[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1036618, member: 18006"] I used to be a punter. Not at the NFL level, of course, or even major college, but I do have a grasp of how important a punter is. I just think y'all had more important holes to fill. To me, it's just one more questionable decision by Poles. You've got a pretty good team on paper, but I think your GM sucks. He's made poor management decision after poor management decision for years, and one of them is Matt Eberflus - a bottom 1//3, maybe even bottom 1/4 head coach. And I think Poles will continue to make naive and ill-considered decsions, and refrain from making correct ones, such as replacing Eberflus would have been. All the punters in the world can't fix a crappy coach and a GM who's in over his head. The Bears will win games, but not as many as they should with the personnel they have. They'll be a factor in the North, but your GM and coach will always hold you back. That's why I keep singing the same song over and over again every time we talk about this - no matter how many smart moves Chicago makes, the Bears just seem to keep finding new ways to be the Bears. You guys are legitimately making a move, but the problem is, you picked a period of time in which every other NFC North team is improving as well. As I recall, Chicago went 2-4 in the division in 23, splitting with Minnesota and the Detroits and going 0-fer with Green Bay. The magic 8-ball assures me that the Packers will be significantly better this year, and the Lions will probably be less improved than Green Bay but still significantly better. I think Chicago will improve more this year than Minnesota, but I'm not sure it will be enough to do better than .500 in the North (Caleb is a wild card; it all depends on how he adapts and how quickly). Eberflus is in his final year. If Chicago does poorly, does Poles double down anyway and extend him? Or start fresh with another new coach, just as your messiah QB is trying to hit his stride and figure out how to do his job? Again, I just see a pattern of organizationl mediocrity and instability extending indefinitely into the future. [/QUOTE]
