I'm fairly confident this fanbase would rather see a revolving door of GMs, Coaches, and QBs than see success. (alien.top)

Here's a question:

Do you want the Bears to go 4-3 the remainder of the year taking 1 of 2 from the Lions thus showing tangible improvement? The danger is Flus comes back

- or -

Go 1-6 the rest of the year and have a new coaching staff with potentially Poles gone?

Pretty sure the majority pick the latter.

I think we have to look at the situation Poles and Flus inherited to truly understand why things are difficult. They had minimal draft capital, struggling cap, and a roster that was aging. I think they’ve really addressed that. We are not going to turn the ship around in one or even two off seasons.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I want consistency and stability. I think it’s too soon to start firing people left and right and say we need a new QB. It sucks that Justin got injured when he did because if he could have balled out for a third game in a row, that would have shown something.

It takes more than one off-season to build a team. I still think there’s holes and I trust that Poles and Flus see it and use our draft capital/cap to address them. Next year to me is a prove it year. You’ve had 3 off seasons at that point to evaluate draft picks and use the cap to improve. I think a lot of the fan base is so quick to judge and expect instant success and that’s just unrealistic.
