I have possibly The Most Unpopular take on all of this. 2 main things. 1) Did everyone else forget Fields told us in a post-game talk that he doesn't know what his coaches expect of him? (This was never resolved nor followed up on btw. That is suspicious). 2) When he started staring at instead of throwing to open receivers, how was not one staffer on the Bears not concerned _nor _*_surprised?_* I want people to _think_ of that. Because Matt Eberflus waved all questions regarding this away a few times, then we acted like we didn't want to upset him. _Then_ we made up excuses _for_ it saying this was somehow them "simplifying" the offense because fields couldn't handle it. Both these things would have gotten any HC fired by any team that was trying to win. If Justin Herbert ever came out & said his coaches weren't helping him Staley would have been out that week. If Joe Burrow started staring at open receivers, he'd be taken into the blue tent. The *_ONLY_** way* this raises no concern nor surprise (lack of surprise = 'expected') is that it wasn't a surprise: this is what Eberflus called for him to do. _That's _*_WHY_* he waved away questions regarding it, because he could not tell us this. Lastly, Poles. If Fields succeeds elsewhere, it almost would not matter if Williams succeeds. The fact is that if they don't *win the S-B with Williams* but could have fared about as well with Fields, then _he traded away_ his ability to trade the #1 pick needlessly & could have traded it for the players they needed to win. This could haunt or end his career. So the fact that _he showed_ no concern about Justin's issues either tells me that this was The Plan all along, to pick "their" choice at QB. I can add more to support this position if anyone asks. (But it will be links to other Yt channels, possibly competing ones. So I won't do it without your express permission).
Keep Fields, I just feel he needs seasoning and development under Warren an experienced playcaller will be a huge boost that people are underestimating. I also feel like unless we get a first round pick from the Fields trade it may not be worth it to me considering we traded up for him in the 2021 draft to get him.
Guys, the “you’re gonna have to pay Fields” argument ignores the fact that if you get 3 R1 picks, you can get salary advantage and contractual control on 3 players at premium positions… effectively giving MORE salary benefit. This means we won't have to go to FA and overpay for DE, WR, OL. We should always mention this when we say “You’re gonna have to pay Justin”
that’s assuming the 3 first round picks become superstars and even still the salary difference would be pretty much nothing because of the massive contract fields would have to be given. if you’re choosing to trade the first overall pick twice to keep fields, then fields is gonna ask for top 5 qb money minimum and the bears will have no option but to give it to him. if this was any other team in the league it wouldn’t even be a discussion, you can get younger, better and cheaper it’s a no brainer. there’s also not the usual value in getting 3 first round picks at this point for the bears, they already have a lot of draft capital and you win super bowls by getting superstars on your team, at some stage you have to just say fuck it and use the draft capital to move up or trade for superstar level players. getting a lot of draft capital is great when you’re starting a rebuild, similar to what detroit did, but the bears have a playoff level team already and are just missing that franchise qb. the only argument to keep fields is the attachment bears fans have to him, but why give up a clear chance to become a super bowl calibre team
Lions fan. This team worries me more this upcoming season over Minnesota and even Green Bay. All that draft capital means they can custom build a whole new team that's new and tailor made for their new NEW QB.
I’m a Lions fan too, I like playing against Fields because it’s always entertaining. Bringing in Williams with Eberflus still at HC is a nail in the coffin for Poles and Flus
Lions are a couple quality defenders away from being solid. A LOT of defenses in the NFC North were better. So the offense carrying this team as far as they did with a solid defense is going to be hard to beat. But it’s going to be a crazy next couple of years.
I completely agree with you that the Bears will most likely draft Caleb Williams, and then Rome Odunze. Plus, keep in mind, they have quite a bit of cap room. They can add plenty of free agents if they want to.
Yea it’s interesting what the Bears did with Montez Sweat. I thought trading for him was good and it worked out so far. But having a guy like Jaylon Johnson is honestly rare. A quality corner is harder to find then a quality edge rush. I’d imagine that Johnson would be worth more than Sweat because of the position. But again, it’s be nice for them to keep both. And I’m a Lions fan.
As a Bear's fan in Chicago. Fields took a really big leap this past season with Moore and Kmet in the passing game, if he wasn't hurt for 4 games, the Bears would probably have won 9 games and made the playoffs. The 2023 season was about making the playoffs and Fields taking a big leap. This season, if the Bears take Williams, the expectation is playoffs IMMEDIATELY especially when looking at what Stroud did this past season. But, as is the case with rookie QBs you're basically guaranteed a 5 win season. IF Fields goes to the Falcons and they go to the playoffs, then Eberflus and likely Poles will lose their jobs. On the flipside, if Fields doesn't progress and Williams does well for another team, then its a wash and the whole staff will have to be replaced. Regardless it is a tough decision, but honestly, it makes more sense to trade the pick to get even more impact players in the 1st and 2nd round to sustain a team that can compete for the next 5-6 years as opposed to going all in on Williams, who may or may not fail with the Bears. (My gut tells me he is going to be a bust if he goes to the Bears) If Fields doesn't work out next year, at least you have more draft capital to replace him next year.
Can Bears fans really accept another 3yrs of growing pains if they select Williams? His sattitufe isnt suited to accept losing and learning. He'll sulk and become disinterested if they lose, and just want more money. Stick with Field on a small 'earn it' contract
Imo Giants taking a QB all depends on what the Bears do if they don’t choose Williams it’s a great chance Daniels or Maye comes to NY and Williams goes to Washington
It’s funny because the Bears already passed up on a generational QB that set an entire city on fire when they decided to trade the first overall to the Panthers. Oh well, thank you Lovie, because the Texans may not have had Stroud without him, lol.
Draft Caleb Williams, draft a receiver at pick 9 or if Joe Alt is still there draft him. Offense is the most important especially for the Bears who havent had a good QB in ages. Then get Saquon Barkley in free agency to make sure your rookie QB can throw check downs. Thats how you turn around a poverty franchise in one offseason
We hear "generational talent" so often and rarely does it play out that way. Williams is going to be put in an incredibly difficult position with the expectation of saving the franchise. The likelihood of that hapoening is slim. Also, Williams' dad will be a constant distraction.
@@andrewperlmutter8148Arthur Smith? I wouldn't want him as anyone's play-caller. The guy is as flighty as a spoiled 14-year-old girl. If he doesn't like you, he benches you. & he's about to destroy his what, 3rd or 4th QB in a row?
If the Bears draft Caleb Williams and trade Fields, Williams will suck and Fields is gonna ball out for Atlanta. If they keep Fields and trade back, Fields is gonna suck and Williams is gonna have a great season. They will mess it up either way.
Just for comparison that cowboys have won over double that amount of games in the past 3 years have made the same amount of Super Bowl appearances. And their future is not bright at all.
If they draft williams they've tanked their rebuild. He's shown numerous times that he's not a leader. He's mentally soft. He's a crybaby. He has a terrible attitude. Avoid him. Fields was way better coming out of college and has onky gotten better.
boy you sure was right about the panthers makin the playoffs. lol maybe you should rethink your analysis justin is the least of the problems that the bears have .i dont know we have uhh more pressing needs like uhhh a center a gaurd and maybe another wide reciever we only have one valid reciever and a valid tight end. its not hard to only cover two players that can make contested catches and not have high drop % but apparently you have never heard of those two stastistics. maybe you should gain a better understanding before you make an analysis. ryan poles is in this position because he new the panthers would not be able to compete by taking their best talent dj moore. and thats why we have the first overall pick right now. yet you thought the panthers could make the playoffs and now all of a sudden you think you know what ryan poles is going to do ????? laughable!@llAnalysis1
you didnt watch the games and never saw the drops from tyler scott and mooney we essentrially had only one wr and cole cmet all the other wideouts were invisible you need to go watch game film do youy think that poles is going to bring in caleb williams a player with a child like mentality to be the face of the franchise?????? what ????? thats crazy you didnt learn anything from the chase claypool trade but poles did @@FootballAnalysis1
its still a poor analysys you gonna blame justin for not having enough talent around him? or for having a poor record ?:>justin doesent play defense this is why its a poor analysis and also how the bears haveo only two players with decent drop percentage and contested catch percentage only one wr thats it! oddly enough this poor analysis didnt mention either of those factors @tHampton2004
Caleb will not play better than fields in his first TWO seasons as the Bears starter. He will then be forced to steady a sinking ship from every single season on besides injuries... due to lackluster coaching management and surrounding unINJURED talent. Just watch. Justin will become a footnote/bust in Atlanta. Sorry but that's how it's going to go just watch.
The dumbest thing they can do is restart the process. Let fields cook for a couple years build the talent and if he still isn’t the answer trade up and develop a qb behind him
@@adamant5550 the packers and chiefs have the right idea letting your future qb develop without getting exposed to too much pressure. It’s why Rodgers, mahomes and now love are viewed with the value they are.
@@adamant5550 neither are any of the college qbs coming into the draft. We don’t know which one will be good and which one will fold. We do know the bears have a history of drafting the folders. Build the team up is my first concern if I was gm. Get a rb to replace monty, a good tackle and a solid wr to compliment moore. If he sucks trade up accrued capitol to grab your qb or the future. It becomes a lot easier to know what qb will thrive once you have a feel for all your weapons surrounding him
The worst trade was Claypool, but in fairness, I’m not sure anyone can honestly say what Claypool’s potential might have been if he didn’t inexplicably become one of the least reliable WRs in the league. Losing that 2nd round pick last draft hurts, but the Miami trade for a 6th rounder in 2025 seems like a miracle now in hindsight.
@@Forestcultthat claypool trade was so sped, it was pretty clear he was playing so much more ass than his rookie season and how much of a locker room cancer he was, and we gave up a whole fling 2nd round pick like why the fuck the giant overpay
@@blackhawk3777 if I’m not mistaken, it was a bidding war against the Packers. I’m so petty as a Bears fan that I supported it only because at least the Packers didn’t get him, but now I wish they overspent instead of us. Yet again, we get no breaks going our way against our rivals it seems lol.
So far poles has been good when it comes to drafting The number one is iffy bc of the history with the bears (if it’s qb obviously) but I’m confident he’ll grab a solid starter with the no.9
Bro they’re gonna fuck this up so bad lmao I’m so anxious about the decision that’s gonna be made because historically the bears never hit on a QB. I like Justin so far but idk Caleb can ball but we know Justin can play at the NFL level
@@jdub28fulthey’ve been “trying” since Rex Grossman. Jay Cutler was drafted by Denver. I do not trust Chicago to develop ANYTHING as long as that front office is there.
There’s an aspect to the Caleb/Fields debate that I think only Bears fans understand. We are cursed. If Caleb is excellent, an anvil will fall on him. It is illegal for us to have a good/exciting QB. And now, we FINALLY have one. if we let that guy leave the building, divine intervention will spite us. Y’all saw how the fates responded when the Jets finally get a QB. 4 snaps and he’s done. They didn’t listen to the fans way back when when they wanted Marino, and the Gods have spited them ever since. We’re the NFC’s Jets. That will be our fate too if we let our first and only electric beloved QB leave the building.
Not a chargers fan but I’d love to see a chargers video like this. I don’t follow rosters outside of fantasy football admittedly and would love to see if the chargers are actually close or not. Great video though!
The short answer for the chargers is it’s complicated because they have several big contracts The hope for them should be competitive rebuild this year imo
Poles only wants to win. If he thinks he can win with Fields, he'll keep him. If he thinks he has a better option with Williams (which he does), he'll draft him.. but that old played out adage of "his guy" is stupid. And before you try to retort, Poles called the notion of "his guy", ridiculous.
Caleb Williams,dj moore,Rome odunze, cole Kemet some free agent slot wr and Josh Jacobs plus there too 10 defense they can make better with a rookie scale qb is a dangerous swuao
You keep fields and add Marvin Harrison Jr and you have a chance to win next year, although that division is becoming a difficult division for any NFL team to win. A GM that wins must take chances including putting his job on the line. The status quo only allows a average gm to stay and keep the franchise average or worse off. If the Bears take Williams and he doesn’t work out, the gm will be fired 3 years too late and a overrated draft prospect, with the same dilemma you have today. Except the talent they do have now has been wasted by taking the traveled road, instead of trusting the players in the locker room(Pro Fields) and a few nfl ready starters and also a few more contributing not and promising young pieces on the depth chart, they would be able to add trading the 1st pick. I believe drafting Williams is the safest route for the front office, but the surest route to be the Bears we know and expect anymore. A carousel of qbs, wasting very good defenses and underperforming as an offense. I don’t think the Bears want to stay their coarse of the Cowboys-lite. They got a new relocation out of the city and into the suburbs with an new stadium to build. Why not take risks and reinvent the wheel. What do they have to really lose staying with Fields and trading the first pick and getting a generational WR instead of a question mark of question marks for the Bears.
Cade McNown, Rex Grossman, Mitch Trubisky, and Justin Fields. You could also say Jay Cutler since they traded for him early in his career, and Jim Harbaugh; who though spent 7 years in Chicago, didn’t do much
This “they didn’t do right by Fields” stuff is kind of nonsense. If he was making good reads, throwing good balls, and consistently demonstrating the ability to effectively run the offense I would get it. But Burrow didn’t have much around him at the start and got hurt. Didn’t impact him. Herbert has very little high end talent around him and he hasn’t ever looked like he didn’t belong as a top starter in the league. Same can be said for Lemar etc. The talent around you can make you look good when you aren't but they wont make you look incompetent of you are competent.
Both Borrow and Herbert had significantly better players around the them. Fields has issues but to say he had players around him as good as Burrows and Herbert had is completely ridiculous. We had the worst WR core and Oline in the NFL for the first 2 years for Fields career. Here is a crazy idea...how about keep Fields and draft a QB and WR.
I could talk for an hour on this but quick summary: We Bear fans love Justin but we love winning more and I'd rather roll with the potential of Caleb then hoping for Justin to take that next step. Also on the line, if Poles trades Caleb and Caleb becomes what everyone thinks, then Poles job is on the line. This is the year Poles and the team need to make a LEAP though that could be tempered a bit with a new rookie QB, even Caleb
Here’s a view from a non bears fan. If they draft Caleb, they’ll have no offensive weapons for him which will make him look a bad pickup. Another bears fan on a different video said to take the chances with fields and hope he develops better with a better target like Marvin Harrison
@@BigDr0p1they have DJ Moore and they can easily select a WR with the 9th pick. If there’s any time to draft a QB young, it’s when you have weapons lol.
In my opinion just change the scheme. The bears keep trying to make Justin a pocket passer when he is more of a scrambler. In my opinion if anyone deserves the blame it's the bears office and coaching staff, I mean last season it took them too long to change the schemes. The bears were looking like a whole different team during their last few games. This coming from a cheese head
@@OkagaCaliforniaonly having dj is just what happened with jf1 then at 9 selecting a wr when there some bigger holes like a RE. If we do get caleb as well then we will have are next picks be the mid 3rd round that’s just not enough to draft a winning roster trade 1 to stay in the top 3 get MHJ and Dallas turner having a 2nd round pick get us a center then we’re rolling completing the defense the perfect option imo
As a long time chicago fan. It’s not the talent we struggle with. It’s the owners picking coaches. You brought up Jim. Don’t forget about the woman they hired as a running back coach. Oh brother. What a joke. We will never win a Super Bowl as long as that family owns the team since they never wanna pay the money for good coaches. Facts.
The Bears are employment for 20+ McCaskeys, not to mention the profits from the franchise. The family has only succeeded at one business - The Bears. - and they inherited the team.
@@matt246 the reason they got Shane Waldron is because they paid him more than he was getting offered from other teams so there goes your theory they don't pay for coaches. And they have a female coach, so what? She's been in the NFL coaching this isn't a first time coach. I'd rather have her coaching the back than someone who gets fired because of workplace behavior
Trading down and acquiring a haul of picks allows you to reset the contracts of players all over the roster. Crazy how winning teams pay QBs all of the time. Resetting the rookie QB contract is a poor argument for moving off JF.
Matt Eberflus staying on as head coach seems like a horrible mistake. It really seems to me like the people above Poles did not want to hire an expensive head coach, and settled for Flus. I did not like Flus’ final postgame conference at all. I do not believe that the defensive improvement in the back end of the season justified him staying on as HC. It looked like a man begging to keep his job as he was once again swept by the Packers. He can’t even fully claim that the defensive improvement was all due to his own efforts as a coach, as it was Poles that signed Sweat right as the defense seemed to turn things around. I have zero confidence in Eberflus as a head coach. Unless he can at least split with the Packers in division while have the Bears competing for the playoffs, all Flus will prove is that he was unworthy from the start.
I mean I thought it was written in stone that Chicago was gonna pick up Marvin Harrison Jr instead but ever since Justin Fields last game it seems everyone changed tunes. I think Caleb Williams is very talented but at the same time he might not thrive in a system like Chicago. I think i would have favored the move if they actually hired Kliff Kingsbury but thats not whom they picked up as OC.
@@maskedman5657 Exactly, so what makes you think he "might not thrive in a system like Chicago" when you yourself said he would adapt the system to his talents.... Any OC would drool at the chance to develop a player like Caleb.
I’m realizing the argument of “not trusting Chicago to develop a QB (Caleb in this case” is lazy. That basically means they should give up on ever having QB play and be happy with mid at best. They need to give it a shot and maybe Caleb is the guy to change that narrative
@@Ryan-gz9xg bad decision making and bad management. Biggest coaching pool to pick from in YEARS and they pick her. You can have the best players, but won’t go anywhere because the family doesn’t wanna pay for good coaching. It’s sad.
@@matt246the assumption that a woman must automatically be a bad coach is silly. Neither you nor I have sat down in a room with her, nor the other candidates. We have no idea who she is or how good she might be at the job.
Wdym conversation they aren’t in win now mode. Not every team is going “all in”. By your logic a team is either “all in” or tanking. Teams strive for sustained success to get a shot at many super bowls. They should follow the chiefs example
This is what’s going to happen. Just cause I’m a bears fan and I have hope again. We are going to trade fields, draft Caleb. Pretty obvious I know. Then Williams is going to bust, Jayden Daniels or Maye , whoever goes 2, is going to be amazing and whoever traded for fields is going to figure out how to use him and he’s going to lead his team to the playoffs and turn into Lamar 2.0.
Why would they draft a Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray type QB? They have to draft a good receiver period no matter who’s the QB is. Not enough for Fields. Williams is an overrated prospect… Plus it’s a 50/50 chance that Nabers, Bowers, or Odunze.
What’s the rush to draft a qb? CHI needs help in many places. Trade back, acquire picks and build the team. Don’t use the #1 pick on a qb if you’re not sure he’s a Peyton, Luck, Burrow, etc. It seems like there’s a generational talent every draft anyway.
Justin has faults, but people act like Love fell out of the sky... it's called development. He's better than Love was at this point. In addition, nobody factors Caleb's toughness & problematic entourage.
The way I look at it. The bears were 7 and 10 and lost a lot of close games. Could’ve been easily 10 n 7. If the bears only had their 9th pick would they even be talking about drafting a qb. Keep building around fields
Heres what you do... Trade Fields, hes young and still has potential. It didnt work out with the bears.. Draft Caleb at #1, Trade Fields to new England, and get Caleb a weapon or an OL, at #9 which leaves mhj to go to cards, which is my team. Then everyone is happy
I’m a lifelong packers fan but Fields was setup to fail. Their oline is god awful, so they’ll just rinse and repeat? I don’t see Caleb succeeding behind that line just like fields. They need a wr for sure! But they also need major upgrades on the crap oline.
I've discovered a foolproof way to predict how good the Bears will be next season. All you have to do is ask "Is Matt Eberflus the coach?" if the answer is yes the Bears will be garbage and if the answer is no? the Bears will be garbage. but slightly less unwatchable
My opinion? I think the bears are stuck in a mentality that they are a special teams and defense team. We have never had a significant franchise quarterback, we don't throw the ball enough, and spend most of our cap and draft picks on defense. The entire coaching philosophy needs to change on this team. It isn't 1985 and we need a strong offence with a good passing game to compete, to open up the run, and as the best form of defense.
I had the same thought about Eberflus. It's reminiscent of when the Lakers got Shaq. Del Harris was coaching and while he's a solid coach he couldn't get the most out of the talent on the roster - especially from the big fella. It took hiring Phil Jackson to get them over the hump. I think in 5 years we'll look back and see whoever the Bears hire after they inevitably fire Eberflus during or after next season as the catalyst that launched Caleb WIlliams' potential.
I have a feeling Caleb will the type of talent that will cover Eberflus coaching deficiencies. I have a feeling it’ll be a Dan Reeves/John Elway type of situation.
@@theman8034 Wow you definitely like Caleb a lot more than me. A lot of people would agree with you though. I just don't think he's a generational talent like a Mahomes or Lamar. But I think he'll be a top 10 franchise qb by the end of year 2. 1000% worth taking #1 overall. I also think Drake Maye will be a bust and Jayden Daniel will be a Lamar clone if he gets in the right offensive situation.
Here's best case scenario for the bears this off-season (coming from a Vikings fan): -Sign Danielle Hunter (or another premier pass rusher) in free agency. -Sign another premier corner (Antoine Winfield or L'Jarius Sneed, though this isn't as likely) -draft Caleb and Rome This is why I fear for my Vikings next season!
As a lions fan I would love to see Justin traded and go ball out lol I know the bears sucked but still felt like a big play was always right around the corner with justin
Caleb Williams is not the answer. The Bears already have a player that plays out of rhythm at quarterback, you can’t compare somebody to Patrick Mahomes because Patrick Mahomes has a Hall of Fame tight end, a Hall of Fame head coach is in a stable organization. Patrick Mahomes inherited a playoff team. the Chicago Bears are not a playoff team. The best things for the Bears to do is to take Marvin Harrison Junior and maybe Dallas Turner and build a team around Justin Fields like the Giants did for Eli Manning. Justin Fields no how to win games in the National Football League Caleb Williams doesn’t.
Look I think they should keep Fields. The Bear honestly suck at developing QBs. With Fields you have seen improvement and you actually gave him a weapon in DJ Moore why risk this considering your bringing back the same coach. And if im being honest if they draft Caleb there most likely got to not have a winning record and that coach could most likely be fired and you end up with the same situation you had with Fields when you could just trade down get a bag and get other players to fix the Bears many issues mostly the o-line and a receiver and maybe a running back while you at it
The only reason I think we keep Fields is because of the locker room. I think the locker room would be pissed if we got rid of him. I don't think the locker room wants Caleb more than Fields.
Great video! If I were running the Bears, I would keeo the first pick and draft a QB. Here's how I see it: if you sre a franchise that has a well-known reputation of never being able to find a franchise QB, you can not pass on using the first pick in the draft two years in a row to possibly acquire one. Also, if I were running the Bears, if I were to use the first pick to draft a QB, I would also look for a new head coach, and go for a complete franchise overhaul. To me, I think that keeping Eberflus for another year runs the risk of wasting a year (think the 2023 Chargers with Brandon Staley). But, I could be wrong. Perhals Eberflus flourishes in his third season, similar to Zac Taylor. I fo wonder if keeping Eberflus is a sign that they may keep Justin Fields.
I like fields *BUT* Bryce young as terrible as he was averaged more yards per game than JF!!! Who has 3yrs experience. One could argue our little run at the end of the year was in spite of his shortcomings at processing. And, more of a defensive run. Also, fields had the a top 10 amount of time to throw in the pocket.
Why is dude talking about harbaugh like he was even considering chicago. Him and the bears president who is the former big 10 president literally dont get along lmao
If Caleb wasn’t 6 feet I wouldn’t be against moving on from justin. We also play in cold weather. Small guy like that in cold weather will not mix well. Sorry to let u Caleb fans down. They’re either trading down for Drake or keeping fields
If you think “he might not be good in cold weather” would actually have ANY effect of him being drafted then you are truly delusional, good thing you’ll never be a GM. And we both know they are taking Caleb, keep coping.
The Bears do not need to bring in Marvin Harrison Jr (even though that would be awesome). They do need to add a legitimate WR2 and WR3 to the roster. *If* the Bears keep Fields (which seems unlikely) that's likely to only happen if they get a massive haul, for example by trading back multiple times. I don't think there's any scenario where they pass on Caleb for 1-2 extra picks. It's got to be a situation where they get so many assets that they come out ahead even if Fields doesn't make a big leap and they're forced to draft a new QB in 2025 or 2026. 1 or 2 picks plus Marvin Harrison is not it.
As the draft comes up I wouldn’t be so sure that Rome is still around at the 9th overall pick there are a lot of teams ahead of the bears that could use a wide receiver, I wouldn’t be shocked if both Rome and Malik neighbors are gone by pick 9
Although it’s more than likely Caleb is a Bear there’s an argument that Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus are the right leaders to have around him. Caleb has a strong/unique personality and I’m not sure they can handle that
Poles & Flus jobs were never on the line. These two are saviors that have to clean up the disgusting mess from the previous regime. Everyone has zero patience and focuses on negatives like the record while these two have exceeded the expectations on the course of the rebuild
Can't wait for the Bears to draft another QB, suck, then fire their coaching staff after a year or 2 with the Rookie QB, ruin Caleb Williams, then repeat the cycle once again
What do you think the Bears should do this offseason? 🤔
Draft Caleb!
I have possibly The Most Unpopular take on all of this. 2 main things. 1) Did everyone else forget Fields told us in a post-game talk that he doesn't know what his coaches expect of him? (This was never resolved nor followed up on btw. That is suspicious).
2) When he started staring at instead of throwing to open receivers, how was not one staffer on the Bears not concerned _nor _*_surprised?_* I want people to _think_ of that. Because Matt Eberflus waved all questions regarding this away a few times, then we acted like we didn't want to upset him. _Then_ we made up excuses _for_ it saying this was somehow them "simplifying" the offense because fields couldn't handle it.
Both these things would have gotten any HC fired by any team that was trying to win. If Justin Herbert ever came out & said his coaches weren't helping him Staley would have been out that week. If Joe Burrow started staring at open receivers, he'd be taken into the blue tent.
The *_ONLY_** way* this raises no concern nor surprise (lack of surprise = 'expected') is that it wasn't a surprise: this is what Eberflus called for him to do. _That's _*_WHY_* he waved away questions regarding it, because he could not tell us this.
Lastly, Poles. If Fields succeeds elsewhere, it almost would not matter if Williams succeeds. The fact is that if they don't *win the S-B with Williams* but could have fared about as well with Fields, then _he traded away_ his ability to trade the #1 pick needlessly & could have traded it for the players they needed to win. This could haunt or end his career.
So the fact that _he showed_ no concern about Justin's issues either tells me that this was The Plan all along, to pick "their" choice at QB.
I can add more to support this position if anyone asks. (But it will be links to other Yt channels, possibly competing ones. So I won't do it without your express permission).
They should trade down to 3 and draft marvin harrison
Then at 9 draft edge
Keep Fields, I just feel he needs seasoning and development under Warren an experienced playcaller will be a huge boost that people are underestimating. I also feel like unless we get a first round pick from the Fields trade it may not be worth it to me considering we traded up for him in the 2021 draft to get him.
" It’s Time To Have A Conversation About The Chicago Bears " That literally been the main topic this entire offseason lol
Agreed
For the second year in a row too
he hasn’t talked abt it on his channel in depth yet
Me at 6 this morning, “It’s time to have a conversation about the Chicago Bears”.
🐻
Guys, the “you’re gonna have to pay Fields” argument ignores the fact that if you get 3 R1 picks, you can get salary advantage and contractual control on 3 players at premium positions… effectively giving MORE salary benefit. This means we won't have to go to FA and overpay for DE, WR, OL.
We should always mention this when we say “You’re gonna have to pay Justin”
that’s assuming the 3 first round picks become superstars and even still the salary difference would be pretty much nothing because of the massive contract fields would have to be given. if you’re choosing to trade the first overall pick twice to keep fields, then fields is gonna ask for top 5 qb money minimum and the bears will have no option but to give it to him. if this was any other team in the league it wouldn’t even be a discussion, you can get younger, better and cheaper it’s a no brainer. there’s also not the usual value in getting 3 first round picks at this point for the bears, they already have a lot of draft capital and you win super bowls by getting superstars on your team, at some stage you have to just say fuck it and use the draft capital to move up or trade for superstar level players. getting a lot of draft capital is great when you’re starting a rebuild, similar to what detroit did, but the bears have a playoff level team already and are just missing that franchise qb. the only argument to keep fields is the attachment bears fans have to him, but why give up a clear chance to become a super bowl calibre team
Plus all the 2nds…. But you’re preaching to casuals my guy
Lions fan. This team worries me more this upcoming season over Minnesota and even Green Bay. All that draft capital means they can custom build a whole new team that's new and tailor made for their new NEW QB.
You're describing exactly the Packers roster with that tho too and they've already proven themselves, whereas the bears are still just potential
just like you guys did last season, makes sense a lions fan can see this while everyone else is looking elsewhere
Bears will have a top 10 pick next year
I’m a Lions fan too, I like playing against Fields because it’s always entertaining. Bringing in Williams with Eberflus still at HC is a nail in the coffin for Poles and Flus
Lions are a couple quality defenders away from being solid. A LOT of defenses in the NFC North were better. So the offense carrying this team as far as they did with a solid defense is going to be hard to beat. But it’s going to be a crazy next couple of years.
Bears fan here. I don’t want to have a conversation
Let’s talk about that woman running back coach they hired 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I completely agree with you that the Bears will most likely draft Caleb Williams, and then Rome Odunze. Plus, keep in mind, they have quite a bit of cap room. They can add plenty of free agents if they want to.
Yea it’s interesting what the Bears did with Montez Sweat. I thought trading for him was good and it worked out so far. But having a guy like Jaylon Johnson is honestly rare. A quality corner is harder to find then a quality edge rush. I’d imagine that Johnson would be worth more than Sweat because of the position. But again, it’s be nice for them to keep both. And I’m a Lions fan.
MHJ opposite of Dj Moore and Laiatu Latu opposite of Montez would be crazy
As a Bear's fan in Chicago. Fields took a really big leap this past season with Moore and Kmet in the passing game, if he wasn't hurt for 4 games, the Bears would probably have won 9 games and made the playoffs. The 2023 season was about making the playoffs and Fields taking a big leap. This season, if the Bears take Williams, the expectation is playoffs IMMEDIATELY especially when looking at what Stroud did this past season. But, as is the case with rookie QBs you're basically guaranteed a 5 win season. IF Fields goes to the Falcons and they go to the playoffs, then Eberflus and likely Poles will lose their jobs. On the flipside, if Fields doesn't progress and Williams does well for another team, then its a wash and the whole staff will have to be replaced.
Regardless it is a tough decision, but honestly, it makes more sense to trade the pick to get even more impact players in the 1st and 2nd round to sustain a team that can compete for the next 5-6 years as opposed to going all in on Williams, who may or may not fail with the Bears. (My gut tells me he is going to be a bust if he goes to the Bears) If Fields doesn't work out next year, at least you have more draft capital to replace him next year.
Can Bears fans really accept another 3yrs of growing pains if they select Williams? His sattitufe isnt suited to accept losing and learning. He'll sulk and become disinterested if they lose, and just want more money. Stick with Field on a small 'earn it' contract
Great vid bro!
Thank you!
Imo Giants taking a QB all depends on what the Bears do if they don’t choose Williams it’s a great chance Daniels or Maye comes to NY and Williams goes to Washington
Maturing is knowing they will screw this up no matter what they do
It’s funny because the Bears already passed up on a generational QB that set an entire city on fire when they decided to trade the first overall to the Panthers. Oh well, thank you Lovie, because the Texans may not have had Stroud without him, lol.
Draft Caleb Williams, draft a receiver at pick 9 or if Joe Alt is still there draft him. Offense is the most important especially for the Bears who havent had a good QB in ages. Then get Saquon Barkley in free agency to make sure your rookie QB can throw check downs. Thats how you turn around a poverty franchise in one offseason
rip getting saquon lmaooo
@@hannahtanski3911 true, swift is still a good runningback and pass catcher
We hear "generational talent" so often and rarely does it play out that way. Williams is going to be put in an incredibly difficult position with the expectation of saving the franchise. The likelihood of that hapoening is slim.
Also, Williams' dad will be a constant distraction.

@soxfan5240 that's true but maybe the cardinals fall in love with odunze from Washington and get him at 9 and a bunch of capital to build with.

@@onewayzxy597 but they have an insane amount of salary cap available to fill those positions with a rookie wr and qb contract to build around.

Don't forget when Poles got the job. The Bears were over the cap, and have very few draft picks.

The worst trade was Claypool, but in fairness, I’m not sure anyone can honestly say what Claypool’s potential might have been if he didn’t inexplicably become one of the least reliable WRs in the league.

There’s an aspect to the Caleb/Fields debate that I think only Bears fans understand. We are cursed. If Caleb is excellent, an anvil will fall on him. It is illegal for us to have a good/exciting QB. And now, we FINALLY have one. if we let that guy leave the building, divine intervention will spite us. Y’all saw how the fates responded when the Jets finally get a QB. 4 snaps and he’s done. They didn’t listen to the fans way back when when they wanted Marino, and the Gods have spited them ever since. We’re the NFC’s Jets. That will be our fate too if we let our first and only electric beloved QB leave the building.
Not a chargers fan but I’d love to see a chargers video like this. I don’t follow rosters outside of fantasy football admittedly and would love to see if the chargers are actually close or not. Great video though!
The short answer for the chargers is it’s complicated because they have several big contracts
The hope for them should be competitive rebuild this year imo
They can both trade fields and acquire future draft capitol. They can still build the roster for the future and poles can get his guy.
Poles only wants to win. If he thinks he can win with Fields, he'll keep him. If he thinks he has a better option with Williams (which he does), he'll draft him.. but that old played out adage of "his guy" is stupid. And before you try to retort, Poles called the notion of "his guy", ridiculous.
Caleb Williams,dj moore,Rome odunze, cole Kemet some free agent slot wr and Josh Jacobs plus there too 10 defense they can make better with a rookie scale qb is a dangerous swuao

What?
Last in the NFC North
Found the salty packers fan
You keep fields and add Marvin Harrison Jr and you have a chance to win next year, although that division is becoming a difficult division for any NFL team to win.
A GM that wins must take chances including putting his job on the line. The status quo only allows a average gm to stay and keep the franchise average or worse off. If the Bears take Williams and he doesn’t work out, the gm will be fired 3 years too late and a overrated draft prospect, with the same dilemma you have today. Except the talent they do have now has been wasted by taking the traveled road, instead of trusting the players in the locker room(Pro Fields) and a few nfl ready starters and also a few more contributing not and promising young pieces on the depth chart, they would be able to add trading the 1st pick.
I believe drafting Williams is the safest route for the front office, but the surest route to be the Bears we know and expect anymore. A carousel of qbs, wasting very good defenses and underperforming as an offense. I don’t think the Bears want to stay their coarse of the Cowboys-lite. They got a new relocation out of the city and into the suburbs with an new stadium to build. Why not take risks and reinvent the wheel. What do they have to really lose staying with Fields and trading the first pick and getting a generational WR instead of a question mark of question marks for the Bears.
NFC North is going to be the most exciting division, change my mind.
Agree
It don't matter what they do, I don't trust the bears organization to develop a qb. Look at the history. I would love to see fields in atl.though
What are a few high picked rookie QBs have the bears attempted to develop?
Cade McNown, Rex Grossman, Mitch Trubisky, and Justin Fields. You could also say Jay Cutler since they traded for him early in his career, and Jim Harbaugh; who though spent 7 years in Chicago, didn’t do much
This “they didn’t do right by Fields” stuff is kind of nonsense. If he was making good reads, throwing good balls, and consistently demonstrating the ability to effectively run the offense I would get it. But Burrow didn’t have much around him at the start and got hurt. Didn’t impact him. Herbert has very little high end talent around him and he hasn’t ever looked like he didn’t belong as a top starter in the league. Same can be said for Lemar etc. The talent around you can make you look good when you aren't but they wont make you look incompetent of you are competent.
You sound...like an arm chair dude that never watched a bears game. Making the right reads....lolol. he cant catch the fucking ball too.
Thank you! The amount of excuses made for Fields is downright insane at this point.
Who is Lemar?
Seriously, I agree. I still don’t think they should cut bait just yet. Williams is too volatile of a prospect.
Both Borrow and Herbert had significantly better players around the them. Fields has issues but to say he had players around him as good as Burrows and Herbert had is completely ridiculous. We had the worst WR core and Oline in the NFL for the first 2 years for Fields career. Here is a crazy idea...how about keep Fields and draft a QB and WR.
@@blakeharris58 if you think they are equal, you still go Williams bc of the contract situation.
Should’ve talked ab how the team would look keeping fields and other potential trades, the bears have so many options this will be Hella fun to watch
Let's just pray we don't frick everything up with Caleb...
I could talk for an hour on this but quick summary: We Bear fans love Justin but we love winning more and I'd rather roll with the potential of Caleb then hoping for Justin to take that next step. Also on the line, if Poles trades Caleb and Caleb becomes what everyone thinks, then Poles job is on the line. This is the year Poles and the team need to make a LEAP though that could be tempered a bit with a new rookie QB, even Caleb
Here’s a view from a non bears fan. If they draft Caleb, they’ll have no offensive weapons for him which will make him look a bad pickup. Another bears fan on a different video said to take the chances with fields and hope he develops better with a better target like Marvin Harrison
@@BigDr0p1they have DJ Moore and they can easily select a WR with the 9th pick. If there’s any time to draft a QB young, it’s when you have weapons lol.
In my opinion just change the scheme. The bears keep trying to make Justin a pocket passer when he is more of a scrambler. In my opinion if anyone deserves the blame it's the bears office and coaching staff, I mean last season it took them too long to change the schemes. The bears were looking like a whole different team during their last few games.

Matt Eberflus staying on as head coach seems like a horrible mistake. It really seems to me like the people above Poles did not want to hire an expensive head coach, and settled for Flus.
I did not like Flus’ final postgame conference at all. I do not believe that the defensive improvement in the back end of the season justified him staying on as HC. It looked like a man begging to keep his job as he was once again swept by the Packers. He can’t even fully claim that the defensive improvement was all due to his own efforts as a coach, as it was Poles that signed Sweat right as the defense seemed to turn things around.
I have zero confidence in Eberflus as a head coach. Unless he can at least split with the Packers in division while have the Bears competing for the playoffs, all Flus will prove is that he was unworthy from the start.
I mean I thought it was written in stone that Chicago was gonna pick up Marvin Harrison Jr instead but ever since Justin Fields last game it seems everyone changed tunes.
I think Caleb Williams is very talented but at the same time he might not thrive in a system like Chicago. I think i would have favored the move if they actually hired Kliff Kingsbury but thats not whom they picked up as OC.

Bears have been irrelevant since the 80s
Wdym conversation they aren’t in win now mode. Not every team is going “all in”. By your logic a team is either “all in” or tanking. Teams strive for sustained success to get a shot at many super bowls. They should follow the chiefs example
This is what’s going to happen. Just cause I’m a bears fan and I have hope again. We are going to trade fields, draft Caleb. Pretty obvious I know. Then Williams is going to bust, Jayden Daniels or Maye , whoever goes 2, is going to be amazing and whoever traded for fields is going to figure out how to use him and he’s going to lead his team to the playoffs and turn into Lamar 2.0.
Why would they draft a Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray type QB? They have to draft a good receiver period no matter who’s the QB is. Not enough for Fields. Williams is an overrated prospect… Plus it’s a 50/50 chance that Nabers, Bowers, or Odunze.
What’s the rush to draft a qb? CHI needs help in many places. Trade back, acquire picks and build the team. Don’t use the #1 pick on a qb if you’re not sure he’s a Peyton, Luck, Burrow, etc. It seems like there’s a generational talent every draft anyway.
Justin has faults, but people act like Love fell out of the sky... it's called development. He's better than Love was at this point. In addition, nobody factors Caleb's toughness & problematic entourage.
The way I look at it. The bears were 7 and 10 and lost a lot of close games. Could’ve been easily 10 n 7. If the bears only had their 9th pick would they even be talking about drafting a qb. Keep building around fields
The Bears should send Justin to a different organization that'll do right by him. ATL, Pitt, LV, almost anywhere is better than Chicago.
Given that the Packers and Lions are young, a 1st place finish for the Bears will be a challenge
Heres what you do... Trade Fields, hes young and still has potential. It didnt work out with the bears..
Draft Caleb at #1, Trade Fields to new England, and get Caleb a weapon or an OL, at #9
which leaves mhj to go to cards, which is my team. Then everyone is happy
I’m a lifelong packers fan but Fields was setup to fail. Their oline is god awful, so they’ll just rinse and repeat? I don’t see Caleb succeeding behind that line just like fields. They need a wr for sure! But they also need major upgrades on the crap oline.
I've discovered a foolproof way to predict how good the Bears will be next season. All you have to do is ask "Is Matt Eberflus the coach?" if the answer is yes the Bears will be garbage and if the answer is no? the Bears will be garbage. but slightly less unwatchable
My opinion? I think the bears are stuck in a mentality that they are a special teams and defense team. We have never had a significant franchise quarterback, we don't throw the ball enough, and spend most of our cap and draft picks on defense. The entire coaching philosophy needs to change on this team. It isn't 1985 and we need a strong offence with a good passing game to compete, to open up the run, and as the best form of defense.
Another scenario:
Draft Caleb Williams
Trade the farm with the Commanders to get Marvin Harrison Jr
Draft Dallas Turner at #9 overall
I feel like I’ve seen this thumbnail 20 times already.
I had the same thought about Eberflus. It's reminiscent of when the Lakers got Shaq. Del Harris was coaching and while he's a solid coach he couldn't get the most out of the talent on the roster - especially from the big fella. It took hiring Phil Jackson to get them over the hump. I think in 5 years we'll look back and see whoever the Bears hire after they inevitably fire Eberflus during or after next season as the catalyst that launched Caleb WIlliams' potential.
I have a feeling Caleb will the type of talent that will cover Eberflus coaching deficiencies. I have a feeling it’ll be a Dan Reeves/John Elway type of situation.
@@theman8034 Wow you definitely like Caleb a lot more than me. A lot of people would agree with you though. I just don't think he's a generational talent like a Mahomes or Lamar. But I think he'll be a top 10 franchise qb by the end of year 2. 1000% worth taking #1 overall.
I also think Drake Maye will be a bust and Jayden Daniel will be a Lamar clone if he gets in the right offensive situation.
You can't blame Ryan poles on what happen to Justin fields remember Ryan poles came into Bad situation the GM before him left a mess?
This is the Bear’s draft to lose. If they don’t come out of the draft a competent team, they’ll probably never be one
Trade up from the ninth pick and get Marvin Harrison to pair him with Caleb
Here's best case scenario for the bears this off-season (coming from a Vikings fan):
-Sign Danielle Hunter (or another premier pass rusher) in free agency.
-Sign another premier corner (Antoine Winfield or L'Jarius Sneed, though this isn't as likely)
-draft Caleb and Rome
This is why I fear for my Vikings next season!
This is what I want the Bears to do as a Bears fan.

@FootbaIlAnaIysis1 fucks up with all these lame ass bots
Caleb Williams is not the answer. The Bears already have a player that plays out of rhythm at quarterback, you can’t compare somebody to Patrick Mahomes because Patrick Mahomes has a Hall of Fame tight end, a Hall of Fame head coach is in a stable organization. Patrick Mahomes inherited a playoff team. the Chicago Bears are not a playoff team. The best things for the Bears to do is to take Marvin Harrison Junior and maybe Dallas Turner and build a team around Justin Fields like the Giants did for Eli Manning. Justin Fields no how to win games in the National Football League Caleb Williams doesn’t.
Look I think they should keep Fields. The Bear honestly suck at developing QBs. With Fields you have seen improvement and you actually gave him a weapon in DJ Moore why risk this considering your bringing back the same coach. And if im being honest if they draft Caleb there most likely got to not have a winning record and that coach could most likely be fired and you end up with the same situation you had with Fields when you could just trade down get a bag and get other players to fix the Bears many issues mostly the o-line and a receiver and maybe a running back while you at it
And if he Suck this season bam gone and you have some draft picks to work and trade with
Why do I feel like you talk in a voice every video lmaooo
CALEB WILL BE THE END OF THE BEARS FOR A LONG TIME.
They still have a terrible offensive line.
Caleb will lead the bears to 14 Super Bowls 🤩🤩🤩
Absolutely delusional
cant wait to see them ruin caleb williams

Field is adios, just Ashe should be,
The only reason I think we keep Fields is because of the locker room. I think the locker room would be pissed if we got rid of him. I don't think the locker room wants Caleb more than Fields.
Great video! If I were running the Bears, I would keeo the first pick and draft a QB. Here's how I see it: if you sre a franchise that has a well-known reputation of never being able to find a franchise QB, you can not pass on using the first pick in the draft two years in a row to possibly acquire one.
Also, if I were running the Bears, if I were to use the first pick to draft a QB, I would also look for a new head coach, and go for a complete franchise overhaul. To me, I think that keeping Eberflus for another year runs the risk of wasting a year (think the 2023 Chargers with Brandon Staley). But, I could be wrong. Perhals Eberflus flourishes in his third season, similar to Zac Taylor.
I fo wonder if keeping Eberflus is a sign that they may keep Justin Fields.
$200 Million for Fields is ridiculous. Overrated
That's the going rate of EVERY QB .
Wake up,.Get some coffee~
I like fields *BUT* Bryce young as terrible as he was averaged more yards per game than JF!!! Who has 3yrs experience.
One could argue our little run at the end of the year was in spite of his shortcomings at processing. And, more of a defensive run.
Also, fields had the a top 10 amount of time to throw in the pocket.
Why is dude talking about harbaugh like he was even considering chicago. Him and the bears president who is the former big 10 president literally dont get along lmao
Rome isn't making it to 9
If Caleb wasn’t 6 feet I wouldn’t be against moving on from justin. We also play in cold weather. Small guy like that in cold weather will not mix well. Sorry to let u Caleb fans down. They’re either trading down for Drake or keeping fields
If you think “he might not be good in cold weather” would actually have ANY effect of him being drafted then you are truly delusional, good thing you’ll never be a GM. And we both know they are taking Caleb, keep coping.
@@Kyle-bi7dflol did you not see the part about him being tiny.. Caleb groupies are hilarious
The Bears do not need to bring in Marvin Harrison Jr (even though that would be awesome). They do need to add a legitimate WR2 and WR3 to the roster.
*If* the Bears keep Fields (which seems unlikely) that's likely to only happen if they get a massive haul, for example by trading back multiple times. I don't think there's any scenario where they pass on Caleb for 1-2 extra picks. It's got to be a situation where they get so many assets that they come out ahead even if Fields doesn't make a big leap and they're forced to draft a new QB in 2025 or 2026. 1 or 2 picks plus Marvin Harrison is not it.
As the draft comes up I wouldn’t be so sure that Rome is still around at the 9th overall pick there are a lot of teams ahead of the bears that could use a wide receiver, I wouldn’t be shocked if both Rome and Malik neighbors are gone by pick 9
Although it’s more than likely Caleb is a Bear there’s an argument that Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus are the right leaders to have around him. Caleb has a strong/unique personality and I’m not sure they can handle that
Poles & Flus jobs were never on the line. These two are saviors that have to clean up the disgusting mess from the previous regime. Everyone has zero patience and focuses on negatives like the record while these two have exceeded the expectations on the course of the rebuild
Can't wait for the Bears to draft another QB, suck, then fire their coaching staff after a year or 2 with the Rookie QB, ruin Caleb Williams, then repeat the cycle once again
What about the o line?
