Bears finish potentially franchise-altering draft | Take The North, Ep. 180

Poles is already in the G.M. HOF with the fleecing of Carolina 😂

[@ttaylor758]

Lol

[@tegridygone6185]

all those haters kept repeating that caleb doesn't want to play for the bears. he sure seems hella excited to be a bear to me

[@MaximillionPegasusX]

EXACTLY WHERE ARE THEY NOW

[@deensfinestable]

I couldn’t agree more he see what the bears are putting together for him should be as happy mutal I think

[@Voysh2Voysh69]

They’re hiding under their troll bridge until the first interception or fumble from Caleb, then they’ll be out in full force again. Hell, even if Caleb plays GREAT all year long, those trolls will still be saying, “he only played great because he’s surrounded by talent everywhere.” I’m already ready for it lol

[@jtwilliams8895]

I think they’re on board… excited now! But, you know, when Caleb has a bad game, we’ll see them again

[@Zaxxis0]

I agree. It's both annoying and hilarious to listen to these trolls. They have so much hate for the Bears and Bear fans and they love to wait under that bridge for something to happen.

[@xFatal4]

Where’s all the Caleb haters now? He’s a good dude and it’s refreshing people are finally realizing it.

[@a.barker7792]

Right here. Watched a lot of tape. And he truly can make every throw. It's in his arsenal. Fields just could not, and the money thing matters. So that being said. The Bears are giving up 8 players to get this guy. I'm hope I'm wrong.

[@Oxybrodone-v6f]

Preach 📢

[@Barren3000]

Why are you looking for them? Let it go.

[@spaceghost8995]

​@@a.barker7792Fields could make the any throw. The problem was his S L O W decision making and slow release. You can't have that.

[@a.barker7792]

@spaceghost8995 then he can't make every throw. Like the dump the ball to save a sack. Or a touch pass to a blocking tight end. A tight end is always open. Yes he over prossed plays sent in. But his biggest problems was not owning the plays called. Crisp pump fake, bootleg, draw play, play action pass or RPO. I personally would of trained him on muscle memory for 2 weeks and taped a ball to his hand and never let him throw it. We know he can throw, but holding the ball in a guys gut and pulling it out to set up a play. He just could not understand the value in that.

[@kavid8120]

Thank you Lovie Smith

All the little quirks in CW’s arsenal are SUPER FUN and this is coming from a man who will be 77 years young in 8 days…forget relying on the old days and embrace the NEW ONES!!!

Couple things… Caleb does not throw picks and he does not lock in on one receiver. All of those receivers will get catches if they are open.

[@mikeporten8174]

Even if everyone sucks, Poles did one hell of a job.

[@alexamerling79]

I have never been more excited as a Bears fan. Our offense is about to go nuclear! BEAR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasontoy1261]

I love Calab the opposite of what the rumors said im loving his confidence and very mature

Nobody ever said Caleb was mature last year. Mass Media said it on TV so all the steeple are parroting the statement now. 🐻⬇️🧆🏝️

[@ronalddobis6782]

Let's remember to thank Lovie Smith for winning that game and blowing that first round draft pick.

[@346rt]

The Williams tweet to Tory Taylor was cute but if we consider what that means and add to that the times he ‘does’ punt and what his punts are, it suggests real game long trouble for opposing offenses before the Bears D even gets on the field. One of the best strategic picks Poles could make.

[@ZeeBears64]

Exactly what happened everyone was hating on BEARS and Williams. WOW!! In my book this was a hull Poles and his people had a great Draft A+ Chicago up BEAR DOWN 💯🐻🏈 Exciting time New Era in the coming!!

[@jamesbickle4912]

On Tory Taylor 4th round pick. A punter. Iowa's mvp, ha. My bears buddy sent an email ripping Poles for it. I went back to the last 12 Bears 4th round picks. Only 1 above average starter. Eddie Jackson. I told him special team play wins playoff games. Playoff games often hinge on 1 play in the game. I LOVE the pick.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Our Bears are the ONLY nfl team without a 4000 passer and with no QB to toss 32+ Td's in 1 season. Both of those will be broken within 2 years. For the first time in 100 years DET GB and MINN will actually FEAR a Chicago QB. Wowza I never thought Id see this in my lifetime. an Im in my mid 50's lol

[@FlybyJames]

The Poles draft picks the last few years are not only good football players but also seem to be good people. So impressed with the character traits in the draft picks this year and last. The free agents/trades in the Poles era also seem to be leaders and of high character. Hope it translates into sustained winning seasons.

[@mariogutierrez6960]

Finally someone else said it… these 3 WRs don’t seem to be diva like and complete team players … as well as being super competitive 🐻⬇️

[@glennmcgee1729]

After watching many of Caleb's USC games, it was apparent how well he played in spite of a lousy defense and O-line. As he develops, one can imagine how well he'll play with a better supporting cast.

[@joehorton5089]

Exactly, not to mention both his top receivers were taken in the 7th round. Jaden daniels on the other hand had his top two receivers taken 6 overall and 23 overall

[@chiefgangmusic]

The one thing that I can appreciate is how the narrative about his father being the “Super Dad” was obviously way over exaggerated. 1, I still don’t even know what his father looks like and 2nd, he seems more than able to handle things for himself. “We’re Here!!”

[@annegrasser377]

Competition is a wonderful thing! Ryan said that it was going to ve really difficult to make this team .

[@johnnychimpo7539]

Caleb is killing it

[@ttaylor758]

Yes, I thought his first NFL start was awesome!!!!!

[@DougieP41]

I could listen to you guys talk all day long ! great job....i'm excited

[@346rt]

Well done Dan, “..the window of opportunity has opened.”

[@NathanHoffman-mr6jn]

Great thing is too as you can’t really find anything to pick part or complain about Caleb Williams game either. I’m really really excited about this guy. I think we have the guy.

[@SplashIt34]

There is plenty. No prospect is perfect

[@Waytooruf]

As a Feilds fan, I’d say Caleb seems to love being in Chicago! I remember when Feilds got drafted he looked like he really didn’t want to go to Chicago.. Never thought I’d say this, But I’m happy to have Caleb.. 🐻👇🏽

All Booker needs is the weight room at Halas hall to put on 15-20 lbs to hold the edge better and in the future he’ll be able to play more than just on 3rd downs!!!

[@irish6783]

Man, Dan is so giddy throughout this whole episode. Bears must have done something right

[@johnnyy072]

Super pumped! Let’s go! I hate the bring up the elephant in the room but I think Poles will regret not firing Eberflus after last season. Everyone has been talking about how the bears are stacked with talent and setup well for a rookie quarterback like Caleb. Nobody was referring to the head coach as part of that setup. Flus is an excellent dc. I just wish I felt the same about him as the head coach. Caleb wants multiple superbowls and chase 12 as we all do but we need an elite head coach at the helm. History is clear on this. Eberflus’ contract ends in 25. Poles needs a game plan for transitioning this talented team to a new head coach without falling into old narratives. Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst.

[@calvincanterbury3975]

BEAR DOWN

[@blowzo1998]

Australian punters all played Australian rules football growing up. Ever seen it? it's freaking brutal. I have no worries.

[@terrencepalmer1497]

Was interested in watching til I saw who the 2 talking heads are 😩. Preferred Zack zaidman and lawrence holmes when they were on the bears beat. Jeff Dickerson was really good also. RIP. Wish he were here to report on what will be an exciting team. Now we just have to stay healthy 🐻⬇️

[@calistodom2499]

Totally agree. Caleb seems very excited to be a Bear. Why wouldn't he. Historical franchise that finally turned the corner and learned from their mistakes. It's an offensive league and they've done everything right. My only concern is can Eber coach? Do we have the right offensive coaches to get the job done? Not sure but I sure am excited for the Bears

[@ericf1966]

I've been thinking the same thing. It definitely seems the Bears have finally made an excellent hire at GM. Poles is young also, so should be around building this team's roster for a long time. I'm still on the fence with Flus as head coach, though he seems to be an above average defensive coordinator, but still tbd at head coach. I'm optimistic about the offensive staff they've added, but still need to see it in action. I'm a bit concerned about them retaining Chris Morgan as the offensive line coach though. I've felt that the Bears have needed better talent on the offensive line for a while, but even worse they didn't seem to work well together, particularly in passing off and handling defensive line stunts and games. That part seems like a failure of coaching as much as players. The Bears offense was a disaster last year in short yardage situations, largely because of poor offensive line play. I haven't heard it mentioned much, but for a supposedly good running team, they failed on so many plays with a yard or 2 to gain that killed drives. It started on the very first drive in the first game of the season against the Packers. They failed on 3rd & 1 and 4th & 1 to give the Packers a short field. That continued in almost every game all season.

[@ericf1966]

Poles is hoping Amegadjie can take over for Braxton as starting left tackle in 2 years. He's going to need that time to develop though. Larry Borom should finally be cut, he's terrible.

[@Michael-CharlesAust-ee5oo]

CHGO was live during the draft but as Chicago was on the clock it took a long time before their phone rang. It looks like nobody wanted to trade up - gunshy GMs not wanting the stigma from Mass Media that they are getting fleeced or they are not seeing value as Ryan Poles sees in Caleb Williams? Mass Media rumur concerning Justin Fields claimed seven GMs would get rid of Justin if he was on their team. Tyson Bagent paid big bucks for quarterback school recommended by Ryan Poles and said other NFL players are in his classroom. Caleb lacks important talent Justin Fields has such as: ball security and is limited in check down. All these Fields haters (Busting Fields) knitpickers better be holding Caleb to their same standard. 🐻⬇️🧆🏝️

[@GillieWilson-ze2df]

I wish Justin. well, but glad that Caleb Williams our QB now. I think Fields will be Steelers starter sooner than thought . Russell Wilson seems out of gas and slow, couldn't make it with one of the best QB coaches in history in Sean Payyton .
