lots of hyperbole, little substance. Left yourself room to critique the pick if he is not generational and they don't make the playoffs for the next 10-15 years. slop basically.
Edit: It's the one thing I see with supposed sports writers on the site. No critical thinking. Just clickbait titles and piggybacking off the work of others...most of the time twitter wanna be writers as well. If any of you want to be true writers, you don't need breaking news, you need good insight, good analysis, and good storytelling.
Two out of three wouldn't be bad. I would take good storytelling with better grammar that brings other people's good analysis to my attention. But yes, this article doesn't really give anyone much to talk about.
I would like to point out a factual error: The article states that "No team in the history of the NFL has supported a rookie QB
by adding two pass catchers who had over 1,200 yards receiving the prior year" and that Chicago is the first to do so. Chicago only added one 1,200 yarder this year; the added DJM last year. Maybe the writer misspoke, because maybe the Bears are the first team who signed such a high performing WR in the same year they drafted a QB. I do not know offhand. That being said, the writer misquotes the tweet cited - Courtney Cronin stated that "Per
@ESPNStatsInfo , there has never been a QB selected in the top five in NFL draft history to play their rookie season with multiple players who had at least 1,200 receiving yards in their previous NFL season (Moore: 1,364 yards // Allen: 1,243 yards in 2023)."
I am fine with speculation - there is nothing wrong with saying something like "if the Bears draft a WR at 9, they would be making a move to turn around the nature of offensive ball in Chicago." I would like to see some analysis here. Which WRs that could be taken in the first round has Chicago met with? Are there any mid-round prospects that would make a splash as a role player? This is actually where the writer could be giving us a lot to talk about with substance.
The concluding paragraph is just sloppy and could use the red pen - I think the writer could say just as much in half as many words and it would look a bit more professional. Something like "Ryan Poles is lining up to change the future fortune of the Chicago Bears in a way nobody else has for their team in history. The next decade or more should be exciting for Bears fans." Half as many words, and far better grammar.
