I think my biggest concern and this isn’t a direct answer to this question so I apologize. But my concern is who’s developing these offensive talents. As a die hard Bears fan, it’s exhausting to watch year after year an offense that underperforms, players not playing / reaching their full talent and potential. Bad schemes , play calling, in-game adjustments , late game adjustments. This falls on coaching and player development. I watch a team like the Houston Texans as this seasons progressed and you see a lot of young talent on the offensive side of the football that has really started this season (especially the last 5 games) that has flashed signs of brilliance. Stroud, Tank Dell, Nico Collins are all first or second year players exceeding expectations and showing great chemistry. It’s not perfect , but my point is here you see these guys are being well coached, being put into situations to “be themselves” , but also be well coached , and the high IQ and chemistry isn’t something in consistency the bears have had. I wonder if Stroud was a Bear would he be having the exact success he is as a Rookie in Houston? Te conclusion I come to is probably not. I’m open to everyone’s thoughts and opinions, just sharing my own. Please feel free to share your thoughts as well. Thanks all Bear Down 🐻
