Tory Taylor is a day 1 starter. Where were you going to find that in the 4th round of this draft. He is going to be our Punter for a long time.
Truly a generational talent in the 4th round . Well worth the pick in round 4
Hopefully we won't have to use him very often but if we do, he is going to flip the field.
Only con is he is going to be 27. I'd imagine he would look like to best punter when he's 3-6 years older than everyone else.
@@johnbuckley2968 Because age matters in punting? Do you also consider age for long snappers?🤣😂🤣 It is a skill. He took up the game in 2019, and from the moment he hit American soil has been one of the best at it.
future hofer already
The Flus Beard ERA is gonna be LEGENDARY
Thank you Saint Lovie. Amen.
No one's gonna complain about the punter pick when Tory Taylor makes his hall of fame speech
Amen brother.
Lovie Smith got the bears to 2 superbowls. the last one and the next one.
This is also our best receiver corps ever. I am so hyped!
Core
@@mastodon98nope. “Corps” is correct. Pronounced “core”.
And deandre swift in the backfield is gonna be nuts
I would save your excitement and tell the seasons begins and see how well they play you know we've been down this road before and I don't want anybody's hearts to get broken in case things go wrong
🐻🔽 And I do hope we got our guy
He’s been hyped for years. Not months
Most gifted and yet hasn't played a down yet. Slow your roll fellas.
Well On paper it's true, we haven't had nothing notna reach. Again on paper, no other Qb, and WR group looked this good before the season started in my 50 year life time not counting the 80's playoff runs
It’s true on paper but that doesn’t always translate
Shame you cant read in context of the discussion
@@michaelcar9268 The offense never looked this good on paper period. That 80's run was 95% the defense (the other 5% was Walter).
Now imagine putting the show Hard Knocks on top of this…….
There will be a huge push by the NFL to do it. The Bears would be smart to actually do it and embrace the attention they get. Especially if you want to convince the state to help finance a stadium.
I’d prefer they don’t do hard knocks
@@ImreallyIzzy the NFL doesn’t have to give them a choice.
@@TheSjuris Hard Knocks is a must for this group.
@@TheSjuris Six episodes on HBO is not getting the state of Illinois to cough up billions, nor should it.
I'd rather have one of the best punters in football than some random guy who doesn't work out for three years and we let him go
Hi Dan....Stlll following the Bears from far...excited about the fresh news
Guys you can’t get it all in one year…KA and Sweat plus what we still got is amazing. Next year Poles will finish the rest of our needs and the rebuild will be great!
Tory taylor net yards per punt
,44.3; Bears average last year, 38.4.
If team averages 7 pints per game, Taylor provides approximately a benefit of 40 yards per game, or 1000 yards per season. It's as good as drafting a thousand yard rusher or receiver. For a fourth round?
Silly argument. Nobody will disagree that Trenton Gil sucks and has to be replaced but you didn't need to spend a top 125 pick to do it. Example: Eagles signed Braden Mann to a 1 year-1.3 million deal this offseason. He averaged 49.8 per punt. Taylor averaged 48.2 yards. Mann's net was 43.9. Taylor was at 44.3. If we traded pick 122 for Braden Mann, would you have been happy with that? Bears get an A++ this draft cycle, but I'm counting the punter pick as a mulligan. No punter is worth a top 125 pick.
@@timevans5601what if they had taken Booker at the 122 and Taylor at the 144…? Would that be ok for you? 😜
No. There have only been 22 punters even drafted in the past 11 years. The Bears took 3 of them. The 3 punters that were taken before the 5th round (Wishnowsky, Carmada, Stout) during that span ranked 10th, 20th, and 33rd in net yards per punt last year. I looked back at the 1st and 2nd Team All Pro Punters over the past 8 years and only 3 of them had been drafted. It's an unsigned free agent position for a reason. Too cute of a pick for me. This team has too many holes for Poles to take his second punter in 3 drafts.
@@timevans5601we have picks next year too, in a much deeper draft. It just goes to show how Poles felt about the talent in the later rounds this year.
He hasn't even played one snap and you're all on his nuts. Embarrassing
Weirderer was one of the biggest promoters of get JF outta here and bring Caleb.. I cant wait to see him shred Caleb every time he struggles (which he will in his 1st year especially since he will now be facing NFL defenses not weak pac 12 opponents)
11:17 these mfs act like you get endless amount of draft picks and cap space. Why is Chicago media this damn corny dude?
670 is terrible
@michaelkawell3300 bro it's terrible. Bunch of these dudes kissing condescending Bernstein ass from 10 to 2. Put Lawrence alone again. I love Lawrence when he's alone like he used to be.
@@michaelkawell3300terrible. Everyone kissing Bernstein condescending ahhh from 10 to 2
Caleb got the SMOAKE. Swift, Moore, Odunze, Allen, Kmet, and Everett! Spread the word!
Yea Velus is gonna be one of our biggest weapons in the return game.
Caleb Williams freshman Oklahoma highlights are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 it was clear even as a freshman he was likely the best QB in college.
good punter helps, defense n QB
The thing is Tyson Bagent could lead this team to a record over .500 no excuses for Caleb if he wasn’t ready to be better than Bagent he won’t be the starter simple as that. Everyone should expect Caleb is the starter day one and we should win 10 games or more.
Dan's complaint about a center irks me to no end. Does the 2 capable veterans that Poles added to play the position mean nothing? The centers that were drafted high didn't play center and the centers that were rated high were drafted to play guard. Poles forgot more than Bernstein ever knew about football.
If Dan can't to find something to bitch and moan about he is miserable. I feel sorry for his family...
Neither one are really Centers, and they project to be average at best. Sure, they’re better than they the Bears had last year, but that’s not saying much. The Bears OLine is still a questionable.
@@sevinbamuels6560Coleman Shelton has been the starter for the Rams the last two years what are you babbling about?
@@matthewheywood8532 I thought he was a Guard!
Still, why didn’t the Rams keep him? Why is he on the Bears as a Back up the a Guard who Buffalo traded to the Bears for only a 5th round pick? The C position is still questionable. Nate Davis is Questionable and Braxton is Average. The Bears OLine is simply not any marginally better than last year.
@@sevinbamuels6560 because teams can’t keep everyone and the rams are in cap hell
To me the biggest challenge and issue is, is the coaching staff up to the task of developing this QB. We have a horrible history of screwing up QB’s. At this point I have little confidence in this staff. If the Bears don’t win at least 9 or 10 games this coming season, then we will be looking at yet again another new HC and staff. A new system and new people. The same problem Fields faced. The Bears have a history of going on the cheap for HC and staff and it shows with our results. I have growing confidence in Poles but not Eberflus. Frankly, he’s lucky to still have the job.
I respect Leila’s concern with the line but I think the greater concern is the IOL than LT.
Explain how having 3 starting options at OG and 2 starting C options is more pressing than having Pryor and 1 rookie backup as insurance at Tackle. Make it make sense please.
@@DJProphetNM One ascending player at his yr 25 season and one already all rookie OT months away from turning 23!!! with an admittedly very average swing T (Borom) is better than old retreads at G coming off bad seasons and NO clear Center at all.
The OT position being weak for Chicago narrative is ridiculous.
(X) Made it make sense in simplest terms possible.
@@OhioVworldBraxton Jones ain’t that good bro.
@@danielreynolds3694 maybe, but he ain’t bad either.
@@danielreynolds3694 Braxton Jones was right around average for a starting LT as compared to the whole league’s average starter per game- PFF #17 by team.
Assuming at least moderate improvement- which is completely normal from yr 24 to 25 at the position in the NFL, he’ll be better than a replacement OT this yr, low cost and still ascending.
Did you have something else?
0:05 corny garbage with this guy. "You've never had a quarterback so you'll never be able to get a good 1. Just lay down and stay defeated".
Poles has basically said that he would never pair a rookie QB with a rookie Center...
Ray Guy was, I think, a high drafted punter, and he was a valuable weapon for Al's Raiders.
Sadly, the Bears only have 4 games in which they had a 400-yard passer. Two of them happened in the 40's, one other happened in 1962, and the last one was in 1999 by Jim Miller!
THANK YOU, LOVIE SMITH!!!!
All things being equal (college vs pros) Caleb isn’t going to be facing the same offensive line difficulties that he did last year.
One thing we have to remember is that Peyton Manning broke the rookie record for interceptions in a single season. This isn't going to happen overnight so, as a fan base, we have to remember that and be patient and supportive
Sheesh, she seems like a blast to be around 😕
Budget could be a starter in this league I really believed he could
After the 3rd round, if you have a chance to draft a “generational talent”, on any spot on your team? You do it.
It’s not hard.
dont you love when Dan asks an unanswerable question
You analysts act as if our Bears coaches and execs have not been around superstars before. They are pros and have been coaching pros for decades. When practices start, it is all about ball and doing what they do - coach. Caleb is deadly focused on his goals and Odunze appears to be the same way. These two are no ordinary rookies who are going to be overwhelmed by you media types. (And anyone who saw Tory Taylor at Iowa knows he is a special punter who will make a major impact on our field position in every game.)
We’ll see what will be said about him 3 years from now by the Chicago media. They said the same thing about our last quarterback.
I think Debbie Downer is the WHOLE part of her.
Bears historically have managed to screw up everyth8ng they touch...even the super bowl bears only lasted one year when they should have been a dynasty
Sounds like your not old enough to remember the things that happened in 1986 & 1987 that pretty much derailed the dynasty hopes.
Having a rookie quarterback, and a rookie center could be a disaster also amegaji has gaurd flexibility
Bears @ Detroit SNF week 1, book it
They usually play the packers week 1
Bears vs packers week1 write it down!
I hope not firing Flus doesnt come back to bite us he lost 3 games he should have one last year and is already burning through coordinators 2 each coming into this season. Lovies downfall was never getting an OC and then letting him call the game as he saw fit and Flus is lots like Lovie and it is showing already.
Finaĺly the mcaskeys, hired football people and got the hell out of the way. Poles had a plan now hes executing his plan. Get younger faster and add takent at all levels. I cant wait for training camp.
If this kid fails, I’m going to blame all the media !!
You all are crowning this kid and it’s April. He hasn’t seen an NFL pass rush ever!!!
You are already setting him up to fail!!
WTF??!!!!
Yeah blame the media! That's REALLY original!
Caleb will be fine!! Playing at USC the lights are HIGH BEAM BRIGHT!!! In Los Angeles it's the Lakers, the Dodgers & USC in that order!! Caleb REVIVED A dam near DEAD USC program & will uplift a Chicago bears franchise.
Dude if he can play he can play lol
Like the media has anything to do with that
Relax and enjoy he’s set up like no one before now it’s on him and the coaching staff
@@dokedoker3340 This isn't 1987. YOU GOTTA SCORE POINTS ! You watched the Lovie Smith teams continuously FAIL to score points. I'm TIRED of that.
You gonna blame the media for Trubisky and Fields too?
He's the projected best let him play first.
They better be right about Caleb
It’s always so funny that these people trashed and blamed everyone else on the team for why the last QB sucked especially coaching and gave him every single excuse they could make up. Yet when it comes to those same talking points they don’t blame coaching or the QB or give excuses to the rest of the offensive players. Never consistent with y’all people. It’s not hard to see the old QB ( who I’m not naming because it’s history now ) was really the problem for the offense being god awful and why the OL and coaching looked awful. Shane Waldron and Caleb alone will absolutely make the OL look a million times better than y’all want to admit and I’m so glad Poles and Waldron saw that and didn’t listen to the casual fans.
Fields is so tough he survived the dysfunctional coaching and play calling. Getting injured saved him - he continued getting better. He matched the first rookie seasons of Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen in statistics. I think Poles was forced to take Caleb because the great plan of trading Fields to raise the value of PICK1 failed when a late phone call came in on the clock. GMs refused to pay big bucks for Caleb.
Fields went cheap and needs a year to rest and heal. He can be hired back cheaply after Caleb looks like a bust. 🐻⬇️🧆🏝️
“Are they ready for this?” Smh 🤦🏽♂️
Enough about the punter already. Are we looking to win games here or just lose by a little less?
You people are on crack, he hasn't even put on a Bears uniform yet. As a Bears fan you people are making me sic.
I guess the Bears have come a long way that Bernstein is crying they don’t have a Center
We are holding out for Josh Kreutz at Center…! 🐻⬇️
The whitesox were not ready for it. Deep question but yes I think the bears are ready to do right as an organization. Finally.just stay out of poles way.
Man you guys need to SLOW IT DOWN with these headlines ffs
Don't get out the anointing oil yet, it's a good draft, feet on the ground 🐻 fans bear down!!!!!!
He has not thrown 1 pass in the nfl get a grip your slef. What was his colleg record vs ranked teams . What was his record vs teams above .500? San Jose State is no longer on the schedule
Layla needs her own show.Lawerence and Bernstein straight haters
Holmes is best guy they have at thay station
Caleb and Rome aren't sure things.
To respond to your thumb nail.... Let's wait until Caleb have 7-8 games under his belt before you crown him okay......
The same was said about Justin Fields.
Kiran A-Mega-DJ
I think they should have went with Brock Bowers myself
Put the weed down
He wanted the Bears to waste a pick on a center. What a boomer.
The proof is in the pudding! He has not even set foot on the field.
That’s not saying much
You watch the games or just highlights..You lookin for a name we looking to fill areas of need
My question is will Coach ‘Floose’ hold the team accountable enough. I don’t see him as a coach that will step in and say your performance was not acceptable. I feel like he unknowingly suger coats poor performance by saying we have to get better… and then there’s this whole question mark about Shane Waldren (sp?) how many times has he worked with a rookie quarterback… what is his OF really like? In my mind still a lot of questions and sorry to say a lot of possibilities or ways that this could go sideways really fast and then this franchise isn’t prepared to course correct midseason.
Waldron took a guy that was largely thrown to the NFL QB scrap heap and turned him into a top 10 QB.
A rookie like CW with no bad NFL level habits yet will be easier to get to the top 5
that's not hard milestone to acheive lol
You said the same thing about Mitch and Fields . Are these guys paid by the team ?
nope jay cutler 🙌
Of course, if even one ball hits the ground in training camp, both Dans will be crying like they lost their firstborn child...
For 58 years bear down
Dan - you are wearing the rose colored glasses.....Caleb is not the wonder you keep saying he is - in fact, people that have studied everyone of his games and the all 22 reviews express big time concerns - poor footwork leading to balls that sail (poor deep ball accuracy); failure to throw receivers open or anticipate; progression skills stunted by simple college O; holding on to the ball forever while missing open receivers and difficulty playing on time. Great arm talent; lightening fast release - but not necessarily NFL level game.
Who are these "people"? I think you are getting him confused with Justin Fields.
Who's said those things? What is your sources where you have this info?
@@cyberpunk6441 His source is himself and other Fields' man crush fans.
We need to see the success on the field before saying how good he’s going to be.
He could get injured or just need some time adjusting to the nfl too. I’m not going to roast him if the bears aren’t great this year. But there is a lot of promise.
If Caleb’s a bust can we agree that a lot of these “experts” need to be fired immediately?
3rd place
My only concern about Williams is that he likely has not been seriously met any worthy competition, Not sure he will react well to serious competition.
Just another bust until CHI wins. All hot air.
"Are they ready", stupid question because you don't have nothing else to talk about
🤮🤮🤮
Man let’s play a down…..all the hype is bull……
the bears have a very high ceiling but very low floor since they have a rookie quarterback, a bad D line and also a very mediocre running game. If the QB in the passing game, don’t pan out in the Bears could easily lose a lot of games.
1000 yard rusher. Decent d-line and qb at worst will be the same as the idiot last year.
@@TheSjuris
To continue playing devils advocate:
- Swift has an injury history and 1K rusher isnt that impressive. The issue is that if our passing game isnt good then its very doubtful that our running game or a running back is gonna carry this team like josh jacobs or D Henry.
- If sweat got injured our Dline would prob really really struggle
- I love caleb and was not a fields fan at all, but we never know how bad a rookie QB can be.
i think the Bears should be fine but i wouldnt be surprised if they struggle. The Bears are very weak at QB & Dline Depth and QB and Dline are the engine of a football team.
They are very deep everywhere else.
If our Mike is out then sandborn takes over.
If our CB is out we have 2 or 3 guys that can start.
If DJ is out then we still have 2 other #1's.
If kmet is out then Everett takes over
Our oline now has Kiran and Bates who can fill in everywhere.
But when it comes to QB and passrush, the Bears are still very very very green/weak.
@@shake6321 thank god we have both Herbert and Johnson at hb. Most teams don’t need a Jacobs or a Henry. This is a passing league. There is only one veteran qb on the market and he isn’t know for being a team player. Any team is going to struggle if qb1 is out. This wasn’t the draft for pass rushers and the one we did draft has lots of potential. We were a top 5 to top 10 defense last year with Sweat for half the season. This isn’t a league for 1000 yard rushers most teams use 2-3 hbs we led the league in rushing last year. This team is designed to allow growing pains from a qb and still win. Good defenses allow that to happen. All we need is Caleb to ve a little better than Fields at passing. He should be we have enough WRs and tes to make sure that someone is always open.
@@TheSjuris I agree with you. but you are missing my point. my point is that are upside is great but our downside is very very low. and yet everyone is talking about upside and forgetting that there can always be a downside.
if caleb plays well and if sweat is healthy the bears can be very competitive.
if caleb plays like a rookie and sweat gets injured then we are fucked.
We dont have a great RB or running game. (johnson & herbert are not great backs whatsoever). they aint jacobs, saquon, henry, cmac, etc who can carry a team.
If Jordan Love gets injured then GB will hand the ball off to jacobs 25 times a game.
if gary gets hurt they have LVN and others to take on the burden.
this is why i am tempering my expectations.
"we led the league in rushing last year"
thats cuz of fields. our backs are not really that good. they are easily the 3rd worst in the division.
"All we need is Caleb to be a little better than Fields at passing"
this is not true at all.
almost every QB that made the playoffs last year averaged 30 TD and 4K yards. the odds of williams doing that are prob 5%.
I also dont think this defense is nearly as good as people think they are. they dont have the pass rush to be elite and will have to mix and match dline to look good.
@@shake6321 the Tampa 2 is never really a pass rush defense it’s a defense that if given a lead makes it hard for teams to score quickly. Jacob’s averaged 3.5yds per carry last year which is bad. If Love gets hurt GB is just like us dead in the water. Same with Detroit if Goff got hurt. The team has made it so a 30td season from a rookie qb is quite actually plausible. Something that never would ever happen with Fields. Any team loses their qb and they are fucked regardless of the hb. If Jacob’s gets get hurt, GB is beyond fucked. Henry is old, Cmac is a weapon not a guy who is going to rush for 1500yds a season. There wasn’t a de to draft in the top 10 that’s why nobody took a defensive player until 15 and that player has neck injuries. There is no reason to expect Sweat to get hurt can’t fix everything in one offseason. Johnson is in his second yr we still don’t know what his full potential is and Herbert is a weapon when healthy. This isn’t the 1980’s teams don’t run the ball even 50% of the time much. I’ll take Swifts product last year over Jacob’s and his 3.5yrds per carry he isn’t Jones this was a downgrade. I’ll take out receiver group over just about anyone else’s in the league. If the Bears can get a lead the defense should be able to keep it. Our new DC is a lot more aggrieved with the linemen.
Why is this dude Bernstein a bears writer. Always negative. Just like Carmen vitaili. Just pump our fans up. Be excited to have the best offense in bears history. FIRE this guy already. I will not subscribe to this channel because of him.
Jeremiah trotter Jr is on a be a pro bowler. Still on the board when you take a Punter. Not even a Kicker but a punter. What an awful draft pick.
Can you please tell me where Jeremiah Trotter would play if we drafted him? I will wait...
@@DJProphetNMgood question. I’m not familiar with Trotter Jrs game but the bears will be looking for a replacement Mike linebacker soon… Tremaine is not who we thought he was
@@DJProphetNM SAM. He would be an upgrade over Sanborn, who's in the last year of his contract. Tremaine Edmunds is good to miss at least 2 games a year to injury (8 in the last 3 years), so you could flex him to MIKE and start Sanborn at SAM.
I am not an expert on how good prospects will be, but I have a 99% accuracy in predicting QB's being busts.....and your boy Fields(who I predicted would suck in the NFL) will be a better Bear's QB than Caleb...he can't read defenses at the pro level. Take the biggest game of his life, the horrible loss in the college playoffs. What were his stats with a team that had top tier college talent...atrocious....and you do not have anything close comparitively to USC's talent. He will be a bust...probably should have taken Daniels
USC isn't loaded with talent the only other player that was draft worthy was Rice. USC had the worse defense in football. What specific stats was atrocious and what games?
Often said "Chicago Bears, is where QB's go to die" Let's see if one of the worst Offensive Line in 2023 can protect him.
Looking forward to the ESPN Bears schedule commercial. Fields and Mooney are gone leaving Kyler Gordon and Patrick Scales. Instead of Mr Beefs maybe they will skit at Ditka's. 🐻⬇️🧆🏝️
