Just a reminder to the people saying to get MHJ and figure out the qb situation later just how little an all time great, if not the greatest wide receiver ever, has on winning if you don’t have a decent quarterback. As great as MHJ might be the return he offers isn’t even a fraction to as much as if Maye or Caleb end up being great or even just good. The potential return on investment is just too much to pass up with a qb draft this highly touted.

If the Bears have a top 2 pick they aren’t even going to consider MHJ, the only chance is if the Panthers drop to 3 or later where you consider him and then a qb later with our pick.

          Emmitt Smith has a better resume than almost every RB that doesn’t make him the best RB. Calvin retired young because he understands life is more than football.

          I’d take him over everyone on that list but Rice and Moss, and including names like Carter, Smith, Wayne and Harrison is insulting.

          You think it’s just a coincidence two of those players played their whole career with Manning?

            And calvin johnson had stafford who feeds the hell out of his wr1, plumping up cj’s volume stats that are still leagues behind everyone else’s.

            CJ retiring early doesn’t make him better. If mahomes retired early he’d still be behind brady, even if he arguably had a higher peak. And if you really want to extrapolate to what he could have done had he stayed, then there’s a case to be made that justin Jefferson is better than CJ was because he is already ahead of where CJ was at this point in his career.

            Having megatron as your #3 is like having sean mcvay as your third best coach of all time or kurt warner as your third best qb.

            Emmit smith is better than barry sanders too.
