Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. It appears that Fields will be traded within the next couple weeks. The Bears will take Caleb Williams and go back to square one for this franchise.

It’s just another sign of failure by Ryan Pace when he traded up for him. I shouldn’t go off about 2017. But again, DeShaun Watson was the obvious pick in the draft (not many were touting Mahomes just yet). And before anyone comes at me with “Watson was accused of this, this and this”, I’m very much aware of that. He’s a scumbag. At the time, however, nobody saw that coming. It’s out of everyone’s control. Watson should have been taken instead of Trubisky.

Whatever the Bears do will be the wrong decision. Fields stays and he continues to throw interceptions and hang onto the ball too long while doing the occasional “Houdini” act of escaping a 20-yard loss for a gain of 30. Or, Fields get traded and shines while Caleb Williams pisses all over himself. Then two years later, the Bears are searching for their next quarterback because Ryan Poles doesn’t know how to pick them.

I base these words off of the last 30 years of watching this team. A lot of these quarterbacks may have been successful if it wasn’t for management putting them in a position to fail. Certainly, blame is to be shared. That goes for many other players.

The right general manager and coaches need to be there. The play-calling needs to make sense. By that, I mean not having Luke Getsy try some fuckery on 3rd and 1 that results in a turnover after the team is on the verge of scoring on a long drive. 3rd and 1 should be common sense to run it up the middle and give the team a new set of downs. And we’ve seen that garbage from all the other “offensive” coordinators.

But hey, what the fuck do I know? It’s not like I watch the games or anything.

As I said before, keep Justin Fields and draft Caleb Williams as an insurance policy. So many are insisting that if the Bears take any quarterback in the draft, that they must trade Fields. Why? They have Fields under control for one more year along with a team option for a fifth year.

If Fields still sucks, then trade him at the deadline or pick up the fifth year and then trade him. It’s simple as that.

If you listened to 670 The Score and remembered some of their goofy commercials about 15 years ago, you will get the reference of that headline.

While Steve “Mongo” McMichael was on his way out of football as I was growing up, I have early memories of him. But a lasting image was getting sacks in Tecmo Super Bowl with him. Great game and I believe I would get about 20-30 sacks a season in that video game.

Devin Hester and Julius Peppers also got in. Well-deserved. Obviously, more connected with Hester as he started his career when I was in college.

Happy for all three, especially for Mongo.
