Meh I get the intent but signing the OGs at the highest price and coming out with a historically bad D isn't something other teams should do. The Bears took a better route. Older guys but cheaper. Only negative I got there is that they still need to take an OG this year but that 4th is 2026 so it really should be hard for them to make a solid swing before it's a gapping hole again. -
The coach of the Chicago Bears just referenced the turnaround of the Panthers once they invested in guards. He then has just signed 2 high profile guards. How is that not copying the Panthers? I agree that there is not a lot to copy here, but step back. We lost Darnold before investing in the OL. We lost Baker before investing in the OL. We drafted Bryce before successfully investing in the OL. We invest in 2 guards. After a slow start, Bryce ends the season 4-5 and is very close to both Philly and New England. Later, the new coach of the Bears references the Panthers and how they turned it around after signing high profile guards. A week or two later, they announce they signed 2 high profile guards. I think all GMs paid attention to what has happened here. It may not be the sole basis for their decision, but the defense cost us 2024, not the offense. In addition, we did it without our #1 WR, a top TE, and the cupboards were pretty bare at WR. I think they noticed. As you say, Frank, we shall see. -

I was about to say he put up a damn near 40 inch vertical and a 10'3 broad jump, even if he only runs in the 4.6 range the guy belongs in the NFL, not sure he will ever be an elite back but he definitely can contribute
