Another? When they coach for the first time it will be a welcome change!

We get it, you hate Caleb Williams. But this take is going to be embarrassing for you, soon enough.

Wow, dense much? It's spelled P-O-L-E-S!!!

Edit: I see upthread your definition of "soon enough" is "three years". How long has this regime been in place again? Can they *afford* sticking with The Caleb for another three years to find out?

 

[Panzerspitze]

Where was the highly paid 6'5 MLB on the 53-yd TD run with 4 secs remaining before the half? I thought the hype (AKA Poles propaganda) was Everflose was supposed to make a prime Leonard Floyd out of that guy.

Nothing more needs to be said of Nate Davis, who they can't even trade away due to the shambles on the OL the failed ex-lineman has "built" (to put it nicely).

Perhaps only one of Jayden Daniels, Kliff Kingsbury, and Dan Quinn makes the other two look good. The Bears could have gotten ALL or any combination of those three, but chose to get none. That's after bypassing Stroud last year.

Further, the current regime has just p*ssed away another formerly productive draftee by the previous regime, while Washington smartly snatches a 4-time Pro Bowler to help their team:

1st-and-10: Bears seek alternate ending to same movie

The Bears (4-4) again are in position to pat themselves on the back for getting out of a hole they dug. The difference this time? The only way the Bears can make the playoffs after running the upcoming NFC North gauntlet is by actually becoming a good team.

3. Is Khalil Herbert the next Darnell Mooney? Like Mooney, Herbert was a late-round draft pick by Pace (sixth round in 2021) who was immediately productive before falling out of favor.

Mooney, a fifth-round pick in 2020 who faded last season with the Bears, has thrived with the Falcons under a former Sean McVay assistant in offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.

Mooney has 41 receptions for 588 yards and five touchdowns this season — more catches and yards in nine games with the Falcons and Kirk Cousins than he had in 15 with the Bears and Fields/Tyson Bagent last season. Mooney has career-highs in yards per catch (14.3) and yards per game (65.3). He is second in the NFL with 14 receptions of 20 or more yards (behind Justin Jefferson’s 15).

Herbert, who was traded to the Bengals (and former McVay assistant Zac Taylor) for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick, is in the Mooney mold. He has averaged 95.5 rushing yards per game when he’s had 15 or more carries (205-1,051, 5.1 average in 11 games) and he led the NFL in rushing average (5.7) in 2022, when had 129 carries for 731 yards and four touchdowns.

In spite of the management failures piling up, the apologists still don't dare to hold the bumbling fool up the totem pole (pun not intended) to account.

Hey look, another rando pointing out the obvious, with numbers to back it up.

What we learned in NFL Week 9: We answered big questions and sized up every single matchup

NFL Nation reporters react to all the action, answering the biggest questions coming out of each game. Here's what we learned from Week 9.

www.espn.com

Eye-popping stat: Entering Sunday, Caleb Williams completed just 31% of his throws with 15 or more air yards, 29th among qualified quarterbacks. Against the Cardinals, he was 1-of-8 (12.5%). Williams finished 22-of-41 for 216 yards and was sacked six times. -- Courtney Cronin

Bad QB play. Bad offensive line. Bad separation by WRs. Bad coaching.


Whole bunch that needs to be fixed somehow.

One big miss: Bad management that pieced together this multilayered fail sandwich after three seasons at the helm.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Why so they can ruin him? Guarantee Daniels would NOT be doing what he is doing with WASH with the Bears.

Riddle me this: Who hand-picked this coaching staff and the surroundings of the QB?

With Daniels tendency to take big hits he’d absolutely be injured and missing games behind this line.

Who's responsible for assembling the roster, including the O-line?

 

[Panzerspitze]

It’s hilarious anyone would think Daniel’s would be thriving in this.

They could have gotten ALL or any combination of Daniels, Kingsbury and Quinn.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Caleb isn’t good

We get it, you hate Caleb Williams. But this take is going to be embarrassing for you, soon enough.

like... in "three years"... LOL

 

[HeisenBaez]

like... in "three years"... LOL

Development is not linear. What happens if Caleb takes off next year and Daniels takes a step back?

I've seen enough of Caleb this year to know he will be a good QB, now it's about finding consistency.

 

[Panzerspitze]

He didn't even miss a snap. Give me a f***ing break with the he's hurt shit. This staff is so far gone and these players verbally let everyone know last week. Now they physically let everyone know this week. Going to the sidelines DURING a play? Are you KIDDING???

Blasphemy! Trade Moore away for a 6th (ala Claypool)! :purple font:
