Sad News from Chicago Bears Today…..
Setting aside the Quarterback confusion, several position groups must be addressed between now and when rookie camp begins in May. If we have learned anything during Ryan Poles’ first two years, his drafts have landed starters regardless of the round the player is chosen.
The need to improve the OL with a new Center and added depth along the line. If Eddie Jackson has played his last down in Chicago, his position must be filled. A dominant edge playing opposite Montez Sweat.
For the Chicago Bears, the Caleb Williams situation continues to garner attention. The longer it takes before general manager Ryan Poles makes his decision official, the more the speculation and opinions will grow. Just wait until the Super Bowl is finished this Sunday. All eyes will be on the Bears and Poles.
The issue is so big that it created factions among Chicago Bears fans, Team Fields for current starter Justin Fields and Team Williams. It has gotten to near Civil War status. Each side is squarely entrenched with their guy and daggers are thrown at each side.
The national media is certainly interested in what Poles and the Bears decide. Poles’ decision won’t affect just the Bears. It will have ramifications throughout the league. There are plenty of teams who would trade a heavy load of assets for a chance to draft Williams. On the other hand, there are also plenty who will trade for Fields.
Potential Chicago Bears draft target Caleb Williams draws comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. NFL analyst Merril Hoge gave his assessment and he did not hold back in his criticisms.
The feeling among most of the media is that Poles will forego the treasure trove of picks for the top pick of the draft and use it on Williams. Williams draws comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. His hype is super high.
While many media members are falling all over themselves in their fawning over Williams, there are some who disagree. They don’t see Williams as a generational talent. A former NFL scout didn’t even give him a first-round grade.
Now comes former NFL player and NFL analyst Merril Hoge gave his opinion on the matter. Hoge played seven seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers and one for the Chicago Bears. He was recently asked about the Williams hype and what the Bears should do with the pick.
Hoge had a harsh assessment of Williams and gave the unpopular opinion.
