Matt Nagy

Optimist: With a quality quarterback, running game and tight end in place, Nagy finally finds his Andy Reid groove, inventively using Tarik Cohen, Cordarrelle Patterson and Eddie Jackson to befuddle opposing defensive coordinators and take the Bears’ offense to a new level — top five in the NFL in points and yards.

Pessimist: Without a quality quarterback, running game and tight end in place, Nagy’s inability to build his own offense continues to be exposed, his playcalling becomes even more confused and even his best suit — culture-building — comes into question as player impatience becomes more overt. Year 3 defines him as the problem and not the solution.
