The stats are totally misleading. This defense played one good game against the Patriots. Otherwise they've been bad to terrible.

Agree 100%. To pay him would have been a mistake, he does not seem to fit what they want. And to tag him would have more than likely created a problem child.
I think what this really means, at least in my opinion, is that they are sold on Fields and now have the luxury of trading down that first pick for more picks, unless the guy they really covet is there at the higher pick.
I also think that they will use one of the second rounders on a QB.

I never said it was worth it. I’m just fine with the trade. I said finding talent like him is hard and not done fast. My points is with all the holes in the defense and offense it will take at least 3 years to rebuild.

Yes, he could decline or get injured, but so can any player. That's also why you give yourself 1.5 years to come to an agreement. You can back out at any moment. This staff grades each player every week on their standards. By the end of 1.5 years both sides know exactly where each either is and if a deal is imminent.
Comparing to Quinn is a completely different situation. Quinn was 32 years old and past his prime years. There is no scenario where we were going to extend Quinn.
Also, I would care if another player set a team record elsewhere. Especially a WR. But their age also should be considered as well.

Well I think giving up 6 points until the fumble inside the 5 against WAS was pretty good. I'd say 10 against SF was pretty good.
They have been far, far from the worst defense. I find it weird to complain about giving up 19 per game, which is what they were giving up before Sunday.

This sends a bad message.
To me, Smith was a keeper...Young guy, just entering his prime, one of the five best at his position in the NFL, no off-field issues. That's a foundation piece.

Your link is projected by Vegas over the season before the season started, not what is actually the case. This is an idiotic thing to link as evidence and, again, shows that you are just pulling shit from your ass.

Nah, Secondary is young and ascending. Linebackers are largely dependent on their surrounding cast. They've got all the resources they need to address the d-line. They need better receivers. The o-line has a lot of promise. If Fields continues to improve they can compete for the play-offs next season.

Poles is trying to stock pile the worst assortment of players in the history of the NFL.

Not the worst. But bottom 5. Again, stats are misleading. The defense has been bad for most of the season.

You get that Ryan Poles was not part of all those Bears picks prior to this last draft, where he has added 3 primary starters, a rotational pass rusher, and a top 12 punter all without a first round pick and only 5 picks heading into the draft, aren't you? And what exactly has he lost, a DE that wasn't going to be on the team next season regardless and a very good, not great, ILB that was either gone or disgruntled playing on the franchise tag?

They may wind up close to bottom five, but they absolutely weren't for the first eight weeks.

That is absurd. They're not even close to the worst team in the NFL this season.

Well, when the season is over we’ll have the correct SOS. Right now only 3 out of 8 teams have a winning record.You can see here:

You must not watch the games then. I don't know what to tell you. But when teams average 156 yards a game rushing on you and your offense can't score you might look decent statistically but they have been consistently bad for most of the season. 31st rushing defense, 31st 3rd down defense.

That is a different point, has nothing to do with what we were arguing, and is also likely very wrong, with Philly, Buffalo, Minny, Miami all left on the schedule.

2nd and 5th for a half season rental isn't too bad. Tackle stat padding from a non impact player just wasnt worth what Roquan was asking. Good on Poles to get something out of it.
