This guy might end up being the best GM in football in a few years. Smart, rational, down-to-earth, full of common sense.
Brad Holmes clears.
@@MrHunterbggood one
😂😂😂😂 gtfoh. My 5 yr old son could have made those picks. U don't get credit for the obvious picks.
@@packers12to80 Cry Packers fan. FTP
@Troysteece - I don't know about your opinion about it but I am concerned and disappointed the Bears didn't focus on DE and could have drafted Xavier Thomas in the 4th. The Bears could have traded down, still drafted Xavier Thomas and the punter in the 5th round.
Never in all my life as a Bears fan have i felt so good about the direction the team is going. Bless this man and lets get those 8 SBs!
I can't tell if your a bears fan or a cowboys fan😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha. Jamarcus Russell 2.0
@@jayjyaexplain
Hahaha couch coach@@jayjya
Not since the 80s have ai felt this good about the Bears
I'm 33 years old and was born into bears fandom. Been a bears fan my whole life. This is the first time I feel we are set up for success for the long run. I wish I could shake Poles hand. I'm almost speechless
As a Texans fan welcome to the club man I’ve dealt with so many bad seasons and drafts lol looking forward to seeing Caleb blossoming in the regular season and ballin out
@@jcruz4605 Respectfully, the Bears have been in a perpetually bad situation longer than the Texans have existed.
Same. Beyond that one year in high school they went to the Superbowl (amazing) ... Then every Cutler year had something happen, whether it was the 4int the first game. The injury in the NFC championship, his thumb getting hurt, or just barely missing the playoffs.... We've had it tough. This is amazing. (All things considered Cutler still the best QB we've ever had, by far, the coaches just failed him)
When all your wishes are granted many of your dreams will be destroyed.
I'm 30 and I was born into it as well. I haven't been this excited about the Bears since Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff of the superbowl for a TD
King Poles 👑
Easiest decision for a GM ever lmao
@@BratatoChipnot that trade tho 🔥
@@BratatoChipbc of a trade he made🤷♂️
@@llamarre4I mean fair enough ? He’s a solid GM forsure
@@BratatoChipIt’s how he got the pick bro😂😂
It's weird as a Bears fan to have confidence in the front office.
How's his divisional record look?
Amen 🙏
@@jessefay4984 I mean he took over a terrible roster because the previous GM is one of the worst in NFL history. In just a few years it's remarkable how much better the roster looks. Now he finally got to draft his QB. If Caleb is even 75% of what he is supposed to be they will make the playoffs this year.
@@Jdubayou this roster isn't even good. You guys are basing all this on guys who haven't either 1)played an nfl snap or 2)played a snap for the bears. The odds of Caleb having a cj Stroud first year is extremely slim.
@@jessefay4984 the odds of you knowing what you're talking about is slim
I love this dude thank u King poles for changing this team in the right direction 🐻⬇️
He hasn’t done anything yet
@@jayjyahe is clearly doing something different than our previous GM’s have done. It’s the direction that brings optimism
@@jayjyaholy casual
@@jayjya must be a fields fan or a packers fan cause to not give him credit
Poles gets an A+ grade for the draft! LET'S GO! 🐻⬇️ #puntingiswinning
I am so glad Poles is our gm. 🐻 down!
I’m so happy he is our GM as a Bears fan, a true master mind in building a team
Bears fan here.. Every decision he makes... are at minimum logical... something we are not used to in CHI... Mediocrity became the norm before King Poles came on board.
@@Fluffy2Buffy Chase Claypool.
@@MyMonsterguy ok, I will give you that one.. No argument there..
@@MyMonsterguyEven that move was logical it just didn't work out.
Ryan Poles is great not because of just his talent and luck (#1 from Carolina was crazy), but because he gives himself mulitple opportunities to be successful consistently. For every Chase Claypool there has been a DJ Moore, for every Valus Jones Sr. Sr., there was a Rome Odunze.
Ryan Poles has Generational Talent.
Wow that was bald. I mean toothless
I loved how he said the word “violent” when it came to defense. Long time Bears fan waiting for that violent mentality of defense to come back. I was ten years old when they won the superbowl, and that defense was overwhelming and took no prisoners. Make your opponent feel pain and wish they never lined up against your D. I hope this team can take the north. It’s been a long time in the making. Great job Poles.
That was bald
That was bald
I saw a guy falling on his knees last week (it was Trenton Gill)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, buddy gone.
Was that before or after his 30 yard boot? 😂
I'm a 39 year old BREAS FAN and he's deserves SO MUCH CREDIT. #KINGPOLES! Thanks to him DA Bears have a bright future. Can't wait for the season and hopefully we can stay healthy. I'm expecting da Bears to compete in every game. Thank you GM Poles. You are a true MVP of Chicago!
You are bald. Great comment.
@@user-yj5xo9yi5zyou keep saying “bald” in your comments? You have a texting accent or something?😂
@@user-yj5xo9yi5z lmfao. Full head of hair thanks to great genetics. I'm betting you are still a virgin!! You should probably get a life now 😆
Best gm ever hands down.. turned this team around in 3 years is insane!! Thabk you poles
Man you are bald. Good comment. Man that was toothless
What poles is doing for the bears franchise is unbelievable. He has turned a team with almost 0 weapons and future into one of the most high powered offenses in the league. Let this man cook.
Don’t forget a top 10 defense
you guys are a classy group .. always respectful and always asking great questions.. professional and valuable… thanks
That’s bald. I mean you are toothless
love this guy dude. best move the bears ever made.
None of this happens without L.Smith deciding to win that game with The Texans two years ago.
People look over the RB room on the bears too got Swift, Herbert and Roschon Johnson
My GM has drip!! Sheesh!!
coming from a bears fan, i absolutely love these interviews and hope you get poles back on again. BEAR DOWN BABY NFL WATCH OUT WE"RE COMING
Chef Poles cooking!
Being a bears fan for over 40 years it makes me wonder why it took so long to get a great gm? Ryan "BIG" Poles, no diddy, deserves a raise for showing us how its done. Excited to be a fan again.
Because he doesn't look the part that the Bears are used to.
Pat keeps me laughing whenever he throws in his very last minute zinger at the very end when interviewing Ryan Poles. He's done that last month when he interviewed him. Lol
Haha, that jab at the end. Thats why I love this show!
I cant believe we got a guy like Poles to run this team. Unreal
We finally have a special GM matched with now Caleb a wonderful prospect life's good as a bears fan.
Poles all business. 🤘
At what point do we start to acknowledge that the Bears have a generational GM talent?
The king of the north 🙌
Not happening
@@evileyevalausjust deal with when it does…..
Sick Bear picture in the background!!
Smart take
Best interview so far. 🐻⬇
The way this team is built we have an excellent chance to do some special things as long as everyone stays healthy 🙏🙏🙏💯💯
Love everything he said here. I’m sold🤝🏾
I'm just sitting back waiting because it's a waiting game at this point. I'm not going to pass out any expectation. I will watch each game to see what each player does but trying to act as if my expectation ever came true is false. That's the reason our emotions stay on a roller-coaster.
Pace wasn't transparent, polls is as transparent as can be. You've changed this city sir, you just don't know it yet.
Thats a real GM for you. Not the freaking clown show in Atlanta. A QB with the #8 pick. Sheesh
🐻⬇️WE’RE SO BACK
No no they not🤣
“Dude we’re so in there” lol 🐻
LOOK MOM AJ HAWK ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE ON PAT MCAFFE
BPP! 👊🏽🐻⬇️ #IYKYK 😏
I love Ryan Poles.
Is it just me or what,ryan poles is everywhere and a rock star.He is going to be up there with finks and jerry v.
Thank God! Another team besides the Patriots, Colts, Steelers and Packers. Thank you PMS!
I almost want to close my eyes I’m so geeked
Big Pole Poles ❤
Best gm in the nfl
Poles is the man. Bear Down baby…💯🤙🏼
Big Pole
IN POLES WE TRUST.
Canandaigua boy! Don’t like the bears but happy he is doing so well!!
That's my GM, Big Pole.
KING POLES 👑
That's My GM!!!!!!! 🐻👇🏼 Baby Woooooooooo
Now we need a o-line
Poles isn't done. This is only year 2 of the rebuild after 1 teardown year.
@@Lobanium It's remarkable what Poles has been able to do given the situation he walked into. Pace left the org an absolute dumpster fire with no draft capital and terrible contracts. Poles has drafted incredibly well and pulled off one of the biggest fleeces in NFL history in the panthers trade. If Caleb is even close to being the player he is supposed to be this should be a playoff team this season.
King Poles did it again!
Thats my GM!!!
I don’t want offensive “balance”. I wanna see Caleb air it out!
IN POLES WE TRUST!! 🐻 down babyy
In Poles we trust
Poles finally started listening to the fans that wanted a winning franchise
Aj hawk looks like the best softball player on the high-school team.
Chicago put NFC on notice 🐻🙌🔥
IN POLES WE TRUST 🐻⬇
hearing he stopped taking calls on Caleb and kept taking calls for Justin speaks volume. I didn’t like the Justin trade but after hearing this, i’m not as sour about it 😭 Hence why i’m not a GM though
Caleb Williams is doing everything correctly so far. Marvin harrison jr the exact opposite
Notice how Marv hasn't had anywhere near the criticism Caleb has? People have such weird obsession with hating Caleb just because he's confident.
If he wasn’t so good at drafting this year I would have said and I really did believe this Right after the Trade happened where I said He just made the worst mistake so far of his career By Trading Justin Fields but know I’m looking back a bit and seeing that he’s plan to ensure immediate success for Caleb Was so dam Genius.
That hat is SICK, GM!
While it's still not a guarantee that Caleb and this new offense under Waldron is a success, but here's why I feel better compared to Trubisky/Fields: 1) Caleb is simply the better QB prospect than those two were and he also has the best arm of the three (you can't teach that!) 2) Unlike Pace who waited until after the QB was drafted, Poles actually has solid "foundation" for his young QB as noted below: Trubisky > had a very poor & new OC in Loggains, had a decent OL, so-so defense, but these were his WRs his rookie year (Wright, Bellamy, Inman, & Cohen) Fields > also had a poor & new OC in Getsy, a bad OL, so-so defense, and while AR12 was on the team, this was his "lost year" and was never the same after it! While losing what was a shadow of what AR12 was, Fields's best WR was our 2020 5th round pick Mooney that year, but he never followed up after that season! Williams > has a proven/experienced OC in Waldron this time, a decent OL, a promising defense, and the best assortment of weapons I've ever seen on a Bears roster! We're talking arguably the most talented WR trio in the league (Moore/Allen/Odunze), a solid TE duo (Kmet/Everett), and a solid RB trio (Swift/Herbert/Johnson).
King Poles!!! go bears!!
The Myrtle Beach 🏝️ pick carries on. ⛳️
Get you someone who talks about you the way Poles talks about Caleb. Bro is literally always so proud of that dude I swear. Cracks me up how bullish he is about him hahaha
Bear Dahn!
Love Fields but it was a no brainer. The GM reset the qb clock with a highly rated qb. Wish him the best.
EBERFLUS needs to learn for when Waldron leaves to be a coach.
Poles built a super team theres no way this fails right, RIGHT 😂😂
Greatest trade in NFL history and it's still not done!! Second round pick next year could bring in another solid starter for years to come. Hope all the Poles naysayers are over themselves.
Maybe but the Herchel Walker trade was pretty good
👑 Poles 🐻⬇️
Cant love Poles more. Hes a genius. This is the best thing to happen to the bears in 40 years
In poles we trust!!!!
🐻⬇️
With all these good moves lately hopefully the next one will be Poles forcing Eberflus to end his Velus Jones obsession...
Bears look impressive... on paper 🐻
Even with the 3rd easiest schedule, I still have to pick the Bears 3rd
i dont think anyone cares about that
Big pole poles!
deandre smith is now a WR??
They got Swift labeled as a wr he a rb
I want that hat
I HAVE ZERO IDEA HOW WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE THIS MAN! He’s made mistakes (he’s new to the role and human) but he’s not stubborn. He doesn’t double down when it’s obvious things aren’t working.
Why is there a Lombardi trophy behind him!? From KC I assume... I hope that's not in the front office and at his home office.
Bears have won the Super Bowl genius
@@twostop6895 In 1985. Yes you are correct sir and or ma'am. I am pretty sure you have never seen it based on your comment. Have you been to the main lobby in Halas Hall?
Easily the best GM the Bears have had since the legendary Jim Finks.
Poles can i get that hoodie and hat
The chicago bears think that they are going to the super bowl 😂 On paper they have a fantastic team. We'll see what happens when they get on the field though
❤️🐻👇 hello Ryan Poles. This is what i say. We have the MAO that goes on the bread. It's spelled wrong for a reason.
KING POLES/FGB/BEAR DOWN
Poles is a baddddd! Mofo 😂😂😂 we goin to the bowl baby 🎉🎉
Ryan Poles slight eye roll when asked to talk to Warren. Hmmm
and the fields cult said they were listening to offers… 🤣🤣🤣
Ryan Poles only mistake as Bears GM was Chase Claypool
I’d settle for 9 wins and a W over Green Bay lol
