Best GM I’ve ever seen in my lifetime as a Bears fan
Definitely thought they would of traded that 9th pick to get a 1st next year from a team knowing that QB'S were what teams wanted around that time!
💯
@user-xr9li2sz6lbro what 😂 they’re building for their rookie QB. Yes they need help on dline but helping Williams is much more ideal for this season. saying dj Keenan and odunze can’t stretch the field is laughable you’re just a troll or don’t know ball
Yeah
@user-xr9li2sz6lyou’d prolly say the same thing that we needed a wr3 if we took a d lineman😂pipe down we on the come up, it’s a process lol
New era of Bear football has begun.
It started 2 years ago when Poles took over.
Heard this a million times 😂
This new qb will be a bust just like fields.
@@tjn2254how can you tell the future?
@@jessefay4984no more a million one for you!😂😂
Poles - thank you. You and your team know what the hell you are doing.
Shut up 🤡 @user-xr9li2sz6l
@user-xr9li2sz6lyou're wrong but okay
everyone needs to remember no GM bats 1.000. plenty of examples of great GMs making bad moves out there. Trey Lance Jalen Reagor just to add
@zacharyhilbourn8660 Its so stupid to grade pick BEFORE they even played a single down in the NFL...When are they going to stop doing this ? Don't they remember Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Johnny Manziel, Sam Bradford, All were giving A grade and all were busts....When do they ever learn ?
Really?
What this man has done in 2 years is extraordinary
Bear down
BEAR DOWN!
@user-xr9li2sz6l Yeah but Mahomes having weapons at the start of his career helped him develop into a player who could get it done without them.
@user-xr9li2sz6lI agree with you
I never thought they’d draft rome
Huge need at DL and OL and thus needs to be addressed v soon
Otherwise we are a wild card playoff team and next year we address it for the long term
In due time !!! In due time
Defense def gotta be looked at
Proof our Gm is gold, get the offense built and now he can find a edge via draft, cuts, or trade like he did with Sweat. I have faith in Poles and love what he's doing.
If Williams works out to be the guy, all we really need is to build the trenches, but the question is IS WILLIAMS THE GUY? that is all that matters
Bro we need a defensive tackle not an edge.
@@KevoCubbies3747it’s Poles jobs to take that chance and make the swing. Love Justin but he can’t read defenses efficiently enough
@@robBears96 i agree...in that respect Williams already hs him beat by a mile. I hust want Williams to be the guy, if he isnt then everything else were dping hardly matters
@@natevart4156 you're not wrong but I think they are betting Gervon takes a leap as we saw him improve over the season.
“Those days are over”….well said King Poles!!
Felt that. He meant it too
Loved that " History" commentary: I am sending Ryan Poles a christmas card this year! He's got it. Bears are finally guided by intelligence.
Ryan did the obvious thing and drafted the two best players available. This is new for this franchise, thanks Ryan Poles from this longtime Bears fan.
This is the best ive felt after a first round of the draft in my lifetime as a bears fan
Best WR Group in the NFL!
Naw
San Francisco or the Bears.
Niners, dolphins, Bengals are better
@@jessefay4984 Brandon aiyuk might declare a trade out of San Fran and Tee Higgins declared a trade. So I wouldn’t say that
Niners, Dolphins and Bengals only have two stud WRs...Bears have 3 now.
In Poles we trust. A+
S grade
Can we put Lovie Smith in the ring of Honor at the new stadium… at a Bear minimum
The amount of actual things that Lovie did for this organization is actually insane.
University of Illinois would disagree. Good but not great coach
@@richcalhoun6050 brother, would you like a history lesson, as it relates to this great day of triumph?
They are talking about the hail Mary pass dudes
@@richcalhoun6050He was a great coach for the Bears, that’s all that matters
Best Bears GM since Jim Finks (The guy who drafted 21 of the 22 starters of the 85 Bears).
2 generational talents in one draft, Ryan Poles you are ridiculous. Best Gm of my lifetime
So now Rome is generational, too, even tho he was the 3rd receiver off the board?
@@jessefay4984 He, MHJ, and Nabers were all considered generational WR talents. Same tier of WR.
@@thomasanastos2815no, the only one that was considered generational was Marvin Harrison and the next tier was Malik and rome
2 Blue chip players imo. Offense is strong now and everyone that’s lined up needs attention.
@@thomasanastos2815 why are you making stuff up?
I'm 27, born and raised in Chicago and I can say this is the first time I've witnessed a GM actually care so even if it doesn't work with him right away or on the first go round, I still respect it, he understands what the fans want and that's to just win consistently and show you're actively trying to fix the problem, all a GM can do is put the tools out there and the rest is up to the coaches and players, it's a breath of fresh air in this city unlike all our franchises except for the Blackhawks
To remind ourselves we actually had Phil Emery & Ryan Pace before this man 😭
I totally agree 100%.... and I'm a fan in hawaii, I feel he puts us in better situations every year he's been with us to put a solid team out there, now it's up to eberflus to do his job now
@@kevinb6745and to ads, Pace is now in Atlanta in the process of running that franchise into the ground. Penix at 8?
@@kevinb6745 try not to think about those times man lmfaooo
huh? blackhawks have a ton of draft picks and just got a generational talent in bedard and are slotted for another top 5 pick. Sox are the only ones who are embarassing to this city tbh
Poles on the same page as most fans when he says “history is the history I’m done talking about it”. That includes the 85 Bears as great as they were that was a long time ago. Time to make new history and win.
4:35 "I feel like we got to stop going back all the time." Hear, hear! I love seeing this change.
Can I just spend a few moments to really remember where this all started…it started when the Bears hired Ryan Poles. He has been exactly what we needed and has outdone himself once again…
What an excellent hire that was
Its so stupid to grade pick BEFORE they even played a single down in the NFL...When are they going to stop doing this ? Don't they remember Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Johnny Manziel, Sam Bradford, All were giving A grade and all were busts....When do they ever learn ?
@mikelasjo6507 there's a lot of guys graded at an A that are hall of famers too. Nobody said they're perfect grades they're predictions.
They better have a statue of Ryan Poles in that new stadium they're building 😭💯
@user-xr9li2sz6lshut up bot
wouldnt doubt it with how long chicago construction takes
@user-xr9li2sz6l Shut up troll this is a new Chicago Bears football not the old.
@user-xr9li2sz6l- idiotic take
@user-xr9li2sz6lshut up
Ryan Poles cleaned up Ryan Pace's mess to build his own Era
Amen to that! He is the exact opposite of Ryan Pace, who had no idea what to do.
Ryan got mad talkin about the past and change. Ya love to see it! 🔥🐻⬇️
Poles from every Chicago bears fan thank you
@user-xr9li2sz6lHow many times are you going to copy and paste that? Get over it. Bears always go defense. In case you haven't noticed, they haven't had an offense in forever.
You’re not every Bears fan. Only speak for yourself.
@user-xr9li2sz6lbro you're under everyone's comments, why even be a bears fan when you're gonna bitch about anything positive the team does? The defense isn't trash, if anything its refreshing asf to see a gm make offense a top priority
You really haven't been a bear fan long lmao trump fan I'm guessing 😂😂😂😂
@@DavisM0023 okay Scrooge, yeah mediocrity is better lmao
Cowboys fan here.... I'm pulling for this GM. I hope he hits it out of the park!
He already has. More work to do though.
Appreciate it, much love to u
Thank you
GB fan here. When's the last time either of you won a bowl?
@@jessefay4984does it matter? Go away focus on your team
As a 47 year old Bears guy. When we win our 1st ring since 85, Mr. Poles deserves a lifetime contract! We are blessed to have this man at the helm, and are on our path to taking back the North.
We Up Bear Don
3 legit wr 1s sheesh nasty
Finally a GM
SOOOO Happy with the two picks. Just seeing how Rome and Caleb have been hanging out prior to the draft and to be able to get them both is amazing. Its obvious those two have already started to build that friendship and bond and now with both able to come to this team together is amazing. The thought of Rome being able to learn with Keenen and DJ and not have that pressure of being the only one. The weapons on offense is so exciting! I cannot wait for football. In Poles we trust! Great JOB Poles!
@user-xr9li2sz6ltroll harder. You don’t know ball
Rome was built in a day today. All hail Emperor Poles.
Gotta respect him for saying what everyone else was scared to say let the past go stop bringing up the history 🫡 of course history is history but this is the present 💯
Def one the best GM s I’ve seen that I love as a BEAR! KING RYAN POLES🤴🏿
Very impressed with Pole’s poise and articulation. That trade he made with the Carolina Panthers last year was the single best move made by any Bears GM since I became a Bears fan in 1965.
Finally a Gm who knows what he is doing! 🐻 down!
Poles' face when asked about the Falcons pick 🤦🏾♂️😂
That person cracking up in the background had me dying 😂🤣💀
I’m so excited for this Bears future Ryan Poles is an awesome GM!
His exhaustion at the questions of the bears failing qbs or failing to get it right there gives me more hope than any of the moves hes done. because he doesnt sound exhausted from anything else. "Those days are over." so emphatically.
We have officially entered the bear head era of chicago football.
Poles and the Bears front office did a great job in the off-season acquiring free agents, and in the first round of the draft so far. This should be a fun season.
RYAN I LOVE YOU (no diddy) I LOVE YOU RYAN🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 WHAT A MAN❤
I love you Ryan Poles give him keys to the city and have him pay no taxes towards the new stadium
Why would poles be on the line for any portion of the new stadium taxes
Thanks King RP! we now have a 'video game' offense.
I see an Executive of the Year award coming to Poles in the next few years 🏆.
Bro has been cookin since he's gotten here 👨🏽🍳. Caught some luck in there too. We're on the right track, for sure! 👊🏽🐻⬇️
ᵀʰᵃⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ ᴸᵒᵛᶦᵉ, ᵃˡˢᵒ.
Ryan Poles is going to etch his name as one of the best GMs in history. Transparent, transformative, and very well respected
This guy is the best GM I've seen in Chicago in my whole life. We are so fortunate to have Poles as our leader!
Ryan Poles is the reason I trust the CW pick. The expectations have risen and I expect great things. Playoffs are the bar for the 2024-2025 season
Poles cooking!! Yes, Chef!!!
I have been a Chicago Bears Fan since 1975 almost 50 years and i haven't been this excited since the Chicago Bears had a that historical draft class in 1983 it's a new day and a new era for the Chicago Bears.BEAR DOWN 🐻🐻🐻🐻
BEAR DOWN!
Honestly the GOAT of the Bears is Ryan Poles...he could go down in Bears History as the best member of the team!!! Bear Down!!! I am feeling so proud to be a Bear Fan!!!
Thank you Ryan Poles. I know Chicago fans are a rough bunch at times and many of us don’t deserve you, but you are the hero we desperately needed to right the ship. Best I’ve felt about the bears after nearly 30 years of being a fan 🫡
He done his job, now it's up too the coaching staff to get them prepared and have a great game plan
“Ian had to hold me back for trading up for him” 😂
Thank you KING RYAN POLES
I love that. All these bozo reporters always bringing up history. That ain’t poles’s history. He didn’t draft Mitch or Fields or Grossman or trade for Jay cutler and give him a different coordinator every year. It’s time to write a new history. The new bears that are monsters on offense instead of Defense. We ride with poles 🐻⬇️
why not both sides of the ball?
@@bosshogg8447 I’m down for both but I’m just ready for a 21st century offense
Chicago fb reporters are the worst
@@toxickingchristian2645Both sides of the ball are monsters now. But we finally have an offense that potentially can be top 3 in the NFL… The defense will be great. It’s about to get crazy
BIG FSCTS!!! ., media do that with all these sports teams! Like come on half the guys weren’t born during these “ history” teams … HATE IT
As a Lions fan, its time to prove everyone including me wrong. If WE of all teams can do it, then you should too. Lets make the NFC North the best.
I love Poles like he’s in my immediate family.
Excellent point on leadership and professionalism - players always know, meaning that he makes decisions based not only on what he wants to do or what he feels best but he also understands that the players are watching and that he has a responsibility to be their best Advocates through it all
Players also lie to protect their friends and give "professional" answers.
Our new QB hasn't proven himself to be professional in the least. Our QB invented his own version of the Lambeau Leap.... except it was into his mom's arms while he sobbed after a loss. Get ready for that meme come GB week during the season.
Dude has A LOT to prove.
Comprehension as a skill. The quote "players know" was from the video and Ryan Poles was referring to the fact that "players know" when a coach or GM is being a hypocrite, keeping players who don't deserve to be on the roster simply because they are favorites.
"Players know" was his admonishment to always do the roster the best service you can by not keeping players who don't deserve to be on the roster.
You're a fool and a half if you don't believe that man is tougher than YOU, sobbing in his mama's arms for sure, but you could never endure what it takes to do what he does on the field.
He suffered many losses and didn't cry, that was a game they meant more to him for some reason .
I played sports and many players cried after losses, if you played sports I guarantee you've seen players cry too, even in the pros.
If that's the best you got you should just stop
Best decision George has ever made is hiring Ryan Poles. ❤❤❤
Trust in Poles. You're the man!
Thank you Ryan poles
That reporter that asked Poles that question about Justin should be arrested
Right? Was looking for this comment. Dude was just looking to stir the pot
😂😂 locked up instantly man.
As I thought, bears fans are nazis.
JF1 we rooting for you! Bears fan for life baby! Ale why should he be arrested? JF1 should be here smh...
We thank Lovie for taking us to a superbowl, and then setting this all in motion! 😅
Finally a GM that knows how to build around a QB. I wish Justin would’ve gotten the same treatment coming in. But whatever C-Dub time!
Best GM in bears history! Can’t wait for this season
Jim Finks is the best
Insane draft with Bears getting two really impressive young men. Futures Bright for Bears. NFL defenses are going to face a juggernaut 🐻⬇️
@user-xr9li2sz6l Are you high? This draft was VERY offensive heavy, but a steep drop off of talent after 3rd round. This wasnt the draft to hit up defense, next year will be. DJ is here for 2 years, Allen for at least one, maybe 2 if extended correctly. Eventually, we would NEED to draft a receiver to be #1 right away. This way, Odunze isnt asked to take the heat of a WR1 and can contribute right away while still learning the NFL game.
@user-xr9li2sz6l this a really foolish take and don’t see how you can be so negative on a great day. Fix your attitude and be better. You’re not involved in football in any way. Ryan Poles is crushing it.
Its so stupid to grade pick BEFORE they even played a single down in the NFL...When are they going to stop doing this ? Don't they remember Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Johnny Manziel, Sam Bradford, All were giving A grade and all were busts....When do they ever learn ?
@user-xr9li2sz6lgo cry somewhere else the second round pick wasn’t wasted and for once the bears are prioritizing their rookie quarterback instead of their defense. The Bears of old make the move that you’re suggesting. No longer.
Great job RP!!
KING RYAN! Thank you!
Finally.. A team with 3 truck #1 wide receivers..would have been great for Justin as well, but excited to watch Caleb come to life and grow.
Well done!
Best draft in Bears history. Time t; be excited Chicago. Let’s go!
Ryan Poles YOU ARE THE MAN!! Thank you Thank you and Thank you AGAIN!
Best GM in the league 🐻⬇️
"The history is the history" "those days are over"-Poles 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
You guys have a stud GM, must be nice!
👑 Poles!!!
Thank you Ryan 🥳🥳🥳
As a Chicago transplant from Atlanta, love his shoutout to advice from Matt Ryan :)
Ryan Poles is the best general manager within the Chicago sports market right now that ain't even a damn question anymore he's extremely calculated and has a vison which he seeks to execute
Love this he handled the history question. Leave that shit in the past. Remember the good times and be excited for this new chapter!
Love the job Ryan is doing wow on paper this roster looks amazing let's see what happens
Best first round in a long time. Also love the fact they have got reps in with DJ , and Allen before the draft
Ryan poles is HIM! Im tired of the rest of the nfl laughing at us, im ready for this to be the year we change the narrative on how we develop QBs
Playoffs here we come 🔥
Best GM I’ve witnessed since birth
Keep it up!
Love that this guy isn't just a yes man collecting another Bears paycheck.
He's not trying to save his job,
He's not swayed by any chatter.
Just doing what is right.
Go bears!
Clutch is correct!! Caleb's college career numbers in the Red Zone~ 61 TD's/ 1 int. Also excited to witness the growth between Caleb and this strong group of WR's!!!
Back at it!
Poles is really smart.
Da Bears GM Ryan Poles did an awesome job drafting QB Calab Williams and WR Rome Odunze. Monster's of The Midway are Back n Black ⚫️
🐻 ⬇️
I love this man. Ryan Poles is a knowledgable & knows what the heck is going on as opposed to Pace,Emery, & Angelo.
We will see ! Bear Down !
Thank you poles for addressing the past tired of hearing about it too
I don’t think Bears fans have ever been this excited going into a season. Da Bears!
King Poles 🥹 Thank you. I didn't fall asleep until 2 am. but woke up feeling like a dang champion 🐻⬇️🧡💙
I love you ryan poles
I disagree
Tears of joy run down my face
I’m glad he’s tired of bringing up the past because I am too all due respect F the 85 bears let’s talk about the bears of today🐻⬇️
There will Never be another team like the 85 Bears. That was the best Defense Ever!!! When Football was Football.
@@tomthumb3880 that’s great the rest the NFL kept playing football. Horses used to be the best way of transportation I don’t see too many horses on the road anymore
@@father2x140Legends never die buddy
@@Nate-ce2hn never said they did just stating no one’s watching reruns of the 85 bears but🐻⬇️ we’re in a new day and age
This is a trash comment. Why are you insulting a legendary team to try to make some nonsense point? I'm guessing your lack of respect for legacy means you're either very young, or someone who paints their nails like our new QB does.
This man must’ve taken a class on “How to be a good GM from Jerry Jones & Howie Roseman”
Chicago has NEVER had this type of draft ever!
1981 and 1982 were seriously good drafts for the Bears.
@user-xr9li2sz6ltroll harder. You don’t know ball
@user-xr9li2sz6ljust shut up
@user-xr9li2sz6l you realize the 2nd RD pick got us Montez Sweat right?
@user-xr9li2sz6lyou must be an idiot 🤣
That little smile when asked briefly about the ATL pick is hilarious.
The Chicago Bears need to give ryan poles a life time contract for how he changed and reinvented the Bears the best gm and front office the bears ever had making moves ok the offense side of the ball
Poles is gonna make history for breaking the cycle
The man knows football . 🏈
I like that he is acknowledging how the bears history has been holding them back and must be part of the plan for this year with all new offensive coachingg staff and rookies who can come in and hear the message that it is a new day in chicago
Bear down baby
