It’s Time To Have A Conversation About The Chicago Bears

What Do You Think The Bears Should Do? 🤔

get a new coach.

[@m.hughmungus121]

Tell Caleb stop painting his nails or put the team on his back

[@oneputt4152]

Time to draft a new QB, Caleb just doesn't have NFL talent. He is a very good college QB, but like Tebow, Leaf, (Jamarcus) Russell. He can't work progressions, doesn't have the arm accuracy to throw in NFL windows and creates sacks by holding the ball too long

[@moonjelly5]

Sell the team and hire a new GM and coach from outside the organization. The current regime keeps repeating the same failed process over and over and over again: Have a coach on the hot seat draft a QB, bad coach fails to become better/develop rookie QB and is fired, hire new coach who didn't choose QB, force underdeveloped QB to learn a completely different system, watch the team struggle and the QB loses all confidence, trade QB and put coach on hot seat, have a coach on the hot seat draft a rookie QB, etc. The organization needs completely new blood to break them out of this cycle. Unfortunately it all starts at the top. One of the reasons teams like the Lions and Commanders have started to break free of their misery was a change in ownership. Teams owned by meddling, incompetent owners like Virginia McCaskey, Jimmy Haslem, Woody Johnson, David Tepper and Mark Davis can't break free of their floundering.

[@WFM]

While I do think the Bears fanbase was getting a little ahead of themselves before this season, I did not think things could possibly go *this* poorly. Locker room is in shambles, OL can’t block for shit, Caleb not making easy throws, receivers somehow can’t get open, play calling is awful, defense is banged up. Now we have players giving up during games and asking for coaches to be canned. What a dumpster fire of a season, good god.

@@noahkramer942 While I do see an issue here, it's more because the receivers aren't getting open. He isn't throwing with anticipation.

[@CoC_Lord]

Caleb is being over coached to not turn the ball over and to play within the pocket no matter what when he’s just simply not ready to be a pure dropback passer. They did the same thing with fields last year as well. Eberflus wants as few turnovers as possible, you heard on hard knocks, you hear him say it in his pressers. If they want Caleb to develop, you have to let him learn to let it rip, and live with the rookie mistakes that he makes, and hope he learns and grows from the mistakes he makes. The fact he’s only thrown 5 picks but the offense is as inefficient as it is proves it

[@thestormofwar]

What they need to do is simplify it down. Quick passes, play action, time-on-target schemes, etc. Let him get used to NFL defenses before uncorking the genie. Once he has that down, then slowly give him free reign on to make tactical decisions once he demonstrate competence. That said, it really is too bad that Eberflus and Waldron are morons.

[@Kyle-bi7df]

It’s like the complete opposite of what the Pats are doing, they are actually LETTING Drake sling it, exactly, let them get the rookie mistakes out of the way first, Flus is asking Caleb to play like a 35 yr old veteran game manager because he thinks his defense is going to take him to a superbowl alone lmao

[@CoC_Lord]

@@CoC_Lordi feel that fields couldve worked out in chicago if he had good coaching.

[@owtkvst]

Weapons don’t mean anything if those weapons are asked to do things they can’t do(like Keenan Allen running deep routes, DJ being a screen and YAC guy on 3rd and 1 with man coverage, Kmet being a blocker more than a catcher, etc etc) and if those weapons can’t separate quick enough to help out an OL that’s flat out bad.

As a lifelong Lions fan, this is why I wasn't worried at all about da bears drafting a "generational QB talent". I knew what horrors awaited that man once they picked him. I'd say I hope it gets fixed, but honestly, I kinda prefer the bears being bad. As for their head coach - honestly, record isn't everything. Yeah, he doesn't seem like a great coach, but just because he's not had a good record doesn't mean he wasn't the potential head coach of the future from the ownership's POV last year. Dan Campbell had an awful record until last year, and people were calling for his job due to it then. Maybe eberflus will be da bears' MCDC. 🤣🤣

Having lived in both Detroit and Chicago at their worst points for football, I am glad that at least one team that never really had a chance to shine is finally succeeding. To be fair though Campbell had a plan with Johnson and a great GM to go with on top of being very offensive minded, while Eberflus only has the great GM....

[@johnchedsey1306]

That's some wishful thinking about Eberflus. Even when the Lions were struggling during Campbell's first year or so, you could tell the players loved him and bought into what he was selling.

But still they need an OC who has a reputation for building and developing young qbs like Cliff.

[@owtkvst]

I’m happy you are choosing to mention Eberflus’ coaching of Caleb because it’s obvious yet so many people don’t mention it. In every game since Indy, you can hear on the broadcast how Flus is telling Caleb and the press how Caleb needs to be a “point guard” and manage the game. Hell, even against the Patriots, Olsen said “They’re asking him to be a point guard and it’s hard when your entire life you’ve been the shooting guard and you’ve been the man” they’re actively coaching him To not be himself mid season. It’s different if it’s in the off-season and they tell him to be special but selectively and be smart with the football. But that isn’t the case. They want him to play like a Case Keenum who has talent like very few in the league have he just shouldn’t let it loose. It’s foolish and it’s causing him to overthink. You can see it when he’s in the pocket. He’ll hitch, hitch, and then hitch again because they’re telling him not to make a mistake instead of trying to make something happen and then he gets sacked.

I personally think he's the next Sean McVay.

[@iamthetanner4380]

Theres not a one size fits all approach to developing a QB. Sitting a QB for a year is a good idea IF your team has the stability for him to learn (Aaron Rodgers in GB or Mahomes in KC). But if your team is dysfunctional then sitting your rookie QB is just delaying the inevitable (Paxton Lynch, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker).

first as an organization they need to take a breath. gather the team and make it be known they will get this right together. it won't happen this year. then, i would set about finding targets for each group on the team to shoot for to eval on tape until season end. they need to build true culture. start with basics. moving the football; no penalties, hustle, encouragement good or bad plays, no negative plays, no penalties - in other words, don't beat yourself first. next, simplify the playbook - what you do call based on situations, what you don't in other spots. let caleb slow things down mentally. focus on pass completions. it's at or around 55%? let's shoot for 70 in a quarter or half. then, a whole game. whatever the calls are pass wise. take the pressure off the line by not getting backed into 3rd & obvious pass downs by excelling at 1st/2nd. run the ball. mix it up on what runs are called. as a playcaller after games; check off during them ones that were well-executed. work to different ones based on situations. not to call them over and over and get predictable. but, identify what the entire unit and qb do well with whether formation wise, route tree wise in the pass game or tempo-timing wise. incorporate more of the same into it like sean mcvay does with the rams to where every pass play looks similar but are built off a core base from 11 personnel. the schemes can grow from the core mastered. also, let him observe a vet run them in practice so he can get physical and mental reps of it. before he has to perform under pressure. next, ask him to sit in on secondary and defensive line huddles and play review. it will help to see how the other side preps and corrects for him to improve that part of his brain as a qb. he needs a mentor as well who played the position and is not there to add stress like he will take his job if he messes up at times. or missed a read. or, got picked twice, etc. have the gm sit in on qb meetings. to induce accountability from that standpoint. to see others invested.

Caleb’s problems are clear a combination of coaching and experience. He needs to learn, and his coaches are keeping him from making a bunch of mistakes, and he needs an offensive guru like most players

[@larrythigpen3373]

The Bears only have one problem. OWNERSHIP.

[@sogravvyproductions4176]

I just wanna thank the Bears for giving my Patriots a much needed WIN!

[@grege5074]

this conversation is 41 years overdue since George Halas' daughter took over. I know people discount the impact an owner can have on a team but there is a reason Manning only won 1 SB in Indy, the Browns are the Browns, Doug Pederson suddenly forgot how to coach? or Trevor Lawrence suddenly forget how to throw a football? The Bears haven't had an average QB for 10 years or a good QB for 40?!

[@LordBillington42]

1. They never keep their O line healthy. They must have one of the most injured O lines in the league over the last 3-4 years. 2. The plan doesn't change regarless of who is on the field. They try to fit guys to a scheme, rather than fitting a scheme to their roster. 3. They give the QB plays to run that take 2.5+ seconds to develop when they never get close to that time in a clean pocket. It's misserable.

[@mootpointjones8488]

Williams said he'd fix everything as he is so good. The Bears believed his assurances. Look how it's turning out.

[@devjames2532]

Could've had Ben Johnson, Jim Harbaugh, or Mike Vrabel but they kept their lame duck coach. Then their decided not to hire Kliff Kingsbur, who's been great in Washington. Big brained moves by the Bears FO.

It’s quite obviously coaching, we’ve seen Caleb display the talent. I just don’t understand how people can compare Maye to him when Maye sat most of the season and learned while Caleb was thrown off the deep end hoping to save a franchise from its long history of failure

[@futuretrunks9839]

It gets worse when you realize two receivers weren’t even in the play. You have a 4 WR set, and you call a rollout to only have 2 possible receivers in play while the other 2 watch from the far right sideline. Could one of them seriously not run some sort of crossing route as a potential 3rd read?

[@heiro9611]

While yeah, this situation sucks for Caleb. My biggest concern for him coming out of the draft was his maturity. I didn’t think he was mature enough to be an NFL quarterback. So if he can come out on the other side of this more mature. Maybe get put in a better situation somewhere else down the line. I think that’s a good thing for him.

[@vinniesacco2197]

Anybody would have deficits when receivers keep dropping passes and when they don't get open you get rammed by a 300lb grown man. The atrocious play from the offense is without a doubt going to affect Caleb and not let him grow with confidence.

[@the_sixxness]

Justin Fields spends two years running for his life because he had no protection. The Bears GM decided that was Fields' fault, drafted another rookie and put him right behind the same line. When that didn't work they decided the offensive coordinator was the real problem and got rid of him. Do the Bears really think that this is going to fix their problems? That offensive line couldn't block people on Facebook.

[@StateoftheAssociation]

Keeping Eberflus was a huge mistake in regards to developing Caleb over his rookie year

[@nateware7307]

It's like the Bears management and coaching hate QBs and the passing game. They've somehow convinced themselves their a defensive team because they won a SB in the '80s, and now have this weird aversion to the passing game. I thought they were trying to solve that this past draft, but I guess I was wrong.

[@UnBR0k3enAngel]

Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Mitch Trubisky, Jared Goff, Jameis Wisnton, and Blake Bortles. These are the 10 QBs taken off the board first in the past decade. Let's now make a list of those QBs who were "busts" (the teams that drafted them did not give the QB a second contract): Bortles, Winston, Goff, Trubisky, Mayfield, and Pickett. That's 6/10 (7 if you really want to jump the gun on Bryce...not that I'd blame you) Of these 6, you can only really make an argument that Baker was failed by a coach. We can talk about the good old days of job security for HCs and GMs so that they have the ability to bench these 'franchise QBs' to let them develop...but thats not today. I wish Caleb the best moving forward because he seems like a nice guy despite the media trying to make him a bad one....but sometimes you just made the wrong pick.

[@thestormofwar]

I remember folks were calling me crazy when I said Williams would bust because he went to the Bears. Ahh, the memories.

I have long contended CW's lack luster play is largely due to Chicago's notoriously bad Management and Coaching but it's becoming apparent that CW is a bit at fault. JD5 and Drake M are both fortunate Chi Town took CW, the results would have been similar.

The NFL and HBO pushed to get the Bears on Hard Knocks. Throughout the show's history, the McCaskeys have fiercely resisted having the Bears be a part of it for whatever reason and they were unable to prevent the NFL from putting them on this season as the eligibility requirements allowed for only 3 teams to be featured - the Bears among them. Oddly, if they fired Everlose like they should have, they wouldn't have been on it.
