Comparing Matt Nagy or trestman to Ben Johnson is insane. Ben has led a top 5 offense for 3 straight years, he’s done the play calling the whole time. Nagy didn’t call plays(and still doesn’t) in KC and trestman wasn’t even an NFL coach.
Why would Ben Johnson leave the Lions top 2 OL and come to the Bears and the best OL Ryan Poles has ever had trash and have the same success? And why would he want to? Bears need a tough experienced head coach that won’t get caught up in the McCaskey lack of embarrassment dysfunction. I have little hope that the McCaskey’s will allow a tough leader to be hired that won’t kiss their ring.
@@JCar0106 you asked why he would leave the lions, that’s why. If you want some tough guy that’s your prerogative, but Andy Reid, Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, Kyle Shanahan, and KOC aren’t hard nosed tough guys either. And they are tops teams in the league most years (McVay and Shanahan get a pass for a tough season). Your thinking is outdated. More young offensive HCs keep coming down the pipe, it’s time to grab one.
@ OK, I can live with your view on pulling in an innovative successful first time offensive play caller as HC even if they have no prior HC experience, using current examples. The difference is the Bears didn’t hire any of them. I think you can respect that watching the last three Bears first time HC hires that fizzled and failed, quickly (Trestman, Nagy, Eberflus) could lead to preferring an experienced coach to bring calm and leadership. Two of those three were “innovative offensive coaches”. So it’s possible the real problem for both of us is the Bears decision making. In which case we’re both still screwed under the McCaskeys. They will pass on the best candidates and hire the next weird choice using a disconnected consultant that George thinks is his cheat code. George needs to stand down. I hope for success but am not going to hold my breath. I’ve watched the Bears for 40 years, and George awkwardness for 12 years. I hope you’re right.
To get the Bears to change and for McCaskey to pay attention, us fans have to stop buying any merchandise, going to the games or even watching them on television. And spreading the boycott on social media. Yes it will suck not being able to watch but that’s one way us fans could influence ownership.
Potsy is a national treasure. I always perk up when I hear him ask questions at the pressers bc he doesn’t give a shit about sugar coating his questions.
Man this was therapeutic. thanks potsy. there is a theory in group psychology that disfunctions will mirror in an organization across hierarchical levels (if a group is showing finger pointing in a session, you can see the same behavior at the board level). the leadership not being leaders, trickles down. the distrust and lack of accountability mirrors across the org. all needs to get fixed.
@@JCar0106 Poles has consistently tried to get cute and find diamonds in the rough on the cheap, at the most important position in the game. Every other position has had some strong draft pick or free agent signing, in three years he’s drafted one legitimate starting lineman, one project, and an embarrassing stream of castoffs and retreads playing out of position. It’s inexcusable to be this bad for this long.
Steve Young made a great point. The ones contending year in and year out have offensive innovators as their HC’s. The Rams, 49ers, Packers, Vikings, Chiefs, Eagles, etc.
@@Bearsssss122 I’m fine looking at him but prefer an experienced HC, what I heard is Johnson may want almost Andy Reid money and has never done the job.
I love Mark. But this is one guy that can ask three different questions within the same overall question before he actually asked the question. To the point where he has to always say, I guess what I'm trying to say is.....lol Even then, I don't think he knows what he's actually trying to say. When I hear him in the press conferences I'm always thinking to myself "spit it out already" Seems very hard for him to get through a clear, precise and understandable sentence. But definitely somebody not afraid to ask the tough question. Great video guys
The irony is that everyone (including me) wanted Ted Phillips gone. So he finally leaves, and they hire the ONE guy (Warren) maybe on earth who wouldn't hire Jim Harbaugh, the year he wins a national championship and becomes available. Harbaugh was the guy to get. That was a guarantee to turn things around. Everyone else we're talking about now is a complete crapshoot.
@@jontelmurphy5996 As Potash says, McCaskey’s don’t know when they are awkward or should be embarrassed. I fear the Bears won’t escape dysfunction until the family is gone.
Poles made several crucial errors: 1) he thought his roster was far more talented and deeper than it was 2) he thought mR gEnErAtiOnAL would cover whatever weaknesses there were on the team 3) drafted a rookie QB and kept the garbage coaching staff 4) fell for the Williams hype mirage Why is potash the only sports media figure to finally point out mR gEnErAtiOnAL made mistakes at the end of the Detroit game? No one else has had the integrity to say it.
@AlYrvan I tried telling everyone that Fields' talents were masking a lot of deficiencies on the offense. I knew mR gEnErAtiOnAL wouldn't be special, but I didn't think the Bears would lose this many games.
Two things can be true at the same time. You can end up being generational in the long run but still struggle in your rookie year. Nobody ever said or expected a rookie qb to play like a seasoned veteran Mahommes or Allen.
@@UR_Right24 every Chicago sports media talking head insisted mR gEnErAtiOnAL was a day one upgrade over Fields. He hasn't been. But none of these Chicago sports media talking heads will admit it.
@UR_Right24 dude. People expect that of these qbs nowadays. Everybody has a 2 year leash. 3 tops. We barely gave out ladt qb one considering what he was going through
Potash is a bit too jaded for my liking. Rightly so. His pessimism is probably accurate, but I think there is more optimism in the situation than he’s giving credit for.
They keep mentioning Toews on this show as a good captain. Oh my leadership group even got mentioned? Wow so they’re really not going to bring up the moment where a young teammate needed the support of a team after being assaulted by a coach and the team mocked and hazed that kid? That vaunted captaincy and vaunted leadership group didn’t mean shit when it actually mattered I won’t demand fans of that wretched organization stop being fans but do not under any circumstance act like they didn’t protect a sexual predator and recommended that predator for a job at a high school all while covering up the assault of multiple players on the team. It’s insulting
It was Blackhawks management that protected the child molester and even gave him a recommendation. I was not in the locker room and neither were you so if you have information on who specifically was hazing that young men please divulge.
@ If you know what players hazed the kid who was sexually assaulted by all means let us know. This is something that people have been wanting to know , and as far as I know no one ever came forward with who the culprits were.
@ I’m gonna reply with this and that’ll be the end of it. Kyle Beach was assaulted and also claimed various unspecified teammates harassed him and called him some homophobic slurs (you know classic hockey culture stuff) which leads me to believe they also heard about the assault. If you want to quibble and say the beloved stars of that team had no idea that such a thing occurred (they’ve certainly stuck to that claim) fine I’m not asking you to stop being a fan. I’m going to believe Kyle beach on this one.
Dunno if I've ever heard such a fiery side out of Potsy before. I always felt that while his writing is serious and real, his work on Twitter was as real as he got. So hearing him really harp on something like team captaincy hits a little differently. Seems like a good dude
As a Lions fan I would advise Bears fans to stay patient for the next 5 years. You should have 2 new coaches and a new quarterback by then. Don’t worry about representing the NFC North. The Lions got your back and they’ll make you proud.
I was at the Vikings game in October 2005 that started the win streak, the week after Mike Brown said "we suck." We won 28-3. My first and probably only trip to Soldier Field (I live in Ca.) Good times! I miss those. This team is beyond suck
Regarding 4:15, the 11-2 Vikings have eight captains, too, and so do many other teams -- search any team name and "captains." I think people are starting to examine every decision this team makes for indications of a 'losing mentality,' and it's getting out of hand.
"McCaskeys don't have an embarrassment gene." LOL. Potash’s comment to George doing a good job is… yikes. And then there’s the board: Virginia McCaskey, George McCaskey, Kevin Warren, Patrick McCaskey, Brian J. McCaskey, Ed McCaskey Jr., and Pat Ryan. That’s five family members including his Mom and one guy on payroll (Warren). Not exactly expecting much negative feedback from that group, lol. Great episode.
Potsie's critique of Caleb's sack in the Vikes game is fair, but the timeout call is a shot. Some weeks back, he was asked several times if he had the authority to call timeouts, and he made it clear that coaches had not given him that authority, which is another failing of the now-former head coach.
When will McCaskey etal figure out that it starts with the O line - Caleb’s talented but without a line he’s an NFL retiree young. This has been the pattern; O sucks, three and out a lot, defense plays 2/3 of game or more. As defensive injuries mount due excessive minutes the O deficiencies become more glaringly apparent and there goes another coach/season etc - sound familiar? Money Bears spend 10:1410:1610:1910:40 for O line is 27th? Tells you where problem might be.
More and more and more Im liking the idea of hiring JOSH MCCOWN. Detroit brought in one of their own with Cambell and the Bears should do the same with McCown.
Why are we all tolerating all the dysfunction and stress from the bears? Enough is enough! Nothing is going to change because the rot is at the top. We're like the person in the relationship who hopes their abusive partner will change for the better one day. News flash to everyone and myself, it's not going to get better. 😔 We need to stop tolerating all the bad behaviors from the Bears and switch teams. I was thinking about switching to the Steelers. They have similar vibes as the Bears, without all the dysfunction. They're an organization who knows how to keep a coach for a long time. If Tomlin retired, the best people for the job would be fighting to become the next Steelers head coach. That's not the case for the Bears. We will never have an amazing, long lasting coach because a person who would be that amazing coach, doesn't want to work for the dysfunctional Bears.
Only 2 sb hcs were oddly enough coaches of teams chocked full of all pros and hofs. Maybe we need to realize the gm and players are more important then coaches
The roster Construction is abysmal. You cannot have a grinding, running cold weather team with a crap offensive line. You cannot run the Tampa two Lovie Smith defense without a dominant defensive line. They’ve got all the flare and none of the guts.
Even though Poles and Eberflus kept saying they leadership and the teams was great! The culture of the last year's team was Justin Fields, he was the team's leader on the field. They trade the culture of the team for 6th round pick! It will take Williams a year or two to possibly develop in that role. That is one of many oversight Poles and Eberflus messed up. The sad thing is the argument was never WIlliams vs Fields... it was Fields and trade the 1st overall pick for a top 3 pick, a 2nd round, 5th round and 1st or 2nd round this year. Imagine a scenario of Justin Fields, Marvin Harrison Jr, Jared Verse and Zach Frazier with more picks versus Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze (Thats 2 more quality young starters than we have now). Ryan Poles is playing checkers!
Just have to remember that Ben Johnson has been able to work with the best o-line in the league the last 2 years. Bears need to fix that or else his scheme won't mean a thing, IF he's hired.
Warren is a politician with very little football knowledge. Poles looked like a whipped puppy in that conference. What has Warren done? Improved food in press box? No stadium! He’s a black version of Ted Phillips. Guarding McCaskeys money
Hoge here the few minutes I watched him with Kmet---------God I could not take Kmets crying, whining and say how it was to hard for Bears players with this change lol. He let Kmet walk all over him.
Bull shit he is a rookie quarterback and this potash guy is blaming Caleb for the Detroit screw up -enough not listening to that that idiot again and he loves himself a little too much
NFL is an overreact league. I’m guilty of it too-primarily because Bear fans have suffered so long. I’m going to see if Caleb takes a big step forward in his second year like other premier QB’s. Bears brass will give him some help in both trenches and Bears will begin growth into a real team. By the way, H&J the best Bears show by far. No other is even close.
Screw the Bears! Move them out of Chicago! What a waste of money supporting this team! They are quite content having a .500 team. Keep the fans hopeful and not have to pay big star players! A joke!
Im beginning to realize our media is as football stupid as the team is. Poles ignores the OL and DL for 3 years but he is a long term thinker and future bears team president? Poles has done enough to keep his job after 3 losing seasons and 3 last place finishes?
If it's true that Poles wanted to fire Eberflus after last year but was overruled, this team is cooked and going nowhere. Might as well just kept Phillips as head of Football Operations.
The two leaders who need more shine are TJ Edward’s and Cole Kmet. There is some selfish players on this team, like JJ and to a point DJ Moore. They brought Keenan Allen to be a leader but he’s in for his next contract. Too many Indians not enough chiefs
Kliff Kingsbury or Brian Flores?!?! Those guys would be the next inline of dumpster fire coaches that the Bears have continued to hire. Did you hear what Tua said about Flores? Do you want that guy anywhere near Caleb?
@@Chitex03 Too late to draft top Oline for next year. Year two or three maybe they will be, maybe. Darnell doesn’t look like it year two. So sign top FA’s could work for next year. Sad.
Dude he’s a rookie he’s gonna learn gonna make mistakes. He’s not gonna come in and be a superstar we thought just yet. We’ve seen it in glimpses. Let’s just chill potsy thought Caleb was gonna come in an have the instincts in game situations of a 5 year vet.
Comical to say Caleb doesn’t have the IT factor. He’s a rookie☠️ in a terribly managed organization that has overcome terrible coaching and a terrible offensive scheme that has 3 receivers running routes in the same area of the field and is putting up great numbers in spite of it. And then acting like if Kliff was here we would be better off ☠️☠️☠️
Leadership is such a nothingburger. The reality is the skill players are so hyped and they're not actually good at football. Some of these guys (and it's not just one) are practically a liability on the field and they're your highly paid "leaders". No one is scared to play the Bears in man coverage and that's not leadership, that's not having enough athleticism. Who cares about C's on chests. Leadership can't turn anyone into a dynamic athlete.
Until Poles stops coveting O-lineman who mirror his own shitty NFL career, our Qb is doomed. Never seen a GM value so many mid to low tier o-lineman. Braxton Jones has NO business being a starting LT any more than Charles Leno did. We repeat the same ishh over and over again. It’s sickening.
Ryan Poles wants to….errrr… The CLAN thinks otherwi$e. Kevin Warren says so… errrr… the CLAN $ay$, I don’t think so, try again. Get rid of Eberflus? Nah, the CLAN doe$n’t want to eat the last two year$ of hi$ contract to upgrade. The owners: Virginia and the CLAN... "they" still make all the important football/business decisions and have the FINAL say... The CLAN is the problem, many players have “checked out” and YOU are still filling their $eat$ AND they appreciate it.
Are any of these reporters going to grow a set of balls and actually ask Warren or Poles what will Poles be doing as the point man and why does the non football guy get to pick the next coach???????????????????????????And not guess at the answer.
When your the newly hired guy at the top of a terrible organization you don't get changed... You change it. Or you just fail and you weren't the right guy, we'll see on warren.
These simple takes sound like hater comments to me bro. You guys are just filling up air time. Show me the same criticism of Phillips and Pace on the same timeline.
I dont want to hear it. Yall blamed a stud young prospect in justin fileds for all the bears problems. Talking about hes slow at progressions and holds the ball. He tried telling yall the coaching was doing this to him. Now the new golden boy has the same issues with a better team. And they look worse. KEEP THE SAME ENERGY. This is on the organization. And its especially in poles. You dont get rid of good players for no reason, you dont get rid of players cause theyre not your guy, and you dont tank. Once you let loosing be ok. Thats your culture..gross
Vince Fangio is so damn over-rated-his bend but dont break defense with the Bears lol. How many times the Bears would score and the other team would score another touchdown very quickly------------------he never shut a team down after the bears scored.
Comparing Matt Nagy or trestman to Ben Johnson is insane. Ben has led a top 5 offense for 3 straight years, he’s done the play calling the whole time. Nagy didn’t call plays(and still doesn’t) in KC and trestman wasn’t even an NFL coach.

The sad thing is the argument was never WIlliams vs Fields... it was Fields and trade the 1st overall pick for a top 3 pick, a 2nd round, 5th round and 1st or 2nd round this year.
Imagine a scenario of Justin Fields, Marvin Harrison Jr, Jared Verse and Zach Frazier with more picks versus Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze
(Thats 2 more quality young starters than we have now). Ryan Poles is playing checkers!
Just have to remember that Ben Johnson has been able to work with the best o-line in the league the last 2 years. Bears need to fix that or else his scheme won't mean a thing, IF he's hired.
I love Potsy rants
Warren is a politician with very little football knowledge. Poles looked like a whipped puppy in that conference. What has Warren done? Improved food in press box? No stadium! He’s a black version of Ted Phillips. Guarding McCaskeys money
It sure seems like it. He’s just another McCaskey puppet in a suit trying to increase revenue for the brand by landing a stadium deal.
This is what happens when you consult DEI people on who to hire
Not captaincy in the NFL. Just captaincy for the bears. A lot of other teams do it right.
Mark Potash looks like an older version of the “running on empty food review” guy lol
The albino looking kid who always wears a suit in the food reviews? Yeah, looks like his dad.
@ 😂😂😂😂yes!
@@dBo420 Lol!!! That kid cracks me up.
Hoge here the few minutes I watched him with Kmet---------God I could not take Kmets crying, whining and say how it was to hard for Bears players with this change lol. He let Kmet walk all over him.
bro goes on infinite tangents
Where was Burrows instinct to avoid getting his knee blown out in year 1?
So basically Caleb Williams doesn’t have a feel for the quarterback position ummm 🧐🤨
I wish Potsey was more emotive!
Bull shit he is a rookie quarterback and this potash guy is blaming Caleb for the Detroit screw up -enough not listening to that that idiot again and he loves himself a little too much
Short sighted take on a rookie QB
Yep, not a rookies job to cover for his HC
NFL is an overreact league. I’m guilty of it too-primarily because Bear fans have suffered so long. I’m going to see if Caleb takes a big step forward in his second year like other premier QB’s. Bears brass will give him some help in both trenches and Bears will begin growth into a real team. By the way, H&J the best Bears show by far. No other is even close.
4:44 if you have eight captains, you have no captain.
Love Potsy but how does he do all that talking without wetting his whistle?? Rant after rant. He’s gotta be thirsty! 😂
Holy run-on sentences, Batman!
Guy talks about following templates of success after clamoring to hire Brian Flores. You can't make this sh!t up. BRUCE ARIANS. That's a winning hire.
Yeah seriously. Has he heard Tua talk about him?
Seems the leaders of this team are the Diva positions. WRs and DBs... not good
MIKE BROWN WAS NO JOKE!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Screw the Bears! Move them out of Chicago! What a waste of money supporting this team! They are quite content having a .500 team. Keep the fans hopeful and not have to pay big star players! A joke!
Im beginning to realize our media is as football stupid as the team is.
Poles ignores the OL and DL for 3 years but he is a long term thinker and future bears team president? Poles has done enough to keep his job after 3 losing seasons and 3 last place finishes?
If it's true that Poles wanted to fire Eberflus after last year but was overruled, this team is cooked and going nowhere. Might as well just kept Phillips as head of Football Operations.

The two leaders who need more shine are TJ Edward’s and Cole Kmet. There is some selfish players on this team, like JJ and to a point DJ Moore. They brought Keenan Allen to be a leader but he’s in for his next contract. Too many Indians not enough chiefs
Poles has not protected one Qb on the field. He needs to go
8 captains is like a participation trophy. Not worth anything!
Kliff Kingsbury or Brian Flores?!?! Those guys would be the next inline of dumpster fire coaches that the Bears have continued to hire. Did you hear what Tua said about Flores? Do you want that guy anywhere near Caleb?
Get out of that zone base defense, that's one of the problems.
I'm very worried we gonna have to wait til next season for a W... that's a long time to stew over a long losing streak... SMH
No super chats?
It was a premiere not a livestream
What's Ben Johnson going to do when he doesn't have a top Oline
Draft OLmen, sign FA’s and fix it.
@@Chitex03 Too late to draft top Oline for next year. Year two or three maybe they will be, maybe. Darnell doesn’t look like it year two. So sign top FA’s could work for next year. Sad.
Dude he’s a rookie he’s gonna learn gonna make mistakes. He’s not gonna come in and be a superstar we thought just yet. We’ve seen it in glimpses. Let’s just chill potsy thought Caleb was gonna come in an have the instincts in game situations of a 5 year vet.
Comical to say Caleb doesn’t have the IT factor. He’s a rookie☠️ in a terribly managed organization that has overcome terrible coaching and a terrible offensive scheme that has 3 receivers running routes in the same area of the field and is putting up great numbers in spite of it. And then acting like if Kliff was here we would be better off ☠️☠️☠️
Time to put potash to pasture
who cares about what Chris Morgan thinks.....🙄🙄🙄
Leadership is such a nothingburger. The reality is the skill players are so hyped and they're not actually good at football. Some of these guys (and it's not just one) are practically a liability on the field and they're your highly paid "leaders".
No one is scared to play the Bears in man coverage and that's not leadership, that's not having enough athleticism. Who cares about C's on chests. Leadership can't turn anyone into a dynamic athlete.
Until Poles stops coveting O-lineman who mirror his own shitty NFL career, our Qb is doomed. Never seen a GM value so many mid to low tier o-lineman. Braxton Jones has NO business being a starting LT any more than Charles Leno did. We repeat the same ishh over and over again. It’s sickening.
Sell the team and clean house. The problem has been and will continue to be from the top down
Ryan Poles wants to….errrr… The CLAN thinks otherwi$e. Kevin Warren says so… errrr… the CLAN $ay$, I don’t think so, try again. Get rid of Eberflus? Nah, the CLAN doe$n’t want to eat the last two year$ of hi$ contract to upgrade.
The owners: Virginia and the CLAN... "they" still make all the important football/business decisions and have the FINAL say... The CLAN is the problem, many players have “checked out” and YOU are still filling their $eat$ AND they appreciate it.
How depressing is that our teams are run so poorly that we actually root for their passings. Until Jerry and Virginia pass, nothing changes.
We have crappy coaching and a terrible team
Who else sees the problem with today’s right ham?
Potash needs to take a breath, Jesus he rambles.🙄
Are any of these reporters going to grow a set of balls and actually ask Warren or Poles what will Poles be doing as the point man and why does the non football guy get to pick the next coach???????????????????????????And not guess at the answer.
Who cares about a captain 😂😂
When your the newly hired guy at the top of a terrible organization you don't get changed... You change it. Or you just fail and you weren't the right guy, we'll see on warren.
Wow, mark blabbered for 41 of the 43 mins and really said nothing. GG.
Potsy is me. An older disgruntled fan who has zero faith in the Bears doing anything right.
These simple takes sound like hater comments to me bro. You guys are just filling up air time. Show me the same criticism of Phillips and Pace on the same timeline.
I dont want to hear it. Yall blamed a stud young prospect in justin fileds for all the bears problems. Talking about hes slow at progressions and holds the ball. He tried telling yall the coaching was doing this to him. Now the new golden boy has the same issues with a better team. And they look worse. KEEP THE SAME ENERGY. This is on the organization. And its especially in poles. You dont get rid of good players for no reason, you dont get rid of players cause theyre not your guy, and you dont tank. Once you let loosing be ok. Thats your culture..gross
Vince Fangio is so damn over-rated-his bend but dont break defense with the Bears lol. How many times the Bears would score and the other team would score another touchdown very quickly------------------he never shut a team down after the bears scored.
FIRE POLES HE MESSED THIS TEAM UP I HOPE HE QUITS HE BUILT THIS TEAM BACKWARDS AND HE DONT KNOW HOW TO DRAFT
