HOw many years is this rebuild going 2 take?

[gobullschi]

The rebuild process began the moment the Bears drafted Justin Fields, so they’re currently in year 2 of a rebuild. The beauty of the NFL is that you can rebuild a franchise in 3-4 seasons if you don’t take any short cuts.

From what we have seen so far, Poles doesn’t appear to be taking any short cuts, which means the Bears will begin to transition out of the “rebuild process” in 2023. Poles will have plenty of cap space to add talent and all of his draft picks to infuse young talent into the roster during Justin Fields “year 3” - which is typically the pivotal year when evaluating QBs.

As others have pointed out, you need to define what metric is used for defining when the “rebuild” is over, because everyone could view that differently. IMO, that’s a combination of having a winning record and Bill Polian’s “Blue-Chip” evaluation (10-12 high level difference makers)

I know some weirdos are calling it a "transitioning" and others are full on saying this is the beginning of a 3-4 year process.

I think it gets done a lot sooner because Poles believes in Fields and Fields will elevate the scrubs being tossed around him on the O and the D will be ELITE next year after they snag Jalen Carter in the 1st round.


What are YOUR thoughts?


No FEAR PORN Please!

i believe we will be better this season than were were last season which honestly a pretty low bar but i think in 2023 this team will be ready to make a run to a division title.

Years 1 and 2- Blame everything on the former regime and wonder why the young and talented QB didn't develop when he's throwing the ball to the worst set of skill position talent in the NFL. The Bears couldn't get WR in year 2 because the talent that fell to them at DT was too good to pass up and Quinn needs to be replaced so lets get some DEs too. BPA no matter what.

Year 3- "Fields is our QB" will be heard a lot and then will become a meme when Poles trades up for his replacement in round 1. Rookie QB doesnt play that well. Obv you can't be too critical of the regime in year 3 because they had a rookie qb. BUT THEY'RE CLOSE!

Year 4- New OC. This is the lightning in a bottle year. The HITS principal is in every atom of the Bears defense. M&M all over the place. They've also added a couple more acronyms to really grow the culture. The Bears play about 8 of the leagues worst QBs and 4 backup Qbs. They're a 6th seed and get blown out in the playoffs. George is thrilled.

Year 5- Toughest schedule in the league. The Bears 3tech is hurt. The offense has been bottom of the league for 5 years post-Nagy with two QBs, two OCs but at least the Bears play good defense and run da baw for 3.8 YPC. Another completely epic EOY presser where somehow George is still employed but he gets to pick out a brand new coach but defense didn't work last time so its time to find a nice OC who was carried by whatever future HOF he was calling plays for.

Year 6- New scheme being developed by HC/offensive guru Colt McCoy. They were only 4 games out of the playoffs. This is very exciting times in Chicago.

Year 7- Poles who is now 300 lbs overweight and 3 years overemployed trades back all of his day 1 and 2 picks to draft 30 OL on day 3. CCS is really excited that he's putting the Bears 4th QB of the Poles regime into a position to succeed with the 30 OL gems, 39 of them who wont even play.

EOY presser announcing they're moving on from Poles. George is disappointed that it didn't work out. Somehow, someway, Virginia is still alive and completely unaware of what has happened the past 40 years. George says that he's learned a lot about evaluating his football team through asking for advice from Aaron Rodgers, HC and QB for the Packers. Decides to make major changes, like expanding their GM search team to the Bears magnificent 7. Olin Kreutz is brought on board to see if the new GM can take a sucker punch to the jaw. If he cant, he's not Bears material. Now secret service agent Charles Tillman is brought in to peanut punch GM candidates briefcases. If they can't hold onto their gear, they shouldn't be involved with decision making. Our last member of the search team is Gill Brant, who is about 30 years expired.

CCS is still CCS. I'm in the Hall of Fame. @Grimson's view count can't be calculated by the worlds greatest mathematicians. The same posters think this next regime will get it right. @Visionman has now given all NFCN teams a chance to earn his fandom so he goes back to being a Lions fan.

When the Bears build a new stadium they will be relevant again.
