Just read that the new GM will be Bogonzi, an assistant manager from KC. I have now seen several reports.

Totally agree but more reason for a QB to throw it away or dumb the ball off quickly to the back. So many times he just took the sack which makes me question his blitz recognition.

You are right, I only seen one report but he actually said he had a meeting set up to sign him as the next GM. That's why I worded it that he was the front runner for the job.

I stand corrected, he just developed Rodgers.

Daniels keeps showing off his great traits. Clearly the top rookie this year. Just shows you what good coaching can do for you. It produces wins. I hope history shows there was several top 10 QBs in this draft because Nix and Daniels have a head start on stardom. I still think Caleb will be a star if he ever gets out of the habit of holding the ball to long and becomes more accurate.

I get the impression they were spending time interviewing coaches for insight while they expected Johnson to not be available until after the SB. That has changed. They had George already scheduled, surprisingly, to speed up the Rooney rule. I heard reported they requested an interview with Tomlin and were denied. He would have cost a fortune, so it appears money will not get in the way. As dumb as I thought it was to interview so many coaches, it may have been a great idea. You just talked to 15? people about your team and got great insights into what some smart people think about your QB and overall perception of the team. Will the bears know how to use that to help them? It's the bears so that leaves doubt.

Some people think that Kingsbury has did a better job with a rookie QB than Johnson with Goff. Pluses: former HC Has developed QBs Has a relationship with Caleb Did have some success but failed after Murray got hurt. He may be looked at as a viable candidate for a HC job.

I seen another GM candidate has the edge at Titans, assistant at KC. No third round pick this year.

That will speed the process. Does this game make Kingsbury a better option?

Lions are going to lose today and Johnson becomes immediately available. The drama will end this week. As good of an offensive that Detroit has, they need a defense to get to a championship. Injuries may have doomed them but every team has injuries like us. Does this game make Kingsbury value go up? I think so. Former HC, QB development, had some success but faultered once Murray was hurt. Some may say that with a rookie QB, he has did a better job than Johnson.

Didn't see that. Johnson will command the the biggest paycheck in this coach cycle I believe. They still could work out a deal but it does add to the negatives of them signing Johnson.

A lot of journalists have made connections to the Raiders because of Brady and he could bring a GM with him. They don't have a first round pick this year, no QB of promise and play in a division with Mahomes, Herbert and Bo Nix. As tough as our division is we have JJ McCarthy, Jordon Love and an old Goff as rivals. Which job sounds better?

Of course not with Wilson. I will say that Farve and Rodgers were talented but also were developed under McCarthy. It's not my first or second choice for HC but if (and this is the same Bears organization) they did hire him, it wouldn't be as bad as I would perceive it. It's not the worst choice we could make. I originally said if they hired McCarthy, I would take a recess on my bears fandom but I now have changed that attitude.

As much as we could use a 3T to help with the pass rush, I like Dione Walker and Alfred Collins as huge NT types to fill in with Billings.

I've seen Skattebo name brought up several times by draftniks. Adam Mason is doing a lot of draft work right now. I'm using other people's opinions since they're putting in the time to look at tape that I'm not going to. Since I don't think Swift and Johnson are going anywhere this year, do we want a short yardage power guy, or a speed scat type of back? Someone that could do return work.

Show me Belichek record without Brady. Look threw history and you find all kind of examples. Carroll got fired after Wilson left. He had 14 seasons with 10 or more wins. That's good no matter who it is. I'm not trying to make a case for him but when you examine his history he is not as bad as I originally thought. Since neither of us get to choose the HC , the possibility exists it won't be who we want. I'm okay if it's Johnson, McCarthy or Carroll. All of them could have success here.

I already thinks it's a f'd up franchise. Getting the right HC is probably the most important decision they have had in a long time. I thinks it's one of those but I'm sure they're a few that would be good I'm just not insightful enough to know who that is. Brady and Monken might be good. None of them come with a guarantee but experience former HC gives a little more crede that we get it right.

You could find tape on any player and show where you question his dedication. He had a couple moments this year but you have to look at his overall play. Clearly the best offensive player on the team. Also if we're trying to get a great offense, getting rid of your best player is a bad idea. He had a talk every week on the SCORE this year. Clearly don't have a attitude problem.

McCarthy carries a better record than Carroll yet he's a retread and Carroll isn't? They both got let go on their respective teams. I totally didn't want McCarthy but the more you read about him the more you realize he checks a lot of boxes. We just need the right guy for culture, development and leadership. We all have opinions on who that is, hopefully the brass get it right this time. There is the possibility that several available coaches could be successful. I'm not sure who that is, I originally wanted Gruden, he's not even in the picture right now. Johnson, Carroll, McCarthy, Monken and Brady are all upgrades. I would accept any of those choices. On a different subject, X has some talking about trading DJ Moore. That's a ridiculous thought, he's our best offensive player.

A perfect example of a great defense was 2018. It carried us with Tribisky as the QB . We had a good running game that year also. The key to this year is to get the right person to help Caleb but you ask 10 different people and you may get 10 different opinions who that person is. Talent will rise to the top whether it's Carroll, Johnson or McCarthy. Now the right HC will accelerate that process. Obviously if we hire another Flus type that was be problematic. I think Caleb did decent with as bad as a situation as you can have in your rookie year. So I agree that Johnson is probably the best choice for HC but what if he decides to go to the raiders? Just trade him because we didn't get the best choice? Which still will need to be proven, it's only a projection right now. I'm saying several choices could still allow Caleb to grow it's not just Johnson or everything bad.

I can't believe I'm starting to get on the McCarthy bandwagon. One thing for sure, he will put great value in trying to beat GB. If you look at his record, very little losing.

The concept of a experience HC to help Johnson transition is a perfect storm. He brings the macho that I don't know if Johnson has. I never liked McCarthy but he fits everything you are looking for. Leader, offensive coach, success, won a SB. Believes in D and the running game. They say NO is interested but that can't be attractive to any coach with huge Cap problem. We could wait and if Johnson bails, I think McCarthy is still available. He may gain more favor with other teams. I will say winning in Dallas with all the Jones interference is a feather in his cap.

Totally in the same place. I want a high energy alpha coaching our team? Which one is that? Is McCarthy a hard ass? I have never thought that. I think Monken is that personally type. I think the wild card may be Kingsbury. Been with Caleb, former HC, development of QBs. Maybe AZ54 has insight into Kingsbury time in AZ.

Do I have a bad taste in my mouth about McCarthy because he was a Packer coach? I think he will be a winning coach but questioning him getting us to a SB. I think he is the only candidate that has actually won a SB. Maybe I need to be more open to him

With a good OL, any RB looks better.
