If Cunningham Leaves for a GM job....

[DefNextYear]

Oh I know, it was all relative to #1 overall, not 1st round pick. And that got lost in the media frenzy of talking about it. It was all based on the skill position players. And I think everyone outside of Seattle had no idea how bad Waldron would be.

I wanted to give Waldron the benefit of the doubt… but I guess he cleared up the doubts pretty quickly.

I hate ryan poles but the relatively recent interview with Ben Johnson's agent would suggest Poles respect around the league is better than most imagine.

So when you say national media you just watch ESPN or something?

How often do you see a new coach come in and immediately trash the current GM? Are you guys that dense?

And no, don't watch ESPN either. I know boomers don't realize there's other forms of media, but ESPN isn't the only national media out there.

The fact ian Cunningham has had interst from multiple teams now shows that the bears FO is regarded a lot better than bears fans think.

Poles major mistake was keeping eberflus around. Who knows if he also had his hands tied in that decision, there have been conflicting reports on how much say he had in firing him.

People act like other GM's dont make roster mistakes too. Brett Veach has had plenty of swings and misses, FFS the guy drafted a trash RB in the first round.

If caleb williams performs to the level he was drafted at, Ryan Poles will look like a genius again. Having an elite NFL QB covers up a lot of roster issues.

Conflicting reports from where?

So the agent's comments are worthless? This media doesn't count?

Hold on, wait a minute. Are you claiming there was a better option for Veach?

1-32 KC	RB - Edwards-Helaire
2-33 CIN	WR - Tee Higgins
2-34 IND	WR - Michael Pittman Jr.

It makes zero sense because the entire roster performed terribly this year.

Its clearly a coaching/culture issue. All these players didnt just magically become bad.

no, but a bit over rated to begin with

Almost "fired" according to the SHITcago media driving a narrative.

It doesnt sound like poles job was ever in question

don't act like the a large portion of the fan base wasn't helping to push that narrative
