    I've been a big Bears detractor for several years. I have seen the clown show for what it has been. I am beginning to think things are finally turning around for them. At least to be to a competitive level.

    I’m so old I was in 7th grade when the Bears won the Super Bowl. I hope I’m way wrong but I think Caleb is going to be a giant bust.

    Yeah it seems like it is heading in the right direction.  Poles has done a nice job of rebuliding this roster.  But the McCaskey's are still in charge so it's hard to feel too good about them.  They're already fucking up the new stadium plan by trying to get into bed with this awful city again and not own their own stadium.  SMH.

    Of course, everything hinges on the shoulder of one unlikable QB. Hopefully he matures and doesn't allow his dad to become Derek Rose's brother.

    Why on earth would the Bears make an announcement about a new stadium deal today when they're about to draft Caleb Williams tomorrow???  Also, no shot this deal happens....publicly owned and asking for 2 billion from the state.  Why don't they want to own their own stadium?!?!?

    I don't live in IL anymore so what's a few extra dollars on the tax bill when you can have a brand new stadium....that still doesn't have parking....with a roof that nobody really wants...

    But yeah, it is pretty silly.

    Happy Caleb Williams day!

    Excited to see what they do with #9...

    Good luck getting the legislature to approve 2 billion dollars in public financing from the State. There will be a lot of resistance especially from downstate from people who will never go to a Bears game and will not perceive any benefit from building a billionaire a stadium.

    Yeah it's hard to see this one going through.  First that asshole Reinsdorf asking for a billion and now the McCaskey's asking for 2 bill.  They shouldn't get a dollar.  They haven't even paid off the last renovation they did to Soldier Field 25 years ago!  Still like 650M left on that.

    Today is the day!

    If they don't trade out of 9, hoping for either Odunze or Murphy.

    Artists renderings look pretty sweet but a) the Bears should play outdoors and b) no state or municipality should EVER kick in for a stadium. people in Vegas are trying to get something on the ballot to block any public funding for the A's. If it gets on the ballot, I predict John Fisher won't get his sweetheart deal. I'm hoping for the same here in Salt Lake for our new NHL team.

    I don't know what the hell Atlanta was thinking, but I'm glad they f'd up their pick and we got Odunze!!  I mean, that seems to be a historically bad decision.  Bears offense is stacked!!!!

    And given the long history of the Chicago Bears developing young quarterbacks and wide receivers, I am sure this will lead to at least 2 Super Bowl Championships.

    BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    They really need to move to Arlington. That stadium on the lake will never be built and they have already out lived their time at soldier.  It’s time to move on…

    I don’t think they have any intention of building in the city anymore. I think they’re trying to play a game of who blinks first with Arlington Heights.

    Hard Knocks has been pretty good so far.  Caleb looked pretty damn good vs the Bills on Saturday.....that throw on the move to Kmet was sick.

    Yeah, it's been a lot of fun so far.  That throw was damn impressive, as was his little dumpoff to Swift.  This season is going to be fun!
