It's on Poles now to supply that talent.
2023 is a big test to see if Poles has the gears to get this team where it needs to be talent-wise. These stone-hand WRs and OL getting bull rushed like rag dolls - that's not gonna get it done here. Fields can only do so much if the surrounding talent isn't great. Great. Not mediocre guys we "hope" will develop someday. We need legit top-tier talent. I am so tired of watching the Bears slop together a roster on offense with mediocre talent (and worse). I'm so hoping Poles is better than the failed GMs here of the past.

It is especially important due to the fact teams will find a way to shut down what Fields is doing now. Next year this stuff won't fly if the O talent isn't there to support an offense that can pass as well as run. In fact, as THIS season goes on, we may see teams handle Fields better. Even Mitch Trubisky has a good initial year in 2018 in the Nagy offense. But the talent really wasn't there, and teams shut that O down after that. You gotta have talent to sustain a healthy offense over the long haul.
