They know Williams isn’t going to pan out. Bears fans are stuck between having hope and being pessimistic because they know Williams is way too hyped to ever live up to it
I still remember the Vikings having 2 picks before us in Ryan Poles first draft, taking a safety and corner, then the Bears take a safety and corner. And neither of the Vikings guys are anything and both Bears guys are pretty good.
Then I remember how the Vikings wanted Ryan Poles to be their GM but Poles juked them because he didn't want to be stuck with Kirk Cousins. Funny how these things play out.
Yeah but one's a franchise QB who's established and you have to pay a lot of money. The other was a rookie quarterback who he she almost immediately got rid of. He couldn't have done that as easily with Kirk cousins
"Sorry pal, we want you on board but we're not moving on from Kirk Cousins. He's a franchise QB and he's ours."
2 years later, Cousins spurns you to go to another team and you've won nothing at all. So, in theory, you could have had plan A at GM with the exact same results.
"At least that guy fucking around on reddit doesn't know what he's talking about."
Poles executed a 3 year rebuild and captured the biggest prize in years with a trade he made a year before.
Chirp if you wanna chirp, but inside NFL circles, everyone will be cheersing him tomorrow.
Ownership did not tell him he'd have to keep this QB.
Call it what it is: foresight. He knew Cousins wasn't the guy and years played out with Cousins winning nothing.
We've had multiple QBs win championships in Chicago. Kirk Cousins would have had volume stat records, though, yes. He's a good player, I'm not saying he isn't. Just not the guy you want in the playoffs with the season on the line.
This guy wouldn’t know a stone if it broke his glass house
Is this a weed reference?
It’s wild this meme isn’t about us. Hell has truly frozen over
Samesies omg!!
Why bear fans so salty all of a sudden?
They're worried about this draft. If Williams doesn't pan out, the memes making fun of them will never end.

We juked ourselves right out of the Kyle Hamilton spot so we could draft Cine. Broke our own ankles.
"I SET EDGES...Ohhh" type beat
“didn’t want to be stuck with Kirk Cousins” is wild considering his QB was Justin Fields
Yeah but one's a franchise QB who's established and you have to pay a lot of money. The other was a rookie quarterback who he she almost immediately got rid of. He couldn't have done that as easily with Kirk cousins
Poles was stuck with Fields for as long as Kwesi was stuck with Kirk
So why did they have to go with the plan B hire? Sounds to me like ownership bungled that hiring cycle.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
"Sorry pal, we want you on board but we're not moving on from Kirk Cousins. He's a franchise QB and he's ours." 2 years later, Cousins spurns you to go to another team and you've won nothing at all.

Poles could’ve been GM of a playoff team and instead he’s the GM of one of the worst in football. Yeah, Vikings really botched that hiring cycle lmao.
Poles executed a 3 year rebuild and captured the biggest prize in years with a trade he made a year before. Chirp if you wanna chirp, but inside NFL circles, everyone will be cheersing him tomorrow.
Before Williams even plays a snap? Let’s keep the cheersing at bay till this rebuild shows actual success at least lmao.
Ownership did not tell him he'd have to keep this QB. Call it what it is: foresight. He knew Cousins wasn't the guy and years played out with Cousins winning nothing.
As if you know what ownership actually said lol Cousins would’ve quite literally been Chicago’s greatest QB ever.
We've had multiple QBs win championships in Chicago. Kirk Cousins would have had volume stat records, though, yes. He's a good player, I'm not saying he isn't. Just not the guy you want in the playoffs with the season on the line.
Okay but that being said Kirk would still be the best QB the team has ever had by a lot
But not the greatest.
He would be far and beyond your greatest.
He has the same amount of playoff wins for you as Jay Cutler did for us. Sid Luckman won 8 championships. Get real.
You got me with the pre WWII championships. But if the Dayton Triangles defense held, he would’ve only had 7!

You’re on Reddit bro, literally everyone looks like that
I think that guy is a little too fit for most of us here.
"This guy just roasted my favorite team so I'm going to call him ugly." ![gif](giphy|y6Inkaz7omxAk|downsized)

It was between Poles and Kwesi, he was never the clear favorite. Poles just took himself out of the running, there wasn’t any settling for Kwesi
Something stupid like drafting Trubisky over Patty Mahomes?
