This one looks like a positive for Fields' tenure. I like the hire. Safe and solid. I do suspect they look at film of Fields and prospects for a while and discuss options. Always was and will be Poles final decision but if he's not listening to his expert coaches, he's not doing his job.
He does have connections to Caleb though

I didn't say it was good or bad, just thought it was funny. When he was announced as a candidate they wanted the bears to trade fields for him lol

Seems like an excellent hire to me. It is weird how Seattle fans hate the guy though, cause from the outside looking in he seems like a great coach.

That's fine for them. What he did to revitalize Geno Smith's career is all I need to know. Everyone can argue about what this means for Justin Fields, but that's not the point he's a great hire because he got more out of their talent than he should have. When you get more out of your talent than you should that's good enough for me.
Supposedly the guy that revitalized geno Smith is the oc in Tampa that just revitalized baker Mayfield. He was the Seattle qb coach last year. Supposedly why geno regressed this season

Seattle's running game was a victim of not running many plays relative to other teams. I think they averaged 4.5ypc over the last two years. And to me that OL is pretty average.

Okay if you want to come pick a fight with me because I actually said something nice about what the Bears did go right ahead. But I'm not taking the bait.

Geno was always going to regress though. He struggled in 2022 going against real defenses. He just had to play tougher defenses in 2023. Seattle would be wise to get a QB early in this draft

He’s not picking a fight with you? It’s okay to discuss football without getting defensive

I know. But I feel that happens every year. There’s always a group that hates a coach that’s loud about it. He has a nice resume. I’ll just stay in wait and see mode.
Sir this is CCS, you must have your final opinion the moment after the hire and are not allowed to be patient.

I guess you missed the fun with him from last night. I doubt he woke up this morning and thought I'm going to have a cordial discussion with Daniel.
