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?
Nope. We don’t have the coaching or play calling. The only people that could survive in our system currently as a QB would be a solid vet who doesn’t need help with their growth, and can stand up to bad coaching and play calling. Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins, or even Matt Stafford would work. Anyone that “has potential” won’t work for our current system, because the coaching and play calling are going to kill that potential. This is why we have two QB’s with potential, but neither are playing well.
Since Halas dies this team as struggled with ownership issues. They hire cheap coaches and GMs with little to no experience. They struggle with front office decision making. Really it was the death of Papa Bear that started us on our downward slope. The last person Halas hired was Ditka in 1982. Papa died in 1983, we won the 1985 season with the team that Papa built, and since that time we struggled.
We need new ownership, which hopefully will bring a better front office, and hopefully better coaching. I don’t think we see another SB under McCaskey ownership. 2006 was a fluke.
