As hard as this is to say, Ltg is pretty much correct on his analysis about the current situation of the Bear's

Ryan Poles is on the verge of one of the most spectacular GM failures in recent history. He had tons of resources, lucked into the #1 pick twice, had a ton of cap space, but he has built a roster that as a previous poster pointed out, is more suited for a 7 on 7 summer passing league than the NFL.

There is a very real possibility that this team will lose the rest of the games on the schedule, if that does happen, or if they only win one or two more games you almost have to blow it up, how can you bring back the same group that has squandered so many resources? Do you trust Poles to rebuild the line of scrimmage when all he has shown is a fetish for WR's and DB's?

You have a group of highly paid vets that have quit on the current HC and have taken advantage of the soft culture, they also realize how bad the coaching staff is at coaching NFL football.

Your rookie QB who claimed he does not get nervous, looks terrified and rattled, the kid is tissue paper soft mentally and mom and dad can't pull him from the team and move him to Florida so he can play with all the other superstars at IMG Academy.

It was obviously a monumental mistake to not give the kid a vet center who could at least help him make the line calls, he looks lost at the line of scrimmage as he tries to figure out where the grown ass man that is coming to take his head off is coming from, simplify the game plan, tell him to run what is called for at least a series.

The biggest miscalculation was with Caleb Williams himself. This kid is much closer to bust status at this point than he is "franchise QB". And the worst part about his shitty performance early is that it came against shitty teams for the most part.
And I just watched him look worse than a kid with fewer starts than him, who was playing with worst talent than him, and who was billed to be a much lesser talent than him. By the looks of things this franchise is screwed for the foreseeable future.

Sounds like we have found some common ground in Poles being a terrible decision maker and the wrong guy for the job. Even if we differ on the details.

I said the exact same thing in the spring and summer when everyone believed it to be "a great thing" that he drafted Caleb Williams however. Which is where we disagree. The drafting of Caleb Williams (more than anything else) is the primary reason he should get whacked. He placed all of his chips (Hey Retard Ya Here?) In the middle of the table for this kid and it looks like a colossal failure at this point. For that alone he should be shitcanned!

But yet you were clearly all in with him on the decision to draft Caleb. Which appears to be his most fireable offense to date.

And we don’t agree on this point, we’ve argued enough about Caleb. I know where you stand, you know where I stand. Calebs story hasn’t been written yet, let’s see where he’s at after a couple of seasons.


To me his most fireable offense is keeping Eberflus after last season ended.


I wasn’t out on Mitch until season 3, and I wasn’t out on Justin until season 3. I’m not going to be out on Caleb after his rookie year.


You have no shortage of other posters to argue with over the Caleb topic.


But yeah, Poles sucks

He actually was building a solid foundation until he drafted Caleb Williams. That move is what's going to be his death knell. And it can't be let's not "discuss Caleb" coincidentally once he happens to be shitting the bed. Particularly when it was just but a month ago when you along with everyone else was loading up at the bat rack simply because he balled out on shitty teams. Caleb is the most important part of the Poles story. He whacked his OC simply because he couldn't "unlock" him. We aren't getting away from this so easily. Nope.

The solid foundation part is a complete lie, he didn’t have a quarterback, which is basic fundamentals of a solid foundation.

Nah yes he did and he trades him. And by the way your guy ain't looking all that hot right now is he?
Trade the pick and he has a double digit win team this season. It was right there for him and he blew it.

_________________

So you are saying that a guy that got traded for a 6th round pick, has been benched because after 6 games they had the 28th ranked passing offense. Thats your solid foundation?

It's remarkable to me how you cling to a qb who flat out sucked ass on two teams. If Fields is good, why isn't he good?

You mean the dude that is 8-4 in his last 12 games? You bet I am. When Jordan Love wins like that you get a Hall Of Fame bust for him

_________________

No. You don't seem to understand, even when he plays well theres no point in discussing him with you. I know where you stand with him.


We discussed him plenty after the Titans and Texans game, so it hasn't been only when he's played well. Its been a mixture. Theres no point in you regurgitating your points post after post. When you have something new to say on the topic, maybe -but theres nothing new here.


JLN exposing you as a Fields cultist adds quite a bit of context to your current positions: 'Nothing that went wrong while Justin was here was his fault, everything thats gone wrong since then is Calebs fault'. And thats it. Thats all there really is to you. Not really all that complex.

You are the same dude who shot down each and every dissenting opinion regarding Caleb Williams this past summer. One of the very same guys (and there were quite a few around here) who knew he'd be great after watching him bumslay shitty teams while he was in college. Each and every time someone deviated from CFMB consensus, guys like you were right there for ya to proclaim that no one knew anything.
For the past 10 weeks I've watched everyone from the concession stand guy to the ghost of Michael McCaskey get blamed for Caleb's troubles. Everyone except Caleb of course.

The primary reason that the Bears suck is because Caleb sucks. They have a solid roster and a shitty QB. That is where Poles made his mistake. He rode the wrong and now he's going to have to pay for it.

As far as Justin Fields goes it's embarrassing that he (a backup) is decidedly better than our starter. Which is the most shameful thing in all of this.

_________________

And here is the thing with Ryan Poles. The main reason that there is now a drum beat to get him whacked is because it appears that he "whiffed" on the #1 overall pick. Which I tried to tell guys like you that you cannot whiff on. He looks extremely incompetent now because he currently drafted what appears to be the worst of the 4 rookie QBs who happen to be starting. That's why people are calling for his head these days. People are pissed that he drafted Caleb Williams.

Fields is 8-4. His record in Chicago was what?

That's why the Bears got rid of Fields.

When Lunacy begets Lunacy. The Bears were obviously tanking during 2 of his seasons. Which makes it silly to discuss "records" . And by the time this season ends the Bears will have a worst record this season than they did last season. Despite "massive upgrades" in talent.

_________________

He was 5-8 last year.

Wins is not a stat that works for Fields in any way.

He is 9-5 over his last 14 games. Which obviously is a win stat that "works for him"

And again the Bears will have a worse record this year than they did last season. Despite "massive upgrades" in talent.

We are talking about if the Bears were right to get rid of him. 5-8 was his record in the year they weren't "trying to lose".

The W-L record with the Bears doesn't include wins with the Steelers.
