The Chicago Bears did what they had to do on Thursday night. They fought, clawed, and battled their way to a 16-13 victory against the Carolina Panthers. It wasn’t pretty. The offense was disjointed and out of rhythm most of the night. The defense played well but dropped three interceptions. It was an ugly win that didn’t answer many questions about where this team is going. However, it did answer one. The Bears’ prospects for the 2024 draft improved. By beating Carolina, they ensured the Panthers’ 1st round pick (which they own) is still positioned to secure the #1 spot in the draft. Apparently, somebody forgot to tell Colin Cowherd.
The longtime radio host is notorious for his hot takes over the years. Some of them carry weight from time to time. However, there are several instances where it feels like Cowherd’s information is far from complete. Never was that clearer than during his latest show. He declared that because the Bears had beaten Carolina, it took them out of the sweepstakes for landing top 2024 quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Drake Maye. There is no way Chicago’s pick will be high enough.
He clearly didn’t know the Bears also held Carolina’s pick. Not a great look.
This is just so dumb – Colin Cowherd says that the #Bears are out of the Caleb Williams, Drake Mayer sweepstakes because they beat the #Panthers last night and are now "Too good."
Firing off hot takes is nothing new. People covering sports have done it for years. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion. However, it’s essential to at least have accurate data supporting that opinion. You host a popular program on a national platform. To get outright exposed like this is downright unacceptable. Even casual fans knew the situation regarding the Bears and the Panthers’ 1st round pick next year. It was common knowledge. Adam Schefter even tweeted about it before the game. All of it flew right over the guy’s head.
It seems this is karmic justice for all the other horrible takes Colin Cowherd has produced over the years. Getting some egg on his smug face might humble him a bit. Not that the Bears care. Their goals were achieved. They won a game to reach the same total from last season while maintaining a grip on that coveted top draft slot next year. It was a productive night. Cowherd taking heat for having no clue what he’s talking about was merely a bonus.
