LOL. Wash rinse repeat. I’ve heard ALl of this for years. Nothing has changed. Nothing is better. We’re in the part of the cycle where the Bears make an exhilarating run to a first round playoff exit. And that’ll be enough to appease the masses. But they’re light years from a SB.
I can’t do anything about past years.
Ryan Poles is not here in past years and he’s not responsible for those so all I can do is watch what he’s done and he’s on the right path.
The Cubs did the same thing for years before Theo Epstein and Theo knew he had to tear it down to the studs and a lot of people were pissed off when he did, and I knew it was the right approach and stuck with him and watched it pay off.
I am hopeful they are on that same path, but I am a little concerned if they are taking decisions out of the hands of the GM as that would point toward continuing dysfunction.
I would hope with a new president and the current GM that they would have a new mindset going forward, but we shall see how much autonomy they are given.
But I’m not going to be upset that they are better today than they were last year because of something that happened years ago. That makes no sense.
Whatever you may think of Ryan Poles, he seems to be doing it right with draft capital and has a lot of money to spend as well, I think he gets it.
For all the debating and arguing about Fields, Poles set himself up to evaluate Justin in 2023, and have the option of moving on if need be. He made a very wise decision in that regard.
