polecatt 170 Posted March 16 The Bears showing why they haven't had a good QB since Sid Luckman Dalton is an excellent back up but he shouldn't be the starter on a team that wants to win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 1,123 Posted March 18 The Trib left town, he’s now a back up with the Bills. Thats a very good move from him and for the Bills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have Dalton because that is who they could afford. They have to cut players who are viable because they don't have the space. I hope everyone is enjoying that trade for Kalil Mack which was all about GM shot to save his job for a couple of more years even though he knew Trubisky could never get it done at that point (yeah they knew, they watched him in practice every day) plus trading away any chance a future GM would have of replacing Trubisky while giving Mack a market contract that not even Gruden was willing to................those couple of years where the Bears looked like a rising team were a castle built on sand and it really was clear at the time to anyone who looked beyond the headlines. It's not Trubisky's fault that he's not superman BTW, it's all about Ryan Pace, worst capital allocator I've ever seen bar none, but heh, you can get yourself GM of the year if you are willing to go all in with someone else' money and f$ck the future for every body else. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.        Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.        I hated the hiring from day 1. Everyone equated Ryan Pace coming from the Saints as instant success. I saw it as coming from a team who has wasted the potential of an all time great qb. The Saints had some down years while Pace was there The Bears ownership is cheap. They always have been. Thats why him and Nagy kept their jobs this year, despite the undeniable evidence that they both suck. Now they have to cut one of the best corners in the history of the franchise to make room for Andy Dalton.... find me someone who thinks this is a good swap. I want to know who I never can trust with a football opinion ever again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The team is a very good team. Shows what happens when you mess up on QB. I think Trubisky will make a nice living for himself at the very least. He came out after freshmen or sophmore year right? Didn't have the grooming although many teams thought highly of him. If he would have been in a similar situation like Rodgers sitting on the bench behind Favre for years, who knows?

And possible he was just never THAT good in the first place. A lot more guys HAVE potential than REACH their potential. He's a solid backup quality journeyman NFL QB, but it's sad to see the QBs on the board when he was picked...

It's sad to see Watson going thru his crap. May not have been a great pick after all. Who knows? But also, there were a lot of teams that passed on those later QBs. There were questions about all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
