Chicago Bears Dismiss Senior Vice President Cliff Stein

Sounds like a grumpy ass to me

I like his input. Be interesting to hear what he has to dish out

I used to really like listening to his input.  But he seems to have become this guy who is "full of himself" in these podcasts like he is some all-knowing dude who knows it all and everyone else is just stupid.  Kind of turns me off the way he is now.  

I saw his takes on JF this year cuz I do peruse WCG.  And he was all over the map.  

He dogged Fields badly early in the year and said he was done here.  Ironically, I wasn't out on Justin yet and felt like A) he deserved the whole season before making any final decisions and B) the team should have fired Getsy early in the yr to give Fields a chance to shine under someone else.

Then, toward the end of the season, Gabriel got all caught up in this "turnaround" that saved Flus's ass.  He oversold how "real" it was and how well Justin had played during that time.  The reality was the defense did make some serious strides but the offense did not.  There was only modest improvement there.  It's not like all of a sudden were throwing for 350 and 3-4 TDs a game.  We ended the year 27th in the NFL in passing offense which is only a little better than last year (31st).

I only note that because I thought Gabriel was wrong twice.  I consider reading him to be purely entertainment only.  He doesn't strike me as connected or incisive.
