Until they do take the field in 12 days, all we can go off of is 2019's performance And by kick in the nuts you mean finding a new job? Yes. He and Nagy can both go if they miss playoffs again.

Question still stands, what does this offense do well? We haven't seen a single snap yet. Tough to say what we do well considering we don't even know what kind of attack we are going to present. We are, however, one of 5 NFL teams to have 2 Pro Bowl QBs on the roster 😘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Nagy is still technically calling the shots with play selection he's got guys in there now who have more influence on what those plays will be and who understand the exact type of offense they are trying to run. Helfrich was just a bad fit overall. And like you said the TE position is revamped with two new starters who should be upgrades and they replaced Gabriel with two speedy guys in Mooney and Ginn. Also Long replaced with Ifedi. Those guys should all be upgrades. How many more did you realistically expect them to make in one offseason? The offense still might not be good if your standards of good is within top 10 of the league, but they should be a lot better than last year. If they can at least get to 2018 levels then we could be dancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE is better and probably an actual improvement to NFL average at a minimum. The other guys are hardly improvements, unless Mooney pops. The coaching changes are small moves. This is Nagy’s offense and his play calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that's fine but question...who did you realistically believe they could have signed this past offseason that would have really propelled the offense to be as good as you want them to be?

A starting calibre OLmen to play RG. and/or A starting calibre OLmen to play RT. Mediocre QBs can be supported by above average OL play.

I agree with your last statement but who was out there that was a significant upgrade and that you would have been willing to pay to take over at either of those positions? Conklin, Bulaga, Vaitai, Glasgow, Peat? Those guys all got bank and are they really that much of an upgrade? Let's be real, Bears were not going to pay that considering what they already owed to Massie this season (dead cap $10M). Who knows, maybe Bears like the depth they have in Alex Bars and Lachavious Simmons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhauled TE position, new backup (starter?) at QB, new running scheme and OL coach and brand new offensive coordinator. This is the polar opposite of what is happening on defense.

Bears handed out close to 70 million in guaranteed money this offseason. They were not broke and had money to upgrade the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of that list the only guy I would have doled out the cash for is Conklin. Other than that those other guys aren't worth it IMO. Bulaga is always hurt. Maybe they did upgrade the line. We'll see come week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact, Conklin is making the same amount as Quinn. Edited September 2, 2020 by WindyCity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
