CJ Stroud looks absolutely amazing and on a team that I would say is on par with our roster at best.

Poles said all along he needed to be blown away to stick at #1 and take a QB last year. By the time the combine rolled around he all but announced to the world the pick was for sale. I understand Fields showed flashes towards the end of last year and that played into that decision.

Fast forward to now and Stroud is blowing everyone away.

I think it’s fair to question what our staff missed on Stroud to be out on him immediately and whether or not we should be worried about them making the next decision on who our QB is.

20/20 hindsight – I would much rather have Stroud instead of the DJ Moore package and it’s not even close. Give me a franchise QB and figure out the rest of the line and WRs after that.

    This is the sanest response on here. Poles was not selected as GM due to a body of past work. He was picked because he was going to do things differently, which pretty clearly in Chicago means finding the QB that none of your predecessors have been able to find.

    Not at all saying it’s his “fault,” but it is absolutely fair to question what type of work they did that made them say “yeah, Stroud isn’t our guy.”
