Caldwell would be a completely uninspired hire a la john fox. Theyd deserve the mediocrity that would follow.
We all want Fields to be great.
I just can't help but think that the Bears will find some way to f*** him up. Then he goes elsewhere and is good.
BTW if the finalists are really Poles' guys, I'd choose Caldwell, with the caveat that Poles/Caldwell grabs the guy that should be his successor for OC.
I want him to be great because he's the Bears QB.You did nothing but criticize the pick, and you've done nothing but talk shit about him his entire tenure here. I doubt you want him to be great.
You need to find some optimism and positivity, bud. I don't think I know a more negative person in existence.

I've seen some advanced stats that give me reason to be optimistic about him.
Believe what you want to believe, but in no way am I rooting for him to fail.Yeah I really doubt this.
I don’t recall ever hearing Manning praise Caldwell and he generally has been thorough with recognizing who helped him over the years. Did Caldwell really have much influence on Manning’s success?He has a proven track record with QBs of the tier of Peyton Manning and Matthew Stafford, and then doing really nothing with them when push came to shove.
I'm not going to riot if we hire him, but I'm not going to expect us to take many huge steps forward either with him.

Yeah this is basically how I feel about Poles. We obviously know very little about him at this point but I'm not impressed or unimpressed, definitely nervous though.I would be cool with Dan Quinn.
For the GM thing. Honestly, this Poles thing feels like deja vu from the Pace hiring. Rising young assistant from a top organization, great eye for talent, that most in the NFL say is an amazing hire. And they're less than a year apart in age from what Pace was when he was hired. But hey, just because Pace failed, doesn't mean Poles will as well. So I'm fine with it and hope the guys kills it.

I was really hoping for a more experienced guy who could lead the Bears football operations. This is another guy with minimal experience and a guy who has not been outside more than one, largely well run organization.
I think what is REALLY kind of weird though is they had like 12 zoom interviews and only had 1 in person interview and just hired that guy. Obviously they liked him, fair enough, but it's just really strange to me they spent so long talking to so many people and didn't interview at least 2-3 in person.
Again, not necessarily bad, just strange.

I shit on Fields this year because he was bad. Idk how much of that has to do with Nagy's incompetence and the OL, and how much is on him.
I didn't like Fields coming out of the draft because most of the games I watched of his against other good teams, he was pretty bad.
When someone pointed out that Aaron Rodgers is historically good when it comes to turnover prevention, I guess I didn't realize it because I held everyone to that standard. There's having high standards, and then there's ridiculousness. I guess I don't know the difference most of the time.
I used to think 12 INT was too many.
Statistically, it's very true. Mitch had a better passer rating as a rookie. Fields threw more INTs than TDs. (as a rookie I expect it to be close to 1-1)

PFF is a huge fan though.
I'm wait and see at this point. There are reasons to be excited and reasons to be concerned.
The microstats are reasons why he might be good in the future.
You thought Fields was good? I know he's a rookie and all but he was objectively terrible for most of the season. The two game stretch against SF and Pittsburgh was the exception.It's almost like you didn't watch this team play all season.
