      @Troysteece - I don't know about your opinion about it but I am concerned and disappointed the Bears didn't focus on DE and could have drafted Xavier Thomas in the 4th. The Bears could have traded down, still drafted Xavier Thomas and the punter in the 5th round.

      Same. Beyond that one year in high school they went to the Superbowl (amazing) ... Then every Cutler year had something happen, whether it was the 4int the first game. The injury in the NFC championship, his thumb getting hurt, or just barely missing the playoffs.... We've had it tough. This is amazing.

    While it's still not a guarantee that Caleb and this new offense under Waldron is a success, but here's why I feel better compared to Trubisky/Fields:
    1) Caleb is simply the better QB prospect than those two were and he also has the best arm of the three (you can't teach that!)
    2) Unlike Pace who waited until after the QB was drafted, Poles actually has solid "foundation" for his young QB as noted below:
    Trubisky > had a very poor & new OC in Loggains, had a decent OL, so-so defense, but these were his WRs his rookie year (Wright, Bellamy, Inman, & Cohen)
    Fields > also had a poor & new OC in Getsy, a bad OL, so-so defense, and while AR12 was on the team, this was his "lost year" and was never the same after it! While losing what was a shadow of what AR12 was, Fields's best WR was our 2020 5th round pick Mooney that year, but he never followed up after that season!
    Williams > has a proven/experienced OC in Waldron this time, a decent OL, a promising defense, and the best assortment of weapons I've ever seen on a Bears roster! We're talking arguably the most talented WR trio in the league (Moore/Allen/Odunze), a solid TE duo (Kmet/Everett), and a solid RB trio (Swift/Herbert/Johnson).
