Don't know who told you that.
There was a whole thread after last year's Superbowl and the near-consensus was this gets him in. Because he proved if on a good team he could get to the promised land and not just rack up yards.

Last year he had some horrible games along with some good ones but I feel like on balance they won in spite of him more than because of him even though he got the glory.

He'll probably be remembered for that one season and not for being central to the Rams' post-superbowl collapse though.

I could be wrong, but it seems like you are on a mission to prove that everything poles has done so far has been the right thing, and he hasn’t done anything wrong.

Am I right? If not, what mistakes has he made?

This thread is about Allen Robinson and the decision to not bring him back.

Not unlike Peyton Manning's last season in Denver.

Manning should've hung it up after that neck thing he had. 2013 Broncos destroyed teams but #1 offense demonstrated it ain't shit when your quarterback is falling apart and going up against the #1 defense apparently.

He would have made zero difference here. Another WR who can't get any separation would have accomplished nothing.
You mean the guy who produced 1400 yards for us..ok. I get he is getting older, but he never had a true offseason or time to build a connection with Fields. Between Mitch, Foles, Dalton, and then Fields it was a mess of a QB carousel. And then Nagy was a b***

His ability to provide a QB a security blanket is worth more than the stats as well. We just will never know the actual truth though the easy thing is to speculate because he is aging and

I just dont get the need to trash a guy who was good to us for most of his time here. Guess some people get butthurt too easily.

the NFL is the sports equivalent to "what have you done for me lately?" like yeah it's great Robinson put up numbers in like 2018 and 2019, but you would be demoralized too within that Nagy system. he had his shot to prove his worth to the Bears and he sulked and halfassed it every week. the only thing that would've made things worse is if he got traded to the Rams mid-season last year and rode coattails to a Super Bowl. also worth noting, the Bears quarterback situation in 2021 was pretty terrible. Nagy got worse every year.

also face it Robinson is no Brandon Marshall or Alshon Jeffery. he only got the rub cause the Bears had nothing else then. and apparently still don't. but whatever.

Allen Robinson is not a guy I would call a security blanket. This isn't 4 years ago

Lol

That’s what I thought…

What are you babbling about? I clearly asked a specific question in OP and you somehow want to change that to something else? Just start your own thread with whatever you're trying to get across here

I would agree but I think the OP has already said he is not judging the Velus pick yet because it’s only been 10 games…
It's only been ten games of Allen Robinson's new deal and new team too though. Not saying I disagree that ultimately we shouldn't have signed AR, but I think it's silly to believe Poles has been flawless (and nonsensical to think he will be in the future). Ultimately he'll have flubs and successes - we're just hoping he hits way more than misses or at least does so on the biggest decisions.

He’s definitely made some mistakes. That shouldn’t be debatable. They should be expected honestly

He did get one more ring out of it.

I really wasn't making this thread because of Poles. Honestly, Pace would deserve more credit in regards to not signing Allen Robinson long term in 2021

He's atoning for the first few weeks of the season where he was shitting on everything... :smug2:

Yes, glad we signed ESB. Pringle, Pettis, traded a 7th for Harry, traded a 2nd for Claypool, and spent a 3rd rd pick all to try and replace ARob.

All because he isn't performing well in an abysmal Rams offense doesn't mean he wouldn't have made a huge difference here.

Maybe we are more successful in the redzone early on with him. Maybe we beat the Commanders and Giants who I think we were combined 0-7 in the redzone against.

But who cares. Apparently the goal of this season was to lose. So, yeah, if that's the case then great decision.
Why would we pay Allen Robinson big money when he was literally not even trying last season? He was a low effort guy. That would have fit in really well with Eberflus.

Maybe you think he was the missing cog to the DEEP playoff run the 2022 Bears could have made. ?

I never said I thought the Bears would make a DEEP playoff run. I HOPED they would play more meaningful games in hopes of making the playoffs.

I'm glad the staff figures out to use Justin in the run game. I think they are fortunate in a sense though because thet provided him with dogs*** at receiverm it very easily could have been a waste of a developmental year. And in ways, we are wasting precious reps with ESB, Pringle, and Pettis running routes.

The thing is, there was no backup plan. Or it was a piss poor one. I mean, just look at the fact we had to use a 2nd to trade for Claypool after trading away our two defensive captains. Obviously Poles and the staff understand they are failing Fields and his development and that's why they felt the need to trade for Claypool
