Jordan Schultz: Bears Job is a Two-Horse Race Between Mike McCarthy and Ben Johnson

I'm not sure about that. Joe seems to possess a very solid offensive mind. Think about this. The two places where he was successful (LSU) he had Joe Burrow and Buffalo he's got Josh Allen.

He struggled with not much to work with in Carolina. I'm not sure he's ready for the top spot yet.

This is false and there's a thread that details why. A common theme is that QB's and even RB's have had career years under Joe Brady. Burrow wasn't much until Joe Brady. Under Brady something clicked for him. In Carolina, Terry Bridgewater and Mike Davis had career years until they went with Sam Darnold. Then in Buffalo he takes over a struggling Buffalo Bills offense and Josh Allen immediately goes from an overrated QB in 2023 to MVP level play.

In two years in Carolina he had only 1 down year, and there's reason to suspect that was more Matt Rhule putting stipulations on practices. Rhule explicitly in an article wanted offenses practicing middle of field plays and not redzone. The interesting thing about that is Joe Brady notoriously practiced red zone with his offenses both at LSU before Matt Rhule and after with the Bills.

At most you can say that Brady was trying something new, it didn't work out so he pivoted to something that did work, which is a big sign of growth. But there's reason to suspect Matt Rhule was involved in that down year at Carolina.
