Dan Campbell and Jamaal Williams should be more than enough to make it a good season. Has to be better than last year at least.

He's an interior lineman who's started six career games lol (I know that what you said and what I said aren't mutually exclusive, but that dude isn't making or breaking the line. The absence of reliable starting tackles, on the other hand,)

Bates showed out last year and finding starting caliber linemen is hard. The Bears did Buffalo a real solid by not offering him more. Small sample size but teams have paid more than $4.5/y for guards that have never played well.

I think that contract is more than fair for his potential and I'm glad the Bears didn't offer more. There is still a level of risk involved based on sample size. I think there's a good chance he outplays that contract and I hope he does because it means Poles did a good job scouting him, but offering him $6 million a year would be a bad move regardless of how he turns out.

There are still a lot of solid free agents available and after the draft, we'll have a much clearer picture of what this team will look like. The problem is the Bears can't spend big on any one guy this year because they have so many holes to fill. I suspect Poles will just draft best player available and then fill the roster holes after the draft on positions he missed. It's just too soon to judge.

All I'm really saying is it is too early to be worried about it. Poles told us what his plan was going to be. He's been doing it. He told us he's going tonl focus on developing the offensive line, so I suspect we'll see a couple guys drafted there.

He told us he's going tonl focus on developing the offensive line, so I suspect we'll see a couple guys drafted there. I was skeptical of this, but I took a look at the free agents still left at tackle. This is a little bit out of date, but I think Jesse Davis is the only person whose signing hasn't been captured yet. Anyway, Nate Solder started 16 games for the Giants, Duane Brown started 17 games for the Seahawks, Bryan Bulaga only started one game for the Chargers but that was due to injury, Eric Fisher started 15 games for the Colts, and Daryl Williams started 17 games for the Bills, and there's more on the list. So, no star players like Armstead still available, but a lot of experienced guys at least. Some of them will probably still be available by the time you get to the summer and the asking price has nosedived. I dunno enough about guards to know if there's anyone even league-average left in that pool, but I also think that's one of the easiest positions for a rookie to be an effective starter for, and you should be able to get someone talented at that position at either 39 or 48. So yeah, you're probably right that it's too early to be worried about it.

It sounds well and good to fill the obvious gaps left in the team by paying for or bringing in new talent that will get the job done for cheaper, and obviously goons love talking about tanking, but think about the talent drain that happened to this team over the past 3 years and the fact that, if not for Ogunjobi failing a physical, the Bears would have once again recieved no compensatory picks. Go look at the teams who will probably make the playoffs but still are also getting free 3rd round picks. LA Chargers, Dallas, Tennessee, the loving Rams have two, the Niners, I can go on Meanwhile we're treading water trying to get lucky. That's what ultimately pisses me off about this franchise

That is definitely what pisses me off about Pace, but this regime is trying to do a hard course correct and I'm happy to have them completely crater this year if next offseason we are in a position to succeed.

I was really hoping the Bears signed him on for special teams. I dont quite understand why the raiders didnt stick with him. My only thought maybe he is just ok at HC and the turnaround the raiders had was inevitable because Gruden lost the locker room. Just speculating.

You can't consistently win in this league without a franchise QB. And you're not going to be able to figure out if Fields is that guy if he's hurt or throwing to a bunch of trash cans. The other thing is that maybe they just don't think Fields is a franchise QB. Maybe the plan is to be horrendous and draft the next franchise QB with the top 3-5 pick they're likely to have. That would make sense since it's going to be awfully tough for Fields to develop with this roster.

If Fields is destined to become a flop then I must be fuckin blind because I see a good rookie with not a lot of help, who can run really well and already has an extremely accurate deep ball. And if you can't start winning with that then maybe you should just trade him to somebody who can

It seems like a substantially bigger risk to hope you can get a better guy than Fields a year or two from now when you have Fields right now and it's only his second year in the league. You still have to develop the QB you get a year or two from now assuming you even get the guy you have your eye on, which means 4-5 years until you start winning. Unless they think Fields has already been broken beyond repair by Nagy, it's not like the lifespan of a good QB is so short they need to write off Fields ASAP for the vague dream of a slightly better guy in the future.

I have zero doubt that Justin Fields is a franchise quarterback. My only concern is what absurdity will derail his career. It won't be football related. His athleticism and work ethic are too good. But I'm not sure the Bears are allowed to have a good quarterback.

bears shouldn't be allowed to draft quarterbacks, it's too cruel. just assign them the most andy daltonish quarterback every year and let them draft linebackers.

Not an unfair point but if the answer is just "lol Bears" then they doesn't really incentivize the Bears themselves to give up on him for a future prospect. Short of coming to some incredibly self-aware realization and giving up on the QB position entirely, their best way forward lies in trying to give it their best shot with Fields (even if they end up loving it up)
