Wow. I feel like I just watched an ESPN or sports center documentary, great editing/great dialogue and just overall, an amazing video, I’m definitely subbing 🤙
Thank you, Adrian! We appreciate the feedback and will put out more content like this in the near future. Is there anything you’d like to see?
I can't leave a comment I assume unless I subscribe...Well, tell him he got a down vote. Also tell him to stop being a pussy
@@firstteamfootball Yeah, this was a really really well put together video. This channel definitely has the talent to be a major informative platform. Look forward to more content
Im guessing the bears should have drafted marino…
@@RobynHood1021You know, even without a Super Bowl win... Or a Super Bowl... I'm guessing he probably is glad to have had what he did in Miami. VS whatever could have happened here. IDK, just guessing 😁
Hester’s return in the opening of the Super Bowl was unreal. The amount of flash photography used is something will probably never see again.
INSANE! A truly historical moment
Felt like an earthquake was happening around the city.
It may be a long time before we see the opening kick off of the Super Bowl returned. We will see how the new kick off rules change that
Worst franchise in sports.
@@Ghostedfaet did that comment make you feel better lil guy?
Passing over Rodgers was like the Browns passing over Roethlisberger as the guy each passed over went on to personally torture that team and the fanbase for many many years.
Tbf Rodgers was a late 1st round prospect and the Bears had the 4th pick. Of course hindsight is always 20:20 though
At least we got Cedric Benson
Yes Rodgers was a huge pain, but imagine Marino with the '80s defenses. Could've been the greatest dynasty ever besides the Patriots.
I think passing over Lamar was worse, for everybody. Baker Mayfield, the Browns, & Lamar himself. The Ravens seem to resent having an élite QB (especially the cost). The Browns meanwhile chased after The Worst QB Option & over-paid him.
All of this could have been avoided had they chosen Lamar.
cabal williams could be another in a long line of BUSTS for the bears.
cabal whining over his rookie contract is not a good sign, as this many times indicates a player that has little interest in the game....only money.
Wow, clicked on this video fully expecting it to be a bears teardown session. watched what felt like an espn 30 for 30 documentary, then be surprised when i see this channel only has 724 subscribers. hats off to this channel. definitely deserves more. you got one more sub today and i look forward to more football breakdowns like this in the future.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words and sub! While not every story is always a positive one, we try to find bright spots, and pride ourselves on sticking to stats, the facts and telling stories in a digestible way. If there’s any content you’d like to see in the future, let us know!
@@firstteamfootballThat's even better! Show us all the good, bad, and ugly. Even if it's my team not passing to Marshawn😭🤣✌️ Looking forward to what you bring!
Thank you! Glad to have you on board!
If you want, I can tear them down. You remember when Mac Jones was discovered to be Seeking Advice outside the Pats? If Bellichick had responded to that With Silence we'd all know Jones was on the way out, right? Well?
Fields called out his coaches publicly after week 7 of '22. What did *their silence* indicate? The Exact Same Thing. But because this indicated that the Bears were betraying We The Fans as well as Fields, everyone seems to have gone into denial over it.
Well, let me remind you of what you "forgot" while in denial. 1) "The Bears _had to call_ for Fields to Not Throw to Certain Receivers on Certain Plays to simplify the offense for him because he Can't Read Defenses." That's the 'reason' Bears fans made up to excuse a play-call that had Zero Chance of succeeding. What's wrong with all this?
First, obviously, if Fields can't read defenses, you're putting his life at risk out there. _Especially_ when you call for your o-line to th-cam.com/video/FiiK21VzI_o/w-d-xo.html let all the pass-rushers through to him. He can't read defenses so he may not run for his life.
2nd, how is forcing Fields to stop mid-play or mid-throw, read a player's jersey #, try & remember whether it's one he's allowed to throw to on that play _then_ throw simpler than throwing to whatever receiver he sees? A real head-scratcher these excuses y'all make up.
2) The You The Fans said "Fields holds onto the ball too long." So now you not only forgot that he was ordered *By His Coaches To* hold onto the ball instead of pass it, it's his fault now. Or should he drop the ball instead of run away from the pass-rushers his coaches order his o-linesmen to run away from? Like they _told us that_ they were moving away from him. You think they spent the next 1.5 years calling plays designed to make their decision look stupid?
3) One can't _unlearn_ to read defenses. So th-cam.com/video/QuhUbISnr8s/w-d-xo.html *proves* he can now & always did read 'em which means that there is No Excuse for calling plays with zero chance of success. Also in weeks 8-10 of '22 & weeks 11, 14-17 of '23 different play sets were called in which Fields was far more efficient & scored more points. The 3-game streak in '22 he led the Entire NFL in offense proving it was _only_ the play-calling holding him back as he played up with Allen, Mahomes & Burrow when the play0-calling changed.
The last thing is someone spliced Fields' college highlights into a video with Caleb Williams'. It's no surprise to me, but what do you know? Fields th-cam.com/video/5JO1PsupF_U/w-d-xo.html is a better rusher _AND_ more accurate passer who scrambles & makes throws on the run & at weird arm angles better in the NFL than Caleb has done so far in college.
This team is _great!_

The Bears don't have a qb problem they have a development and coaching problem
Yeah they cannot develop quarterbacks to save their life . Jim McMahon was an average quarterback that had an awesome defense .
They had an OC and HC problem for Cutlers entire tenure.
Thats why they got shane waldron. I mean the guy made geno smith a franchise QB
Its funny. Im not a bears fan, but I never saw them as one of the worst franchises. It was always baffling how they continued to screw at QB. Even more so than the lions did for years. They're really a representation of how far defense and a strong run game can take you.
We've wasted many great teams by having sub par QB play, and we also like to run QBs out of town who have potential.
The Lions used to screw up at QB too until they got Matthew Stafford.
Justin Fields was not the “wrong” QB, the team was never built for him to succeed, the offense was never stable (he literally had a new coach every year)
Yea
But his contract was big so if he played 1 more year he would get paid 40 million dollars
I hope caleb does something
@@SammyPlayZ7I’d pay him that over what the qb market is growing to be. Hopefully Caleb lives up to the hype
Nah he buns for real
I see a lot of people say “how do you not have more subscribers” on other channels. But with this channel, that statement couldn’t be more true…
Like this video was amazingly edited and high quality. If you keep this content up it’s only a matter of time for you to get more noticed. I get to say I was here when you were a smaller channel 🤭
That means a ton to our team! Thank you for being one of the first 💯
This auto played after i watched another video and i thought it was a NFL Films production. This is insanely well done. Instant subscription from me. You are extremely talented. Keep up the amazing work.
Wow! That is extremely high praise and we’re humbled you feel that way. Thank you for the sub. We’ll be putting out more content like this in the future so stay tuned!
At least this time we can’t be BLAMED for picking Caleb if he stinks . Picking him was the conventional wisdom at the time.
Nah drake is better than

Wow! Thank you very much for the kind words. The million sub speed run starts now 😂😂
It never fails to irritate me when McMahon is spoken of like he was a winner by circumstance. When I go back and watch the '85 games (all are online, except Game 3 (???...) I see one darn good QB in McMahon. That guy was a heck of a QB, I don't care what anybody says. I've been watching them most of my 60 years, there have been a few truly bad ones.
Agree. Injuries plagued him for most of his career.
Jim was tough as hell and really fit the bears well. He was a good qb.
He really wasn’t that good though…
@@mitchcolburn1216 he really was though your just a closet bears hater
@@POPToppins He was mid on a good day. I’m neutral on the Bears.
Great video!
As a Bears fan I will come right out and say it. They have an ownership problem! This is where players and coaches come to die. They can't draft well. The scout's evaluation of the talent is poor. Playing quarterback for the Bears is like a suicide mission. They have lacked an offensive line for 2 decades. Sure, we could have drafted better as the video shows, but those more recent picks would not have florished here. It would have been more of the same, injuries upon injuries. If you can't protect your quarterback, you have nothing....
I wondered about this. While I don't watch the Bears, it's my husband's team, I have said to him it is the front office that is the problem. The talent scouting, the guys in charge of who to pick, that the Bears cannot assess talent.
I grew up in KC. I grew up with the Chiefs. My team. I watched a video about the guy who discovered Mahomens. In 2017, Veech was the guy watching the tapes and the talent. He was suppose to assess a guy on the same team at Texas Tech as Mahomes. He found himself drawn to the QB. He began a campaign for getting this kid. But, it was a year before Mahomes even declared. Still, Veech wanted him and told Andy Reid he was the next Goat. So when he declared the Chiefs were sold on him and move mountains to get him. The only real thing in their way was the Bears. They had the 2nd draft pick and The Chiefs traded big stuff to get to 10th pick. Breath was held until the Bears announced Trubitski.
The Bears long needed a Veech in their scouting and then listen to him.
This was amazing, great work! As a bears fan, I am cautiously optimistic about Williams. Although as you have pointed out in the video, this isn’t the first time I have thought that ‘we found our guy’. I hope he is different!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it. Williams definitely has the potential to be a real difference maker
The Bears didn't have a 4000 yd QB because their main focus has always been defense.
Dreadful front office is the problem that's been the curse. Not just bad coaching. Bad recruitment look at the list of QBs they past up on. Jim Finks was the best GM bears have had. He even past up greats QBs like Dan Marino. Ryan Poles would have drafted him & Rodgers. Poles is different. Caleb Williams time.
It goes one level higher than the front office. The TEAM OWNERS don't care. The Halas-McCaskey family have been coasting off their ONE Super Bowl win from 40 years ago. The only thing will save the Bears is to sell the team.
Soooo good! Your editing and narration are awesome. While the Bears have struggled, hopefully they are heading in the right direction and their new face of the franchise can turn things around! Thanks for a great video and can’t wait to see what you post next!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully Caleb works out for the bears
Speaking as a bears fan. The problem with the bears starts at the top and I fear that we won't see any kind of success until the mccaskeys sell the team
Yep. The franchise has no clue how to develop QB. Mahomes Brady any QB you name would have failed here.
@@AmateurSynthusiast I liked Fields. I thought all of his issues with holding the ball too long and reading a defense better could've been fixed but we had an incompetent coaching especially OC Luke Getsy at the time. He might be the worst OC the Bears have had in my lifetime.
@@brockstar1461 remember John Shoop? (sp) lol
I'm so damn glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. The McCaskey family is cancerous to this team.
Not a Bears fan but loved the excellent documentary style..damn good stuff!
Thank you! Who’s your team?? We’ll be making more of these in the future
This was done better than any major media outlet could do it
Thank you, Kyle!!
I didn’t know McMahon was chill like that…
😭😭😭
McMahon was THEE MAN! Cooler than ice on Pluto
It amazes me as to how many QBs this organization has gone through. As the old saying goes hindsight is 20/20. You look back at all the missed opportunities at the QB position and you shake your head. Now we enter the Williams Era and I for one am optimistic and look forward to staying with one QB for the next decade. Bear down. Great video.
INSANE.......where did this first team football team come from haha? this feels like an ESPN 30//30 documentary.....good work gentlemen. I am now avidly waiting for y'alls next video
Thanks brother. We put a ton of time into this one. Just 3 guys who love football and want to share it with the world in a way nobody has done before.
I think a big problem with the Bears is the team tends to hire defensive minded head coaches vs coaches with an offensive mindset who could draft and develop its quarterback. The Packers traded for Farve and drafted Rodgers and Love…but since the 90s the Packers have hired offensive minded coaches.
I think you're kind of right, but it's worth pointing out that 2 of their last 4 coaches were offensive-minded coaches, and 3 of the 8 coaches they've had since 1980 were offensive-minded.
They skew defensive, but not drastically.
I certainly won't claim that Trestman and Nagy were offensive geniuses, but they were at least offensive guys.
Remember…even Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi were offensive coaches.
So Williams is a great talent he has showed that in high school and college as a life long Bears fan since the early 80s I hope he is that guy ..But my guy is Ryan Poles he hands down changed the culture and I trust in Poles ..BEARDOWN BABY

You deserve way more subscribers. Awesome video
Sid Luckman enters the chat... "excuse me?" 😀
Seriously 😂
He said 7 decades.
It has, in fact, been 70 years.
😭🙏🏼
Beautiful. I shedded a tear.
Caleb has to be just above average to be the greatest qb in bears history. Thats kind of crazy
Just above average was Trubisky. He has to be better than that.
@@MFBloosh if trubisky was above average he would still be a starter.
Honestly, McMahon was an above average quarterback. People talk about him as if he was a run of the mill, satisfactory QB with nothing special or noteworthy around him, who succeeded because he played on a team that made it easy for him. And while I agree that Jim was never a star caliber quarterback, he was better than people give him credit for. He was a pretty talented player.
This was truly outstanding. It illustrates much about being a Bears fan over the past several decades.
The production quality of this video is top shelf. Subscribed and liked. Keep it up!
Thank you for the sub!! More videos like this on the way
The fact that this channel has under 2000 subs is insane to me. Really looking forward to see this channel explode.
Thank you! We appreciate the support!
Thank you for giving Payton his props
He deserves em! An all time great
The 85 Bears defense were like " if we cant have a qb, we'll kill yours"
Every time the bears select a new QB, drink. What a video man, good job. Cheers
😂😂😂 based on the QB counter alone, you’d be in for one hell of a night!
@@firstteamfootball😂😂
Thank God they decided to take the best prospect instead of passing up on him again. Many wanted to keep Fields. They FINALLY broke the cycle. Caleb is a leader and has the same winning attitude that Derrick Rose had when he was the youngest to ever win the MVP award. LETS FREAKING GO!!!!🐻⬇️
Subbed and shared on facebook. Hope you get more followers. Bears defense looks dominant again. Maybe you can make a video on the history of the Bears defense.
yaa. looking back at history, many fans wanted to foolishly do what the bears have done for 40 years. keep an awful qb and hope he magically gets better.
Anyone else here after watching the Bears Hard Knocks?
Yeah...we're gonna be just fine this season and many more to come.
Its OUR time, Bears fans...
My husband and his brother are so excited for this year. This guy has an arm. I had to smile -as I usually do - when they show the 2017 draft. Passing over Mahomes was the best thing for my hometown team to happen. But, not so much for my husband's team. For years he has been thinking it is a new start and then it busts. But, this guy, Williams, is gonna be the best thing for the Bears.
Great video! As a lifelong bears fan (since ‘95), all the memories of shitty QB, after shitty QB came flooding back. By pointing out the Bears lack of being proactive at the position despite having a “QB” already, makes me feel even more confident in them drafting Caleb Williams. I’m cautiously optimistic, but we will see how it turns out in a few years.
I love my Chicago bears regardless of what people say or think go bears 🧡💙☺️💯
This was great ! Can tell you took your time with this
This was a very good video. My husband has been a long suffering Bears fan. I grew up in Kansas City and never lost my affection for the Chiefs and I tend to favor them. Not into the Bears except that I wish my husband could have games to be happy about. He goes and watches with his brother and every week it seems they loose.
This year both are super excited about Williams. I've watched some videos on him and he looks to be the real deal. His throwing reminds me of Jackson. For once it will be a fun year for my husband.
He throws nothing like Lamar but yes go bears
This is what I wanted from tv! Which they delivered some, but not without irritating me😁 Please keep it up, no matter how long it takes! Subbed 👍👍👍 It's like corporate forgot how to people. Glad there's so many sports guys on YT. Gorgeous video!
Thanks for the sub! We’re glad you liked the video and we will certainly be making more like it for the foreseeable future 🤙
@@firstteamfootball Absolutely; well deserved! Discovering the sports people on YT has been amazing, and this was such a great video. Keep it up; I look forward to it all💪✌️🖖
Great vid! As a bit of a football nerd, I appreciate this type of depth!
It's hard to complete passes when you're dodging the entire front line of the other team. The Bears are famous for not having a decent front line. Even McMahon had that problem and ended up with a lacerated kidney and repeated concussions. He currently is suffering from CTE as a result of repeated brain trauma. The pad that all quarterbacks wear around their waists and middle was first introduced for McMahon to protect his kidney and ribs. Even a mediocre quarterback can have a decent game if he isn't getting pounded into the turf play after play. It used to irritate the heck out of me when critics would call McMahon "brittle." He took some incredibly strong hits.
This was incredibly done, ty for sharing
Justin Fields isn’t a failure the franchise is a failure.
Let’s see if they can figure out their QB development with Caleb. Sure hope they can
Naw niga
i agree
If you watch his film you'll see that he lacks football IQ and relies way too much on his legs and strong arm to make plays. It is a combination of both he being a bad QB and bad ownership that led to his failure in Chicago.
@@Blizzard58 thats a cute opinion bro he was making strides caleb has no escuse to fail with the team they have around him justin didnt have the support NO WHERE NEAR the support that caleb has its impossible for caleb to fail with the amount of talent around him but we shall see caleb has the intelect of a child watch and see
I probably speak for most Bear's fans when I say: please, Caleb, be good.
Good video overall but you missed a couple things on the Fields analysis. Dalton was signed first and only signed there because he was promised the starting job. They had no idea they’d be able to draft a qb but made a horrible desperation trade when Fields dropped because Pace and Nagy were lame ducks and thought a young qb might buy them more time. Dalton was not brought in to mentor anyone, but it came out recently that when he and Foles did try to be good teammates and give Fields some pointers he had no interest.
“Faulty pass protection” - the line has been ranked top 10 both of the last 2 years in ESPN pass block win rate%. I’m not making that up, anyone can look it up. That stat measures how often the line holds their blocks for 2.5 sec, when most good qbs have the ball out of there. But as we all know Fields holds the ball for-fing-ever and only got slightly better over time at sensing pressure and/or throwing the ball away. Sorry not sorry to bust everyone’s bubble but most of the sacks were on him.
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Phenomenal points! Justin was in fact drafted to save their jobs, and definitely struggled going through progressions in the passing game. Great insight and we’re glad you enjoyed the video!
I just hope for the Bears' sake that Caleb isnt just Fields 2.0. No doubt this comment will get some backlash, but if you want to see something interesting, look up the long list of USC QBs that have been drafted into the NFL. They were all busts, some of them terrible terrible busts, and all of them highly regarded in scouting reports. The ONE exception being Carson Palmer, who although had a long and fairly consistent career, didnt achieve the HoF, nor will he. That's the only one (You can say Hayden, I disagree). USC has a long history of being a very QB friendly system, and an equally long history of those QBs not being nearly as good in the NFL as they looked in college.
It's not just Darnold, Kessler, Sanchez, Barkley, Leinart or Cassel either. It's a long and storied list. Does that mean Caleb will follow suit? Who knows. Just saying drafting stud QBs from that system has had a very low percentage success rate.
@@Heathcoatman The most tired argument. What in the world does Lincoln Riley's USC team from 2023 have to do with QBs who played at that university 20-30 years ago? I guess the Chiefs should have never drafted Mahomes, because "How many great QBs has Texas Tech produced?"
@@VicInNocal Same thing I heard when Darnold was drafted. Exact same.
Time will tell, results may vary.
@@VicInNocal Tech has had exactly 2 QBs taken before the 6th round in history. The other is Billy Joe, remember him? Me either.
A little different than USC, wouldnt you say? To me the most tired argument is "he was so good in College he is a lock for the NFL"
Two completely different games. When was Brady taken again? I wish Caleb luck.
Sadly as a Bears fan....I know first hand of the mediocrity (at best) at the QB position. The part that's most troubling though isn't the PERSON playing the position....but the way this franchise coaches and treats this position. I truly believe the Bears have had some great players come in to play in Chicago....and were cut down at the knees by horrendous play calling and overall game strategy. I don't think Aaron Rogers or Patrick MaHomes would have had the careers they've had....if they ended up with the Bears. We'll see if this changes with Caleb....but as someone who's seen this many times before.... they'll have to prove it before I'll believe it.
Great production value on this, I enjoyed reliving the pain. Correction, the Bears traded 2 first round picks for Cutler.
20 seconds in and I can tell you’re gonna blow up. You got the voice and editing skills bro
Thank you Michael! It was a collaborative effort and that means a ton to our team. What content would you like to see?
well done. it seems even more insane to me just how many people were kicking and screaming saying the bears should keep fields.
Im not gonna say he doesn’t have flaws but the bears organization didn’t really do him any justice in developing him. To dump him after you finally build a team just doesn’t sit right and we still have to see how they perform
@@dylanbaker9394 the unfortunate business side of the NFL. Justin was a superstar playmaker, but consistently showed he could not elevate those around him.
Once you pay him, the ability to surround him with bonafide talent becomes more difficult. He didn't really prove that he would be able to put the team on his back in that situation.
Instead, we now have Rome, Caleb, Cole, and DJ locked down for the next 4-5 years with plenty of space to sign/re-sign blue chippers.
@@hellonocap7315I think we would’ve had something similar minus Keenan. What’s crazy is thinking Justin was gonna demand top of the market money when he’d have no leverage in doing so. The way I see it, poles was better off letting him go after he almost broke the single season rushing especially if he wasn’t planning on building around him. I like what the surrounded Caleb with but it’s still looking like it’s gone be some issues on the oline yet again
Great video, as a Bears fan, our seemingly eternal QB struggles been a truly maddening thing to deal with over the years... When we drafted Fields, I thought we might finally have our guy, but that didn't work out either. With our improving defense and the weapons we have at all of the skill positions on offense, hopefully Williams will finally be the one to lead us out of QB purgatory. My main worry is the o-line as they've been far less than spectacular the last few years.
DEFINITELY more than “a 5th round pick” making him seem like a throw away. Dude had LEGIT talent and the Bears could never get the line or offensive coordinator right before the badazz defense got old.
You forgot the moment where the Bears lost out to the Steelers for drafting Terry Bradshaw. Going into the draft that year, the Bears and the Steelers had identical records, literally identical everything. So to determine the tiebreaker for who got the first pick, they decided the draft order with a coin toss. Yes the Bears lost out due to a coin toss.
As for Caleb Williams, I would like him to succeed, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Real good video! Thanks for the effort, it's appreciated!
@@vincentperiolat4610 thanks brother, means a lot for you to notice that. We got a lot of good content coming up. Stay tuned
Good god. This is like the most heartbreaking story ever. How sick.
Cutler's wife split after he retired saying he only was watching TV. The man was tired and had MS. I don't think Cutler's wife loved him ever.
Bro this is like a 30 for 30! Keep pumping out great content
Thanks David! We got some good stuff in the works
Cutler deserves more credit, he did what he did with absolutely no O-line. His stats are as good as Aikman if not better. And Aikman had probably the best O-line ever
Fantastic dialog, fantastic voice-over, fantastic animations/graphics, and great content for the entire video. Keep the grind alive 1st Team
Thank you Scott! New one coming out soon
The Bears had 2 talented quarterbacks in MCmahon and Kramer and unfortunately Cutler who can be bothered by winning or excellence. Jim and Eric were really good quarterbacks, unfortunately, they also had terrible injuries that hampered their careers. Caleb Williams is probably the most talented quarterback they have ever had in the history of the franchise, and I have no doubts that he will become the first 4000 yard passer and then some. but the Bears will always be known as a defense as well as a running team. But in this new era of football, they will try a new thing and that is passing more than running, hopefully. Great documentary 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Best video on this topic that I've ever seen. Thanks, Go Bears!
Thanks Dan!
Lifelong Bears fan, lotta hurt in this vid. I remember being optimistic of Rex Grossman LOL I was fully bought in on Fields, he's gone now. hopefully Caleb Williams is that guy cuz if i have to hear Jordan Love saying "I still own you" in 10 to 15 years I'm going to lose my marbles
Excellent Video all said, liked and subscribed
The most beautiful yet painful thing about football is the hope that it brings. Caleb may very well be the answer to decades of waiting. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the sub!
Grossman should have been a great QB but after that initial injury, he lost most of his mobility and had to resort to becoming a pocket passer. Was never his style of play in college at Florida. Watch some of his old college films and you will see what I’m trying to indicate.
My entire block EXPLODED into madness when that double doink occurred. Philly fans thought we were going back to back on bowls almost immediately lol.
And if I remember, Philly went on to win the Super Bowl that season.
That was put together very well, great video!😊
That means a lot. Thank you. What other topics would you want to see ?
@@firstteamfootball being a bears fan I’m obviously biased towards seeing more videos of their top prospects. But any breakdowns where newer talent is shining in pro situations is always nice to see
I’ll believe in Williams when I see it on the field.
Facts, too many people are hyping him up and he hasn’t done anything yet.
As a packer fan these kinds of videos are like my ASMR … sleep like a baby 😊
you might not get a warm welcome from all the other bears fans in the comments
I’m a bit torn with the Bears offloading a QB they drafted in Rd 1 to take another prospect. The Bears don’t do much in the field of QB development from what I’ve seen over the years. I believe this is why they are constantly looking for that franchise QB. I also can’t 100% put the blame on the QBs because in the modern era their offensive line hasn’t exactly been spectacular while at the same time running into injuries. It makes for a terrible situation with Bears QBs. Is Caleb really the answer? No, unless they can find a way to develop what many say is a generational talent.
you don’t really develop qbs or any players. you give them playing time. 3 years is more than enough to know that JF has no idea what he is doing out there.
Those outside Chicago will never understand. For decades, The Bears have marketed themselves as a tough, bruising, defense-first smashmouth team.
To complete this “tough guy” image on the other side of the hall, their offense has always been heavily run-centric and focused more on grinding games out with field goals and the occasional rushing touchdown, then leaning heavily on the defense to do the rest.
This ethos was heavily reinforced in the 80s with the arrival of Ditka, who himself was a very “blue collar” type coach who believed that punishing opponents physically was the key to winning games. And because offenses of the 80s were still mostly “run-first,” Ditka’s philosophy worked…until it didn’t.
When the 90s rolled around, offenses were becoming increasingly intricate and complex, and were becoming better by the season at picking even dominant defenses apart. Then came the passer-friendly rule changes of the 2000s and 2010s, and the NFL became an almost exclusively offense-first league.
But the bears never evolved or adapted to the times. They’re still trying to play 1970s and 80s football in a 2020s league. As a result, they’ve completely neglected the offense, specifically the QB position. Their scouts don’t know how to properly gauge QB talent, as they’ve been conditioned over the decades to prioritize running backs, linebackers, and defensive backs.
This, in turn, translates to bad coaching. Bears assistant coaches don’t know how to coach a QB to become better at throwing passes unless it’s a screen. They only know how to teach their QBs to secure the ball to ensure a clean handoff to the RB, or how to just rush the ball themselves.
The end result? A neverending revolving door of shit quarterbacks who are good for little more than being handoff specialists who can throw the occasional screen or play action pass for 8-10 yards.
Thankfully, Ryan Poles appears to understand that to win in the modern NFL, you have to have a good offense that can put points on the board, particularly through the air. The days of “pounding” the ball for 3-4 yards at a time and then hoping your defense gets a turnover within field goal range are long gone.
What a fantastic production from such a small channel. Great job!
Everybody has to start somewhere ! Now you can say you were here before we got big haha.
Just 3 dudes who love football. Thanks for the nice comment…seriously means a lot
@@firstteamfootball yeah dude! I subbed! Can’t wait to see more from yall. Maybe we can get something about the woes the cowboys keep going through😭
@Catalyst512 cowboys are on our short list of teams we want to cover soon! Thanks for the sub!
The editing and production of this video was phenomenal one of the best nfl vids I’ve seen in a while
Awesome history of the bears and I can't thank you enough for that!😎
Need a video on the Vikings never winning a Super Bowl but coming so close so many times. Great content!
On our radar! Glad you enjoyed the video
awesome video thanks for sharing!
Dude if this guy helps us win or even get into the playoffs. Talk about making a grown man cry
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: the common denominator is the MacCaskies. They need to sell the team. There’s no other franchise that has this much ineptitude at QB.
Bears done fkd up again, Kaleb Williams has the mental toughness of a 7 yr old child. This will end poorly l.
I have never sworn as angrily or loudly at a tv as I did after the double doink. It still cuts even now
Love this, just some constructive feedback from a Bears fan lol. But I feel like you should’ve added that Jim McMahon was having a breakout year after the Super Bowl season until the “worst blind side hit in history.” Doesn’t take away from anything but I think that’s just a cool added piece
Very interesting note! Appreciate the feedback and for the compliment on the video 🙏🏼
Kyle Orton is probably the best Bears QB in the last 25 years lol
Caleb Williams acts like he’s a superstar already, the Football Gods don’t take kindly to that kind of attitude from a rookie QB so Bears fans should expect the humbling of a lifetime this season for Williams.. While Justin Fields is probably about to take the Steelers to the AFC championship game because of the way he runs the ball
This was cathartic to say this least. The “we want Fields” chants after the guy had a single decent passing game was really tough to swallow. So many fans wanted to do the exact same thing we’ve been doing for decades… sticking with a mediocre QB for too long and passing on elite talent at the position when they are sitting right there in the draft. We are so blessed that Ryan Poles took over and hasn’t let a single brain dead fan take sway him from his mission. Caleb Williams is gonna be an absolute legend in Chicago and it will be so worth the wait!
You say that, as if William isn’t a potential head case, possibly ready to implode Ryan Leaf style..
Leaf in comparison to Williams? They're completely different in their head space. Leaf went to party and showed up overweight to camp and didnt try. Williams has been locked in since we took him.
At some point you gotta stop pointing the finger at the man under center and point the fingers at the people in charge. Coaches change, players change, the owners stayed the same, and there's more to that "owners stayed the same" than I care to even try to explain.
Rick Mirer trade was laughable. Being he cost a first it was way too much.
Yeah they had bobby layne And George blanda And got rid of both of them wow lol. But regardless The mccaskys are the problem
@@leethecomedianHave to agree. Like Ditka once said, Halas threw nickels around like man hole covers. Some things never change. I’m waiting for Virginia to pass and see if the grandkids want out of their share of the team which may or should force a sale. 🤞
@@skeletor9121 we know they don't care about the alumni either. Ed (son in law) who George hated got a patch when he died, but Gale didn't. That still pisses me off. That's embarrassingly disrespectful in my opinion. I can live with the losing, but not honoring the alumni, that's disheartening
You forgot Cade McNown. Most of us needed therapy to do so
This was amazing put together. Just as good as any ESPN or similar documentary…. Keep it going guys !!!!
Nobody talks about how good the 1980s bears offensive line was. Them and Walter Payton were the offense
Well put together.
Awesome video boys! At the end of the video you mentioned the breakdown of the top prospects from this years draft but the only other video i see is the Lions curse video. Cant wait to see what else you guys do. BEAR DOWN!
The one that hurts out of them all is not drafting Rodgers and taking Benson. I've lived through the Bears passing on Rodgers, Watson and Maholmes. I'm hoping we finally got it right with Caleb. Excellent work on this video!!!
Man, this is some top knotch quality stuff!
Floored by the quality, subbed, look forward to watching more!
Thank you Jansen! We got a new vid dropping very soon
The Bears quarterback carousel wasn't completely the quarterback's fault. For any QB to be successful the team needs a strong offensive line and some good receivers. Plus, an offensive coordinator who maximizes the talent available. Too many Bear teams focused on the defense while ending up with a strong running game and little passing. Hopefully Caleb Willians will change that in 2024.
Yo this was well put together yo! As a die hard you told our story well. As a young fan all those woes from 2006 and on I've felt each one. The way you built up the Parkey kick with excellent, it's like it was that playoff game all over again! I called the mis kick cause I had watched him hit the uprights more than five times throughout the whole season 🤦🤦🤦
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I just relived the double doink
I had a dream where I was Cody parkey that day
This was incredible great job on everything man I’m subbed jow
Thank you for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the video, let us know what kind of content you’d like to see in the future
THE CHICAGO BEAR'S DON'T LIKE TO SPEND MONEY 💵 ON GOOD QB THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR IF PEOPLE WILL GO BACK AND LOOK AT VIDEO'S ...
I appreciate you making a video like this. I enjoyed it and I can't wait to see more. Thank you.
Of course! Glad you enjoyed it. More to follow 🤙
You guys made my favorite QB HIS MY HEART
:>)
The Bears lack talent at the ownership position. There’s nothing wrong with the players.
