Huh....wasn’t paying attention I guess.

Why did the Bears kick him loose? 

Because he wasn’t Mahomes or Watson and Nagy is a terrible offensive coordinator. He’s not perfect, but for the cheap contract he’ll likely sign, he’s about as good an option as we’ll have without selling the farm.

Lol. That is the biggest bunch of crap I ever read. There defense lead them to the playoffs. His stats were pedestrian. 

If not for when they benched him for Foles (who looked way worse than Trubisky under Nagy), his stats work out to around 3600 yards and 28 TDs. That would be middle of the pack in yardage and #11 in TDs last year.

I think we have the better weapons and the far better offensive system. Nagy looks like a hack IMHO.

They had the #11 D in yardage and #14 D in scoring. Their D was decent. Above average. But definitely not a dominant D.

I think for me I would rather take a raw rookie than a guy who has consistently struggled at this level. 
Sure he will have periods where he looks decent, even Bridgewater had those occasionally. But I just don’t want a retread. Either we get Watson, a rookie or have to endure another torturous season under Captain 2-Yards-On-4th-and-9.

Why wasn’t the defense carrying them to the playoffs when Foles was the QB? 

Because they were playing against real playoff teams. The defense was holding teams under 20 points during the Bears winning streak and Mitch was beating bad teams. 
When he faced an actual good team in week 17, Green Bay, he crumbled and they were blown out.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
