How are you feeling overall about the 2024 Bears?

Thankfully, Warren has said publicly that he is “impatient” and “Super Bowl” is the goal.  I’m holding him to that standard, too.

Good We like bars. And maybe soon we can make that standard.

If Fields stays, then I would expect a continued improvement, just as 2023 was an improvement over 2022.  But a hard reset with a new offense, coaching staff on offense - and a new rookie QB1 too, may result in a transition year.  We are in essence starting over on offense.  People think Caleb Williams will be Stroud.  That probably won't happen.  I'd be thrilled if it did happen but Stroud was an exception.  Let's face it.  The Bears are usually not a good exception to the rules.  And if Fields is not here, then 2026 becomes the new 2025.  I could be wrong but that's my gut feeling.  We are "starting over" on offense.  Hard resets can reset the clock.

I’m not a jumper yet, but I definitely have concerns about getting qb1 set and done right. I’m soon to be 66 years old, and we have yet to do so. Crazy, but it’s how we roll. My other concern is locking up JJ. We need to get him signed and not FT’d. If we truly change qb1, we don’t need any other distractions for the team and having a contract issue with JJ would certainly be one. A calm and settled locker room will help a new qb immensely.
