Peter King to The Pelican Neck & Motorized Walmart Shopping Cart Show: Poles Never Convinced JF Is Their Franchise QB

[Anytime23]

The most respected football journalist in America says it. As if it wasn't blatantly obvious by the way he built the roster last season as he surrounded him with garbage coaches.

A nice built in scapegoat to buy his time in Chicago. The book on how to play George and Tanesha is out there and everybody has a copy. Like I've been telling you guys, best place to be a NFL GM.

Hopefully Kevin Warren gets rid of this fat idiot and they can do a complete staff & QB rebuild for the first time in decades.

CC: @Chief Walking Stick did you hear this today or did you fall asleep during David Ross' interview?

Clean house! Poles is horrible what decision has he made that worked out? You can’t even say Wright cause he could have had Carter. Let’s even give him that, what else?

Its an interesting take. Peter's more plugged in than some of the guys watching the all-22, but Chase Daniel was on with Parkins and Spiegel later in the day and basically said while Fields has some things to work on, a lot of the disfunction is around Fields, and basically straight called Getsy's scheme garbage.

Even so, I still don't see Fields as a long term answer - his vision is clearly lacking in the middle of the field. But I don't want Getsy anywhere NEAR who comes next.

Everyone who knows how to truly break down tape have all said the scheme is shit and all of the players seem to have no idea what they're doing and many of them dont seem to even care. Ive never seen a more clear cut indicator that coaching is the biggest problem, regardless of how flawed the roster is.

Fields is broken beyond repair. He could have been the long term answer but he's gotten 3 years of terrible coaching combined with shit OL play and when he finally got a legitimate NFL WR it doesn't matter because everything sucks. Not to mention knowing that if you score 10 or 30 points, you're not going to win anyways.

If he wasn't convinced Fields was the guy when he took the job he should have traded him immediately.

**** Poles, he's trying to save his pathetic skin.

People keep saying Fields is "broken". But he's been the exact same player for 2+ years in the NFL that he was in college. All his flaws were there in college. He is the problem, not the coaches, not the situation. He is a very, very bad quarterback. I think people are blinded by his awesome raw talent but at no time has he ever showed any ability to be an NFL quarterback.

That's not to say what's around him isn't garbage, but it's very clear that Fields' inability to play quarterback from the pocket makes it all but impossible to '" coach" him or run an offense of any kind. What do you do with a quarterback who can't read defenses? Who can't process zone coverage can't read man coverage leverage?

I think Justin Fields is a great kid. It wouldn't surprise me if,in 2 or 3 years, he pops back up as a decent quarterback. But right now, he is historically bad.

99% of prospects have flaws. You might be interested to know that that's what coaching is for. But in Chicago thats about as rare as having a QB or a GM or a clue.

Yes poles is a genius all along never had faith in fields, wanted to acquire more draft capital and continue the tank.

Maybe this explains why his first 2 drafts have been absolute shit, probably had to do it to make sure the bears end up in last place. Also had to sack that 32nd overall for claypool just to realllyyy make sure there was no talent on this team.

Hilarious seeing how much the tune on Poles has changed on Bears twitter. Two off-seasons in a row its all "KING POLES DOES IT AGAIN" after signing guys like Byron Pringle, Lucas Patrick, Justin Jones and the plethora of non-impact players. These must have been the same fans who said you cant fire Pace because of Nick Kwitkowski and Trevis Gipson(zero stats this season. idk if hes even getting playing time). Now everyone gets to see the master plan coming together with the dogshit coaching staff and its the worst we've ever seen it.

his first draft class was borderline worthless (I actually do like Gordon) and was only propped up by people trying to convince themselves that a 5th round tackle was going to turn into an above average starting LT.

That first draft class was sad and pathetic, lacking a 1st or not.

This years draft says enough for me, I’d don’t care if some of these guys pan out the writing is on the wall poles has 0 clue wtf he is doing and can’t evaluate.

Need a full house cleaning but clowns like poles and his predecessors know how to throw people under the bus to keep their shit shows going

No cap this backtracking to save the job makes me sick. Week 3 and even poles is throwing in the towel on the season.

George doesn't do full house cleanings. This team still employs, and has even promoted, scouts who unanimously chose Mitch over Mahomes (among other blunders).

Pringle cost the Bears a 4th round comp pick

1st year tank was the right decision. But he gets no margin of error for this year. Team was supposed to show improvement but somehow has shown a ton of regression. Amazing incompetence.

That was the projection at the time but ultimately Megashank didn't qualify as a compensatory free agent. Poles would have had to abstain from at least two of his five bad signings to get a comp pick.

Gotta build thru the draft
Gotta build from the trenches out
Gotta fortify the lines

1st draft....takes a nickel, strong safety, gadget guy who has no gadgets

1st season trades a 2nd round pick for a wr
Doesn't want to pay a lb; then pays 2 lb in the only real significant off season moves....well I guess he did give 30 mil to a guy on permanent PTO

Get this fking clown out of here
