Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers Rebuilding Plan

Bears would be a playoff team if trubisky were less limited. Allen Robinson would be a top 5 wr with a good qb aND their defense would be way better if their offense could kill clock and give them a rest.

Lesson is don't hitch your wagon to QBs who are mediocre ex. Winston, trubisky, mariota, Goff etc... as soon as teams clue in on taking away the slot receiver and running game by stacking the box it's over.

This thread and the Kyle Shanahan vs Sean McVay thread lol

The same people so giddy about 9ers losing and making comments on McVay and Nagys greatness have gotten awfully quiet.

That Baalke is a top 5 GM and Tomsula is a great teacher.

Given that the Bears started rebuilding the same time we did (2017), I thought this would be a fun topic to track over the years. ShanaLynch seem poised to "build their way out of this through the draft." I'm much more partial to the Bears plan (balance of draft + younger free agents) per my annual off season plans (for us).

Chicago Bears:


So on offense, they drafted 10 players and added 6 free agents. On defense, they drafted 9 and added 5 free agents.

16 'starters' were added on offense and defense in 2017 & 2018.

Their average age 25.6 puts them as one of the 10th youngest teams currently. They only have two players making over $9.6M (Robinson & Mack). They currently have $19.3M in cap space before the expected $10M+ increase.

Currently, their collective defense, at a 77.5 average PFF grade, is outstanding (Fangio + Donatell). Their offense, is naturally, behind them but rising each week (Nagy).

Year 2 of the rebuild:
Current record: 7-3 / 1st Place
Projected record: 10-6 / Playoffs / 1st Place Division
Playoff prediction: 1 playoff win

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's hard to compare strategies given our perpetual injuries (had to add more 'starters') esp. with the loss of Jimmy Garoppolo but here is your snapshot in time:

San Francisco 49ers:


So on offense, they drafted 10 players and added 8 free agents. On defense, they drafted 9 and added 4 free agents.

33 'starters' were added on offense and defense in 2017 & 2018.

Their average age 25.9 puts them as one of the 10th youngest teams currently. They only have one player making over $10M (Staley). They currently have a projected carryover cap total of $65,419,090 for 2019.

Currently, the collective defense, at a 58.2 average PFF grade, is very poor. Their offense at 71.1 is above average.

Year 2 of the rebuild:
Current record: 2-8 / Last Place
Projected record: 3-13 / #1 Draft Pick / Last Place Division
Playoff prediction: None

Tomsula the D-line coach or Tomsula the HC?

How is this team 7-6 with their HC/QB? Real question.
