Even better: look in the mirror and ask, “does my opinion on the Chicago Bears strategy have any impact whatsoever on what the team does?”

The answer is no. So realize that any time you come on this sub to make your 1,000th post about how Fields sucks and he needs to go, you are just bitching amongst a sea of bitchers. This is a Bears fan forum, ride with the players or go somewhere else. Bear down.

Bro rich people steal small shit the most. It’s not about the value of the items.

90% of people that had rich friends in high school have stories about those rich friends stealing all the time.

It’s just nice to go on r/nfl and see the backseat GMs starting to shit on Bryce Young instead of Fields.

One annoyance is a lot of people are giving Young the benefit of the doubt–people saying he has no one to throw to and the coaches suck so it’s not his fault. I wonder where that same energy was during Fields’ last 2 seasons. 33 year old Adam Thielen is better than any of the WRs we had last year.

If I’m applying logic to Poles’ strategy as GM, I think his plan is this:

1.) Slowly fill the roster with athletic freaks. “Football ability” is secondary

2.) Evaluate the roster: is there enough talent to make the playoffs? If no, continue to tank to maximize capital and add more athletic freaks. If yes, move to step 3. P.S., Poles’ tank ability is actually what you want to see if you are not a contender and are trying to maximize capital–no more of this 7-win, mid-round draft pick limbo for eternity.

3.) Bring in a superstar coaching staff at whatever cost. The coaching staff is responsible for bestowing the “football ability” on the athletic roster. It hasn’t gotten to this point yet for Poles. If this point takes too long to arrive, or if his eventual coaching staff can’t get it done, then he has failed as a GM.

A lot of bears fans seem to believe in miracles. I don’t. It would take a miracle worker to turn the Pace/Nagy bears into contenders this soon after they got fired. I don’t think some of you realize just how poor of a state they left this team in.

My post-game overreaction: Bears fans should be on our hands and knees begging the almighty to let us keep Justin Fields for as long as possible.

We all saw the team last night. To think that Fields has put up with this for 2+ seasons and NEVER complained, never checked out, never asked for a trade, only takes personal accountability and tries his best to keep improving… We should treasure this man, yet it seems that more than half of us want to drop him for a QB with objectively worse college stats and 3 fewer years of NFL experience.

Fields has lost a lot of games with this team, but he alone has made a majority of those games more competitive than they had any right to be.

Last night should be a wake up call moment for anyone who thinks conventional logic and reasoning can be applied to this team. This is not an NFL team.
