The only reason I'm on the fire Poles wagon is he hasn't done anything to improve the team. There is not one positional unit on this team that doesn't need one player upgraded on it. In fact we seem to be more of a fan of getting rid of players. I'm ok with that as long as you do a great mixture of vets in FA and rookies.
Also the fact if Poles wants to keep Flus here another year. Then Poles needs to go. The coaching staff is a huge problem with this team. We should have a better record than what we have.
Thats simply not true. Nor is it true Poles hasn't done anything to improve the team. Hyperbole doesn't equal facts, no matter how much you want something to be true.
So in your opinion, what positional group is good and doesn't need replacement? I'm not talking about a kicker or punter either.

OL — needs center DL — needs DE, DL LB — marginally adequate, I guess DB — need to replace Jackson, Stevenson IMO RB — nothing needed QB — TBD WR — needs Harrison, jr.
So wait...you mean there are position groups on this team that don't need one player upgraded on them! LOL Thanks!
And Stevenson is a rookie who is playing well. He doesn't need to be replaced. And the thought that our LB core is "marginally adequate" is laughable.

Running back is good, our corners are good, our linebackers are good, I'd even argue our safeties are fine, health is the only issue there. I could make arguments for other groups, but those are more open for opinion.
Also, you're purposely trying to shape the argument around "position GROUPS" and not positions on an individual basis. You know if you did that your argument fails even more miserably than its failing now.

Running backs are manageable. Its a RBBC. Running backs are not hard to find in this day and age.
Corners haven't payed JJ yet and Tyrique Stevenson. I say its set once JJ gets paid.
Safeties both have injury problems and Eddie is on his way out. Hasn't been the same for years.
An individual only makes some impact. When a group is changed. The impact is much greater.
Just like DJ Moore is not enough to help make the offense more explosive. Adding in MHJR would pretty much set up that core group of WR for years to come.
Moore #1 MHJR #2 Mooney #3
Mooney is not a legit #2. More so a #3. This team needs a legit #2. MHJR can be a legit #1.

Butkus, Urlacher, Singletary, Smith. I don’t see anything remotely close. Marginally adequate seems about right. Rarely make turnovers . Often out of position (except Sanborn). Missing tackles sometimes. For all the $$$ Poles paid for E&E, I am underwhelmed. Not living up to Bears tradition at LB.
Mark my words, Stevenson will need to be replaced.

Only RB group is set.
Yep, could of had an elite OT with the money he put towards these LBs. Honestly with the way of the NFL is going. Middle linebackers are a thing of the past. Elite pass rushers and dbs get the money.
RB may be set but its the most easily replaceable one as most NFL teams find replacements their rookie years.

Sanborn is playing better than Edmunds for a LOT less money.
Are you really OK with Stevenson? He can’t cover well enough to be starting CB. Watch him closely these last 6 games. I will. He has 51 PFF grade and 71% completions rate when targeted.

Not at all but I know many here will say he's a rookie and give him time. Just that there are other priorities we need to pour our resources in.
QB WR DE DT Safety (Eddie Jackson replacement) Center/One guard

I guess I’m spoiled as a Seahawks fan seeing Woolen, Witherspoon, and others play very well as rookies. If your defense is weak at one of the CB positions, that’s a priority in the draft or FA. Ramsey, Gilmore, etc. do move in FA. But Poles will stick with Stevenson.
