My favorite teams
Wow, I have never heard a single person ever say happy New Year on any day except Jan 1.....great insight
The same people that expected a super bowl from a team that was clearly not close to winning a Super Bowlnot sure what you all expect from a press conference
George McCaskey didn't really give a vote of confidence on Mitch. I thought that was interesting. When asked about him he dodged the question really.
I think he was pretty clear that the player decisions weren't his and that they need to get Mitch more support.
He did that for Cutler, he just said Mitch was inconsistent and moved on. He praised Jay a lot, and said he was the most talented quarterbacks the bears ever had, and that he reminded him of George Halas lol.
His hair was perfect
Here are my takeaways a couple of days after the presser
1. Mitch is going to be the starter, so we can stop talking about Cam, Carr, Bridgewater.
2. I still think they bring a veteran in who is better than Daniel, but they will be more insurance than competition.
3. The OL is getting addressed. Not only were they the one group that got the most negative comments without much positive, but their coach was also fired.
4. Pace knows the TE spot is a wasteland. The Shaheen love was stupid, but we know he is coming to camp to see if they can salvage some value. Burton having another surgery means he cannot be relied on.
5. Leonard Floyd is back and going to make that 13.2 million. Pace seems like he is trying to preserve his job by not bailing on some of his weaker draft picks.
6. It feels like Pace is pot committed to 10.
I also thought it was interesting that George McCaskey kept going back and defering to Pace. Multiple times he pushed it back to what Pace said and also spouted the company line of "It was more than the QB"
Is that a Werewolves reference?
If 1 and 6 are true I'd like to say that Pace and Nagy will be axed next season but with this defense they could still salvage another 8-8 season and continue limping along with this regime. After the Emery/Trestman debacle its actually pretty easy to see.

Never! I’ll be pounding the table for those 3 plus Dalton and others all offseason. Buckle in folks. #AnyoneButTrubisky
