First of all Jones isn't a bad quarterback, but it does show the difference a good O-line, good running game, and good receivers can do for a QB.

I can't see how they keep him another season, let alone think about a contract extension. It just boggles my mind how bad he's gotten after a couple of good initial years since we drafted him. He started to go downhill last year and this year he has absolutely crapped the bed. I don't know if there is currently a worse CB in the entire league. I can't explain why he's gotten this bad. Does he have some un-announced nagging injuries or is his head just messed up? We are seeing a lot of guys regressing but Stevenson has been the worst example.

Burden looks like he might be ready alongside Rome & Zaccheaus if there's a good package for DJ out there.

Keep him upright and making quick and correct decisions and this offense can be at least competent this year. Rome and Burden as the future at WR is looking like it will be awesome. Just clear up the drops, Rome.
It looks like the defense will be a "bend don't break" variety this year. Which given the lack of depth and and impact players, I'm ok with it especially if the offense can be solid.
All said, the Bears look like a competent team yesterday. Something you really could not say at all during Eberflus time. Keep the momentum going against the Raiders.

Gotta give CW his flowers. He played great. Was hoping he could get 2 more yards passing to break 300, but there is always next game.
Yes, the Cowboys Defense is awful, and beating Flus felt great, but a big win is a big win.
Gotta give Stevenson a nod as well. I can't stand him, but the strip/steal/jack/rob/fleece...whatever you want to call...was awesome!
Running game is meh.
Defense is meh (not a great line, busted up secondary)
But with the pass catchers on this team, CW should put up some yards, even if every game is a shoot out (or blow out).

As long as they give him time to throw and don't commit penalties. I don't think we had a single pre-snap penalty yesterday, and only 1 hold (other than on a punt). Such a difference that makes. Was he even sacked?

Conversely, CJ Stroud, who some on here lament we didn't take, is having a very pedestrian season playing behind a poor line and with poor WR's.

Dresden wrote:That final drive by the Bears where they ran the ball something like 10 times in a row was so refreshing to see. They haven't been able to pick up first downs on the ground to save their lives. What a difference it would make if they could do that regularly. Overall, their ypc was still terrible yesterday though. Work in progress I guess.
Outside of the play where he ran backwards and lost 8 yards, Monongai had 24 yards on 4 carries, a good average. I think we'll see more of him.
I don't know what to make of Swift. He makes these electric plays, like the 41 yard screen pass, but overall, his ypc is horrible. He does get hit a lot behind the line, so I can't blame it all on him, and if you keep giving him the ball, he's likely going to break some big ones. But there are also so many 1 and 2 yard carries from him.

If there is a stat for "chunk plays" I bet the Bears are near the top in that category as well. With how poorly they run the ball, it seems like the only way we score points is because we are producing these big pass plays. And honestly, with Ben Johnson calling plays, and the weapons we have, if we can just give Caleb protection, I don't see many teams being able to stop that passing attack.
