Bears GM Ryan Poles Hints That Caleb Williams Was ALWAYS His Choice At QB

🎙️🐻 Welcome back to The Chicago Bears Podcast with Pat The Designer and Former Bears Fullback Jason McKie, proudly brought to you by the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana! 🏈🎧
In this episode, Pat and J Mack react to Bears GM Ryan Poles' comments on The Pat McAfee Show. Pat opens up about his initial misjudgment regarding the decision between Justin Fields and Caleb Williams, admitting that Poles made it clear he was all in on Williams long before the Top 30 interviews.
Join us as we give credit where it's due to Ryan Poles for the impressive turnaround of the Bears roster. We also delve into the budding relationship between Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze, exploring the potential for three Bears wide receivers to achieve 100-yard games in a single season under OC Shane Waldron's scheme.
Lastly, we discuss the newfound confidence instilled in Bears fans by the entire organization, from Kevin Warren to Ryan Poles and Caleb Williams. With a competent front office at the helm, the future looks bright for the Chicago Bears!

Only a gat damn fool would’ve thought GM Ryan Poles hitch his future to a QB with multiple deficiencies and build around him while Caleb Williams was gifted to us.

[@drbenway4]

Oh, don't say that. Pat the dummy will be upset... 😅

[@officialSTR1FE]

Justin was a special human that was hampered by his play. Best wishes to him and his.

[@Chicago2714]

Some Chicago Bears fans will bitch abt anything..

[@DunnyWitz]

At least it gives you something to bitch about too

[@mr.nobody9697]

This draft was great but let me add the Bears are in an insanely good position yet again next season. Theyll have 3 picks in the first two rounds including a high 2nd rounder. If they pick around #20 in the 1rst and top 3 in the 2nd round They can use those picks to pick up everything they need with the 3 picks to fix anything that needs to be addressed in the trenches on both sides of the ball. You can go Oline in the first to immediately improve whatever weak spot shows up next season. You could also pick up an edge or DT. You could pick up another LB or Safety. I think we win 9-11 games next season but the big jump will come in year two and we will know if this franchise is heading for greatness over the next decade.

[@PatTheDesigner]

Yea it’s bout to be a Lot of fun watching this team add the next few years for sure

[@loukane44]

Just to clarify guys. I watched that entire interview with Ryan Poles and McGafee. He was talking about knowing he was taking Caleb once the draft process started not before. He didn't start scouting Caleb until after the season. Caleb was a junior he could of easily came back to USC if he wanted. He only started watching his tape after Caleb declared for the draft.

[@philosophy20]

Pat snuck in a "No Diddy" 😭 36:38

[@kylewubz8713]

I heard that😂😂😭

[@d33k4y2]

At what point do we all just move on and stop talking about Fields ? Even if Poles always had Caleb in mind who cares. Justin is no longer a bear. Best of luck to him but I could care less about what’s going on with him.

[@donedwards1956]

Well turn the channel as he can talk about what he wants and a lot of us enjoy the convo and the perspective- JF1 was a Bear, a good teammate ans beloved by the city, so sthu and run your show how u want to run it 😉

[@d33k4y2]

@@donedwards1956 hey bud, not sure if you know how KZbin works but we don’t “turn the channel”. You’re right he WAS a bear and for a very very short stint. He won us no playoff games, he won us no super bowls, he broke no bears QB record yet here you are glorifying him. You talk like you’re in the locker room 😂 you need to learn to separate yourself from the team as a fan lol

[@PatTheDesigner]

None of this was about justin though , it was about how long poles has been locked in on Caleb ….

[@d33k4y2]

@@PatTheDesigner I understand what you mean but I’m more so saying that Justin is brought up at least one time every video. I was genuinely asking at what point do we stop talking about him because I don’t remember us as a franchise ever doing this with another player.

[@spaceghost8995]

YOU just talked about Fields dude! Why don't YOU stop?

[@mr.nobody9697]

I loved watching Odunze in college but i truly fell in love with him in his interviews. I wasnt one of those people that wanted MHjr at all costs because i just dont think the production between him and Nabers and Odunze will be big enough that whatever teams got Nabers and Odunze would regret missing out on MHjr.

[@gobears34]

You got to respect and give pat credit he says man i was wrong hes about only one who said that in jf thing

[@RobertMS1979]

The whole Braxton jones thing. I think he will be better this season. Because of us having Washington now. He is known for getting the most out of the players.

[@alexamerling79]

Anyone with any knowledge about how rookie qb contracts work knew we were taking Caleb.

[@marcussmith6507]

Cheap and possibly a future goat

It's true , damn true !!!;

[@RobbyD7116]

How different would things be if the play Lovie called was incomplete.

[@MrFrmartin]

Too many weapons now? I dont see the extending allen, and taking the 3rd round compensation pick

[@gobears34]

Jf was never coming back was very clear with that said all fans should be behind the guys that the bears have go bears

[@Manthony1232]

What up fellas!

[@illinimcg7075]

Pat Pat Pat - Justin Fields never had a chance???? c'mon man just get over it already. Fields was a great human and we all rooted for him....but talent wise he was not a good passing QB. By now I would think we should all know Poles knows what he is doing. Trust in Poles!!

[@peggymartinez-hg9lm]

PAT THE DESIGNER IS JFs BOY!

[@JFlo_Outdoors]

Does that mean Poles was BSing about his having Fields jersey in his sons room and how hard it was to make a choice. I call bs.

[@zulunation3332]

Cardinals offense with Kurt Warner had 3 1k receivers

[@stevethomas5467]

I truly hope #18 translates to the NFL

[@Ebonysails]

Man😂 I told yall

[@wexwuthor1776]

You can't be expected to read Poles's mind.

[@kennygibbs9627]

Well they already cut the punter since drafting Taylor the New Rookie punter 😊

[@JJ-zr6fu]

Tried to tell you

[@skor5079]

Solid offensive line? (Seattle... check it.) Come on, pat..

[@GFORCECLASSICS]

I disagree, Pat I think a Pro Bowl season from JF1 would have swayed the conversation

[@kylewubz8713]

Too bad Fields isn’t even close to a pro bowler

[@peggymartinez-hg9lm]

POLES KNEW HE WAS NOT ONE THATS THE POINT GEEZ GET OVER YOUR BF BUSTIN ALREADY!

[@donedwards1956]

I think so too - if Bears made rhe playoffs it would have changed the convo

We hope not 😢

[@Johnn466]

A good GM would have had a qb competition in chicago. If caleb beats out yr4 justin then justin holds the clip board. If not caleb gets to develop and learn the system. Maybe the gym teacher fluse couldnt coach a qb competition in Chicago?.. Ryan Poles and co. have jobs to worry about so they're AGAIN, blowing everything up, by dealing Fields to Pittsburgh, and drafting Vince Young 2.0

[@vlventureworx1776]

Please support DaBears to line up 46 D. Even if just the look, have some fun Defensive Domination. Remember what that looked like? The scoring, the moving the offenders backwards. C'MON!

[@michaelhough4215]

I have no clue why you would think it was a hard decision? Poles new Justin was a backup. Why you guys thought he was so good I'll never know

[@acbc2001]

Justin was doomed from the start! Bears failed another QB! Hopefully it’s the last!

DOOMED BECAUSE HE SUX

[@wileyjohnson3880]

Stop being so butthurt about Fields. Poles didn't say anything different on that podcast than he's said before. He was sold on the talent of the player by the film, but he needed to find out if the person was a fit. Fields is in Pittsburgh, Pat. Move on! Find another guy to Stan for.

[@PatTheDesigner]

🤔🤔🤔 me talking about the GM talking about Making His Decision on Fields the Entire time is me being Butt hurt ?? Did you listen to Anything I said or you just heard justin’s name and had a stroke 😂😂

[@wileyjohnson3880]

Of course, I listened. You posited that the Poles had made the decision on Caleb months ago. That simply isn't true. Listen to Poles' end-of-season press conference. Listen to every statement he made before spending time with Caleb. Poles clearly said talent isn't the only deciding factor. He said the person also has to be a fit. He decided on Caleb once he learned that the kid was a solid dude, similar to Fields. Therefore, there was no need for your "I was wrong" declaration, Pat.

[@Ebonysails]

​@wileyjohnson3880 😂 Poles knew before the season was over Justin Fields wasn't the guy.

[@DueceK2]

Poles knew Fields was Trash 🗑️ since day one. He never embraced Justin as the franchise QB and I don’t blame him.

Are Poles and Williams going to do their nails together
