How are you feeling overall about the 2024 Bears?

Ok not trying to troll but just give you some realism.   Please note I am high on the bears given their nucleus and cap space. I am higher on them in the future than the Vikings.  But...
Don't you think you should be ranked behind two teams that made it deep into the playoffs(divisional round and NFCCG)?
It appears the Bears are going to move on from Fields.  So they will have a rookie QB this season.  There is NO guarantees he will light it up his rookie year.   And very few first rounders/rookies propel their team into the playoffs year one.   Can you win the division next year?  Yes.   But things have to fall into place and projections don't take that into account.  I like the future for the Bears but don't let the numbers 1 and 9 set unreasonable expectations.

If Williams is the real deal...   The Bears will be in cheat code mode.   Meaning you have a good performing quarterback with a cheap contract and can build a powerhouse around him.   It is the super bowl cheat code.   While I do think you have a higher ability to hit on a QB that sits a few years, you lose access to that SB cheat code.   GB for instance will have to give Love 50 mil/year after May 1st.

What is crazy is that next year (2025) we have literally zero high impact FAs on our team, no big contracts to give.
So we NEED to take advantage of 2024 and 2025, and get mighty close to a contender.

I see 2024 as the year the team gets a lot better as far as players and coaching staff.  But that might not translate into a great change in wins or even much change in our final NFCN finish this year.  It could.  I just think the team probably won't get bigtime traction until 2025 and 2026.  Yeah, 2024 is the year to let all of these young people and new coaches get settled in together - could be a massive upgrade this year but it might not translate to a first year division title - I'd be shocked if it did.
