    I think the GM should stay, he put them in position to have the number one pick this year with a somewhat decent and young roster.

      Traded 1 overall for:

      DJ Moore, 9 overall, 61 overall, a 2nd in 2025, …and 1 overall.

      Keep that GM.

        Bears keep whiffing on QB. Or maybe it’s the coaching hiring that they’ve whiffed? Or both? Eitherway that’s also on the GM. So, I’m kinda 50-50. I agree with a big big asterisk.

          I think it’s a combination of player development and organizational ineptitude. They don’t put players in positions to succeed and they don’t develop players. Until recently very few bear draft picks had gotten a second contract. If you can’t develop any position, why would you be able to develop a QB

      True. That trade was a masterclass. They probably just gotta get Flus outta there. I’m just being extreme since the Bears have a bundle of positions with greater need than swapping a QB.
