Rome Odunze Breakdown

[gallagher]

What type of micromanaging do you think George is utilizing? Do you think he’s giving the coaching staff notes? Is he suggesting route concepts. Maybe he’s trying to influence training techniques.

The premise is pretty silly. Certainly there are owners that are hands on like Jones and Tepper.

I don’t put George even close to those guys.

I would guess that it isn't the micromanagement at issue. I think they have just made poor hiring decisions repeatedly. Most GMs, coaches and QBs don't make it far in this league, and it is just painful that passing offenses have exploded in the past 15 years, and yet this franchise is last to the buffet when it comes to fielding a top QB.

I'm just going to have to thank you for the compliment, get off my high horse, and move on. I felt the need to state my opinion on that specific matter. I'm not here to defend that poster, I am here to talk Bears football.

By the way, how excited are you for Odunze? As if I couldn't be excited enough on draft day, @Adipost made such a good breakdown that I'm twice as excited.

@Adipost is easily a top 3 poster on this forum along with @Bort and someone else I can't think of right now.

Wish he posted more!

I think it's the myth, the legend. Bears Footbaw. Type of micromanaging. Do it for Papa Bear.

We know they get the propaganda march when they come into Halas Hall. We see the hype films. We hear about it from the coaches.

I can look at history and see the Bears team that ignored offense to only have defense never existed but fans eat that crap up. You don't think coaches get fed the same crap? They've said they do.

That mind of a genius they had been in is revisionist history that got lost in translation playing the telephone game and no consideration given to an evolving game.

I’ve been on the Odunze train for quite awhile. I was absolutely thrilled they were able to draft him.

I believe he’s a unique talent with the intelligence and work ethic needed to unlock his potential at the NFL level.

I believe the guy you can't think of is either @windy or @The Hawk.

I don't think windy has been here in a while. I used to enjoy reading how weekly thoughts and observations after a Bears game.

I think the poor hiring decision comes down to them hiring who's willing to buy into it or at least pay the lip service.

It does seem different with Poles. Like he knows how to keep them happy while also building a modern football team.

It's not only about a top QB. It's a top offense. You're not going to have a top QB without a supporting cast. That is the failing of the Bears since Papa Bear. He didn't build teams like that but it's been going on since the McCaskeys took over.

The number of times we've tried to have a top QB since McMahon is pitiful, let alone tried to have a top offense.

Pegger, Bearmick both went MIA.

I heard that he should be playing TE, though...

The McCaskeys are that "mystical force" that keeps hiring bad GMs and coaches.

I can see where you are stuck in the "Groundhog Day" carrousel, constantly going up only to come crashing down again and starting the process all over again.

However; like Groundhog Day, you need to look for the something different that has happened to see if there is a chance of finally moving forward beyond Groundhog day and see the actual day after groundhog day.

Well, the Bears have finally added two layers of upper management that they did not have before. These additions are important because they keep George McCaskey insulated from the need to make any decisions, besides called strikes and balls.

Yes, the Bears did have a president of football operations before and, yes, we do not know how their new hire is going to turn out, but it is hard to imagine Kevin Warren being worse than Sweaty Teddy. Sweaty Teddy was just a bean counter who undersold the Bears' financial value and as we all know, a bean counter, at his best, only provides this ...

Because of this, George had to tell the old GM/coach that they 'had enough' beans and he then was forced to use a fortune teller, a Ouija board, those sticks that are used to find water and the dug-up remains of some long-dead GM to find him his next GM and head coach.

Poles has found Ian Cunningham who executes a bit of electrocution, like in Groundhog Day, to get Poles to not overpay for his drafted players.

Things are different.

Sure, not all things are different. "It's cold out there. It's always cold out there". Seeing that fans want "Bear weather", November on will be "cold out there".

But, just because the last two Punxsutawney Phils went down in a fiery crash off a cliff, doesn't mean that the latest Punxsutawney Phil will also suffer the same fate.

Hey Adi, if you still browse and see this resurrected, just want to say we miss you and those great takes. If you never do another, I'm sure plenty here thank you for your efforts.

I keep coming back to read Adi's post, especially this thread. I don't have the patient to do it like Adi. Besides, Adi would always be on fire.
His breakdowns is some the better material that's out there.

His ball placement seemed poor, but he was being bailed out by his receivers…

I doubt Penix ever threw a decent pass that didn't slow any of his own receivers down..
