Which play calls were bad and why. I asked this several weeks ago and didn't get a specific answer
The best part of this is he is a massive Kyle Shanahan fan. Does anyone remember how the last half of his last game as an OC went?
Did you want Shurmur with his terrible play calling against the Eagles. He should have lost to the Saints too.
How about McDaniels? Would he be better?
Did you like Matt Patricia's defense when it actually played an actual offense?
Were you a fan of Mike Vrabel and Houston's defense?
Did you like Frank Reich's play calling? That's right. Doug Pedersen makes all the calls.
John DeFilippo didn't even get a head coaching offer.
Did you like Steve Wilkes and his defense against the Saints in the playoffs?
Who did you want as the Bears head coach after you had a "sudden" change of heart due to 1 half of football?
He will never answer these questions. He's seen what happens when he does now. He can't create a track record of his negativity being proved incorrect.

I think Tremaine Edwards is the guy to keep your eye on for Pace. We'll see how he does at the combine.

That really dont mean anything about Nelson, tho.
If Nelson falls to 8, which i dont think he will, he will make six teams look stupid with the exception being whomever drafts Barkley.

Do you seriously read yourself?
In what world is Nelson a waste? Who do you take over what is considered a generational player if he falls to 8?
I prefer signing Norwell from Carolina.
Talk to the Bills about BOTH of their first round picks. Bears not moving that far down, unless both picks are in play.
If you pull that trade off, then take one the picks and trade it for additional picks (some team will want to move back into the first rd), ideally with one of those picks being a 1st or 2nd rd in next yr's draft. Then take BPA through the draft.

Who would you have hired for the coaching job if not Nagy? Assuming Gruden is off the table.
Gruden? This entire board was laughing at paying Gruden $100mn. IF BWC says Gruden for $100mn+ as HC for the Bears, I will call him out. No one thought that was smart by the Raiders.
I do not understand you confusion. What part of sign arguably best OG in the game. Take draft pick trade it for more picks, draft BPA is hard to understand?
I'm not saying it's as easy as that, I'm saying that's a scenario I would like to see the Bears get involved with. Better than taking an OG in top 10, considering the Bears history of OL in the draft, excluding Kyle Long.

Or;
Draft a generational guard in this draft, buy high on a vet WR Mitch can rely on instead of reaching for Ridley at 8, and fill in the gaps on defense thru FA and later picks.
A healthy Long and Nelson does wonders for Howard and makes Mitchell that much more secure. I want the guy who is impact day one instead of basking in some sort of potential superstar.
If Nelson falls to 8, thats bpa. You do not trade down when that type of talent is there for the taking outside of a complete overpay. The running mocks have what...four QBs going ahead of him atm? You take advantage of that.
Which WR would you target? That's not really a great #1 out there anymore.
The reason I like using the #8 on a pass rusher is there's pretty good options for FA at every other position... CB is pretty full, there's good guards out there, some decent mid-level WRs. The best pass rusher is what, Ziggy Ansah?
Not great.

Id take watkins over Calvin Ridley if he isnt franchised which, i dont think he will be.
Brown wouldnt be bad either. Your right, there is no true 1WR out there, but i dont think Ridley will be one, either.
Ansah would be great, id test the waters on Trent Murphy, too. This is a pretty stocked FA this year.
He defended a $100mn contract of a coach who's been out of the league for a decade with a career record of 95-81? How much is Belichick worth? $1bn?
He believes Gruden is a top 3 coach, he actually said Belichick, Gruden and Cowher are the only caoches he'd give that contract to.

So 2/3s of BWCs top NFL coaches have been out of the NFL for more than a decade! Where does Jimmy Johnson rank on his current coaching rank? Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells are still healthy and coached about a decade ago. The last time this scheme worked was with Dick Vermeil. It only worked because a grocery clerk turned QB became a HOFer.
This is the equivalent of bringing Scotty Bowman back to coach the Hawks. Or how about signing Phil Jackson for the Bulls next year? Maybe the Cubs should hire Joe Torre next year.

That is not something Bears can depend on at this point
Long's health going forward will be major concern and issue
