Why do you think Bo Nix looks better than he is? Sam Darnold was a disaster early on but now he looks really good with O’Connell. Baker was a bust 2 years ago but now he’s a very good QB. Same with Jared Goff.
The Bears need to do whatever possible to get Ben Johnson, Slowik Jr or any offensive innovator hired to help this kid.

I agree. One of the points I meant to make above is that coaches are in the positions they are in because they supposedly have the experience and detachment to handle decisions like those rather than your ROOKIE QB. If the head coach and the rest of the coaching staff are so caught up in the moment that they couldn't handle the end-of-game situation with time running out, then they should be replaced with a staff that is capable of doing that.
ETA - It is truly incredible to see Eberflus is saying that he thinks they handled that situation the right way. A coach that stupid really needs to be fired. When I was flying in the Air Force we had dumbass moments happen too. When called by air traffic control to find out what the hell we were doing, we'd reply "training in progress." Everyone knew you were screwing up and it was a way to admit doing so. Obviously Eberflus is unwilling even to admit that they made a mistake.
