As a Bears fan, I can't remember the last time I have been excited to watch our OFFENSE lol
Probably the first ever lmao
Early 2010s Cutler and the boys 😭😭
Rex Grossman 😂
First time for sure
2013 the Bears scored the second most points in the league... Problem was, the defense was tied for 2nd most points scored against them.
We’re shedding the 85’ skin, and stepping into the modern NFL 🐻⬇️
about time man jeez you guys stink
I mean not really tho . The bears have been owned by the same family since the start .George Halas was the founder of the bears and his daughter who is 92 owns it now since 1983 when he passed . That’s why they’ve always been trash
@@Zayb3lllas a lifelong Bears fan I agree with you. However, this current roster and the way we’ve drafted is completely different than moves we’ve made in the past which is our point. This is a different approach that leans towards today’s offense and not the normal defense first attitude.
@@donaldonar5891 because in the past we didn’t have a 2 picks in the top 10. Also we never actually have fields a real chance .
@@Zayb3lll we drafted fields, that was his chance. I agree that he hasn’t had the best roster and he shouldn’t have been thrown in the fire against Cleveland, but on FAR too many occasions he’s shown the inability to read basic coverages, throw receivers open, touch passes, and he holds the ball entirely too long which reflects on our O Line. Is Caleb Williams being drafted into a better situation? Yes. However, Justin has been given 38 chances and now it’s time to move on. Bear Down!
Bears fans yall gotta helluva team on paper ngl
And on the field watch
Louis Riddick has been so wrong about the bears for years. He used to hype us up each year but I guess he finally switched sides now 😂 can’t really blame him
When he didn’t get the GM job. Now he a Bears hater
guys a clown def a bears hater 🤡🤡
@@bryanroman4182 he tried to get the Steelers job too
That's exactly what it is. @@bryanroman4182
I swear man dude is the biggest Bear hater of them all bruh it’s a shame! All during the pre draft he was talking about how bad our history is and we should take Jayden over Caleb! Because they wanted Caleb to go to the Commanders since he’s from D.C dude is a clown I don’t listen to 💩 he got to say! Then he says he is a big Caleb fan but but on every other show he goes against Caleb every single time lol! And this dude wonders why he isn’t a GM he wouldn’t last saying he would take Jayden over Caleb lol he’s a clown!
Moore, Allen and Odunze. I can’t think of another team I would trade the top 3 receivers for.
That’s before I mention Kmet, Everett, Swift, Herbert and Johnson; They’re loaded at skill positions in a way I can’t recall.
I think my Bears are finally coming out of hibernation 😂😂😂
SAS is not a steelers fan!
NOT WHATSOEVER
THANK YOU! was looking for this comment! SAS is clown when it comes to being a fan!
??
Because he’s objective I’m a bears fan I can’t wait for the Steelers to put in Fields for the world can see he is very flawed. Our offense is better and our defense is soild wtf are yall talking about.
We don’t claim him
I'm a lifelong Chicago resident and the Bulls on the 90 s were amazing but no matter what chicago is a BEARS TOWN
Lou Riddick has been hating hard on the Bears since he couldn't get the GM position. He needs to let that go.
Also since they fired his best friend Nagy
He sticks up for bears a lot during the season though
Russell Wilson has only had one bad season lol🤦🏿♂️
So tired of hearing about Sid Luckman
Fields could have a hall of famer at every single spot on his o line and it’s not going to change the fact that his drop back slow, his processing is slow and his release is slow
Exactly I’ve been saying this 💯
Bears trash dnt blame qb for whole team being trash
People that say otherwise watched highlights and not all 22s..
Hes not improved even a bit as a passer since getting drafted
@@MuscleTech__ na QB trash too one of the worst in the leagues. Stroud had less and as a rookie went to the playoffs learn ball lil bro
The same guy in Louis Riddick told us that KP was talented as well hahaha
who is KP?
@@Oogaboogaoogaoogaassuming Kenny Pickett
Jury is still out on kenny picket. Steelers offensive coordinator sucked
@@OogaboogaoogaoogaKenny Powers
We don’t know how talented he is yet. He had a shitty offensive coordinator alongside him.
I just can't see Fields or Wilson really being a top-12 quarterback. Riddick feels like he has some disdain for Chicago. wackadoo.
I think it's because we passed on him as gm
Steelers don't need a top 12 QB to be successful.
@@alexamerling79 Steelers did too
Bears passed on him for GM, and the Bears didn't support his Maserati Mitch which made him look dumb for liking Mitch over Mahomes and Watson.
Don’t need them to be top 12. As long as they are not 40th and last in every major stat for QB then it is an automatic upgrade
Louis Riddick and all them are choosing to be ignorant for the sake of arguments because ain’t no way he believes that. I’m glad he got cut off while talking because he was talking crazy.
The Bears have better skill position players on offense and it's not even close. Moore, Allen, Odunze, Kmet, Everett, Swift, Herbert...
No they don't. Keenan Allen - and that's it.
DJ Moore ain't better than Pickens & rookies are rookies - we'll wait and see.
Neither your TE room nor your RB room, is superior.
I can see the argument for pickens over moore although i’d argue dj is a more complete receiver. But Kmet and Gerald everett in the bears TE room is miles clear of muth and darnell washington
Better 0-line too. 3 rookie's aren't going to solidfy an o-line in year 1. He's putting too much weight in that. Also arthur smith sucks as an OC.
@@rodneybrooks4792wr and te rooms are BOTH better than the Steelers bud. No question. Hopefully you guys hurry up n start Fields so he can blow games for you in the 4th qtr. Steelers QB room is a dumpster of QBs nobody wanted 😂
@@chrisloos_ Arthur Smith didn't suck as an OC, Top 10 actually. Bears line wasn't better last year, and it definitely won't be this year.
The Bears kind of have a Houston vibe going on. Two great top 10 picks should jump start their offense.
That and their picks did feel like they're headed in the right direction. People treated the Bears like the Panthers but Chicago been making plenty of moves since the off-season. Truly planning for the future
I could see that.. but unlike Houston if the Bears have a good season is going to be because they're kind of flying a little bit under the radar.. this is more of a "prove it" season for them.. the Bears aren't gonna get nearly the respect as Houston did last season until they prove it
Every year they swear the Steelers will go last in the division and we somehow end up in first or second.
Every single year 💯
Dawg all this video did was gas up the steelers. Youre inventing haters in your own head lol
Dudes trying to convince me that an offense called by Arthur smith and qb’d by Russ or Bustin Fields is better than the bears😂😂😂😂
Your offense has sucked for a decade 😂
@@jessefay4984 so? They’re discussing rn going into next season. How does the past matter at all be serious
@@jessefay4984 so has the Steelers offense
@@yahcrackdefinitely not a decade
Bears sucked your whole life 😂😂
As a Texans fan, I cant wait for both these teams to go face to face.
Easily the best receiving cores in the league
Why? They don't play in the regular season. It would have to be in the Super Bowl.
@@wrongturn5089 bears play them in Houston this year buddy
I thought you were talking about the Steelers lol
Fans from other teams who think that this is the same old Bears team and predicting that Caleb will be a bust are like little kids trying to convince themselves that there is no monster under the bed! 😂
I'm not a Bears fan but Caleb Williams will break every franchise record the Bears have! I know they say he's like Mahomes, but he's really a Black John Elway lol. His arm talent is Elite, just wait
So you've reached dallas levels of delusional
Its not that I think Caleb Williams won't pan out, I am more concerned that the bears won't cultivate him correctly. For as good as caleb williams is, he still has to learn and develop.
@@elongatedmusketgun9185 This isn't the same organization. The owners actually got out of their own way and didn't just hire a bunch of yes men. They actually hired people who know football and allowed them to tear this team down and rebuild it the right way.
I think caleb will be good, but can I see him play a snap of nfl football? Calling him mahomes already is crazy
As a Chicago Bears fan, I'm still feeling uncertain about how we're gonna perform in the 2024-2025 NFL season--even with the drafting of Rome Odunze & Caleb Williams.
Louis got cut off at the end 😂
That's because I'm convinced ai cuts and posts these videos.
Bears have won 10 games in 2 years. Steelers won 10 games last year alone, with no QB & the worst OC in football.
Bears have blown up their staff and started over, every year for a half decade. New OC & new DC - and a rookie QB?! 😂
Lastly, the Bears have no line. The skill positions are sexy - but the trenches leave alot to be desired on both sides.
The bears have no line? Just say you don’t watch our games
And our HC is basically the DC because he’s calling plays
@@chrissmith4993 That's correct. Unfortunately, I do watch your games. I live here in Chicago, and I'm way more familiar with them than I'd like to be. 😂
@@chrissmith4993 And? Just one more example of a poorly run team. Your HC was a DC in Indy, so it wasn't a stretch.
@@rodneybrooks4792 lol then you’ll know that our line isn’t the best. But it’s decent enough for Caleb to succeed
As a Chicagoan . I wish we could've kept Fields . And the Two Lottery Picks
The only similarities both these teams have struggled was the QB. Bears: they went through multiple quarterbacks and only had 2 Pro Bowlers in that position that is (Sid Luckman & Mitch Trubisky) however, they struggle on thinking is QB the right solution for the organization. Results: new coaching staff, gm, and president throughout the years. Players leave or get traded becoming less valuable or get a player's contract just to eat money, even letting the QB walk away in free agency. Steelers: This is a winning organization, great history on quarterbacks only (Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger.) Results: The team hasn't found an answer on the position while Big Ben retired. This team drafts the right players into their system, make trades for upgrades in any positions and resign their own players. Results: this team was never below .500. Tomlin now has 2 true veteran QB's in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields went blue and orange to black and yellow lol and can compete in the division. Overall, both teams have a future of Caleb Williams and Justin Fields in the league. Whose, in a better situation it's 100% Chicago.
Amazing the selective memory Louis has. Did he forget that the Bears DC quit a few games into the year and Flus had to be HC and DC? Gives Arthur Smith the pass for being both HC and the play caller but nothing for Flus, when Flus was HC and play caller. He actually did better than the year before. Louis is sticking with the "JD will be better than CW" take to the death.
I like how they cut Louis off at the end.. He root with us we lose, he rooting against us.. Now we will win..🤷🏿♂️
It would be crazy if they end up in a super bowl against each other
Growing pains will become stomach pains
Going from matt Canada to arthur smith is the definition of a lateral move
Keenan Allen wr2 had better stats than Pickens last year. Gerald Everett TE2 had better stats last year than Friermouth. Kmets and moores stats are in the hundreds of yards better stats. So how again is that a better situation?
Apparently in the unproven rookie O line.
i do agree the bears hv a better situation for qb but u don't realize that pickett was throwing these guys the ball... also pat was injured for a large chunk of the year. Also the steelers have a much better o line and running game not that the bears don't have their leading rusher in fields
@@HouseofDimes How do you know how good the line is? They're all rookies!
He also had Justin Herbert and we had Mason Rudolph 😂😂😂horrible comparison
Keenan Allen was a number 1 wide receiver for the chargers plus Williams was out for the season so he was the main target for them & he put up 108 catches & 1243 yards Pickens had 1,140 yards & only had 63 catches if Pickens had a good QB last year he doubles that amount & puts up better numbers then Allen
Why?! The world has had enough of J. FIELDS VS. C. WILLIAMS....WHHHHY?!
To say you’ll take Caleb over Justin n Wilson when he hasn’t played a snap yet is krazy af yall on that man meat …. Chill out he ain’t played a snap yet
Glazing hard !!
Id take Kyle Orton over them 2
even if he's average that makes him better than fields
it’s hilarious how doggie acts like he’s 1000 years old 😭😭
finally can play the bears on madden and be excited lol
Louis Reddick has had the Bears back so much over the years, you really can’t blame him 😂 He like, I’ll be damned if I keep getting crucified for riding with Chicago
I'm a Bears fan who was all in on Justin Fields. He was my guy and I was disappointed to see him go. His jersey still hangs in my wardrobe and I wish him every success in the future. I believe that the Steelers may just have the best 1-2 QB situation in football, especially if they can make things work for Russ. That said, we move on, and Caleb Williams is a remarkable talent. If they can protect him enough, behind an unproven offensive line, I believe that this could be an amazing rookie season for Caleb, and he could break all sorts of QB records for the Bears. Regardless, both teams should be a lot better, albeit in really tough divisions. Somebody is going to miss out on the playoffs with a really good record, because the Norths are really stacked with talent.
With our weapons Caleb doesn't have to be special every down just get the ball out of your hands on time and don't turn the ball over and we should win 3 or 4 more games than last yr. If our defense can play like we did end of the yr all yr then we will be tough to beat.
This Pickens slander is crazy. Pickens had 1100 yards with Pickett throwing. Justin Fields and Russ can get him 1100 in 10 games
Mad dog looking like Judge Judy brother. 😂😂😂
Lol idk about taking the rookie over Fields and Russ 😂 that's wild. He could be the next Lamar or Mahomes sure, but he could also be the next Pickett/Malik/Zach Wilson.... like come on now.v
Bears fans are becoming just like cowboys fans😭🤣
You realize Caleb is a significantly better prospect than all the players you mentioned tho?
@@ldgh47 you say that and CW hasn't stepped on a NFL field 😭🤣
He merely stated better prospect... that's without question.
@@evileyevalaus hence him using the word prospect
Chicagos offense is way better. Odunze is better than Roman Wilson, Keenan Allen is better than George Pickens and DJ Moore is better than Van Jefferson. Also wasn’t Darnell Wright picked before Broderick Jones? Wasn’t Justin traded in order to select Caleb? I also think Kmet is a better tight end than Freiermuth, look at the stats. Just asking
Did you really just say Keenan Allen is better than George Pickens ? I need what you smoking
@@hollywood_3926 how can you say pickens is better than allen?
Louis Riddick still mad we didn’t give him the GM job💀
better QB situation is not the same as better situation FOR the QB ... he arguing a different topic
So we really think the Bears has a better quarterback room than Pittsburgh? Caleb is 2 or 3 years away. Good luck!
The Steelers got a washed up Russel and Justin they ain’t going nowhere bro I will take my chances with the Bears lol!
@@billywilliams5394 Good luck! Lol
you're acting like fields is a good qb or something. his passing stats were historically bad in chi. having fields on your team isn't the brag you think it is. it looks like the steelers are making him their kick returner now. maybe he'll be your kordell stewart
Mitchell Trubiski was an all pro. @Steven-A. You're wrong
It’s rare to hear good things from Stephen A with the bears lol
Yeah, you can argue the Bears had a better draft and that's fine. The Steelers, however, did better in terms of rounding out their roster into the better team out of the two. I won't say exactly how good I think the Steelers will be this year but we'll see.
I cant remeber a time where they talk about the bear without the packers next to them
I'm a Steelers fan, so I'm biased: I'll believe in the Bears when they actually do something. Chicago is an organization that I don't have a lot of trust in. I do like it when they trade us high draft picks for bad players, though.
🐻⬇️FGB
Da Bears still suck. Go Pack Go!
What’s interesting is this draft is the guys who were delayed with the “Covid year” so theres a lot of “older” collegiate athletes who can easily transition to the pros. Go Burgh!!
I love what the Bears did this draft/offseason. They did better than my ravens.
No shade on the Bears, I hope they can make a huge run this year make the playoffs and make a splash! But Steelers also never getting the credit they deserve, that's ok, we will be the under the radar make our on splash!
Bears failed Fields on purpose because they didnt draft him. If you know the NFL you know how it works. Dirty game
This is why Riddick doesn't work for an NFL front office
Bears O-Line is gonna cause problems for Caleb.
Center position is better + better depth, plus young tackles will continue to improve
It's a lot better than the Steelers....
That’s a really bad take to say the Chicago bears have never developed a quarterback and go back to the 1940’s. Everyone involved in that is literally passed away or not apart of the organization anymore. If they haven’t noticed it’s completely new ppl for every executive role in the front office.
Louis Riddick still big mad he didn't get the Bears GM job.
The man just got in the lead,lest see he can do .top ten wait to see what he do
I had no idea Caleb Williams was only 6'1, he's a little guy. I always liked Goff was 6'4 I thought Stafford was a little short at barely 6'3.
Caleb better situation because bears defense is awesome
The Steelers defense is better than the Bears wym? lol
@@Pootie_tang97 nope not close
@@jesusm2159 Your crazy lol Go look at the Steelers defensive stats…..their defense literally was the reason they even made it to the playoffs bad QB or not
The defense is worse than Pit but the offense is leagues better already if not solely due to the WR room. Either way the nfc north is going to be the best division in a couple of years.
@@Pootie_tang97 bears defense will show out 2024
It's bears hands down
best team since Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall
Bears have 1 winning season since firing Loviee. Last yr Bears beat 1 team over. 500 the lions. Fluse kept his job beating panthers, commanders, vikings, falcons, cardinals. All those teams suck and were drafting in the top 10 lol. The bears have perfected the art of busting a qb. 2017 keep john fox, draft trubisky. 2018 fire fox.. 2021 keep nagy, draft justin. 2022 fire Nagy.. 2024 keep fluse, draft caleb. 2025 history tells u fluse fired lol
It’s like a solar eclipse for the Bears 🐻 🔼
Too bad the defense still needs some key parts for the bears
Louis Riddick still salty Ryan Poles was hired as GM over him haha
I don't know who decides these questions but they gotta be idiots. Almost every team outside of Chiefs, Bengals, Ravens would want Caleb Williams over their current QB so why is this even a question. Steelers did a great job improving their QB room given their circumstances of NOT having the easy #1 pick choice. Both teams have done a good job surrounding their QBs with talent and improving on that side of the ball. Such a weird comparison.
Riddick has been wrong so many times about Bears I lost count
Pittsburgh is weird right now cause Russ is working on his last year on his contract & steelers just declined JF1 5th yr option so HE is also on his last year of his contract. What if they have a Daniel Jones/NYG situation and they get fooled by either QB, pay 1 for a long term deal and falls off?
Stephen A jinx in full effect.
Bears still have the worst coaching staff and it's not close
Steelers baby ! Steelers nation 🖤💛
Stephen A the Bulls and Knicks and Steelers fam from New York
Heck, Doggy probably watched Sid Luckman play his rookie season.
Riddick is correct!!.. with the Steelers new oline it's gonna be bully ball!! And if both QBs don't work out.. atleast you have an oline that any QB can get behind.. you could even makes some trades for the 2025 draft
Go sit down Louis 😂😂😂
For both squad on papers looks good but as a football fan ima sit and watch it play out on the field bcos at the end of the day you gotta play between the lines. Steelers been making the playoffs the couple years w mediocre qb play and a sick defense. Now they got russ and a revamp offensive line and a good wr room and running game. Bears also look good on paper as far as offensive weapons but bear qb is a rookie that hasn’t play a single snap in the NFL. Let’s sit back and watch these two teams play first
Osos . En papel estamos al 100 ahora al campo aver .
I think the Bears did a great job upgrading their talent and even improving the offensive line from last year that being said the Steelers also did a great job improving their offensive line and championships are won in the trenches. Both teams did a good job on that bears have more skill positions I would love to see both of these teams in the NFC Championship that would be fantastic
Let me guess a rookie who has never taken a snap has no veteran back up aka Joe Flacco or someone who has the ability to help him navigate the Pro game will be the best QB for a team that has finished last multiple times in the NFC North, and the other NFC North teams only got better yet somehow they will be better than a team that made the playoffs last year with a back up QB and a terrible attitude from their now traded #1 WR??
Yea ESPN is hitting that Bong with a lot of intent
You know what they say when you got two quarterbacks
"Would you trade fields and wilson for Williams? The GM would rush to the phone." What kind of stupid question is that?
Guy on far right is literally a skip clone 😂😂😂😂 why does he position his posture exactly like skip and his facial expression’s
And Still To This Day I’m A Justin Fan! Just Wish He Had The Weapons & We Had A Better Line. This New Offense We Have, I’m Ready To Watch! Early Prop Bet, Bears To Make The Playoffs! +225
Just because the Bears didn't hire you Lewis you don't have to pick against them
Not a bears fan but I can see them winning their division easy!
Bet the "OVER" now on 9 wins for the season. That's easy.
In Justin Rookie Season he Had a Super MVP and Andy Dalton as his Mentors and he was a Spoiled Brat to them. Try again...
Louis is not bald and that helps
Chicago will be over .500, Pittsburgh will be under. The Steelers will be drafting a qb next year.
As much as i hate tomlin that's not happening
You drunk 😂😂 never been under 500 since 2002😂 we won 10 games last season with Rudolph and Mitch trushutsky 😂😂😂nice try tho
@@THFC8 Tomlin has NEVER developed a QB successfully, and that dumpster diving you did isn't going to change that.
@@THFC8 Tomlin is Barry Switzer Jr. Ain't never won anything with his team except mid round draft picks. Congratulations.
@@73ajd1 have the bears?😂
Did Stephen A. Smith all of a sudden become a rapper. Wtf is up with the necklace 😆
This Bears team is the best team in NFL history
Pitt did their job to keep everyone out of that backfield.........
Justin fields will probably have a better out coming sense he has already played in this league l. Now we do all know q’bs have not produced well in the bears organization. It will be great to see if Caleb can change but man it’s hard to say he will change that franchise especially being in the nfc north they have some stacked teams
What happens when the Steelers go 9- 8 and get blown out in the first round..Just run it back with Tomlin because he never had a loosing season?
It appears reddick is off the bears train so stay there my good brother
I get the hype for the Bears, but don't they say this everytime they draft a new QB, Caleb does have a chance to be great and I hope he does, but they have had receivers before and a decent team on paper but let's not overlook there history, it isn't about the players it's about the organization and coaching development, the Bears have been known for Defense First over Offense
