weepaws 2,512 Posted January 26 Why, why should the Bears be given the opportunity to destroy another drafted qbs career, I think they should only be allowed to pick up f/a like the Minshew of the world. Dear Bears please don’t ruined another young QBs career. Shame on you Bears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLCKAA 420 Posted January 26 Bears are in a really interesting position. They could theoretically trade a top 5 pick to a needy team, replacing it in the same draft and gaining another high pick in the subsequent draft, indefinitely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,963 Posted January 26 Passing on Williams or Maye to stockpile more picks would be insane. At some point you need to take a shot at a franchise QB despite the risk he doesn’t work out. Coming out of this draft with a TE and Bo Nix would be a calamity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 1,292 Posted January 26 College Q.B.'s are a crap shoot. They have a Q.B. who has shown improvement and promise. Use this draft to surround him with Offensive linemen and some dynamic playmakers at W.R. and or T.E. and see what the kid has truely got. Fields with a line and some weapons or Williams with neither. I would go fields. BTW, if they started properly using Kmet and Big Bob Tonyan that cluld be a dynamic duo.

Also this narrative is hilarious. Their OL might not be very good. But weapons? DJ More is a 1st round pick. Fields cant throw yet Moore almost had 1400 yds on the year. The backup QB was in for weeks. Kmet is a 2nd round TE. He finished as the 7th fantasy TE. Mooney is a former 1000 yard WR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Schroeder was a 1000 yard reciever yet he was not really a weapon. DJ Moore has always underperformed his promise, though he has some promise. Kmet needs to be used more, along with Big Bob Tonyan. That could maybe happen if the Bears had an o-line. As a Packer fan I hope the Bears become impatient again and scrap their plan and move in a new direction with Williams. I am glad the packers did not get impatient with Love who i defended from the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
