It is an interesting take on Yannick Ngakoue. They are not saying he's a bust as a pass rusher. They say that he doesn't really help this particular Bears D enough (enough) to make a real difference - and we should trade him to a contender who COULD use him. They point out the the Vikings did this one year with him.

I think only Yannick can help himself to be worthy of a team to trade for him. No teams were lined up to sign him before we did. So unless he plays lights out soon, he would be another Bear not worthy of a ham sandwich.

It’s not just Ngakoue. All of the DL that Poles brought in suck at pass rushing. I have little confidence in Gordon or Stevenson at CB. Both were second round picks. Edwards and Edmunds have not been the game-changing, play-making impact players advertised. Look at the Packers game, for example. It’s their job to tackle Aaron Jones, but they were out of position. Nate Davis has contributed nothing. If Jenkins can’t ever stay healthy more than two weeks at a time, he’s a bust. For me, the only Poles acquisitions who have been pleasant surprises, are Jack Sanborn and Braxton Jones. Most of the rest have been “meh” or worse.
Yannick has been a MAJOR disappointment so far. He fails to put pressure on the QB week after week.
There's a reason why he was still available in August despite having 8+ sacks for 6 straight seasons. We talked about it at the time.
He's a pass rush specialist mostly for 2nd & long/3rd & long, etc. If teams saw him as a 3-down DE, no way he would have still be on the open market that long.
Bears have nothing at Edge beyond him. Poles' boy, DomRob, has been on a milk carton for over a year. The FAs they brought in have sucked.
This may be one of the worst pass rush defenses in NFL history if things continue. We are on pace for 6 total sacks.
