I asked him WHY & the answer he gave me brought me to tears.
Here’s THE BEST LESSON my dad ever taught me.
Our first intentional excellence award of this season goes to Grace Torgerson. Grace has demonstrated this by taking the time to help a teammate on the freshman level improve her catching skills. We are proud of you! @EaglesAthletics@csathboosters@SandburgTennis@SandburgHS
Some thoughts:
1. If a contract extension doesn't come for Matt Eberflus (aka assurance for the next offensive staff coming in), then I think it will be challenging for the Bears to find the pool of candidates they want for an OC, QBs coach, etc. If you're an OC with offers to go several places, why take a job with a head coach entering lame duck status who could be gone if the team doesn't win in 2024? If the HC ends up being fired after next season, nearly every time the whole staff is gone. That's something an OC and his offensive staff would have to consider.
2. If the Bears stick with Justin Fields in 2024, they will be asking him to learn his 3rd offense in 4 years. It takes a whole year alone to master the verbiage of an offense as we were told first hand from Fields and his offensive teammates. That seems like a tall ask for a QB still trying to find his footing after 38 career starts.
3. If no extension comes for Eberflus and the Bears trade Fields and draft a rookie QB with the No. 1 overall pick, the team is perpetuating the same cycle we've seen since John Fox-Mitchell Trubisky, then Trubkisy-Matt Nagy, then Nagy-Justin Fields, then Fields-Matt Eberflus. Ultimately, the Bears could have broken that cycle if they decided to make changes across the board but are moving forward with Eberflus in 2024 and a *massive*, franchise-altering decision to make a QB in the coming months.
Stay tuned.
Let’s not forget where GM Ryan Poles came from: KC. They had a very good Alex Smith, but that did not stop them from trading up for a better QB prospect. Chicago will do their due diligence, and if they believe a prospect is better than Fields, they won’t hesitate to draft him.
