Ryan Poles delivers talent-rich 53-man roster.

You get the right management, you get the right players. Still a work in progress, but this is why I say the management is more important than the players. Great players will still lose with poor management, but great management will be sure that the players are also great. In one case, one hand washes the other, but in the other it does not

Yep, no more excuses for the past two years. Espcially the blown leads from the last season.  But I do think that 'Flus got the message. 

Decades? C'mon. I get that he has improved the roster from a couple years ago but let's not go overboard. The 2018-19 teams were loaded. They were just weighed down by the boat anchor of a QB and some injuries in 2019. Many of Lovie's teams had a lot of great talent as well. I mean they were in the SB at one point. 

I'm excited for this season too, but I want to see this team win some real games before I start singing the praises of this roster. 

Go back to what Longs brother told him after the playoff loss. the team was to soft to have gone anywhere. While the QB was a large problem, I wouldn't say loaded on O which is what is needed to go anywhere in the playoffs. OL was soft, WR's, well you have ARob who when he left for greener pastures wasn't even the #2 option; he wasn't a legit #1. His #'s were inflated b/c he was all Trubisky had to rely on after Gabriel got hurt. Howard was way overrated, never did anything of note outside his first couple years and wasn't exactly a world beater then either fans way over rated him; Shaheen was a joke. Nothing on O was near good enough; and for me that's not revisionist history I said at the time they shouldn't have traded for Mac b/c they needed those picks to build the O up for their young qb and I told people that the SB window wasn't open b/c of that trade.  

All the talent was on Def; and you don't go far w/all the talent on that side of the ball anymore. 

This roster has equal talent on D and the O, lord it's not even close, DJ Moore is what everyone though ARob was, and there was no Allen or Odunze on that roster. There was no Kmet on that roster; and the OL even if not more talented is far more hardened b/c Jenkins is that dude so is Wright. The closest thing you can compare this team to is the merger of Lovie Def's of the 06-10's and Trestman's 14-15 O's w/Forte Marshal/Jeffery/Bennett.
