CHGO Chicago Bears Podcast

There's no question that Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson are the two most important pieces to the Chicago Bears' success. But if you had to give up one, which one would you give up? Is the Quarterback the most important thing to a team's success or did Johnson prove how big of a difference a coach can make in one year? Later, we dive into our discord for questions from our Diehards. Plus, we're joined by Phil Mackey, Ring Leader of SKOR North, for insight on the Vikings this offseason. Are they due for progression or further regression? Join Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
