Call me whatever you want, but again I will say the Bears should not take a QB this draft.
“Oh u/chadder_b is just another Fields Truther!
Let’s stop there. I’m not saying Fields is the guy. I’m not saying he will turn the franchise around. But let’s list some facts:
Drafting Williams/Maye will give us a rookie contract.
Cool. We already have one. Yes I know only for another year but Fields can be picked up for his 5th at a cheaper rate than signing him outright. Also Fields in under-performing right now. Signing him to his next contract wouldn’t be Mahomes/Burrow/Allen money.
He a generational talent!
So was Luck. So was RG3. So will many other people who come along in the future. Williams is being dubbed “The next Mahomes” but it’s only a handful of years until that label is slapped on someone else coming out of college. It will come around again. Let’s not forget that Mahomes himself wasn’t highly rated coming out of college.
This team isn’t “a QB away” from anything.
This team needs depth. O-line is improving yes but the defense can’t stop anybody it seems. I’m sure Williams would love to have 2 years of what could be the worst defense in college to having yet again another one of the worst defenses.
Gain draft picks. Gain players. Gain depth. Having 2 first round picks this year can turn into 2 more against next year. Maybe more. If this team is picking high again in 2025, then move on.

Besides Bagent seems to be very serviceable.
