Only posting this because I see this discussion constantly on this sub

I sincerely believe that the bears organization makes QB’s worse. There is simply something about their internal philosophy at Halas Hall that disrupts growth of would be great players.

I am not a football expert, just calling it like I see it. For example, had Patrick Mahomes come to Chicago, I genuinely believe he would be significantly less respected today - and it would be almost entirely the fault of the Chicago bears organization. (Or disorganization, rather)

If you believe that basic concept, then it honestly doesn’t matter who we draft. (Or don’t) It isn’t even a debate really, we have the worst (the NFL worst) history of QB’s in Chicago. The bears used 35 starting quarterbacks during the Farve/Rodgers era…

Our legacy is literally drafting a new QB every 3 years, ruining his career, and taking a desperate shot in the dark in hopes for a different result using the same methods. This has been happening for decades

Honestly, if I were a QB getting drafted by the Bears, it would feel like a death sentence.

Every new QB we draft, I see people question “Are the Bears hurting his devolvement?” Bro of course we are - that seems to be the ONE thing the McCaskeys are good at.

So, seriously - does it matter AT ALL who we draft or don’t? Why are we even talking about it anymore? There is an illness that runs so deep within the bears organization that I truly do not think even the best QB would make a difference.

    I think Williams’ stock will dip quite a bit once draft season revs up. Not sure how much it changes him as a prospect, but things began to unravel at the end there this season. In his defense, the overall culture at USC under Lincoln Riley seems pretty awful right now and a lot of it probably isn’t Caleb’s fault. I’m just adding this context because draft rankings are notorious for not really updating until the season is over, and I’m positive the discourse around him will change once more people start watching this year’s film. He definitely still has the best tools, but he didn’t have the same polish other QBs showed as the year progressed.

    Personally I still like the idea of taking him, but I’d want him to sit and learn a year while we still have Justin under contract.
