The Bears Clubhouse Culture Is FINALLY Great And Players Want To Be A Part Of It

s

I’ll start by saying I’m far from some astute football mind that’s adept in breaking down tape of any position.  Basically if you’re not picking off 10 balls a year or throwing for 35 TDs or rushing for 1000 yards, I tend not to notice you unless you’re getting absolutely roasted as a DB or a revolving door at OL.

That said, help me out here.  Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is a solid NFL safety.  Right?  I mean he was rated the 20th best FA available by Pro Football Focus and 5th best safety, but you obviously can’t look at that in a vacuum due to it being a salary cap league.  Amos, as steady as he is, just signed for $28MM guaranteed over 3 years.  Compare that to the 1/$3.5MM that HHCD just signed for and it’s a no brainer… you sign HHCD all day, every day.  Sure Amos is probably “better” but not at that rate.  Not whatsoever.

Walter Football gave the signing an A++ for this very reason:

But that’s not really what’s awesome about the last few Bears signings.  They already have their core, now they need the glue guys.  The guys that will buy into the organizational vision and aren’t there to be the stars, they’re there to win a goddamn Super Bowl.  No egos, no bullshit.  Just give them as many Club Dub celebrations as possible.  That’s what HHCD is trying to do this year (while also bridging himself to a potentially BIG payday, truthbetold) and that’s what Cordarelle Patterson wants to be a part of as well:

It’s so, so refreshing.  It’s been a bad stretch of years since Lovie Smith but Ryan Pace… ya dun did well my friend.  The 180 flip you did with this organizational culture is straight up masterful.  There is obvious talent at every position on the field, but that doesn’t mean shit unless each and every member of the 53 man buys into the culture you’ve built off it.  And that’s what players are now doing.  They want to win in Chicago, ego/money/personal statistics aside.  And that’s an awesome feeling for fans

Now let’s go win a goddamn Super Bowl.
