What facts do you want?
The Bears started 3-4 their GM made trade that he thought would put them into playoff contention. He would have never traded that pick for Claypool. He made that trade with an eye on the Bears getting to the playoffs in a pathetic division. The Vikings had a horrible point differential the Lions had a porous defense and the Packers had a pissy Aaron Rodgers struggling to get on the same page with his WRs and Poles thought now was the time to strike.
Instead they lost every game the rest of the season and the entire Bears media turned around and said oh well he meant to do that.
"I am excited about this player," Poles said. "I've really liked the way that our offense is starting to come together and move. I thought it was important to add another impact player for our offense to go along with the guys that we currently have in the receivers room right now.
"I like the way Justin is trending," Poles said. "And I think adding another big body who's physical, explosive, great leaping ability, can stretch the field but also is violent with the ball in his hands, as well as a blocker, enhances everyone around him."
"You can never have enough weapons and guys that help your quarterback gain confidence," Poles said. "I know a lot of the guys are starting to make plays for us. Adding another receiver is going to allow him to continue to grow and gain that confidence."
None of those quotes are from a GM that's "tanking"
But after the Bears lost the rest of their games suddenly it's a narrative shift.... Oh he meant to do that. They meant to tank. And then after Houston won everyone became happy about being the worst team in the NFL.
WTF? How in the F do you get excited about being there worst team? Somehow that's where we are.
The offense shit the bed with no games in which they scored more than 24 points the rest of the way.
Folks are excited about who exactly?
If you want to give Darnell Wright his props okay I'll buy it.
DJ Moore okay.
Trumaine Edmunds is worse than Roquan Smith but decent.
Who else?
They literally added one impact player with all those draft picks and all that money.
