  5. Don’t care for Kaplan or most of the Chicago sports media that much but as a Bears fan, I honestly believe that we will be better this season because we got the quarterback and the head coach. Ben Johnson, unlike Matt Nagy, has a hardcore mentality and specifically stated that “we’re tearing this shit down and starting over from scratch.” We thought we did something after the 2018 season and was garbage in 2019 and shouldn’t have made the playoffs in 2020. Because of Ben Johnson’s mentality, this season so going to be different. I don’t believe he’s going into this season charged up like he did last season but I do believe when we win a certain amount of games he’ll bring back that energy. BEAR DOWN!

  6. The first billion contract will be baseball. In the NFL after the recent contracts of QB guarantee money that didn’t work out long term don’t think most owners will pay that much money unless it’s a Super Bowl winning QB.

  10. Played sports. Love sports but I swear that men that watch and listen; specifically to sports radio, have given up on making women climax. Especially with how bad sports talk generally is in Chicago.

  11. If it ever gets to a point where the contracts are going to be a quarterback is going to make 100 million a year then the best quarterbacks in the league their teams are going to be garbage and they'll never go deep into playoffs that's a fact

  14. No. The QB missed passes is still a problem. Ben Johnson need to stop his QB from throwing off his back foot. The Bears are one of the top teams in 3 and out. Their defense is ranked 25. Their offense is not that much better.

  15. Are the Bears better? Such a dumb question. Of course they are, especially after the draft. They are better because the QB will be much better, as will his receivers. And the defense will be better because it is faster and younger.

  17. No Garrett, Peppers great examples, Clowney…. No, no, no, no, no sir, his name does not get mentioned with their names. Mack, Von Miller, White, but Clowney, no Sir. There is some BS floating around this draft. Bains arms are to short? So what he can Ball, Freeny had short arms, and was short, he could ball. If you can ball, you can ball. Peter Woods is to small, most of the best DT’s in history have been “to small”. It’s not the 2011 class, but it’s a little like it. You had LB’s who were super athletic getting moved to edge, had DT’s like Jurell Casey getting dogged for his size, All pro and 5x pro bowler, yeah he was under sized, also pretty damn good. They dogging Proctor, 6.7’ 350. Oh he’s to big, yeah Jason Peters was to big, going in the HOF, but to big. Proctors body mass composition is outstanding for his size. He’s not Stringer, that young man is built like a brick wall. Look at his arms and his legs, his stomach is half the size of Stringer. He carry’s his writ incredibly well. There is a reason Reid likes him. No there is no Von Miller, or Watt, but you do Have a Kerrigan type, and a Heyward type, and Casey, and a Quinn, and a Dareus, maybe a Houston, a Safety who is comparable at safety to what Peterson was at CB. There are some player.
