Poles has been a breath of fresh air for Chicago. 2 more blue chip players coming up( Caleb and Murphy II imo ) to bolster both sides of the ball. 🐻⬇️

This!!!!

[@josephwilliams5038]

Then he proceeded to strip the team and screw over the young talent on the team!! Giving Fields the least amount help in the league and expect him to do everything. Then when the team is about to make the turn you trade Fields for nothing only to draft the same player! The Bears could have kept Fields, traded the picks and land 2-3-star quality players including a generational talent like Marvin Harrison Jr.

It’s not a charity event and poles didn’t even draft fields so that’s paces fault. Why is everyone acting like they wanted to fuck fields over thats just how the dice rolled. this is the pros, not kindergarten.
