Wow. I feel like I just watched an ESPN or sports center documentary, great editing/great dialogue and just overall, an amazing video, I’m definitely subbing 🤙
Thank you, Adrian! We appreciate the feedback and will put out more content like this in the near future. Is there anything you’d like to see?
I can't leave a comment I assume unless I subscribe...Well, tell him he got a down vote. Also tell him to stop being a pussy
@@firstteamfootball Yeah, this was a really really well put together video. This channel definitely has the talent to be a major informative platform. Look forward to more content
Im guessing the bears should have drafted marino…
@@RobynHood1021You know, even without a Super Bowl win... Or a Super Bowl... I'm guessing he probably is glad to have had what he did in Miami. VS whatever could have happened here. IDK, just guessing 😁
Hester’s return in the opening of the Super Bowl was unreal. The amount of flash photography used is something will probably never see again.
INSANE! A truly historical moment
Felt like an earthquake was happening around the city.
It may be a long time before we see the opening kick off of the Super Bowl returned. We will see how the new kick off rules change that
This is incredible. You nailed this documentary and it’s highly informative for us Bear fans. This is an academy award documentary.
Wow! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind comment, means a lot
It's a fine RUclips video but it's missing a lot and no it's not academy award material.
Justin Fields isn’t a failure the franchise is a failure.
Let’s see if they can figure out their QB development with Caleb. Sure hope they can
Naw niga
i agree
Wow, clicked on this video fully expecting it to be a bears teardown session. watched what felt like an espn 30 for 30 documentary, then be surprised when i see this channel only has 724 subscribers. hats off to this channel. definitely deserves more. you got one more sub today and i look forward to more football breakdowns like this in the future.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words and sub! While not every story is always a positive one, we try to find bright spots, and pride ourselves on sticking to stats, the facts and telling stories in a digestible way. If there’s any content you’d like to see in the future, let us know!
@@firstteamfootballThat's even better! Show us all the good, bad, and ugly. Even if it's my team not passing to Marshawn😭🤣✌️ Looking forward to what you bring!
Thank you! Glad to have you on board!
I didn’t know McMahon was chill like that…
😭😭😭
McMahon was THEE MAN! Cooler than ice on Pluto
I see a lot of people say “how do you not have more subscribers” on other channels. But with this channel, that statement couldn’t be more true…
Like this video was amazingly edited and high quality. If you keep this content up it’s only a matter of time for you to get more noticed. I get to say I was here when you were a smaller channel 🤭
That means a ton to our team! Thank you for being one of the first 💯
This auto played after i watched another video and i thought it was a NFL Films production. This is insanely well done. Instant subscription from me. You are extremely talented. Keep up the amazing work.
Wow! That is extremely high praise and we’re humbled you feel that way. Thank you for the sub. We’ll be putting out more content like this in the future so stay tuned!
Good video overall but you missed a couple things on the Fields analysis. Dalton was signed first and only signed there because he was promised the starting job. They had no idea they’d be able to draft a qb but made a horrible desperation trade when Fields dropped because Pace and Nagy were lame ducks and thought a young qb might buy them more time. Dalton was not brought in to mentor anyone, but it came out recently that when he and Foles did try to be good teammates and give Fields some pointers he had no interest.
“Faulty pass protection” - the line has been ranked top 10 both of the last 2 years in ESPN pass block win rate%. I’m not making that up, anyone can look it up. That stat measures how often the line holds their blocks for 2.5 sec, when most good qbs have the ball out of there. But as we all know Fields holds the ball for-fing-ever and only got slightly better over time at sensing pressure and/or throwing the ball away. Sorry not sorry to bust everyone’s bubble but most of the sacks were on him.
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Phenomenal points! Justin was in fact drafted to save their jobs, and definitely struggled going through progressions in the passing game. Great insight and we’re glad you enjoyed the video!
I just hope for the Bears' sake that Caleb isnt just Fields 2.0. No doubt this comment will get some backlash, but if you want to see something interesting, look up the long list of USC QBs that have been drafted into the NFL. They were all busts, some of them terrible terrible busts, and all of them highly regarded in scouting reports. The ONE exception being Carson Palmer, who although had a long and fairly consistent career, didnt achieve the HoF, nor will he. That's the only one (You can say Hayden, I disagree). USC has a long history of being a very QB friendly system, and an equally long history of those QBs not being nearly as good in the NFL as they looked in college.
It's not just Darnold, Kessler, Sanchez, Barkley, Leinart or Cassel either. It's a long and storied list. Does that mean Caleb will follow suit? Who knows. Just saying drafting stud QBs from that system has had a very low percentage success rate.
Just want to echo what everyone else here is saying. Incredible work, quality is right up there with docus from NFL Films and ESPN. Ready to watch you speed run 1,000,000 subscribers.
Wow! Thank you very much for the kind words. The million sub speed run starts now 😂😂
Not a Bears fan but loved the excellent documentary style..damn good stuff!
Thank you! Who’s your team?? We’ll be making more of these in the future
It never fails to irritate me when McMahon is spoken of like he was a winner by circumstance. When I go back and watch the '85 games (all are online, except Game 3 (???...) I see one darn good QB in McMahon. That guy was a heck of a QB, I don't care what anybody says. I've been watching them most of my 60 years, there have been a few truly bad ones.
Agree. Injuries plagued him for most of his career.
Passing over Rodgers was like the Browns passing over Roethlisberger as the guy each passed over went on to personally torture that team and the fanbase for many many years.
Sid Luckman enters the chat... "excuse me?" 😀
Seriously 😂
He said 7 decades.
It has, in fact, been 70 years.
😭🙏🏼
Soooo good! Your editing and narration are awesome. While the Bears have struggled, hopefully they are heading in the right direction and their new face of the franchise can turn things around! Thanks for a great video and can’t wait to see what you post next!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully Caleb works out for the bears
The production quality of this video is top shelf. Subscribed and liked. Keep it up!
Thank you for the sub!! More videos like this on the way
I think a big problem with the Bears is the team tends to hire defensive minded head coaches vs coaches with an offensive mindset who could draft and develop its quarterback. The Packers traded for Farve and drafted Rodgers and Love…but since the 90s the Packers have hired offensive minded coaches.
I think you're kind of right, but it's worth pointing out that 2 of their last 4 coaches were offensive-minded coaches, and 3 of the 8 coaches they've had since 1980 were offensive-minded.
They skew defensive, but not drastically.
I certainly won't claim that Trestman and Nagy were offensive geniuses, but they were at least offensive guys.
My entire block EXPLODED into madness when that double doink occurred. Philly fans thought we were going back to back on bowls almost immediately lol.
And if I remember, Philly went on to win the Super Bowl that season.
INSANE.......where did this first team football team come from haha? this feels like an ESPN 30//30 documentary.....good work gentlemen. I am now avidly waiting for y'alls next video
Thanks brother. We put a ton of time into this one. Just 3 guys who love football and want to share it with the world in a way nobody has done before.
This was done better than any major media outlet could do it
Thank you, Kyle!!
At least this time we can’t be BLAMED for picking Caleb if he stinks . Picking him was the conventional wisdom at the time.
This was amazing, great work! As a bears fan, I am cautiously optimistic about Williams. Although as you have pointed out in the video, this isn’t the first time I have thought that ‘we found our guy’. I hope he is different!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it. Williams definitely has the potential to be a real difference maker
You deserve way more subscribers. Awesome video
In 1983 the Bears passed on Marino twice. As well as others. The drafted Jimbo Covert, Marino’s roommate at Pitt, earlier in the first round. They had McMahon who was ROY in 1982.
This is what I wanted from tv! Which they delivered some, but not without irritating me😁 Please keep it up, no matter how long it takes! Subbed 👍👍👍 It's like corporate forgot how to people. Glad there's so many sports guys on YT. Gorgeous video!
Thanks for the sub! We’re glad you liked the video and we will certainly be making more like it for the foreseeable future 🤙
@@firstteamfootball Absolutely; well deserved! Discovering the sports people on YT has been amazing, and this was such a great video. Keep it up; I look forward to it all💪✌️🖖
GREAT VIDEO!!!! Just subbed for the channel!!! Being a lifelong Bears fan, it is not accurate to say they NEVER had a good QB. They have never been a pass happy team and relied on great defense and solid run offense. Harbaugh was decent, Erik Kramer, McMahon, Cutler etc. Problem is they were never long term players for this team. But, they have WHIFFED big time in drafting 1st round QB's. Linebackers we will hit all of the time. Still makes me mad we let Roquan go and basically paid Tremaine only 2M less. Not the best Poles decision.
Thank you for the sub and glad you enjoyed the video! I completely agree with you that the players you mentioned were all good quarterbacks in their own right. Whether or not they were franchise altering talents is certainly up for debate, but many of them did play the role necessary to achieve team success (particularly McMahon)
20 seconds in and I can tell you’re gonna blow up. You got the voice and editing skills bro
Thank you Michael! It was a collaborative effort and that means a ton to our team. What content would you like to see?
Great vid! As a bit of a football nerd, I appreciate this type of depth!
Long suffering Bears fan here
Great job on this, although painful. Caleb IS THE ONE!
This is honestly wild 😳, great video!!
This was cathartic to say this least. The “we want Fields” chants after the guy had a single decent passing game was really tough to swallow. So many fans wanted to do the exact same thing we’ve been doing for decades… sticking with a mediocre QB for too long and passing on elite talent at the position when they are sitting right there in the draft. We are so blessed that Ryan Poles took over and hasn’t let a single brain dead fan take sway him from his mission. Caleb Williams is gonna be an absolute legend in Chicago and it will be so worth the wait!
You say that, as if William isn’t a potential head case, possibly ready to implode Ryan Leaf style..
I appreciate you making a video like this. I enjoyed it and I can't wait to see more. Thank you.
Of course! Glad you enjoyed it. More to follow 🤙
Lifelong Bears fan, lotta hurt in this vid. I remember being optimistic of Rex Grossman LOL I was fully bought in on Fields, he's gone now. hopefully Caleb Williams is that guy cuz if i have to hear Jordan Love saying "I still own you" in 10 to 15 years I'm going to lose my marbles
Excellent Video all said, liked and subscribed
The most beautiful yet painful thing about football is the hope that it brings. Caleb may very well be the answer to decades of waiting. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the sub!
Grossman should have been a great QB but after that initial injury, he lost most of his mobility and had to resort to becoming a pocket passer. Was never his style of play in college at Florida. Watch some of his old college films and you will see what I’m trying to indicate.
This was incredible great job on everything man I’m subbed jow
Thank you for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the video, let us know what kind of content you’d like to see in the future
As Bears fans, we never really cared that much about finding good quarterbacks, let one winning Super Bowls. That's our proud culture.
Very good my dude 👏🏻. This just randomly played next while I’m chillin’ on the couch after work. #DaBears
Happy you enjoyed it! Our content is best post-work 😂🤙
Dreadful front office is the problem that's been the curse. Not just bad coaching. Bad recruitment look at the list of QBs they past up on. Jim Finks was the best GM bears have had. He even past up greats QBs like Dan Marino. Ryan Poles would have drafted him & Rodgers. Poles is different. Caleb Williams time.
As a lifelong bears fan the ineptitude at this position is alarming to put it mildly. Even Jim McMahon wasn't anything special cuz he was constantly injured.
What a fantastic production from such a small channel. Great job!
Everybody has to start somewhere ! Now you can say you were here before we got big haha.
Just 3 dudes who love football. Thanks for the nice comment…seriously means a lot
@@firstteamfootball yeah dude! I subbed! Can’t wait to see more from yall. Maybe we can get something about the woes the cowboys keep going through😭
@Catalyst512 cowboys are on our short list of teams we want to cover soon! Thanks for the sub!
To be fair, I dont think fields was a bad choice. It just so happens that the cards laid out even better for us this time around.
I’ll believe in Williams when I see it on the field.
Facts, too many people are hyping him up and he hasn’t done anything yet.
Its funny. Im not a bears fan, but I never saw them as one of the worst franchises. It was always baffling how they continued to screw at QB. Even more so than the lions did for years. They're really a representation of how far defense and a strong run game can take you.
I’m 4 minutes in and giving this the like. The presentation alone is professional quality.
😂😂😂 thank you! That means a lot to us. What content would you like to see more of?
Very well done 👍
746 subs? This is quality work. Keep it up, your time will come. Subscribed 👍🏿
Thank you for being #747….now you can officially say you were early
incredible quality video.
Thank you!!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: the common denominator is the MacCaskies. They need to sell the team. There’s no other franchise that has this much ineptitude at QB.
Rick Mirer trade was laughable. Being he cost a first it was way too much.
Yeah they had bobby layne And George blanda And got rid of both of them wow lol. But regardless The mccaskys are the problem
@@leethecomedianHave to agree. Like Ditka once said, Halas threw nickels around like man hole covers. Some things never change. I’m waiting for Virginia to pass and see if the grandkids want out of their share of the team which may or should force a sale. 🤞
@@skeletor9121 we know they don't care about the alumni either. Ed (son in law) who George hated got a patch when he died, but Gale didn't. That still pisses me off. That's embarrassingly disrespectful in my opinion. I can live with the losing, but not honoring the alumni, that's disheartening
had no idea bears passed on marino. good job breaking down the history. hopefully things will change for us with caleb.
Surprised us too when doing the research! Glad you enjoyed
We also could’ve had Kurt Warner, but for whatever reason, God wanted him to go to the Rams, so every time he was about to have a tryout session with the Bears he gets distracted by his wedding, then his fucking honeymoon, and everything under the fucking sun..
The McCrapskeys really did curse us with their greed and incompetence…
@@Elijah-NUMetal-IsMyWife-Boyd this information just annoyed me lmfaooo
Amazing video. Subbed
Thank you John! Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic job.
god that was painful as a bears fan to watch a few moments of greatness tho
Great work and definitely subbed. Bear down
Thanks for the sub!!
Not a big football fan, but this was a really cool, very engaging documentary. Well done.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you stick around for more content
Content was excellent and well done. Sucks our beloved franchise has had some bad quarterbacking. Hoping Williams helps us turn the corner.
Great video
If only we could alternate universes it would be fascinating to see the Bears history if they landed someone like Marino, Rodgers, Allen or Stroud for that matter. Would be in the same boat as other Bear QB's? I mean at this point it has to be a institutional issue rather than talent since they all struggled so much.
They continue to diss McMahon. Yes, the defense was great, Payton was great, but they didn’t win without him.
Jim McMahon could have been a absolute all-time great, but he just did not possess the will to do so. He liked being a celebrity more than he liked being a quarterback
Watched Fields play at OSU and it was obvious he wouldn't make it in the NFL. Why the Bears would use a first round pick on him is insane. He was a 3-5th pick at best
This is incredible work. Your sub count is going to explode
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Fantastic video. Would love to have half of the production and editing knowledge you have. Great work. Definitely earned a like and a sub
Appreciate the love and glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the sub 🤙
great video. Nice job
Thank you!!
Fun fact Tomczak had the best nfl career for a buckeye QB
Stroud already surpassed his career.
@@edgargallardo9175 one season doesn't make a career. He's on pace and I'm pulling for him, but nobody knows the future.
@@leethecomedian as a Texans and Ohio fan, I am pulling for him also. I hope Stroud finally breaks the "curse" of OSU qbs failling in the pros.
I’m a bit torn with the Bears offloading a QB they drafted in Rd 1 to take another prospect. The Bears don’t do much in the field of QB development from what I’ve seen over the years. I believe this is why they are constantly looking for that franchise QB. I also can’t 100% put the blame on the QBs because in the modern era their offensive line hasn’t exactly been spectacular while at the same time running into injuries. It makes for a terrible situation with Bears QBs. Is Caleb really the answer? No, unless they can find a way to develop what many say is a generational talent.
Growing up i always liked Jim McMahon even though he stayed in the Shield's PR doghouse... and I've thought more than a few times that we've got a spiritual successor of sorts to his legacy in Baker Mayfield
Granted Baker's chilled out a bit since his college days, but... yeah. Yeah, if this was the 80s hed be rocking them big ass tennis headbands lol
This Chiefs fan thanks his lucky stars every day that the Bears didn't draft Mahomes.....given the Bears pathetic track record at developing QBs, they probably would have screwed up Mahomes, and he'd be a backup somewhere else, just like Fields and Trubisky.....if Caleb Williams can do well and take the Bears deep into the playoffs, I'll be astounded and amazed.
As much fun as it is to make fun of the Bears (I say as a bears fan) Mahomes would still be good if he came to Chicago, and Trubisky would still be trash if he ended up on the Chiefs.
Would Mahomes be who he is now? Probably not. He probably wouldn't have even been to a Super Bowl yet. But the talent gap between Mahomes and anyone the Bears have ever had is gigantic.
Yes, they absolutely would have wasted his career, but we would be talking about him like people talk about Andrew Luck. A great player wasted by gross organizational incompetence.
Just stumbled onto this channel, good stuff! Tbh until he plays an actual down, it’s hard to buy into the hype. The talent is definitely there, but he played against mediocre defense at best in the PAC-12
Too early to say if William is the guy. Haven't seen him play.
I had high hopes for Fields, but Nagy was 100 when telling us all (none of you listened) that he wasn’t at all ready, that he couldn’t read defenses bc at Ohio State he had FOUR first round pick WRs and he just played back yard ball. It’s clear he needs a system and when it’s time to play real QB he can’t do it, just like Lamar every year in the playoffs and against any good defenses he just disappears
Williams might not be the best qb they ever draft but he will have the nicest nails!
I like how you glossed over Glennon 😂
There is something magical about the misery of bears fans, have been to 15 different games in the span of 5 years and I’ve only witnessed home losses. I honestly blame the fans. How fast they turn on players is absurd. Love them bears but man do the fans hate some of there own players for there little mistakes
Who had the better perm in the mid 80s? Ditka or Doug Collins???
ESPN should probably hire this guy
Hahahaha thank you! That means a lot to our team
I'm praying that the Bears eventually relocate to another city.
Been a bears fan over 40 years! I've seen a ton of bad picks & poorly coached guys! Fields lacked coaching. After picking williams, I'm done & hope the bears lose until poles is fired
I hope the Bears will continue losing until they relocate to another city.
13:54 Young me knows exactly what’s about to happen next in this video. Young me And current me why knew that part that I was alive for would make up half the video. Pain. 💀
Young me thought we’ll always have QB play like that. Then 1995 happened and I was like “he broke the record?!? Just like that? Well then it will happen again..”
Young me learned the hard way that being a Bears fan, QB play would be easy for every other city except Chicago. Hope Caleb can change this. He has to!!!! I can’t wait any longer!!!!
You did a great job of creating a video so I’m not going to criticize your concoction harshly. All I’ll say is that McMahon, McNown, Trubisky, and Cutler were all considered top tier talents when the Bears acquired them. The Bears lack a plan for development for QBs and that’s why Williams will probably fail too
It is against NFL rules for the Bears to have a good QB.
At least the Bears have a formula for success, they could be the Lions or Cardinals
26:54 From the Panthers. From trading them pick 1 the year prior as you mentioned. You don’t need to spice it up any further. The bear situation is as bad as it’s ever been and didn’t need any extra drama to make it look like they’re the worst ever.
At least this time the GM made a calculated decision that was smart and not go for what everyone would’ve told them to do in 2023, which would’ve been to draft Bryce Young and they would’ve found themselves without a plethora of players that are key to the office today like DJ Moore and Darnell Wright or that they also gained Tyrique Stevenson who should have been DPoY.
Hell, they still get another second round pick in next year’s draft from the Panthers.
This Bears GM actually stuck with his own plan that look like what everybody else was doing prior to him, but in reality, he was setting up this team to be one of the top destinations for any quarterback to get there going into this season and the fact that the Panthers gifted them the number one overall pick Really shows they go down losing their top player.
It was a tremendous trade and will probably go down as one of the great heists in NFL history along with the Herschel Walker trade! Things are looking up in Chicago, there’s no question. Just wanted to point out a trend with the franchise that had become rather evident, which was sticking with a QB they had drafted in years prior as opposed to moving on (like Arizona did with Josh Rosen when they drafted Kyler Murray). It feels like the bears definitely got it right this time though, moving on from fields and selecting Caleb. Thank you for the commentary and insights!
@@firstteamfootball oh, what Arizona did with Josh Rosen Was unprecedented at that no team has ever given up on a first round draft pick that early without some type of injury attached to the player.
Well Ryan Poles showed that there’s more than one way to do that method of getting their guy.
Because had he done it the year prior like everybody wanted him to do he wouldn’t have had Caleb Williams, or all the plethora of players that came with that. So, if anything he went against what everyone else told him to do.
@@dobe46Don’t forget that the Panthers have an owner (Tepper) who demanded that they pick a QB in the draft. Thus, the GM and others were basically forced to make that trade. Now both GM and coach are unemployed. That’s what happens when you have an owner with little football experience.
Your entertainment is my nightmare. Welcome to Chicago.
LOVE OWNS YOU
Ha ha 🤣🤣. Guess after one season, that’s a pretty big assumption. Bear down!
@skeletor9121 Bears haven't beaten the packers in over 4 years. Your franchise and city are trash. I'm from aurora IL I know first hand. Northern IL is a disgrace to the land of Lincoln.
@@y2j1490yahoo Your initial posted comment suggested that Love owns the Bears. One blooming flower doesn’t make a spring and one year of two wins doesn’t equate to owning shit.
@@skeletor9121 Rodgers did , love does now. The packers have for over 10 years. Your team is bottom 5 of the league historically.
The best Bears QB of all time was Sid Luckman who played in the 1940s
Can’t wait for Caleb Williams to start for three years and then get traded and go 0 and six against the packers during his time as starter
Bitchell was a complete goon in college too. He never won the stating job at basketball college and hasn’t played since his senior year of high school and again couldn’t beat out an undrafted QB with zero NFL future, he wasn’t and never was any of the things he was called in this video in any pisiti e way, his own coach ripped him pretty good during the season and was stunned he was drafted in the first, just look it up!!
At some point you gotta stop pointing the finger at the man under center and point the fingers at the people in charge. Coaches change, players change, the owners stayed the same, and there's more to that "owners stayed the same" than I care to even try to explain.
Justin Fields sack issues aren’t entirely on the o line. He holds onto the ball way too long. He literally had the longest time to pass this season
Agreed! There are a multitude of factors that go into it, including route combinations and the QBs ability to go through progressions
You can thank Ryan Pace for that decision. How could someone miss that from his college career?
Maybe the Bears quarterback was the friends we made along the way…..
😭🙏🏼
It’s the fans.
Caleb is the next big Bears QB bust.
Nagy looked like he was possessed when parkey missed the double doink and he wanted to kill the guy!
😂😂😂 I couldn’t believe it when it happened live!
Who knew Field and pill rhymed?
Hopefully this ends up just like the other ones in utter failure.
How Bears is it to pa0ss on Aaron Rodgers while drafting Cedric Benson?
Hopefully Caleb gets us out of qb hell...
Caitlin Williams isn't the answer.
20:00 wow you forgot about the 2 first round picks and Kyle Orton, not just a fifth round pick.
You’re 100% spot on! Great call.
Hahaha I’m dying. He said Mitch exploded!! Yeah he sure did and not Jan good way. He is literally the worst QB I have ever seen play. Completely clueless and just looks stupid and has backed that up ever since!!
