At this point, the Bears have a roster that should be playoff ready in 2024. Coaching and QB play will determine how much of a leap they make.

Farewell, JF1. I genuinely wish him the best. That said, this was the right move, by far. #DaBears didn’t need to hitch their wagon to a 10-28 QB who has not thrown for 3,000 yards in a season. Contrary to popular opinion, this was an easy decision.

And, who cares about the return for JF1. At this point, I’m just happy #DaBears actually made the decision to move on. Honestly, I can’t believe they even went through with it. That, in itself of itself, is a victory.

Final thought (for now til tomorrow steam on Sports Talk Chicago): Look at the pointed difference in the way this trade is being perceived and covered… Night and day difference from the situation following the 2020 season. I rest my case. See you all tomorrow!

When Justin Fields struggled to break through, his most passionate backers distributed blame for his erratic play. Still, even the most loyal Fields fanatics can’t dodge the 10,000-pound boulder of inconsistency that chased him out of town. chicagotribune.com/2024/03/16/col…
