Final Thoughts
It is unclear if this team can make a run to the Super Bowl, but this team has the best chance to do so. The way the offense is currently playing under Bill Lazor looks tough to stop and with the right defensive coordinator, this Bears’ defense will be nearly impossible to move the ball against.
Doing these moves not only strengthen the Bears immediately, but it also gives them developmental pieces that the Bears can build around. This team could easily make a run next season if everything goes right.
