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.
Look, you’re either open to Justin proving he’s the future or you aren’t. If you are, it’s obviously best if we trade out of the 1 or 2 spot while prioritizing Harrison. Our roster is, honestly, not that bad, and he would immediately make Justin’s job so much easier. If he doesn’t prove himself, it’s not smart to prioritize a great WR prospect over a great QB project, but we will potentially have high enough picks to address both.
If you’re done with Justin, no matter how he performs, then I understand not wanting Harrison, but, again, we should have two top 5 picks. We can get both.
So I don’t understand the argument. The Lions were terrible his entire tenure, but it’s not because he wasn’t worth the money. Dude was a cheat code. In the event we don’t need a QB, he is the best player in the draft who fits an area of need.
