I'm ok giving him 1 more year. They showed clear improvement down the stretch. Defense didn't give up more than 20 since week 11.
100% on board with firing Getsy. I'm ok either way on Fields, he's a decent starter, who has gotten better, but Caleb Williams is a better prospect, just a matter of what the difference is between what they can get for Fields, and what they can get for the #1 pick, and if that difference is deemed bigger than the QB difference.
I think a Fields trade, or #1 pick trade will happen at the combine.
We were the 32nd ranked D through 4 weeks. So showing "improvement" doesn't mean much.
Bears Also mortgaged the future to improve this year. So that's not coaching...
I just can't go on any longer with a GM/HC that isn't 100% behind the QB. Let's just clean slate reset this.
How did they mortgage the future? The Sweat trade? Still have 2 1sts, and Sweat was a huge part of the defensive improvement and will be a defensive cornerstone.
I just hate the idea of going from 3 wins to 7 wins, and blowing it up, when they have lots of draft capital, with the likelihood to add more, and lots of cap space.
I think this season wasn't a failure. It was a step forward, maybe not as big as hoped, but still a solid one. Not everyone can be Houston, only they, Indy and the Rams improved their win total more than the Bears did, and the Rams kinda don't count as they only won 5 games in 2022 because Stafford/Kupp/Donald all missed half the season. I think there are some similarities between the Bears and Colts as far as taking a step forward, not making the playoffs, but clearly being a better team than before.
