It Poles is committed to Fields for 2023, then it doesn't matter if the Bears don't pick up a number 1 WR or improve their Oline significantly this season. If 2022 is simply about installing an offense system that Fields is comfortable in and fixing his throwing mechanics, then Poles has a solid plan. 2023 with all of the cap room and a first round pick will be about putting major pieces around Fields and taking the next steps towards a playoff/division winning team.

If though, 2022 is at all about evaluating Fields as a starting QB going forward, Poles hasn't done much yet to help his QB. But, we still have the rest of FA and the draft to see what happens.

The 2023 QB draft class is supposed to be a good to great one. If the Bears are 5-12 bad and have a top 6 pick, does Poles jettison Fields in lieu of his own guy?

A lot of unanswered questions amid one of the most enjoyable NFL off seasons in recent memory.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

I have no problem with him keeping that option open in the event that Fields sucks. I don't suspect that he believes that Fields will suck. Fields is one of the 3 or 4 players that he believes he can build the team around.

Interesting that Poles is taking the approach that I mentioned.

When I asked Poles if he feels like he's done enough to help Justin Fields, the GM made it very clear that he feels like the offensive scheme and coaching staff will help the QB.

"I see Justin getting better."

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Poles answers questions.

Pace hid behind doors.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Forget even if Fields sucks, what if he suffers a devastating knee or arm injury? You always have to have a contingency plan in case he ends up with a Wendell Davis type of injury.

Well if his plan is to possibly look for a new QB in '23 then it would make sense to tank this year and have a high draft pick.

I don't like that plan, but I can see where a new GM would be thinking that way.

I'm trying to be patient.

I know the draft is now weeks away. I also know that, post draft, there are always guys who get cut who can still play at a high level.

However, he has screwed up his two signature moves.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Yeah it’s a very alarming start.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Allowing Foles to collect a $4 million roster bonus also seems like a pretty big blunder since that money could have been used to front load the Bates offer or increase the offer to Brian Allen. Releasing Foles prior to March 21 would have cleared $7 million in cap space.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

This is an ultimatum veiled as misplaced overconfidence.

Maybe. Didn't most of us believe that Nagy's system was a major problem?

I would feel better about the "system" making Fields better if they didn't hire a defensive head coach and pair him with an offensive coordinator who has never called players, ever, at any level.

No you wouldn't. You'd find something else to bitch about. You can't help yourself.

Well as they say, wish in one hand and shit in the other and tell us what fill up faster. I'm sure this will work.

Yup. Making the roster worse is also a problem.

I'm not sure that the offensive talent has gotten worse. Was Allen Robinson better than Byron Pringle last year? Getting Mustipher out of the lineup is HUGE. There is still a hole at guard, but they'll fill it by drafting a tackle/guard or signing someone who got cut.

I believe that a system tailored for Fields and the running backs will make the offense dramatically better.
