The O-Line is solid and will be better once we draft or sign a Center

Our TE1 is pretty good

Our WR1 is great

Very good Running Game with a decent RB group

There is nothing to be ashamed about on this offense and a Rookie QB with a good OC should thrive

Man I don’t think they should pass up on Harrison Jr. they need to do whatever they can to make sure they get him

Fields will be back.

There's 0% chance Eberflus and Fields are back next year if Poles is kept (which I'm fairly certain he will be considering the Sweat trade + contract). People are already calling for Poles' job and if he gets fired soon, he'll never get a GM job again. If he goes down, he's gonna want to go down swinging with a coach and QB that are 100% his picks

Poles set Fields up to fail and is now looking to scapegoat whoever he can.

Poles should be fired with the rest of this garbage regime.

I agree that the roster is a lot better than our record, but none of that matters if we whiff on our next QB or coaching hire. This will be the one of the most important offseasons in Bears history

The ‘pieces are in place ‘

Defense is really starting to lock in, offensive line is healthy and playing consistently well, and the skill positions are living up to the expectations. DJ and Kmet have been amazing, the RB room is still 4 deep, and I think Mooney is struggling because the scheme and JF aren’t involving him at all.

Add into that the fact we still have the most cap space in the NFL, really good draft picks that can be used for even more blue chip talent, and (hopefully) a revamped coaching staff ready to take the team to the next level.

I’ve seen a lot of media outlets say caleb will end up staying back another year because Chicago is “that bad” but I think that’s objectively false. Considering the #1 pick we have isn’t even ours, this isn’t a traditional “top pick is always the worst team” which doesn’t happen often. If I was Williams or Maye, I’d be happy to go to Chicago over NE, NY, Arizona, or Washington.

Outside of QB and OC, everyone else on this team is only getting better every week. I am very excited to see the new talent we add to this roster, and it’s not unreasonable to see this team go from 5-6 wins to 8-10 assuming the QB we get lives up to expectations.

Love fields and want the best for em but it’s just not gon be here probably it never was(fuck eberturd/nd his shitty principles)tbh that being said team inna good spot for the offseason

I think the first overall pick is just too valuable in trade to use it on a QB when we have a good young QB that we’re still developing.

I think Poles best shot is to hitch his wagon to Justin Fields for better or worse and use the load of draft picks to make the remaining 52 roster spots as strong as he can.

You know if we really had a good GM there wouldn't have to be so many posts blowing smoke up his ass.

Definitley need backup depth at guard. Jenkins, while great, still presents a liability with injury history.

Drafting another QB is a mistake. Build around Fields and Bagent. Fill in other spots through the draft.

That's quite possible as long as the QB prospect looks at the roster and not the coaching staff.

And we have an additional first for help anywhere else that we need immediate help.

I would not snag any of these top QB prospects. I might reach for someone in the 2nd like if Bo Nix were to slide

I don’t think any QB has ever looked at the Bears as a good situation, but if they drafted MHJ that might change things. How good would Cousins or Goff be with Moore and MHJ and a competent Oline?

I think the idea of the Bears competently developing a QB is absurd, but if they put the pieces in place for a decent QB to thrive that is a more realistic path to follow. And there will be QBs available. Doesn’t have to be a top draft pick.

Also cap space.

Man this situation looks good for the QB1 we already have … if we ditched the coaches

Doesn’t matter if our coaching sucks.

OP when they made this post:

Would the Patriots give us Judon, the #2 pick for MHJ and next years 1st rounder for our #1 so they can draft Caleb?

If so, I’d do that in a heartbeat.

That still requires this franchise to pick the right QB...

I’m in the trade down camp because I believe there is almost no chance Williams will be more valuable as a player than some of the crazy offers #1 will get but I can certainly agree with the logic in OP that the teams timeline matches a rookie QB.
