00:00Think about, what would you say, Matt, was Ryan Pohl's public approval rating,
00:03job approval rating, when he drafted Caleb Williams just six, seven months ago?
00:0795%.
00:09Yep.
00:10And now?
00:12He's less than 50.
00:14I would say about 51% positive.
00:17I don't even know if it's that right now, which is crazy.
00:19I would say 45, maybe, with the public.
00:22I think he's just above water, but barely.
00:25It's a big change.
00:26Yes, it is.
00:28And I'll tell you, when your boss has to come out and say,
00:32hey, this guy, hey, listen, I'm serious.
00:34I'm not kidding.
00:35You're not going to find out later that we just sent this guy out here
00:39and then changed our minds by lunchtime.
00:41He's not fired.
00:42Everybody, he's not fired.
00:44Ryan Pohl's is not fired.
00:46Once it hits the point where they have to say that, they only say it once.
00:51They're only saying that one time.
00:53So that is in one swoop.
00:57That is reassurance and a warning.
01:00Like, hey, this is it.
01:02And for Ryan Pohl's, there's a lot on both sides of the ledger with Ryan Pohl's.
01:06And in my analysis, more good than bad still.
01:11And the quarterback looks right, which is huge and basically never an ace for the Bears.
01:17But that was a no-brainer.
01:18That's profound in itself.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Yeah.
01:21But the trade to get there.
01:22I mean, absolutely.
01:23Some of that worked out well.
01:24But that's why I still have him at 51%.
01:28Because of the trade.
01:29If we made a ledger, I might have him kind of more around where you are, Lawrence.
01:33I was trying to gauge what I think the public perception is right now.
01:37I think more good than bad on Ryan Pohl's ledger.
01:40But all of that being said, he has been very conservative, very deliberate in the rebuild.
01:45And the results have crept along.
01:48If at all, they're going to have a hard time getting to 7-10, which was their record just
01:52last year.
