Halas Hall is not good right now. Described as "shaken"

Yeah well that isn't how the rest of the league does it anymore.  Packers had success with Rodgers that way and I'm sure they believe they will again with Love.  I doubt Love will be anywhere near the level of Favre or Rodgers.  He had one decent game against a D that didn't pressure him in the least and he wasn't good at all in the first half or it would have been a blowout by halftime (he was sub-50% completion rate a big chunk of the game).

I wouldn't be buying any Love jerseys yet.  

1.  Both of us (all of us) desperately hope that Fields is the guy and he proves that this year.  That he does enough to prove he is a good QB who has a good passing game.  In other words this make or break season is "make" and he's a proven commodity now.  None of us expect him to be a great passer this year but just SHOW that he has that component to his game.  But if not then there are two possible paths forward, maybe even three:

2.  One path is that Fields has failed but the coaching staff (Eberflus et. al.) are worth retaining but the QB needs to go.  In this scenario I would want the franchise to commit to building a solid OL for the new QB and have that in place for the 2024 season and the debut of a new QB.  If they can do that AND still acquire a solid QB (draft or buy a vet) then fine, do it.  They would have to do the riczaj01 plan to satisfy me though.  None of this drafting defense until that OL and the WR unit is solid.  I really don't care if 2024 is a season of teams laying 50-burgers on us every gameday.  Get the Offense fixed and then worry about the defense.  

3.  If the Bears can't fix the offensive line (I don't know why they couldn't, but if) then don't pursue a QB until you do.  Otherwise it's just a wasted pick on a kid coming here to fail like the others who have failed.  

4.  If the coaching staff - by the end of this season - has totally failed (Eberflus-level fail) then bring in a HC who is skilled at offense and let him pick his QB... bring 'em both on board the same year... but again, the franchise needs to have a plan in place to truly fix the OL for the new QB... so day-1 that kid (or vet) has a fighting chance to flourish here.  It may turn out that Eberflus is good but Getsy is the failed part... then bring in a new OC.  

But the bottom-line for me is that the franchise needs to fix the offense (coaches and players) so that a new QB can (finally) succeed here.  It really isn't complicated... I would think anyway.  Just cycling through dozens of QBs but not fixing the offense (coaches and players) just has not worked.  It has not worked.  It has not worked.  Let's try something different now.  Let's build a solid offense (not perfect but better than the crap we're seeing) and let a new QB develop in that kind of environment - with the coaches and players at a high enough level that success is at least possible.

On a side note.  I have zero doubt that if the Bears had drafted Patrick Mahomes instead of Trubisky, he would have failed here.  It has been a poisoned environment for QBs.  Let's change that.  

The Cutler years, other than that, you are correct. 

Boom... that is "it" in a nutshell.  Yet Bears fans still want buy the lottery ticket and skip gleefully out of the store waving it in the air - announcing they've won.  LOL.  The McCaskeys love it.  Toss us a draft pick QB every so many years to quiet the pissed fans (who now have their lottery ticket QB) and "The Family" laughs all the way to the bank.  We rubes buy the new QBs jersey and keep buying all the merch, and the stadium is sold out... hey it's quite a successful snake oil show.  Wouldn't you think Bears fans - of all people - would see through it?  It is the "cycle of failure" that goes on for generations.  And it's a scam that works.  Works damned well too.  We are so clueless but buy the lottery tix anyway.  But I've come to believe that success is not luck or a lotto ticket but rather putting the infrastructure in place where a QB can succeed here.  I'm fine if Bears fans believe otherwise.  But how's that working out for them?  For that matter, how did that work out during their dad's generation, or grandfathers?  It didn't.
