A few thoughts:
1. I absolutely don't think this tips Poles' hand. In fact, I'm guessing part of Waldron's appeal is that he came in with a plan for Fields or any of the rookie QBs that they might draft.
2. Whichever QB they go with, I hope the brain trust realizes that you do not need a lot of cooks in the kitchen.
But then again....

Sir this is CCS, you must have your final opinion the moment after the hire and are not allowed to be patient.
And the only two options are love completely like a CSSer loves pizza and porn or hate with an unending rage like a CSSer hates nuance

Seattle fans seem ecstatic he's no longer their OC. Their offense wasn't really any better than the Bears offense this year despite having a better quarterback and more weapons at receiver. I hope we aren't being out of town stupid here, but this is exactly the type of hire you get when you aren't selecting an OC to be your head coach. Most of the good ones are interviewing for head coaching jobs.

At the very least, he's an experienced playcaller who oversaw the development of Geno Smith—so not a guy who gets hired for working with a HOF talent (Getsy).

Look forward to seeing what he can do with Caleb Williams.

There are fans who wanted Andy Reid out of KC midseason for their slump. Sports fans are the worst, so I bet with Seattle missing the playoffs he's the scapegoat. Not saying he's great or anything, but every fanbase usually bitches at the OC or coach when shit doesn't go their way. A mid QB has a bad season? Must be coaching.

Think he’ll give the Pats tips on coaching Williams?

You think Pete Carrol had some scrub on his staff? This is a top hire not some reject, he assuredly was sought after by more than just the Bears. When you hire someone with experience you can always pick them apart. This league is parity personified.

It was a little more than "slight." His TD percentage dropped by 1.2% while his INT% stayed almost identical. Completion percentage went from 70% to 65%. Rating dropped from 101 to 92. Considering the skill players around him, those are pretty solid drops.
Considering he's a 33 year old QB who hasn't played at those levels for two consecutive years I'd say that was just fine.

Who did you want them to hire?

I wanted them to hire Ben Johnson as Head Coach. Once they decided to keep Flus, all my hope for this team went out the window.

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.
Siri, what does “petty” mean?

I don't know about Johnson, but hope absolutely.
He was my first choice, but I also would've been fine with Vrabel, Slowik, Harbaugh, Belichick, etc. Pretty much any of the rock star candidates out there this season that I've never seen before.

Last night I was sick as a dog so your usual idiocy where you make obvious statements as if you're dropping knowledge on the rest of us was far more annoying than usual. And you never answered my question who you want the Bears to get at QB to own the NFC.
