I think the Bears fan base is very divided right now.
You’re either in the camp or keep Fields and trade back / build up the lines
Or draft a QB with 1 and roll the dice on him being the answer
What if there’s another way?
Picture the Cutler trade on steroids (and hopefully a better long term result)
Would the Chargers do it? While Herbert has been very good, the Chargers have underachieved as a team and maybe they would want to draft the local guy, Caleb Williams?
Are there any other QB’s in the league that are realistic options for the bears to inquire about?
Trevor Lawrence might be on the table, but I haven’t seen enough out of him to do that deal
What do you think, Bears fans?

No. Justin Herbert is not an elite qb, and he is being paid like an elite qb. I would also not give up the chance to draft a potentially elite qb to overpay a top 10ish qb.
It’s statistically unlikely a draft pick will be better than him. It is more likely that caleb williams will be better than him than herbert will ever win a superbowl.
Herbert gets mentioned in the top tier of qbs when he is more like the kirk cousins tier. And honestly, cousins is better at playing quarterback. Not as athletic, sure, but that’s all everyone calling herbert a surefire top 5 qb is doing is projecting his potential because he has a strong arm.
I say this while fully cognisant of the fact that he would be the best quarterback in bears history. LA would also never make that trade.
100%. No question. He’s a top 10 QB.
I would but the Chargers aren’t dumb enough to do that. Herbert is a top 5 QB.
Would the Chargers do it?
No
You don’t know that! The number 1 overall pick could be anything, even a Justin Herbert!
Beautiful! I’ve thought about this exact line so many times reading through all these absurd draft scenarios.
We could offer them every pick we have this year and they’d say no while laughing
Why would the Chargers trade like the only good part about their team?
They also got a Bosa who probably thinks Chicago is a little to dark for his tastes.
Maybe they want to recreate the second chapter of trading Drew Brees 😁
Would I do it yes. Would the chargers no.
End thread
No. He got Carson Wentz in him.
I think both sides would be dumb to make that trade. Herbert is a proven franchise QB, Williams and Maye are unproven but have more upside. If you’re the bears, you go with the rookie QB contract window, if you’re the chargers you stick with your franchise QB.
Yes I would do that but they absolutely won’t
Let’s sign Kirk cousins and draft MHJ and then the best available player.
Did this subreddit collectively lose half their braincells this weekend? The posts here in the last 24 hours are insane lmao
No shit you make that trade if the Chargers were dumb enough to want it.
Not to even mention he just got a new contract.
I would do that in a heartbeat
The Chargers would never, ever do this. This was asked a while ago about the Vikings and Jefferson and even they wouldn’t do that.
I’m not sure the Cards would even do it for Kyler, and he’s a worse player with a bit of an albatross of a contract.
I would trade the 2024 Panthers pick, the 2024 Bears pick, and the 2025 1st round pick for Herbert and be thankful to have the best QB in Bears history and in the division for the next 10 years.
