I agree. It’s unfair to the posters here to bring up the Bears when this is specifically a non Bears thread.

@nc0gnet0 Looks like Lions lose their TE coach to the Jets. I’m sure by now you’ve cleared out Costco of all their Kleenex.

But according to the Fish tickler, they have all the talent in the world and coaching doesn’t matter.

yeah they did, but Gibbs, St Brown, Williams, Sewell, and Hutchinson are still in Detroit, not to mention Branch, Joseph and Montgomery

You do realize Ben Johnson had a top 5 offense without Gibbs, Williams, LaPorta and Monty right? I mean that group in 2022 had less weapons than the Bears do right now.

They don’t need coaches any offensive coaches. They are all HOF’s and have Dan Campbell!!

Injuries on defense caused 5 turnovers from the offense and 4 INTs from your QB?
Yes, Johnson does take the playbook with him. Morton will have his way of doing and seeing things which will be different than the way Johnson did them and based on what Johnson said about how Campbell operates, Morton will be empowered to do things the way he sees fit. Johnson was the most highly sought after head coaching candidate for a reason while Morton has only been OC in the NFL before for one year at 56 years old. You can't pretend like that won't potentially have a big impact.
Johnson is regarded for tailoring his offense around what his players do well, not just dropping some system on any group of players. And yes, we know the O-line needs to get better and have lots of resources to address it. We'll see if the moves work out.
How do you figure? Sweat was battling a calf injury all year and all the key players on defense are either in their prime or entering their prime, and we replaced one good defensive coordinator (Eberflus) for another (Allen). We also have the resources to make some upgrades there as well. It's hard to see them be significantly worse, barring injuries of course.
I think Johnson's offense with requisite upgrades on the O-line will be a hell of a lot better than the shitshow we had last year, yes.
For sure. The Bears are the favorites to finish last again until they show otherwise.
Edit to add: I think the Vikings showed that they were paper tigers, as always. I don't think the Packers are that great and I think the Lions will fall off a bit. But even then, all three still figure to be good/very good teams and the Bears have some catching up to do.

less weapons, but the nearly same OL with Zeitler being the only difference, and Jamal Williams was better than any of the bears running backs, and they also had St Brown, Hockenson, Chark, Raymond and Reynolds, so while not as good as the bears it was still a solid unit, so all you you have to do is get a decent running back a better TE, and replace 3 spots on your OL with 3 all pros and your good to go

Talent only gets you so far if your coaching sucks.
There have been plenty of examples of this in every sport

Yes, coaches don't ever put players in the best position to succeed or have anything to do with them exploiting an opposing team.

didn't say that, but numerous coaches have taken promotions and have failed, most likely because they don't have the same cast to work with, however I'm not surprised that you don't get that
