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 have boiled this down to the two types of fans we have here.

    We have the fans that are pumped they have fire because lightning struck, or mad they don’t have it because it was a clear night…never thinking how fire starts. Just they have fire now, or don’t and react.

    Then you have the fans here who try to understand the steps to making a fire, and understand that there can be logic and reason behind each action and that rubbing a few sticks together take time if you don’t have gasoline (QB) or a match (good coach).

    It really is unfortunate because it turns this sub reddit into a breeding ground of extremes that makes it unbearable to both groups of fans. Very toxic.
