10 times Better than what they had last year. And injuries are gonna happen in football. Just the way it is.

Maybe they'll be in a position to take the top OG in next years draft.

I think they’re looking at him as a two year bridge. He had a pec injury in ‘23 but he’s missed just a few games over the last several years.
I’d bet Poles would get a bit more “benefit” from you if he was dumb enough to retain Justin Fields.

Fields is gone and on a franchise that's given him a young & talented OL. I suspect he's going to thrive in New York because the support that matters (the OL) is there and the expectations are low. I'm confident that they're going to have a top running game in the NFL and Wilson is going to have a career year - they'll be harder to stop than expected.
If Poles didn't spend nearly ALL of his major resources on weapons - I'd have much more faith.
-Claypool (traded for 32nd overall pick)
-Moore (traded for 1st round equivalent pick and given largest contract in team history)
-Rome (taken 9th overall)
-Allen (4th round pick for a salary dump one year rental)
-Kmet (given a top 10 TE contract)
-Loveland (top 10 pick)
-Burden (top 40 pick)
vs
-Wright (taken 9th overall)
-Davis (mid tier contract for a fucking bum)
-Jackson (6th round salary dump)
-Thuney (future 4th for a a salary dump one year rental)
That's 2-3x the resources on weapons vs OL talent. They could have kept Justin, gotten the haul and if they had used so little of the resources on the OL I'd still not be a fan because I just don't see this strategy working elsewhere in any meaningful way. It's like going to the grocery store and buying all candy and wondering why you have chronic stomach aches. There's no fucking substance.

Poles is on his last legs here because he can't build a substantial OL and has instead prioritized weapons over protecting his QB. Has nothing to do with who's playing QB or who's calling plays and everything to do with his poor roster construction and how he's spent his resources.

They need to hope they don't desperately need the top OT next year. Either Ozzy or Kiran needs to definitely be that guy or that is where they will need to focus their top pick.

Fingers crossed one of those 2 guys step up more than we expect and the first pick they draft next year is a Pass Rusher.

We all know Poles sucks. He got a second wind because of the new HC. If that what it takes for him to finally address the OL then so be it

Just say what you're trying to say, because this doesn't seem clear at all actually.

He's saying we'd need more receivers.

I kinda feel like he's saying that the QB is the problem. But I'm not really sure.
Is the oline the problem? Is Ryan Poles the problem? What's the OP's agenda here? I feel like when people make posts like this, there is always some sort of agenda. We need to know the agenda before we can diagnose what this thread is about. I guess I could go read the OP's previous posts, but I ain't doing all that.
Regardless, this thread has the stink of ulterior motives all over it. Just come out and say it!

He is for sure. @DefNextYear is just joking and it’s pretty funny.

I do not like poles at all but it’s really hard to be negative about the off season they have had the last 2 years.
They drafted the top qb prospect at 1 overall, drafted a great WR prospect at 9 overall. He signed the top available HC who will run the offense.
They signed 3 interior OL, bolstered the DL. Poles clearly took input from the new HC and drafted 2 more first round talent offensive skill players.
By the end of this year the offense really should be looking like a top 10 unit, if it doesn’t it will either fall on Caleb or the OL moves not panning out.

Nor where the Bears replacing three/four starters on the O line in this draft had they not picked up those F/A O Linemen.
