       Ryan Poles was the right hire.  McCaskey got that right and
       deserves credit for it.  Ever since Poles got hired we have been
       doing things the right way.  Bears are on the up and I
       personally see big things in future.  Whatever they do, do not
       let Poles walk!!

       JJ, I watched Fields against the Bills but was watching in a
       crowded while eating dinner.  However, from what I saw he has
       all of the same problems and the same skillset that gives you
       hope.  He is not a finisher when the game was on the line he
       faltered.  He also had a hard time getting them into the
       endzone.  I think Tomlin will cater to his skill set better than
       the Bears did.  I am not sure Fields would have been as open to
       it with the Bears as he is now.  The jury is still out on if he
       can be great or not, but I think he will be a decent NFL starter
       someday.
       Wshfl, I am not being negative.  I am being realistic.  It is
       obvious Williams has a ton of talent and could very well end up
       being the best Bears QB we have had in our lifetimes.  But he is
       a rookie so don't expect it this season.  He will have some
       amazing games, but he will also make some big mistakes that will
       cost them games.  It is just the nature of the beast.
       All I am suggesting is to lower your expectations for this year
       and hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised instead of being
       deeply disappointed.  If you expect SB this year you are setting
       yourself up.  Hope for a wildcard playoff game and go from
       there.

       hiber, I agree.  He has definitely righted the ship and has them
       headed in the right direction.
       The hard part is keeping the team together after this year.

       I would rather hang on to Cunningham for as long as possible
       over having the comp 3rds.  He was the one who was keeping Poles
       from trading up when he was getting antsy on draft night.  Poles
       and Cunningham make a great team.  Even though the Bears did
       give him a contract extension, I know he will get his own GM gig
       soon.  It would be nice though if he at least sticks around long
       enough to get a ring with the Bears.

       The Bears have their starting QB on the first year of a contract
       - I'm not too concerned - there's flexibility.
       Just hang on to the those 2025 draft choices and resist the urge
       to spend draft picks and cap on high priced aging veterans.

       You have to have quarterback wideout left tackle pass rusher and
       lock down corner.  The rest are interchangeable.  Bears have all
       under new contracts but may have to upgrade Jones contract if he
       plays well.  The Bears are in good shape and have a first and 2
       second picks next year.

       I'd throw Nate and VJ out there for all 4 quarters.  Just
       because...
