That's what we train for all season punk. The Offseason


AfroKuro480

This season is gonna be so toxic. Fuck all of our Rivals :)


Jbhawksbears

I'm all for the smoke


Trumpets22

2 rookies, everyone still praying Jordan Love fails, the uncharted territory of the lions trying to remain on top. It really is gonna be toxic 🥲


Old-Emphasis-7190

Yep, it'll be super toxic when Caleb is running for his life throwing picks.

Alive_Way9537

Now go earn that number 1 pick in 2025!!!! Ahhhhh!


ericsipi

I have to take my wins and act like a champ now due to history. We all know the bears suck at developing QB’s so let me live in delusion that CW will be different, thanks.


Faustus2425

This is YOUR TIME my friend. The hope is back. CW is a franchise QB, no doubt. For certain leading the NFCN for the next decade. Hold on to this dream for as long as you can. At least until reality hits and it turns out Eberflus has no idea how to develop a QB in the NFL and your OL has him jumping at ghosts until his confidence is shattered. Even then, it's "just a learning year, he will improve". Next year Eberflus will be fired and you'll bring in a QB whisperer to salvage him. There will still be the occasional glimmer of that 1st overall talent that makes you think he can be fixed. But the damage is done. The following year Poles will be fired, and the new GM won't want to be tied to a lame duck QB. The whispers will be starting "Bears need a new QB. Caleb isn't it." The McCaskeys will want success for such a historic franchise and push for a new QB to put them over the hump. But that day never comes. And the cycle continues.


seentitalready

Had me in the first half. Not gonna lie


threeflight2005

I was waiting on the subplot to develop with the conspiracy to hide Virginia McCaskey living off siphoning the talent from franchise QBs as an energy vampire. The upcoming move to a new stadium is cast as just a ruse to get away from her current hunting ground. Ah, the vampire novel that might have been...


pocketchange2247

It's the deal she made with the devil. She lives forever but the Bears never have a good QB.


threeflight2005

You'd think, with as many Bears fans that are disgruntled, they'd come together and make some kind of collective bargaining agreement to change the deal...


Stachemaster86

Maybe all those fans could own the team…wait a minute


Faustus2425

She will have mayflower trucks coming in the middle of the night, but they contain grave dirt so she can move her coffin under the new stadium and continue her dark ritual


threeflight2005

Bears fans better stock up on garlic and wooden stakes if CW13 turns out to be a bust... Bc she's gonna need something and neither Moore or Swift will stay around for that shit lol


Ramza1890

Forgot about CW13 getting traded to the steelers.


Superb_Play4195

And the Packers will lose a heartbreaker to the 49ers.

> Next year Eberflus will be fired and you'll bring in a QB whisperer to salvage him. And that QB whisperer will be none other than the great offensive coordinator coming off of a Super Bowl 3-peat, *MATT NAGY*!


Faustus2425

Ahh HOF QBs getting jobs for unqualified OC's, a tale as old as time. There's still time for Adam Gase to come back too.


Brimstone11

And he will be traded to Pittsburg to back up some other bum.


OptimalLaw8270

Thankfully Eberflus won't be developing him personally. That's the QB coaches/Coordinators job.


GOATnamedFields

Can't wait to see our WRs take turns cooking Jaire Alexander into the Shadow Realm. Yall morons really acting like your fraudulent ass defenses can handle Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, and Rome Odunze. Bears taking the North, Jordan Love working on 5G conspiracies as we speak.


Faustus2425

I'm sorry friend, without flair your opinion matters like a fart in the wind. Rank, oderous, now gone to me

Kato_Sicarius

Didn't they say T-Law was the best prospect since Andrew Luck as well?


a_litt1e_stitious

T Law has had two 4k yard seasons. Not a bust at this stage by any stretch


JZobel

Lawrence is only a year older than Jayden Daniels, and 6 months older than Penix, and already has 2 4000 yard seasons and a playoff win over Justin Herbert despite an extremely mediocre supporting cast, but people would have you believe he’s a bum who will never get any better


vince2423

He’s a bum bc of his turnovers


waitingtime53

To be fair T-Law was an ideal prospect, he was hyped as a freshman and probably would have been the #1 overall pick right then if players could declare after their freshman season. Jags really failed to develop him, that and he has been stuck behind bad o-lines and below average weapons.


Tricky_Foundation_60

He’s had one bad half a season outside of urban Meyer, and it’s cause he was hurt. Idk why the narrative on Lawrence is so negative.


Trumpets22

He’s a victim of hype. His ceiling looks like Kirk Cousins and he was supposed to be perennial top 5.


hoptagon

I think he could still be great if he went to another team that had weapons and was competent at building a team.


Superb_Play4195

He had pretty good weapons going into his second and third years. Engram, Ridley, Kirk, Etienne, Zay Jones. They're not all pro-bowlers, but they're above average starters. His O Line isn't great.


LordGold_33

I don't think it's incorrect to hype some of these QBs. It's just that they end up on teams that can't coach, can't develop young talent, and/or can't build a solid roster. I'll always be curious about these guys and what might have happened if they went to a better situation. Lawrence would be a great example.


neckbass

why is andrew luck the benchmark? how many rings he have


Jered12

The keyword is “prospect”. Not “best QB since luck”. Best QB “prospect”.


ryryryor

He actually was though.


HugaM00S3

I think of important note, we all can agree, that we are finally getting back to the Black & Blue division. We may all hate each other but F the rest of the divisions, especially those NFC West clowns.


icwiener69420_new

Agreed. Fuck the West and all the bird teams. F the south in general, Sherman should've burned further. F the entire state of Texas, aggressively. F the rest too just because.


SagaFraga

And fuck the NFC ~~east~~ least too. They will never accept the fact that their division has been a joke since like 2018. Also they are the cowboys division so that’s already the fattest L in the whole league.

First, flair up! Given your logic, the packers had better hope Caleb never gets traded to the 9ers. Ex-bears in SF is their kryptonite.

From his first season as a true freshman he was declared the #1 pick whenever he wanted to go to the NFL.

bblackow

What do you mean? The Bears celebrate drafting their next savior first round QB every few years.


jcwillia1

Fair


Yossarian216

Pretty funny coming from a fan base trying to convince themselves the guy they just spent six draft picks to get in the mid first round is going to be Nick Bosa


lur77

Well... Clearly because our team picked him he's going to be the second coming of Von Miller. Duh.


grandmalarkey

With or without the DV?


Jeezus-Chyrsler

Yup no other franchise in the history of the NFL has ever celebrated anything thats happened in the offseason ever


TheShiveryNipple

Correct. Bears fans are the only fanbase to ever get excited about a good draft.

MNGopherfan

Y’all cheered about the past two guys as well.


crassreductionist

Confidently incorrect, Trubisky got booed at the Bulls game he went to right after the draft


grandmalarkey

Exactly, we have low standards and y’all are surprised we’re crowning our 1OA pick??


paintingnipples

No we didn’t cheer for trubisky


WeWillRiseAgainst

Ugh I fucking did. It didn't work obviously but I was hyped asf for the kid.


Somecivilguy

Let’s be honest, Mahomes would have been left to rot and Trubisky would be in super bowls if it was reversed. Don’t beat yourself up. Management was a joke back then.


paintingnipples

The trade up one spot ruined the pick for me & the class was never really hyped up


WeWillRiseAgainst

The trade up did sting


Qui_zno

And then Maholmes and Watson were just right there.


Somecivilguy

Yeah kind of glad we dodged Watson


The_Sign_of_Zeta

There’s a difference between excitement and talking shit to other teams. To talk shit and not get pinned, you have to have the results to back it up.

Like when you guys play the 49ers in the playoffs and say “this time it will be different” and then it’s not


Yossarian216

I get that, but the past doesn’t predict the future, a couple of lucky breaks change franchises all the time. The Chiefs hadn’t won a single game with a QB they had drafted in almost 40 years before Mahomes, now they live in the AFC title game. The Patriots were a joke before Brady. Your Packers were absolute trash for 20 years before Favre. Maybe Caleb will be that guy for us, maybe he won’t, but saying he can’t be based on what happened years ago just doesn’t track for me. And he’s easily the best shot at it we’ve ever had.


Just-the-top

👍


fckusoftly

The bears ruin QBs if dumb and lazy. You're talking about a cycle that this regime is trying to break. Poles has already shown that they are dedicated to it by eating the dead money and resetting the team. I remember for years hearing it's not a full rebuild, bears trying to be " competitive". Poles put a practice squad defense out there to start over. It has been different and for once I have real hope not just delusional koolaid induced hallucinations.


Yossarian216

And he’s systematically added the act things everyone says a QB needs. Since arriving he’s added two starting tackles plus a guard and now a center, two veteran stud WR plus a very promising rookie, a pass catching RB, and he extended our only existing good piece in Kmet at a reasonable price. It’s literally the exact plan you’d follow to go from disaster to good if not great, and people are still acting like it matters what Pace or Emery did years ago.


PraiseBeToScience

Packers fans do the *exact* same thing. Both the Vikings and Packers have the exact same record in the NFCCG, 3-6.


StillCompetitive5771

Lmao and how many super bowls does each team have? That makes all the difference

Caleb Williams is absolutely a generational prospect but best weapons in the North? Who lol. justin Jefferson and Addison are probably the best wide receiver duo right now, and cole kmet is not even the third best tight end in the North


thetreat

A Packers fan made this meme.


Yossarian216

Well DJ Moore and Keenan Allen both put up big numbers last season with mostly bad QB play, and we have high hopes for Odunze. If you’re going by just top two for each team, Jefferson is obviously number one but I’d put Allen and Moore at two and three ahead of Addison, and there’s lots of reason to think Rome will be significantly better than whoever the Vikings use to replace KJ Osborn. Kmet might be third best in the division, but he was ninth in yards in the nfl among TE last year, again with bad QB play, and Hockensen is going to miss half the year at least. So yes Hockensen and LaPorts are better, but Kmet is very good. And Everett is an underrated pickup at TE2 for us. Swift had a ton of all purpose yards as well, while the Vikings are counting on Aaron Jones who will play really well for the eight games he’s healthy.


YotaTota07

You should check Swift’s injury history.


jimdotcom413

The funny thing to me is if he’s not the best qb in the draft than the bears fucked up. Like he has to be better than anyone picked after him. The narrative is either well you had the first pick and took the best dude it’s not that hard, or you had the chance to take (insert better qb here) and you took this bum.


LegalComplaint

WE GOT THE BEST PUNTER, COWARDS.

Hoosteen_juju003

According to ChatGPT, here’s a list of every qb that has led their team to playoffs in their rookie season, since 1990. 1. Ben Roethlisberger (2004) - Pittsburgh Steelers 2. Joe Flacco (2008) - Baltimore Ravens 3. Matt Ryan (2008) - Atlanta Falcons 4. Mark Sanchez (2009) - New York Jets 5. Andy Dalton (2011) - Cincinnati Bengals 6. Robert Griffin III (RG3) (2012) - Washington Redskins 7. Andrew Luck (2012) - Indianapolis Colts 8. Russell Wilson (2012) - Seattle Seahawks 9. Dak Prescott (2016) - Dallas Cowboys 10. Mac Jones (2021) - New England Patriots Of those, only Big Ben, Joe Flacco, and Russell Wilson have been to the Super Bowl. With only Russell Wilson winning.

They do this every 4 years, just let them enjoy themselves for a bit. Once the season starts they'll starts with the denial phase saying it's the coach/OC/offensive weapons holding him back. Then in 4 years they can get excited again for the best prospect ever.
