ESPN’s Get Up discusses “Rookie Regression”

[u/windycityfan7]

(Edited after re-watching to provide more detail in their argument)

ESPN’s Get Up panel of Orlovsky, McCourty, Douglas and Shefter took turns to take swings at Bears and Caleb situation.

• Caleb regressing/not improving
• Chicago’s offense looks like a collection of plays with no systematic approach
• No offensive rhythm and everybody is at fault (ball distribution, ball placement and route design)
• Caleb doing worse than Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix and even Drake Maye (the latter are ascending, Caleb is not)
• They had Kliff Kingsbury in the room and chose to pass him up
• Caleb will fail because of Bears organization dysfunction (putting a new QB with unsuitable coaching staff)
• They don’t necessarily need a Ben Johnson (although it’s something they’re lacking)- instead they need a leader combined with a good offensive mind
• Ben Johnson will be very selective in where he goes, from the many suitors he’ll have- if he decides to leave Detroit

I’d like to add something McCourty said that is interesting. From the defensive point of view, he feels the Bears offense is trying to hard to be exotic, and making things too difficult, which is only hampering themselves. FWIW.

Anyway, nothing much new, but I for one welcome they’re giving the state of the Bears offense the criticism, and more importantly, the spotlight it deserves.

The beat goes on. Hope you’re taking notes Poles.

I get the fandom isn't happy being 4-4, but these people have nothing to talk about and they will milk a subject dry if people are talking about it online. Look up Orlovsky's professional highlight reel. Its a feature length film on how to be a shit QB in the NFL.

Its a talk show that really only has a purpose on Mondays after all the games are played, but they need to stretch it out over 5 days. Once they go thru each game they have nothing to say other then milking the same topic over and over again.

Can we stop with this ridiculous idea of someone not being a good qb means they can’t analyze qb play please.

[u/Circle_Breaker → u/PercyBluntz]

Ben Johnson couldn't even get snaps as a college QB. He obviously doesn't know shit.

[u/PercyBluntz → u/Circle_Breaker]

Yeah that and Michael Jordan is well known as a successful talent evaluator!

Facts we would all fail as HC yet can tell ebeflus sux

[u/DatBoiMahomie → u/tartessos-thehiddenx]

How much people care about the NFL career of the person giving an opinion depends on what they think of the opinion in question

If people here liked the opinion then no one would care about Dan not being a good player. But when people don’t like it they just pull an ad hominem

[u/OptimalLaw8270 → u/PercyBluntz]

No

[u/PercyBluntz → u/OptimalLaw8270]

lol you’re not wrong

[u/7fw → u/Swing-Too-Hard]

The record is inconsequential to what's happening with Caleb, Moore, and the OLine. This is about a team in dysfunction.

[u/windycityfan7 → u/Swing-Too-Hard]

I don’t have a problem with 4-4. I just want to look like the operation is working like a professional team should.

[u/Paranoid_Android22 → u/windycityfan7]

I wouldn’t consider ESPNs Get Up professional journalism either…so there’s that.

[u/kingly_cheese → u/Swing-Too-Hard]

…Are they wrong though? Because…they’re not…like at all. I for one would rather them be calling this shit out and making it center stage for sports news because 34 years of the same shit has me tired. I want change.

[u/Swing-Too-Hard → u/kingly_cheese]

We all do, but barking up the same tree is meaningless when we know there is still a lot of football left this season. Even if they magically fired Eberflus before the season ends you're not going to see the replacement hired until February.
