The Bears are no longer a million pieces away from being a good football team

For the first time in a very long time, I'm optimistic about the Chicago Bears and where they're headed because I think you can build off of what they've done defensively... we're no longer just like a million pieces away. We're a few pieces away from being a good football team.

The Bears showed improvement in late 2023 and had a major 2024 offseason (Caleb Williams), validating the 'few pieces away' sentiment.

Montez Sweat is a better overall player than Chase Young

I agree that Sweat is an impact maker on defense. I told you he was better than Chase Young.

Montez Sweat earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2023 and significantly transformed the Bears' defense, while Chase Young had a more rotational role with the 49ers.

Josh Dobbs should not learn the playbook to be a better quarterback

He maybe should just not learn the playbook because... when he was in Arizona, he had been signed to the Cardinals like two weeks before the season started and played well... maybe it's just learning the playbook is too much.

While comedic, Dobbs was eventually benched by the Vikings after several poor performances once the 'newness' wore off.

If the Bears secure the #1 overall pick, they should trade Justin Fields

If you have the first overall pick, I think the move is probably to try to trade Justin Fields. See what you can get for him. Maybe decide on [his option] and then yeah, see what you can get for him. I think the new coach is gonna probably want to go in a different direction.

The Bears traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March 2024 after deciding to draft Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
