How, on Earth, do you people think that a better GM than Ryan Poles is going to take this job if we fire him?
The problems on this team have been around for generations. Decades. Lifetimes. And you want to give him two seasons to fix every single one of those issues? And because he hasn’t yet, we should fire him and assume a better GM is gonna swoop in and save the day? How long are you gonna give that mythical guy?
The man tanks a season to get draft picks and deals away players who either had underperformed (Mack, Quinn), or total head cases who were a pain in the ass to deal with and didn’t fit the system or culture he wants to build (Roquan).
Jaylon Johnson gets two picks against doo-doo-ass Brian Hoyer, and you guys act like he’s Deion Sanders. He’s good, but not “reset the CB market” good. Poles stands firm, and JJ didn’t get nearly the offers he thinks he deserves. Huh. Imagine that.
He’s brought in promising young players. He even re-signed everyone’s favorite dumbass TE (a move I personally regard as a mistake but I’m clearly in the minority there). He’s managed the cap perfectly for the future, beyond this rebuild season. He’s amassed draft picks most GMs wouldn’t even dream of having at their disposal.
He even fixed the trash-ass Soldier Field turf, ffs. He deserves another year for that alone.
You really think someone better is going to take this job? Really? Shit, Ian Cunningham isn’t even in our league, and he’s the assistant GM.
Bears fans don’t deserve Poles.
I’d like to complain about people who hold things up by complaining about people complaining. It’s about time something was done about it.
Ryan Poles has made us the worst team in the league and the worst in Bears history during his tenure and the only teams we have beaten are bad ones with backup QBs.
I will not understand why some Bears fans will defend this man like he has accomplished a single damn thing
