With a new GM, a fairly large amount of available cap space and the free-agency surplus neatly matching up with the team’s greatest positional need, the Chicago Bears are—dare I say it—in a prime position to win a Super Bowl.

I’ve never been satisfied with the Bears merely making playoff appearances. Losing in the playoffs is still losing. I thank Da Coach for instilling that “Super Bowl or bust” mentality in me.
While I’ve written a negative column about the choice of Phil Emery, this will be the counterpoint—the positive article about how Phil Emery will be basking in a ticker-tape parade next year at this time.
In fact, this article will be so positive, Emery can overcome all of Lovie Smith’s coaching shortcomings and still get the team to the Promised Land.

To invoke a particular beer slogan, here we go.
