The Lions and Packers drafted their O-lines. This is the time for the Bears to draft their center (and other interior linemen) of the future, rather than relying on more iffy free agents, as they've done for too long.

[@randomyoutuber7898]

Facts

[@tylermd23]

Agreed, we must FIX the O-Line! Best C in draft probably not coming out until 3rd round. Lloyd Cushenberry would be a great pick up in FA who is a solid starter at C.

[@tyreepowell8367]

Let's Getting The Bears 🐻🧡💙 More Help With Both Offense And Defense

[@ramario6195]

I’m freaking excited!!! Bear Down!!!

[@ljink48]

Leila is the best

[@balrogz5093]

Gaining hope by the hour. And nice work, Leila.

[@julianparker2758]

Farve/Rodgers/Love none of them were. #1 overall picks! Why do fans feel like 1st overall pick QBS are saviors. Coaching and development Don't waste high picks trade for best available players.

[@tobinfrost4400]

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE CASUALS IN THE BACK MY GUY!!!

[@ronaldgilman9034]

Neither was Brock Purdy, Justin Fields is the typical prototype of Lamar Jackson. Defense wins championships. Build the interior lines both sides. Trade down twice still end up with MHJ. Center , defensive end. Let both centers go, Mooney, best linebacker or tight end. We will end up with 2 first and 2 nd rounders. 2024 - 2026 set up for the next 3 years . Nate Davis is injury Riddled! Left Guard in the 4th round. Only because we don't have a 3rd round pick.

[@SHANDOGG555]

JF IS NOT IT....EVERY ONE WATCH THE FALCONS GAME NOW HES ELITE..POLES IS GONNA DRAFT HIS OWN QB.I DONT WANNA WATCH A MED QB 4TH YR NEW OFFENSE ITS NOT GONNA WORK LET HIM DEVELOP WITH ANOTHER TEAM THAT WOULD BE BEST FOR HIM..TIME FOR CHANGE

[@alfansosimon4230]

Even Mahommes, Brady, Lamar, and many great ones. Lots of number ones have been subpar. Bears should build around Fields.

[@SHANDOGG555]

@alfansosimon4230 KEEP JF HUH?....3YRS OF MID..LAST PLACE QB IN THE DIVISION..CANT SEE THE FIELD ..SLOW RELESE DROP BACK IS TERRIBLE...JF IS DEVELOPING YOU CANT PAY A MID QB 45-50MIL A YR....AND HERES THE KICKER ..YALL WANT HIM TO LEARN A NEW OFFENSE....AND DRAFT MHJ THATS NOT GOING TO MEAN ANYTHING WHEN HE CANT SEE HIM OPEN REMEMBER POLES DIDN'T DRAFT JF🐻👎

[@Kevincarlloven]

Bears are going after WRs in this off-season.

[@ronaldgilman9034]

Fields made a few mistakes yes, but the defense has got to step it up. Like i said yrade down twice draft Mhj, sign best free agent center of draft one . And address defensive end! Baltimore is a path the Bears should be thinking! Defense wins with a QB that doesn't make the big mistakes! Easy formula. San Francisco same thing.

[@ronaldgilman9034]

Oh I forgot to mention Tom Brady a 5th rounder. Greatest of all time.

In what ways do you not like Flus? And why wasnt Waldron offered the HC job in Seattle?

[@TahitianTreatSkeetJuiceJr]

@@dreambeaver7582 u don't know what they had planned in Seattle. They gave him permission to go out and see what's up, he chose Chicago. Why not come to a top 5 sports market, and be a OC behind a HC who may be on the hot seat if the bears suck in 23-24?

[@inorite4553]

The seattle analysts who know him best disagree

[@TahitianTreatSkeetJuiceJr]

@@inorite4553 meaning?

[@dreambeaver7582]

@@TahitianTreatSkeetJuiceJr Meaning people and analysts in Seattle treated Waldron like we, Chicago fans treated Getsy. Media and fans destroyed Waldrons play calling. But that’s what we do. I do like Waldron, just not as a HC.

If flus is fired Waldron next head coach 👀

[@johnsobey4261]

Why would he be fired if Waldron make this offense much better, meaning winning more games.

[@Bishop545454]

​@johnsobey4261 Not necessarily, Flus defense could regress.

[@dreambeaver7582]

If Waldron was HC material he would have been considered for the Seattle job. Whats wrong with Flus?

If Waldron does great. I have a feeling they will release him to go be a head coach. Instead of letting him go be a head coach somewhere else. Should we bump flus? If Waldron kicks ass. Stop letting great coordinators go. Stay with Chicago.

[@Its_YourImagination]

speaking of ass...Leilas ass looked great in those black slacks. saw her on a full length shot before this spot.

[@Bryan-ig2zp]

So you're talking about firing a head coach with 11-13 wins...

[@Hullified]

@@Bryan-ig2zp no sir. If they are winning. No. I started liking flus when he took over calling defense.

[@Hullified]

@@Bryan-ig2zp if Waldron does great next year. My bears will let him go be a head coach. So we will be searching for another OC. Do we bump flus instead?

[@Bryan-ig2zp]

@Hullified . I mean you edited your comment to not sound like the dumb take it was so....

[@robertdimitrelis5567]

I hope this guy is an upgrade to Luke Getsy. Seattle was average and above average at times, the last three seasons.

[@ramario6195]

Big Upgrade indeed!!!

[@Magicmike12]

He runs a similar offense that Getsy ran but the OC runs it allot better….

[@ronaldgilman9034]

​@@Magicmike12not even close, Kyle Shannahans, tree. A lot of misdirection plays. Love it.

[@lizzyzelms]

I could predict getsys plays from my couch . Zero tempo, horrible calls on 3rd down, zero disguise, few quick reads, no in game adaptability, didn't have a punch you in the mouth run game. He got out coached routinely. Fields made him look better than he was with the insane escapability. Also the disdain DJ had for Getsy was in the open and Justin cried for help early. Are we saying the QB and WR1 are both just wrong?

[@Magicmike12]

@@ronaldgilman9034Hay that’s what they are saying that he runs a similar to what Getsy ran from what ever tree? But that’s what they said on 670 the score

This guy shakes and bobs his head so much when he talks I'm surprised he doesn't have whiplash.

[@Beardown451]

I agree take Caleb. All your points are valid and make sense. You have to protect the future of the team. The goal is superbowls and I can’t see jF1 taking us there that’s just the reality. If we stick with him and cousins comes back we still have the 4th best qb in division. U know what they say if the u have no clarity on the qb position u have ur answer. Take the emotion out of it and make the move.

[@woodstocknation1961]

Yeah the Bears win the Super bowl fire them all because something is definitely wrong 🤣

[@seancurran3944]

Duhhhhhhhh. Every single play should have been RPO/Playaction/bootleg with Fields!

[@Scodel]

The Bears front office will F this up as usual. They just need to sell the team

[@Beardown451]

Waldron has been there done that with geno. If he adds developing a rookie qb to his resume it’s only gonna boost his stock as a HC. He could have went anywhere and decided to come here. I think it’s to develop CW

[@johnpost2690]

why does he talk that way

[@TheFrenchPug]

Folks...dont get too excited about this guy. We could'nt wait for him to leave Seattle. His stats can be very deceiving. Seattle was last in offensive snaps in the NFL with 944. Only team under 1000 snaps. All we did was watch our defense on the field for 70% of the game. Geno had to perform miracles to get the stats he did.

[@jaboy8603]

It was mainly bc of poor o line play. If we can strengthen that position we'd be good with Waldron

[@inorite4553]

Agree. Interviews with analysts who know Waldron the best had erie similarities to the info provided by Pittsburgh analysts when asked about the Claypool trade.

[@KP99]

This guy is exactly right. the selling point is you get to coach Caleb Williams. do you think Shane wants to deal with a reclamation project like Fields when he could've taken many other jobs 😂

[@jaboy8603]

I would... the tools are there for Justin... much more athletic and versatile the Geno Smith. If he can just get his consistency down and develop his passing game, Fields could be a star

[@kingjames1586]

Justinsexuals don’t care how many mediocre coaches Bears hire as long as Fields envy is priority over team success & he remains inept QB1

[@toneduncan]

This is the problem with Chicago Sports media they are always finding people who don't get penalized for fake news. This guy has been selling the same story all postseason for the Bears

[@MegaBotScott]

So if we keep Fields, Waldron is going to just call run plays since Fields cant pass?
