I have not been this excited for a bears season in awhile! Crazy how awesome it feels to have a GM with an actual plan. BEAR DOWN

Wait you didn't like Pace's plan of mortgaging our future for a one-and-done playoff appearance?

[@imawesome5841]

I was actually pretty hype beginning of Nagy 2nd year given how the regular season went before Parkey screwed that up. I've now learned to keep expectations and excitement tempered to avoid another let down lol

[@matthewbrown3561]

I love how they asked Wright about a question they tested him on before and he knew the answer a month or so later. That’s great recall.

Darnell Wright is a massive human

If im the Bear, I would do everything I could to hold onto Ian Cunningham.

[@philsgaragegym]

Absolutely. Make Ryan Poles the Senior Vice President of Football Operations and Ian the GM. Kevin Warren will retire once the stadium in Arlington Heights will open in 5-7 years. Then the Bears can promote Poles to President.

[@kipwhitler6804]

even if he does end up getting hired somewhere else (and I believe he will sooner rather than later), the team will get compensated for it with draft picks

[@chris_3636]

The one thing that stands out more for me than anything else, from what we've seen of these young guys in interviews, is the quality of the people they've drafted. There's no cast iron guarantees regarding how their skillsets translate to the NFL, or if they can stay healthy, but if you get quality people who make good team mates and leaders you are giving yourself every chance. Their selections mirror Poles and Eberfluss. Quality people. I hope it works out for them. I'd like for coach 'Fluss to still be HC in 10 years, because, if he is, we'll have had sustained success. Go Bears 🐻 👍
