New espn mock - Bears… Archived Message Posted by MC on January 7, 2025, 10:17:28, in reply to "nfl black monday " 10. Chicago Bears (5-12) Will Campbell, OT/G, LSU* After a humbling season, the Bears' concerns again center around an inconsistent offense. They finished this season with the worst sacks per dropback rate in the NFL (10.3%), so offensive line should be their top priority. Campbell would be a massive boost for a unit that needs multiple new starters. A consistent technician, the 6-foot-6, 323-pound Campbell is a polished blocker who can step in as a Day 1 starter at either tackle or guard and help protect Caleb Williams.

McCarthy is a "settling" candidate - DanSaint January 14, 2025, 20:25:44 i don't think he has a high floor at all* - VIV January 14, 2025, 20:27:38 He has 9-8 or 10-7 written all over him.

You think he would be Fox bad? - MC January 14, 2025, 20:44:44 that's not quite as bad as john fox, but yeah, i think mccarthy would be a bad hire - VIV January 15, 2025, 9:59:56 by high floor I think the Bears would be semi competitive. But wouldn't be in any position to win - DanSaint January 14, 2025, 20:33:24 Yeah I’m with you. McCarthy isn’t a bad coach but he’s not good neither. - MC January 14, 2025, 20:36:26 Was Shaw in person? If not then it’s not satisified - CanHartlebHireSnider January 14, 2025, 20:16:14 That I wasn't sure of.

I’d still rather take the swing on the unknown than McCarthy. * - VIV January 14, 2025, 15:24:03 They were comparing him to Fox on the Score this morning. - AintHatin January 14, 2025, 13:43:14 rodgers said it was clements that developed him, not mccarthy* - VIV January 14, 2025, 13:46:12 It's a fair nit. - AintHatin January 14, 2025, 14:43:04 to me, he's a known quantity. i don't think he's even a top-half-of-the-nfl coach - VIV January 14, 2025, 14:53:33 We know how truthful Rodgers is....* - bjl63 January 14, 2025, 14:05:07 what are the chances they are just interviewing him to get insight into what they can do better/? - IlliniSax05 January 14, 2025, 13:03:29 I think interviewing at Halas Hall means he’s a serious candidate - CanHartlebHireSnider January 14, 2025, 13:06:49 is he the first one in-person?* - VIV January 14, 2025, 12:51:36 No Rivera was in person Sunday.
