Chicago Bears fans are usually all over the map with their opinions. One thing, above all else though, is true: they’re typically passionate and convicted opinions.
Whether it was about good Jay or bad Jay (Cutler), Rex Grossman being the reason the Bears lost their Super Bowl 15 years ago or even recently with Mitchell Trubisky’s development, the takes and opinions are always up for debate amongst Bears nation.
Just a few days ago, Bears fans saw one of the boldest takes ever put out on national television.
FOX Sports analyst Nick Wright, known for his outlandish takes at times, gave his season-long predictions for the 2022 NFL campaign. Where did he have the Bears?
For those who didn’t click, Wright has the Bears going 11-6 this upcoming season.
Now, that’s a bold take.
The biggest debate amongst Bears fans and, well, the national media too lately, has been about whether Ryan Poles has done enough to surround Justin Fields with the necessary talent going into Year 2.
One could argue that the Bears have not added enough weapons for Fields, as he seems to have just a couple of number two or three receivers at his disposal with some other low-tier names.
Others could argue that Fields did, indeed, receive enough help this offseason solely based on the scheme change under new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
Then, there’s the thought that Poles is more focused on the 2023 offseason in terms of making big moves. All of this first offseason under Poles has lined the Bears up well for plenty of cap space (over $100 million) and draft capital next year.
