@Bearsau7r@DarrylConrad Darnell and Kyler were good picks. Braxton, Brisker, Tyrique, and Dexter are backup caliber players. There’s a reason we let brisker and Dexter go.
Caleb was a consensus #1 pick, every GM in the league would have taken him. It’s not a “good” or “bad” pick.
@Johnathan_Wood1 Honestly this whole discussion around Poles/defense is a litmus test. Because of Poles’ ineptitude, the Bears are basically throwing in the towel on what should have been a prime year of contention. It’s now looking like next year will be our best shot for a while….
@BobbyBooshay713 Those who wanted to keep Justin Fields demonstrated they have zero understanding of football and can safely be ignored on all topics related to the sport.
@SoldierFieldBlg And what exactly are his philosophies? Because he hired and retained Eberflus and then also hired Ben Johnson. Can you think of two more diametrically opposed coaches / ideologies?
Or his thesis to build defense “outside in”. How’s that working for the defense?
@17Joe76@ilannfl18 ….yes. Ben is now the “top football guy”. Poles just gets guys Ben wants. This is a different set up than Poles had with Flus, where Poles was a legitimate GM. In case you were wondering why suddenly we were finding quality offensive talent in the draft outside the top 10
