What I dont know is, why after the blow up against Washington, he hasnt played well since? One play destroyed his confindence? I would think after a few weeks he would have tried to prove himself instead of fall deeper in a hole. A new coach may lift him up but if he needs that to pick himself up, is that worth the risk ? Has he affected the rest of the defensive backfield ? Their play has dropped off weekly. I think keeping players like Nate Davis, and V Jones around longer than they had value was not good for the overall culture of the team. Is Stevenson affecting his team mats? Terrell Smith may not have the wow plays Stevenson has but he is more consistant. His play has gotten better with every game.

We have picks (as of now) 9-35-41-73-147-203-244 We have 82 mil in cap space. You can sign 1 /20 mil player and 1 12-15 mil.player. My information will be off OTC numbers. We sign RG /Trey Smith to a 102 mil/ 5 yr- guaranteed 54/ mil Logic: matches highest paid RG with KC having Cap restrictions We sign Teshawn Wharton/DT (26) from KC to a 4/36 mil 15 mil guaranteed logic: KC has cap restrictions and OTC has his value at 7.2 yr. Draft: We trade # 9 to Chargers for #21-51-124- 2026 #2 Logic; Harbaugh wants stud RB Ashton Jeanty We trade Tryrique Stevenson to SF for pick 107 logic: SF has 5 CBs hitting FA # 21 Wyatt Milum/OT 3rd rated OT in draft # 35 Landon Jackson/DE 6'7 280 4.68 great run defender with 14 sacks ovwe last 2 yrs. # 41 Derrick Harmon/DT high upside as a 3T #51 Jack Majors/ C top rated center in draft, nasty attiude Zack Frazier was drafted 51 last year. #73 Dylan Fairchild/OG high end prospect from Georgia #107-#124-#147-147-203-244 Used Draft Buzz and GBNdraft Report for reference.

Today we signed Johnathan Ford/DT off of Packers PS which means he is on the 53 man roster. 6-5 340 lbs. A perfect time to steal a guy with 4 weeks ro see if he can play. Packers have a very good DL so hard for other players to get a chance. Also signed Royce Freeman to the practice squad. 6' 238 adding some size until Johnson comes back. One yr with Denver he had 531 yds and 5 TDs so he has experience playing.

Poles was given 3 choices at HC when he was hired and then added Warren after that they gave power to. It seems to be problems in the franchise is coming over Poles head which helps make him look bad. If I was him, and if I dont get player control of coaches and players, i would resign too. When Harbaugh called last year it was Warren that nixxed it, we dont know if Poles wanted to talk to Harbagh or not but is taking the heat for others actions.

I would like all of those choices. I would like Trey Smith, thinking KC is going have a hard time paying a RG 20 mil a yr with their cap situation. The top rated edge is Mack who is making 25 mil this year and is owed 8.8 mil next year in a voided yr. Not sure he would come back here after being traded. SD is competive and have Harbaugh, dont think he is going to leave SD. Their are few other ones more productive edge not sure worth a big contract. The only edge I could find making mote sacks (7) than Mack was Joel Sweat. IDL may be a better place to upgrade overall play at DT. We are going to making 3 top 40 picks and a 70ish pick. 2 OL and 2 DL. I have seen a lot of mocks already and they are picking RBs,TEs, CBs, so many dumb people out there. Booker is developing but hasnt had an impact yet. Pickens is showing up a little at a time, Dexter has 5 sacks and will be among the IDL leaders at seasons end. The great Jalen Carter only has 4.5. Billings will be back. Sweat has nagging injuries that has effected his play.We add a vet and a couple high end rookies and i think the DL will be just fine.

We just competed with them a few weeks ago but I dont think this one will be better results. i think Brown was working well with Caleb but with HC responabilty be spread to thin to do both jobs well. Williams may one day be a good DC but for now, a little lost when trying to out think good coaches.

I guess my point is , you view everything from a black-white argument, their doesnt seem to be middle ground with you. I am all in Caleb but I dont try pretend he doesnt make mistakes. Poles has several bad transactions but he has did some good things. You were totally right about Flus but dont accept he actually is a good D call players. Now if we compare them to the best personel we could get at GM or HC, clearly they dont compare but I dont think Poles isnt getting fired and not sure whoever they hire at HC will give us better results. If they choose you, i would be wanting you to succeed until you proved you couldnt do it. i hope Poles chooses a Vrabel, or Gruden type and succeed but until we know , I'll be sceptical. If Warren gets rid of Poles, I'll be more skeptical they get it right. I keep seeing w/o validation where Harbaugh wanted to apply for the HC job and Warren nixxed it not Poles. I think Poles is close to having a complete team and afraid a new regeme with just waste a few more yrs of Calebs rookie deal withj a reset.

Armstrong belongs to the America First group. I tried to find a client list but havent been successful yet. I did see Licoln Riley, PSU coach, James Franklin, Mike McCarthy are clients.

I have been looking at a ton of draft stuff considering how our season as went. In order of high end talent. Graham/DT Campbell/OT Carter/DE Banks/OT I have seen Banks listed in the top 20 more than the top 10. Campbell at the bottom of top 10s a lot. It seemm Graham is a prize and Carter not far behind.There are lots of IOL littered in the second and 3rd rounds. So you do you draft BPA or need. Honestly the OL are close enough to top of the talent level to pick at 5-9 depending on where we land. Braxton will never be better than just average but Kiran A. was drafted (2nd round talent) to compete with Braxton. Do we go BPA available with our first pick DT or DE and draft a OT later then add a OG and C in 2nd and 3rd rounds?

You are right, he should have not drafted Caleb and got a bunch of picks and fixed the OL and DL. He should have kept Fields and we would have a few more wins right now. We need to bring a new GM in and start over for the hundreth time then in 3 yrs ,do it again. I dont know what I was thinking.(its the same ownership)

The stateman was, the defense would have played better under Flus. You want to inject his HCing decisions. That wasnt the point. You keep trying to dismiss Flus having any value at all. Not sure why that bothers you. You should focus on complaining about us not hiring Harbaugh, he absolutely would have been a great choice but Warren wouldnt allow it, cant blame Poles for that. Caleb is our QB of the future but you dismiss his bad play but have no problem itemizing anyone elses mistakes. Calebs farts must smell like roses to you.

Brown is auditioning for the job. first game -F I like Vabrel and dont think hiring an offensive coach for sake of being a offensive coach shouldnt be the main theme. Vrabel reminds me of Dan Campbell. He's experienced and has had succeess. His problem was at QB, we dont have that problem.

Good post but until the Bears are sold? Its a slow change or find a new team.

I suspect when he said it would take 4 to 5 yrs of drafts to build a winner and we are only in yr 3, they may have believed him. Add in the bad coach they gave him the choice to work with may give him another yr. He did a complete rebuild, Im not sure any GM has ever did that before. Maybe Jim Finks?

Everyone gets some of the blame, I trust Poles to find someone than Warren and George. Whether Flus was his choice or not, he has bought into the coahes that came in. i think he is smart and puts him in a better position to make a better choice than constant russian roulette every 3 yrs.

Yes we can

Truthfully, I dont disagree with you, i just dont think the Bears are firing him, so I roll with the notion he is going to be here.

Yesterday if i posted I would have brought gasoline to the bonfire, but today, Im going to quit looking into the past( 7 game losing streak) and try ti find positives for this team for the future. It only needs to start with Caleb, we have a top 5 type Qb, the rest will fall into place. With saying that, he gets some blame for this debacle to, as a rookie he has a long way to go, but Im already looking at next year and his future. Its never as bad as it looks or as good as it looks. Its a team with the arrow pointing up with Caleb here. What coach said (only losers live in the past). That's my take also.

Im willing to say we are the worst team in the league right now but that doesnt mean we are void of talent. My proof that we arent that far away that 6 new trench players (draft and FAs) could fix is the 4 games we played good teams that was lost at the end of games. Its still a loss but i think it means we are closer to their talent level than miles away. they all added players this yr to , yet we competed. Im willing to say with a good coach we would have beat at least 3 of those teams and easily beat NE. So we would be 8-5 and that almost happened with a terrible coach.

You can talk for 50 hours that doesnt make a statement true. facts are no one knows unless a hallas hall employee puts his name on the story. By history of the franchise, they are not payig 10 mil for Flus to walk away and then big money on a name, Im not claiming a source, Im just guessing just like you. I am just giving my opinion on stories, just like you, Im not claiming to know anything. Its all fiction until someone puts a name on it.

So what makes you think the next guy does everything the right way? You take a chance on changing defense scheme, maybe not believing in Caleb, hires the wrong coach. all of the same problems we have right now. Poles needs to get this yr to prove he stablizes the franchise. No matter what mistakes he has made, he has did as many good things. We cant keep reaching for near perfect, that's not going to happen here. He got us Caleb, lets dont reset and have a couple yrs of setbacks because of new people.

Totally agree, emotionally responding to losing has everythink looking bad. Poles had a plan at OL, it simply failed. Davis was a check out, Jones has regressed, jenkins is always hurt, Bates never healthy and Wright up and down. Add 3 FA or high draft picks and this will look completely different.

Williams is not Flus, to much info to try to inject in a game. He failed and still could be a decent DC, need more input. We can talk about 10 team captains on this team but some players have lost focus, not talent, its a mess right now. Time we start pointing fingers at players. First would be T Stevenson.

From a reality look, he would have one target no matter how its listed in the stats.

I dont think its as bad as you say but we do need 4 new bodies on the OL and DL. I think we will be drafting between 5-7. In that spot we can have a choice of the top 2 OL prospects in the draft. We grab a LT, Jones has fallen off, make him the swing T and he will be okay as a backup. Kiran was brought in to compete at LT but not this year, you draft Will Campbell/LSU that could play several positions. Who ever wins the LT battle, the other guy goes to LG. Bring back Jenkins to compete for that spot at a team friedly contract.(injuries) We have 4 top 72 picks. No center is rated hiring than a late 2nd round so i suspect we can get a good prospect in the 3rd round. Resign Shelton , Bates is already here( may not be for long) and have them compete for OC. Get Trey Smith ( I dont care what it costs) for RG. Wright/RT has been up and down but still has great upside. I think that fixes the OL. Dont resign Allen that is a luxury a bad team cant afford. Bring in some later picks to compete, Scott is still on the roster but dont expect anything. Kmet is an above average TE that has simplily not been given enough targets this yr to look good. Everett hasnt showed anything because he isnt part of the offensive plan but he is signed for next yr, might as well just give him some snaps. Because of the emotional reaction to a 7 game losing streak we are in (burn it down) mode. We have some good players, Caleb Williams and cap space/draft capital. If we could fire Poles and bring in a Belicheck type, it could save our future. they are not hiring a 20 mil a yr guy, so forget the hero hire. If we keep changing everything every 3 yrs, we will be always be in chaos. Since we have Caleb now, we need to find stabity at least with Poes staying in place of which I dont think is getting fired anyways. So Poles will have to make the right hire but we have to leave Warren out of it. He's the person that blow off a Harbaugh talk. (clashed as Big 10 commish). Vrabel, Gruden, I dont want a new coach type learning curve. With 4 yrs of Caleb left we need to roll day one. With a good coach hire, and some new bodies we should be a winning team next yr.
