There is a GM named Poles

So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

Re: Different trade scenario

It sounds like Ryan Poles understands how important the lines are and some of us here do not. The arguments for taking a WR for the Bears second pick do not hold water. If he doesn't trade down, I foresee a QB, two linemen and then perhaps a WR. I bet you, Bearfacts, that Poles takes two linemen be...

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized

I think the best way to mitigate a traumatized fanbase is to wreak havoc on the opponents.

That said, a top 5 defense would go a long way towards gratification - if not fulfillment - at least for me.

Re: Yogi da Bear's Picnic Basket (2024)

As far as trading JF - it could have been done either way. I'm glad he's got a fair chance to succeed with the Steelers. It's a clean break with no residual complications. Trading Justin reinforces a strong message of confidence in Caleb. Right now, the Bears are expressing 100% confidence in CW and...

Re: What would it take for you to move from the 1.1 pick

I think, at some point, you have to come to the understanding/realization that yes this is the player we have been looking for.

This guy is the right guy in the right place at the right time - Caleb Williams.

Freaking unreal - never thought I would say that.

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots

Poles has brought in three legit new targets for CW already this offseason.

He's got two elite WRs, two pass-catching TEs and two RB's with good hands.

Trade down or not, I expect the second blue chip after Caleb will be either OL or DL.

GO8, in your new sig, they forgot to say when Poles was born.

(But maybe they want us to subtract 3 from 1988 which is something I can still do.)

Therefore I doubt it’s Maye, Daniels, Penix

It has to be someone with an ego the size of a planet and the self belief to go with it.

So it must be Caleb
Maybe.
