DON'T EVALUATE THE PLAYERS, EVALUATE THE COACHES. IT ALL STARTS & ENDS WITH THE COACHES PERIOD. IT IS THEIR JOB TO DEVELOP TALENTS & PLAYERS. IF NAGY CALLS THOSE BONE HEAD CRAPPY PLAYS LIKE HE DID IN 2019, WE WILL GET THE SAME RESULTS. MOST OF THE GAMES LAST YEAR WE HAD LOW TO NO POINTS THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF; WITH THE SAME PLAYERS WE HAD IN 2018. LET'S HOLD NAGY RESPONSIBLE. IT WAS THE SAME THEME THROUGHT THE 2019 SEASON.
Besides Ifedi, who else is out there given Cap constrains? Heck, we could not afford Teddy Bridgewater, TE Hooper, and other great free agents. It is how Nagy chooses to use these new players that will determine if their signing was valuable. SEAN PAYTON DID AN AWESOME JOB WITH GRAHAM, AND BRIDGEWATER IN NOLA.
Jimmy Graham was a basketball player with great hands. He will be very effective inside the Red Zone, and short passing game; that is, if Nagy draws up the perfect calls for Graham in EACH UNIQUE SITUATION.
Quinn will do his thing with Mack at the opposite end.
The O-Line coach somehow will need to form a "Halo" safe zone around our QB on every pass play, and get his boys to MOVE defensive players from point A to Point B, against their will. That is how studs play. Strength, Power, & Determination by our O-Line on every play, especially in the 4th Qtr when those big bodies begin to dominate the D-Line, like Surrey, Keith Van Horn, Noah Jackson, Covert, et al. Good coaches know how to kick ass with their big men.
It's all in the coaching. The 2019 O-Line could not move sh-t if their lives depended on it. Send them to new England, or the 49ers, and watch them blossom. Why? Coaching, Coaching, Coaching. Too many pretenders calling themselves "Coaches". Ditto for the Defense. It will also depend on how Pagano uses his newly acquired personnel. Use them right like late Buddy Ryan, we'll have a great defense. Call shi--y signals, we'll be mediocre at best. It all depends on the Coaching my friends.
LETS START HOLDING ALL THE COACHING STAFF FEET TO THE FIRE. NO MORE BLAMING THE PLAYERS FIRST. THE COACHES ARE PAID TO DEVELOP DRAFTS, TRADES, AND TALENT. IF THE STUDENTS FAIL, THE TEACHER IS ACCOUNTABLE. NAGY SUCKED AS A PLAY CALLER LAST SEASON LEADING TO LOW, TO NO POINTS SCORED THE ENTIRE HALF IN MOST GAMES. HE COULD NOT MAKE THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. YES, MITCH HAD SOME BLAME BUT NAGY WAS HIRED TO DEVELOP TRUBISKY WHO REGRESSED. NOW THAT HE HAS NEW OFFENSIVE COACHES WHO WILL HE BLAME IF THE OFFENSE FAILS TO SCORE POINTS IN THE 1ST HALF NEXT SEASON??? WE SHALL SEE.
So it is premature to predict how each player will perform. They do not clo the plays, or draw them up.
KC, NE, GB, AND SAINTS COACHES ALL SEEM TO FIND A WAY TO CONSISTENTLY MOVE THE BALL, AND TO SCORE POINTS. IT ALL IN THE COACHING FOLKS.
I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH NAGY'S BORING REPETITIVE POST GAME CONFERENCE IN 2020 SEASON.

It's a 1 year deal for a player who has started 60 games in 4 years for a team known for running the ball down your throat. He's a mauler and a move to guard might be what he and the Bears need. It is worth the risk for a minimum deal; Rashard Coward is not that good this brings in depth and competition at a small price.

The Bears need 2 fix their O - line no doubt and get another good db in the secondary but the real problem is like always they let 2 many go in free agency over the years and have cut some players they should have kept with the exception of those with talent who are there that gets a chance 2 play like wr Tanner Gentry he should have been given the chance to play more but overall Ryan Pace has really fucked this team up Ms.Mccaskey is the owner and she needs 2 get out and talk 2 her players and ask questions and sit down and reconstruct those guys contracts 2 keep everyone from last year's team - she has lost good players as well as coaches - I don't understand her not talking 2 the players because their input count as much as Ryan Pace's input - Lovie Smith had this team headed in the right direction and so did John Fox but again she let Ryan Pace run everything and fucked it up now more players are leaving and not kept - if u want players 2b Loyal then the organization and the owner or owners should be Loyal 2 keep the players as family

Honestly, I'm not doing backflips & handstands over any of the Bears choices acquired to fix areas in disarray needing major improvements if they're serious about making a run in the playoffs/SB should there even be a NFL season this year for obvious reasons. Hard as I seek glimmers of hope and welcome distractions from argumentively the most depressing, worrisome ongoing nightmarish event of my lifetime, it's nice of the League to have been the one, single, organized beloved American past-time of football still trying to adapt implementing changes to continue in important off-season activities/events when everything else is shot to h###, especially for those who won't be with us to see how it turned out IF 2020 NFL season as planned goes forward as scheduled at least. Honestly whilst grateful for making the tough call for the Draft and important events go on during this dark foreboding period destined to be one of the darkest times in recent history.
I'm sorry for being a downer here when I'd intended to cite football as one bright spot dimly flickering at the end of this dark tunnel but my mood swung back to the low side when it also occured to me that football games as well as everything else that have giant stadiums and facilities traditionally packed with sweaty, writhing waves of humanity taking in gamrs,etc. en masse are probably going to become obsolete whether by mandate or perhaps by choice of survivors wisely opting to adopt social distancing and sensible personal conduct for theirs and the common good. Making me kinda sad again thinking about the things we enjoy and define us that will probably have to be curtailed & phased out in a timely fashion only making it harder to imagine what will have to change if humanity is able to save itself, but for now I guess it's not unreasonable to hold out hopes for a return to normalcy which hopefully doesn't include starting 2020 playing the same way they did in 2019...Best wishes & luck all.

Honestly I'm not overly impressed with any of the bears free agent signings. No one really pops out as a real difference maker. Robert Quinn is a maybe. Nick Foles might be an upgrade or he mught not. Im already mentally prepped for a mediocre bears season. Their not going anywhere.
