I do know this: We all share in to what happened this year. I'm not going to sit here and put blame on any one thing. (We will) talk to ownership as well as the coaches, our personnel people, it will be an organizational decision on what we do going forward on everything. ... There's really nothing I can say any more than that because we haven't made any definitive evaluations on anything right now.

"I have my thoughts. I feel very good about going into the offseason, but I want to see these next (two) games and see how we continue to develop."

Sounds like regime change is in the air

It is interesting to note that the last time we had an offensive minded coach (Ditka), we won the Super Bowl... we also had a talented QB with a bit of a "screw loose" mentality... and the greatest RB ever, mind you.

I just think that with what you have invested in Cutler, you have to make it work, or at least try everything in your power...your being Chicago ownership.

And that means getting a offensive minded coach, and a FANTASTIC QB coach in there to try to fix Jay. He is broken, I know that none of you Bears fans want to admit that, but it's the truth. He needs some help, and I can't see as to how Lovie and crew can fix it.

I don't believe in hiring coaches that made their living on the coattails of HOF QB's, but you almost have to figure out a way to get Shanny, if for nothing else to try to fix Jay.

Jay will be fine with the right coach and the right system. I agree with thefuzz though that once you invest that much into a QB, you have to find a way to make it work.

If that means booting Lovie out of town, I don't see why you wouldn't. Although he has had some success (ala, the Bears aren't a laughing stock), he's been like Fox where he's been unable to sustain any of it, or win the big game in one of his better years.

I say fire Lovie. Good news for Lovie would be, due to the Rooney Rule, he'd probably get a call from just about every team looking for a coach.

      Just a winner? He went 6-9 last year. Just because a guy got carried to the SB by elite surrounding talent doesn't mean much. How did Nick Files pan out after catching lightning on a bottle?

      Hurts is an elite threat with his legs though. He's gonna stress an opposing DC a lot more than Brock Purdy.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.
