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.

Josh Allen is playing quarterback on easy mode

We're a Josh Allen podcast. People sometimes get upset about how much we glaze him. I don't think we glaze him enough because he's playing quarterback on easy mode. It looks like that for him. The flick of the wrist, the runs, everything—it all looks like the game is slowed down for him. He's in just total control of the game.

Subjective assessment of Josh Allen's play and dominance.

The Bears will beat the Vikings, but they won't score 59 again

I think the Bears are gonna win. I do not think they're gonna score 59 points. I do think they're gonna win.

The Bears-Vikings result and Chicago's point total will determine this prediction.
