Sorry, but when all you're spending most of your time here doing is making excuse after excuse for a coach who has the same flaws on display for two and a half seasons now.. you kind of do this to yourself. Me putting it in print (so to speak) is just stating the obvious at this point. If you dont like the way youre being viewed, you need to admit the situation that is actually on display here.

Your realism strikes me as a person who's been hurt a lot and you're afraid of being hurt again and who's ego doesn't match their results.
And your armchair psychiatry mistaking pragmatism for melodrama based on jaded past experience strikes me as you throwing shit at the wall hoping something sticks.
I base most of this stuff off of the current situation and the facts observed within that current situation. Nothing else -for the most part. In other words, Eberflus isn't going to fail because Nagy failed, or because the Bears organization has been a clown car for most of the past decades. If he fails, it will simply be because of decisions he makes and situations he himself creates.
If your observation about my reasoning were true I would immediately have jumped on Eberflus from the start. I would have immediately jumped on Caleb from the start.. and so on. But I didn't, I let things breathe and do my best to let situations unfold as best I can before pulling the lever and dropping the blade on it. And I've been very consistent with this since I joined this board.

You patronized me with your realism about Justin Fields and you were wrong.
Is that so? Well, forgive me for not remembering all of our interactions here but I don't recall this. So lets go back to the beginning and see if we can figure out where my 'realism' with Justin in regards to us talking is wrong.
I liked the pick when they made it, and was good with Pace making the trade up. I was ok with him playing his rookie year and understood he'd have some good and bad moments. I supported a reset for him in year 2 and understood this may set him back a bit as the team was tanking, and Justin had to learn a new offense. By the end of year 3 I had seen enough to know Fields wasn't going to work out and I moved on. It was his 2nd year in that system, he finally had a couple of weapons to throw to and still exhibited many of his flaws from past seasons with few actual improvements.
And currently it looks like my observations about Justin were pretty accurate as he finds himself benched on another team.

You've done the same about Poles' trades and drafts and you've been mostly wrong.
Ok, this I do recall. And yes, I have my issues with some of this stuff. I won't go into detail on those issues as you should know by now what they are. And this is going to be a long response as is.
But, saying 'I'm mostly wrong' is hilarious given some of those players arent on the team anymore, and some of the other situations haven't played out yet completely.

The organization needs stability. Firing every coach..
Stability?
Really?
See, this is why I said you're in full meatball mode in an earlier post. I mean, in regards specifically to Eberflus -
who last year had to fire almost the entire coaching staff he hand picked- this is a pretty ridiculous comment on your end. If you really cared about 'stability' its just another thing that should be added to your own list as to why Eberflus is the wrong guy for the job. But its not, because for some reason you're infatuated with the guy and won't admit obvious glaring flaws that everyone else seems to see.. including a flaw you yourself claims to care about.
