Some article excerpts that are concerning. I don't know much about his OC abilities. These stats don't want me to jump up for Joy. Are we just swapping spit here? Ending up where we started? I'm behind anyone they choose but I was hoping for MORE production.
The McVay tree is now well established in the NFL, and Waldron was one of many coaches to have come through the Rams’ system and been successful.
After three years in Seattle, Waldron has been regarded as being a relative success. Although many Seattle fans thought he was part of the problem for the offense taking a step back in 2023. The productivity of the Seahawks and Bears offenses are very similar.
In 2023, the Bears averaged 323.2 yards per game. Under Waldron, the Seahawks were at 322.9. The average points per game metric is also extremely similar, with Seattle averaging 21.4 points and Chicago averaging 21.2.
I do like the fact that the Bears went with an experienced play-caller coach and not some young rookie OC. My take on Waldron is that he will be good if the Bears give him the talent to succeed. He needs to bring in a solid staff on offense too. Without that the offense won't be much here. My first thought was that he hasn't had a top-tier QB to work with yet. If the Bears do draft Caleb it will be interesting to watch what this guy can do with a Tier-1 quarterback versus the guys he's had in the past (definitely b-types of QBs).
The Bears need to build the complete package on offense if they want to stop the failures. The OC is an important piece but only one piece of a more complex entity. Gotta get the QB right, OL right, position coaches right, skill players right... you get the drift. Total package is needed to be right. Bears have never done that in decades here. Time to fix that and go all-in on offense. riczaj01 I think this is what you were talking about a year ago. The defense can take the back seat for a season and let the O ride in the front this year. Let's get this thing (finally) fixed.
Totally with you. Let's see who they think is the right QB. And can't wait to see who they bring in as QB coach, etc. Lot's of change happening on the O side. It's exciting. Hopefully will end up better than our usual overhauls. And hopefully someone was "helping" Flus make his coordinator choices. He missed badly on both last time
The OC process was run by Poles. Few of the guys they interviewed had any appreciable connection to Flus. That was one of the reasons I wanted to can Flus -- he has little pull in the NFL among good OC candidates.

Been saying it since Mtich. Team does not go all in to support their young qb's. Tey'll make 1/2 hearted attempts that get cut short to focus on the def. Draft mitch, next year trade the farm to get a DE for a def that was already good. JF sorry man, you did good enough w/the garbage we're going to fix the def for the def minded HC we brought in to develop you, here's a #1 and a RT though; that should be fine, it worked so well w/Mitch.
It's all the time w/this team; and it's maddening; and obvious when they do it, yet the fans have faith that somehow it will be different. This year pretty much played out like I thought; and it's maddening.
Poles might ask Waldron whether he wants Fields+Harrison or Williams+whatever WR is there at #9.
Most of the analysis I am seeing on the various platforms is this indicates that they will stick with Fields. Obviously, we have to wait a while to know for sure.
That's the solution that would reap the greatest rewards IF they can get better production out of Fields. If they go that route, let's hope they can make it happen. Otherwise we miss a golden opportunity for a QB. God, I'd hate to make this decision.

Honestly with the right QB. AKA Watson instead of Trubisky. We would of won the Super Bowl in 2018. When Mack came in. He did transform that defense into something special.
As much as I love defense games and elite defenses. The modern NFL is a pass first league. This offseason needs to be focus around building Williams a top 10 offense.
Oh, I'm sure that question was beat to death during his interview.
It has certainly been beaten to death around here.
A QB can literally make you one of the worst teams in the league into a playoff team in just one year. Look at Houston.
I would be very sad if this franchise once again blew up a chance of drafting a real passing QB in exchange for a guy who has never had 3k yards per season in 3 years.
