even touched.

Overall, he didn't play very well in his first season. It was dragged down by some incredibly poor performances. I don't know why I have to keep repeating that.

Good enough for me McCarver. Hope Springs Eternal!

Bears are better today. The Lions are worse today. These are both good.

I don't think that makes his fumble more impressive, it makes it worse.

But his turnovers and sacks resulted in SF scoring only 17 points, not enough to win most games. The things qb rating ignores specifically led to him not playing well and losing the game for them. That's why it's a good illustration of why your equation is wrong.

glad justin fields is the main topic of the ben johnson HC thread. very relevant.

Caleb Williams isn't really a "true" rookie because he turned 23 late into his 1st season in the NFL!"

I disagree. If you look at the play it's one of the more fluky things you'll see unless you think Purdy is somehow incapable of a small pump fake that doesn't end up with the ball flying 10 feet in front of him.


You can play well and still lose especially when it comes down to a fluke turnover like that one.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

I heard this when they drafted Caleb. Then I heard it again when they fired Waldron. Then I heard it again when they fired Flus. None of it turned out to be true. I will believe it when I see it.

enjoy your misery

i promise you our packers fans agree with me

He probably really dislikes Caleb Williams:

He'll likely be Pittsburgh's starting QB next season and the Bears are on the schedule. Saddle Up Boys!

I'm not going to indulge those of you who insist on being miserable about a joyous event.

Bears are better today. The Lions are worse today. These are both good.

The return of Aidan Hutchinson, along with the other injured defensive starters, will more than offset any presumed drop off attached to the loss of an OC.
