Fangio is the exception he’s the best overall coach that we’ve had in a minute
This is extremely cherry picked and just looms on what it looks like today.
Jordan Love is a first year starter and I hate to say it but he’s playing better. Can’t call him a mess yet
I had to reread you calling Herbert a miss 10 times to make sure I read it correctly
Watson would’ve been a hit for the Texans if he never got into legal trouble, that wasn’t a skill issue that was off the field stuff
Jared Goff wasn’t a miss for the Rams, he was on a team that made the SB. Yeah they traded him but to say he was a bust pick is dumb and he’s playing today
RGIII isn’t a miss if he doesn’t get hurt and the coaches don’t force him to play
Dude decided to follow Brandon Staley from the Bears to the Chargers, what a loyal Bears fan
I just want the #1 overall pick lol
I’m not a Fields Stan by any means, but I do root for whoever is under center for the Bears whether it be Bagent, Trubisky, Fields whoever it is.
I’m not opposed to the idea of drafting Maye or Williams, but I’m not gonna root for a player who isn’t even on our team yet lol
Why not root for the guy we currently have till the end of the year and if we change QB’s, root for the next guy. It’s that simple. If you’re rooting for Fields to fail, then you’re just as bad as the people who would root for Caleb or Maye to do bad here just to prove a point
I don’t think there’s a near 0% chance, but either one is entirely possible. It’s too much to speculate right now even, and it doesn’t make much sense.
There are factors aside from just Fields’ play that will come into the equation like if the new HC likes a prospect more than he does Fields, then even if Fields balls out he wouldn’t stay.
I’m honestly tired of having this talk like every single day because we truthfully won’t know the answer to the question until after they hire their new coach and the season ends
It’ll honestly become apparent before draft day even. Let’s say they have the first pick and trade down, that just automatically tells me that they’re not going the QB route. We will probably know the answer to the question by next March.
As of right now there isn’t a right answer obviously and both opinions are valid and have their advantages and disadvantages
Fangio is on the Phins I believe. Also, Getsy was a QB coach too with no play calling experience who we let call plays. Ben Johnson would be our first hire in recent memory that actually came from an OC role. Most teams hire from a coordinator role for head coaches, why the Bears decided to make QB coaches into head coaches is beyond me, they must’ve thought it would develop their QB’s which simply hasn’t happened
I agree it was a foolish hire. But, I do think that we will go offensive minded for the next hire for whatever reason we seem to alternate between the two.
I’m liking Eric Bienemy from Washington or Ben Johnson from Detroit as of right now, but I wouldn’t mind Harbaugh being our guy either.
Harbaugh is defensive minded but he knows how to build a football team and run one due to prior experience.
I’d be fine with any of the 3 candidates I listed though, but Eric Bienemy really should be a guy who Bears fans want because he’s making a 5th rounder in Sam Howell look decent as a passer and he’s doing that behind the worst o line in football
The 2021 Raiders weren’t really a bottom tier team, but they can be used as an example. Gruden resigned as the teams coach and they were sitting at 6-7 at a point that year.
Keep in mind all the Henry Ruggs stuff also happened that season. They got Rich Bisaccia as their interim and despite all the hardship they faced, they went 10-7 and made the playoffs.
Keeping the topic on the Raiders, they fired Josh McDaniels and with Antonio Pierce they are 2-1, 5-6 as a team. They can very well make the playoffs because the culture in that building has changed.
Firing Eberflus and Getsy likely won’t punch the Bears a playoff ticket right now considering we’re at 3-8, but it can help to get culture all together, which is more important. You don’t win football games with poor culture.

2014 season when Rodgers came into soldier field and beat the Bears 17-38 lol… that was a messy season to get into football when I was younger considering Trestman is considered as one of the worst coaches the bears have had
Eberflus is a good defensive coordinator like he displayed in Indianapolis but he isn’t a good head coach. Josh McDaniels always seemed like a decent OC in NE whether it be bc of Brady or not, but he was a terrible HC. Same thing with a guy like Matt Patricia, there were some very good patriot defenses under him but he was a terrible coach for the Lions.
The takeaway here is that just because someone is a great coordinator doesn’t mean they can steer the ship properly. That being said, the Bears should go for a somewhat experienced offensive minded coach who has had play calling experience before, not like Nagy and Getsy who were basically new to play calling when they arrived in Chicago
I want the team to win. I’ll do whatever it takes to win, but do I think that Eberflus is the guy that’ll happen with? Likely not. I feel like firing him is the best move because it’s looking like Justin Fields may not be here in Chicago next season especially if Carolina gifts us the first overall pick. Unless Fields goes out there and balls out for the last 7 games assuming he comes back, they aren’t gonna keep him. I really want him to be the guy too, in an ideal world we keep Fields and just keep on building bc around him instead of starting over.
But, I don’t want Eberflus/Poles to draft a QB, then get fired and then it becomes a thing of “well this new HC and GM didn’t draft this QB!” Because that’s already happened twice, with Nagy it was the literal reason why they let him stay because “he didn’t want Mitch” and people actually thought that with a better QB Nagy would be amazing (laughable lol), I mean look at the dude in KC rn, that offense isn’t good even with Mahomes.
Overall, I just want to see if we can retain Fields, if so good for the future but if not, fire Eberflus and bring in an offensive mind to develop that QB.
It makes sense he did that considering Gase was the OC of the 2013 Broncos who had a historically great offense, Manning threw for 5,477 yards and 55 TD’s.
And Gase was the play caller
