Yes but the Line is pretty decent. The coaching is pretty decent. Collins and Dell may end up being Pro Bowlers. Dalton Schultz is a good TE. And Dameon Pierce and Devin Singletary is a very good backfield.
Having a decent, stable situation as a rookie would be leagues ahead of the situations Fields had in each of his first two years.
The biggest problem is that for the offense we are currently running (even thought it sucks), he is the archetype of QB that would have been most successful in it.
That means that Poles either missed horribly on his evaluation, or that Poles and the coaching staff have no idea what type of QB fits this system.
Do you think Stroud played well today?
Agreed. Would be hard to spend more high level draft capital at the position.
He does EVERYTHING at an elite level. Even run blocking.
I am not sure many Bear fans have watched him play because there seems to be a lot of people that either don’t think he is as good as he is or are willing to let him go to someone else.
The two most premium non-QB positions in the league are WR and EDGE. If you have the chance to draft a Hall of Fame talent at either you can’t pass it up
Yeah it’s not like the Lions also took a QB #1 and then proceeded to never even win a playoff game.
We were also prioritizing touches to Evans instead of Roschan for a few weeks and he isn’t even on the team anymore
Our coaching is bad, but make no mistake, this isn’t a playoff roster.
The O line is finally coming together. We have a #1 WR and a top end TE and that is about it on offense.
On defense, Sweat is the only legitimate starter (the young DTs are growing but not fully there yet), the LB unit on paper should be pretty good but have underperformed (possibly due to bad D Line play) And most of the secondary has underperformed aside JJ (Stevenson plays high risk high reward and Gordon has been pretty good in the slot)
We are probably a WR and a DL/DB away from being a playoff roster, which luckily enough we could theoretically get with just our first two draft picks.
The roster is probably a 6-8 win team while we will probably finish with 4-6 wins.
I really like the way Sam Howell plays. He doesn’t get enough credit because the Commanders are are the Commander
I’ll forgive them for what they did week 18 last year.
The two best teams in the NFL are the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles.
Don’t let the meatheads here tell you that you can’t win with a mobile QB
