Xmad Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Good hire he got Geno to play pretty good, thinks this means they're learning towards keeping fields since they didn't hire an OC that would benefit Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I can't wait for their offense to become dysfunctional so I can ask "Where's Waldro?" lol 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I guess the Seahawks are allowing this, or is his contract expired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Isn't his offense the same as Getsy's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Its really hard to watch this as an outsider. They're going to do the exact same thing to Williams as they did to Fields. Lame duck coach who most likely gets fired after next season barring a Stroud-like rookie season from Williams and he'll be switching offenses going into his sophomore year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re banking on a Stroud-like season for sure. Defensive minded coach working on the defense, and a young hotshot QB paired with the aspiring OC. honestly if they can find a center and a few more weapons, then Williams or Fields will have plenty of Chance to succeed.

I mean, I'm not 100% certain they do but if I had to guess I'd imagine they go that route. And if they don't that's yet again another OC for Fields. Its a horrible way to develop a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn’t stick with him for the sake of continuity. I wish they’d canned their HC and hired an OC, but Eberflus never lost the locker room. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame duck coach who most likely gets fired after next season barring a Stroud-like rookie season from Williams and he'll be switching offenses going into his sophomore year. You guys say this, but barring an absolute collapse and major regression for the Bears, I have a feeling Eberflus is safe next year as well, unless they decide to stick with Fields and Caleb lights it up next year. He is extremely well regarded by the front office and the locker room and had that defense playing very well. People compare this to Fox and Nagy, and while it's not totally dissimilar, Eberflus is in a better position for a few reasons. First, this team is on an upward swing, not downward like those two coaches were heading into the season they were fired, and the Bears have a ton of draft capital and cap space and will make moves, they do not need to move up to get a guy. Also, Fox and Nagy were fired for, among other things, not doing a good job on their side of the ball that they were supposed to be experts in. Regardless of your view on Chicagos offense, Eberflus has the defense in a very good spot, near the top in most categories after trading for Montez Swear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way or another whether he stays in Chicago or with a new team he's going to have a new OC. What I don't think you realize here is that Waldron employs some of the same concepts/scheme they ran with Getsy aka the Shanny/McVay offense, so if Fields sticks with Bears it's not as if it'd be like he's learning a brand new language On the other hand if they were to move on from Fields and draft Caleb I don't think it's right to assume that this coaching staff will be going into a lame duck season Remember that Poles and Eberflus inherited Fields so I'm assuming if they chose to draft their own guy at QB they'd be given more than 1 more season to turn things around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my guess and hope. I think Atlanta is a likely landing spot, could also see New England if they aren't a fan of the other QBs behind Williams and Maye who are likely going 1&2. Perhaps Pittsburgh as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be completely wrong but everything I saw was that Eberflus was in big trouble and it seemed to be a bit shocking that he kept his job. Hopefully it all works out and Caleb has a similar impact on the Bears that Stroud had on the Texans. No hate for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
