Let’s talk Ryan Poles
« on: December 21, 2022, 01:54:29 PM »
Like:

The way he’s dumped expensive veterans who won’t be here the next time they are good. Also think trading  Roquan was the smart thing to do.

Draft:

I’d say mostly pretty good. IMO he’s gotten at least 3 starters in a draft where he had few valuable assets. Brisker could be All-Pro, Gordon I think will be a pretty good corner, and Braxton Jones I think is a starter (though maybe more at RT than Left). Hard to give a true grade on a draft 14 games in. Lake Zurich Roquan was a nice FA signing. Think he can be a player for a couple years while they upgrade more valuable positions.

Velus Jones was a terrible pick, and that should have been obvious from day 1. He just didn’t have the résumé of an NFL receiver. If you’ve had one good year in six years of college, you just aren’t good, period.

Overall draft grade (subject to review) B+. Another quality player in the 3rd (OL, DL or WR) would have made it an A or A+ IMO

Free agency:

D-

Pringle and Lucas Patrick are basically zeros. Can’t fault him entirely because he knew they had so much dead cap space. Gutting this was the plan all along.

Trades:

Roquan move was the right one IMO. Great player but didn’t create enough big plays to warrant what he was asking for. Roquan also basically signed his own transfer papers with his antics. Should have hired an agent.

Hated the Claypool trade the minute I heard it was for a 2nd. Now it looks like a really high 2nd. Hopefully it works out, and I can see why you make the trade but I am not optimistic it turns out to be a good one for the Bears.

Next year we need to see progress. 7-9 wins. I think it’s very doable with a decent draft and solid FAs. This division isn’t that good.

Year 3 they need to “take the North and never give it back.”

Overall grade: B

Negative marks for the handling of the Tevin Jenkins drama at the beginning of the season (unless his practice habits or commitment level were heavily lacking). Rumored to be a cut/trade candidate then ends up being our best lineman after moving to RG.

GM Ryan Poles should be able to find some good players under those conditions. Unfortunately, other teams aren’t going to make it easy for him. That much was obvious on Friday when two top free agents going into next year were taken off the market.

Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins reached an agreement with the Green Bay Packers on a four-year contract extension. He will remain with his original team. Many had hoped the Bears could steal him away since the Packers have cap issues. Then barely a couple of hours later, another tough blow landed when the Cleveland Browns extended right tackle, Jack Conklin. That means arguably the two best offensive linemen in the 2023 class are off the table. Not great for a team in serious need of blocking help.

I’d like to see the Bears make a trade for a veteran like Mike Evans. Another reason they need to get as high a pick as possible and get more assets. There should be a few good players available from teams looking to shed salary.

Trenton Gill was also a nice draft pick IMO. Easy to forget about him.

Yeah, he is Mitch Allen when he has thrown for 4K yards in 3 of his 5 season...

Wrong thread....

2nd year quarterback 1st year in new system playing with primarily practice squad players isn’t allowed growing pains, but Josh Allen is allowed to puke all over the field while he (to quote PAMan) “makes too many really bad decisions and is reckless with the ball” because he’s “had multiple 4,000 yard passing seasons” (and doesn’t play with practice squad guys). Only in PAMan’s weird mind is this logical.

Again, your scrambled eggs of a brain, I'm blaming the dope, can't understand the facts establishing why he is not "Mitch Allen". Let me know when Mitch Trubisky or Mitch Fields throw for 4k yards in 3 of 5 seasons. Hell, let me know when Mitch Fields throws for 200 yards in a game. I know, he doesn't call the plays.

It’s Christmas Eve evening. Go hug your family. Maybe tonight you will get a visit from the ghosts of Justin Fields’ Past, Justin Fields’ Present, and Justin Fields’ Future and be a changed man tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!🎄
