The Chicago Bears have announced that Luke Getsy, the offensive coordinator, has been removed of his duties. The changes will take effect on Wednesday. He came to Chicago to work with quarterback Justin Fields and lead the Bears offense to unprecedented heights in franchise history after working as the quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers. He was fired by the Bears and they are going forward after two seasons with no fresh additions.
What the Bears want to accomplish with the offense going forward—particularly at quarterback—is still unknown. However, it’s clear that a lot needs to change if they want to improve and contend for titles in the future.
The Bears are the charter franchise in the NFL. They are recognized in their legendary past for inventing the forward pass, which transformed and altered football for a number of generations. They are the only team in the NFL without ever having a quarterback throw for more than 4,000 yards, despite being the ones who invented the modern quarterback position.
The only method to overcome that humiliating statistic is to adapt to the current state of the game’s evolution. Getsy was by no means the last step in making the necessary adjustments, but it was an obvious place to start. The Bears’ potential for success in 2023–2024 was restrained by other offensive players. Before the next season starts, these three Bears ought to be following him out the door.
Chicago’s Darnell Mooney Not as Successful as Expected
Particularly during the last season, there were a lot of people hoping that wide receiver Darnell Mooney would finally break through. We knew there was promise, but we never knew when we’d see it. It was anticipated that Mooney would see increased vertical action in 2023–2024, particularly when paired with standout receiver DJ Moore, to cause his stats to soar. Historic stats for Mooney and the Bears offense were discussed. Sadly, it wasn’t the situation.
The Bears selected Mooney in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. With Justin Fields emerging as the quarterback of the future and producing a 1,000-yard season in 2021, Chicagoans were eager to watch this partnership blossom into what could be the most dynamic duo in Bears history. However, it appears that things aren’t going to pan out that way after Mooney finished under 500 yards in each of the previous two years.
