I disagree. In fact, two of the guys he got rid of were Pro Bowl again this year and nearly all the others were starters on other teams, AND every damn one of them was replaced by a Jack-ass who can’t play football as well. You think this was a great idea. We are never going to agree on that. But whether you adore Poles on not, this was the result of HIS decisions. This is HIS creation. He did not have to do this. He DECIDED to do it. This is now a dead horse. Let’s just see what he does with his #1 draft pick and $100 million.
One of those Pro-Bowlers started hot with 7 sacks and then disappeared the 2nd half of the year. He was also unaffordable for a team undertaking a rebuild and had been hurt a good chunk of the prior 2 seasons.
The other was actually ON THE BEARS the first half of 2022, was no longer a scheme fit after switching to a 4-3, wanted more money than his position warranted, and by the way the team went only 3-5 with him on it.
Everyone else was over the hill (Trevathan), a JAG (Nichols), retired (Goldman), or a bust with their new team (Robinson).
None of these guys were foundational pieces for a 2024-25, were they?
Can we please stop with this nonsense now? Enough already--you have no case so move on.
