1. Will there be baby steps or major strides?

What kind of progress are we going to see from the Bears this spring? The Bears can’t go anywhere but up, but will we see a team that’s ready to win 6-8 games and make a bowl game or will it just be one that only shows the potential to be a 3-5 win team?

Will we see baby steps from the Bears or major strides? If Matt Rhule’s return and turning down of NFL jobs is any indication, the Bears are ready for a major uptick in wins. Anything is better than one victory, but the Bears made some strides near the end of the 2017 season and return a solid team with guys like Denzel Mims, Ira Lewis and Charlie Brewer.

There seems to be a solid comeback plan in place and Rhule is prepared to show just how far his team has come on April 21 during the annual spring game.

Unfortunately, the team will not be at full-strength with some big names out of commission, but fans and coaches will get a good idea of just how far this team has come from last season’s 1-11 disaster.
