A guy who the Bears at one point in time were going to hire to be their starting quarterback at one point in time.

But hey, man, don't think of Russell now.

Remember Russell in his prime, and that's a comp that I will take.

Well, yeah, and it's Salah offering that comp up and then almost catching himself and being like, well, Caleb may even be better than that.

You know what I mean?

And that's what catches your attention because Russell Wilson went to two Super Bowls.

You know, Russell Wilson had the Seahawks in the playoffs every single year.

If you're signing up for that existence from a quarterback at QB1, like auto-subscribe, auto-renew, you know, just keep it going for as long as it'll possibly go.

Absolutely.

Good stuff there from Robert Sala, now the head coach of the Tennessee Titans.

Another thing, Dan, that you and I have spoken about constantly before this season, during this season, and after this season is sustained success.

It was a great year last year, but what might have the Bears general manager, Ryan Poles, have to say about the idea of, hey, go to the playoffs two years in a row.

Is that possible, Mr. Poles?

Yeah, I mean, this is a theme that you and I are going to hammer on, right, for the next several months and even beyond.

And so, look, we understand the history of this organization.

We understand that it's way back in the 80s was the last time they had three consecutive winning seasons.

And so trying to figure that out is something that Ryan Poles is responsible for and all the coaches and players as well.

But here's what the general manager had to say on that very topic.

Your riddle for the Bears is how do you sustain a season like last year?

What did you see from last year that gives you the most belief that, okay, the momentum is very real?
