Rookie mini-camp starts and one day in, the ninth overall pick is hurt.
I can’t say I’m surprised. It’s the Bears we are talking about. We’re still over two months from training camp starting and players are already having issues.
This slipped under my radar and may have for others. The Bears signed an undrafted quarterback for the second year in a row.

We all know Caleb Williams will be the starting quarterback assuming an injury doesn’t happen before the season starts. It’s unfortunate that we have to prepare for an injury. But this is the Bears we are talking about.
Along with Tyson Bagent, this man could very well be another insurance policy. I know people bash Bagent from last year’s performance in those two losses. But if (and thats a big if) Shane Waldron is in any way competent as an offensive coordinator, Bagent could have a much better chance at succeeding. And same with Reed if he has to step up.
As long as we don’t see that turd Brett Rypien, this is a good idea. And I swear, if they ever bring back Nathan Peterwhacker, I am going to Halas Hall myself to kick Ryan Poles in the nuts.
The Bears also signed Illini defensive linemen Keith Randolph Jr. Being an Illini fan, I am rooting for this guy. Him and Jer’Zhan Newton were beasts on the line the last couple seasons. If he is given an actual opportunity, I think he can be a steal for this team. The Bears were terrible last year getting pressure up the middle and stopping teams on third downs.
I was a little late on this.
The Bears have indeed, selected Caleb Williams to be their quarterback and took wide receiver Rome Odunze from Washington State.
Until we are proven otherwise, we have to assume that these two along with whoever else they choose this weekend will be busts. 40 years of ineptitude has given us enough to assume this is the outcome.
Your thoughts in the thread.
Take your “tax payers will cover half of the new stadium” and shove it up your ass. We law-abiding citizens give this state enough money as it is. This stadium is unnecessary. And your employer still owes $600 million for rennovations to Soldier Field. Instead of trying to put a contending team on the field for the first time in 40 years, THIS is your focus? If you think we are paying the bill, our loyal poster by the name of Chucky will pay you a visit. He will bring a wooden cooking spoon with him as well.
Sincerely,
Fans of the Chicago Bears

We are about three weeks away from the NFL Draft. Thoughts?
As we all can expect, Caleb Williams will be a Bear in about a month.
Is this the right move? Do you believe the Bears should explore picking another quarterback?
Discuss.
Even when a supposed right decision is made, the Bears find a way to fuck it up. And that’s exactly what Ryan Poles did Saturday.
As we know now, Justin Fields is going to the Steelers. All they got in return was a sixth-round pick. That could turn into a fourth if Fields plays a certain amount of time.
That’s it? That’s nothing. The Bears should have gotten at least a third-round. At least. Or maybe Fields for a pick this year? I believe as it stands now, the Bears only have four picks this year. That’s not enough to build this team up and because of this, Poles was forced to go shopping for free agents. Again.
You can’t build a contending team by signing a bunch of free agents. You build it by drafting.
But don’t worry. The Bears made up for it a couple days back by signing Brett Rypien along with his four touchdowns and nine interceptions in ten games played (four years in the league). So instead of finding another quarterback in the later rounds that could possibly be developed alongside with Bagent, they go get this fucking idiot. It’s a younger version of Nathan Peterwhacker.
“One step forward. Two steps back.”
This is another sign that the Bears are going to part with Fields at some point and annoint Caleb Williams the starting quarterback. If the Bears were going to keep Fields, then this trade doesn’t go down. Marvin Harrison Jr. would have been drafted instead.
Did the Bears pay a fair price for a player in the last year of his contract? Does anyone feel any better about the Bears being a better team after this?
D’Andre Swift? Really? The same guy who dropped a game-winning pass AGAINST the Bears?
Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert weren’t good enough? Well, if this team actually ran the damn ball, they would show that more.
