  1. I've heard him on the Dan Patrick Show. He seems to know his stuff and not bitter about his failure as a QB.
  2. Heard that on Carmen and Yerko ESPN Chicago. But I guess he did play at Cal
  3. He is a USC alum, has a home in SoCal, so not a surprise he was there. But I get the joke. 😆
  4. Yes, the new guy must "play their ‘cajones out’" and do better than Justin's 10-28 record. LOL
  5. This. And also evry other team's evaluation of him in the league. Look, I like Justin, but he just is not a starting NFL QB at this point. Three years in and he NEVER took over any game and so often fell apart in the fourth quarter. Good luck to him, but time for my team to look for a true QB that can take us to the next level. Did Poles get fleeced? I don't believe so given the market. Should we have kept Fields and draft the next QB? That would have caused so much doubt and whispering that would have ripped the team apart. Will the new QB struggle? Probably, but the expectation is he'll have the ability to be great. Justin had three years and didn't show it. Now we move on to a new QB era everyone, like it or not.
  6. Just a gut feeling that Harbaugh breaks that streak.
  7. Bottom line: Until we have a solid QB we ain't winning anything. Use that no. 1 on the best QB this year and paly with that no. 9 pick. What a unique and great position we're in for the draft.
  8. Agree with you, Alaskan. And just can't wrap my head around Mongo's "logic".
  9. I think it's not a good argument to say we've failed previously in selecting a QB with the first pick so when one comes available that is much more highly touted than any since Andrew Luck or Peyton Manning, we should stick our heads in the sand and let some other team have him. To be great ya gotta take the swings. I see this as such an opportunity. We've got that no. 9 pick as well. What a great spot to be in. Don't f it up by worrying about possible failure. What about total success and a Super Bowl with a great QB? And that's to Jason's point about HOPE.
  10. So one senario would be the Aaron Rogers/Jorden Love one? Okay. Sounds a bit off with the Bears.
  11. I just don't think Fields has the next level in him as a QB. He has skill, but another year of "improve around him and "the Fields will look better" will just be another of our franchise failures you alluded to earlier.
  12. So we're hopeless, why follow the Bears as your team?
  13. Hold it, we've got two young and improving Tackles, cap space for free agents and draft capital. The OL will be better and I'd rather see a new QB with better skills than more of the same with Fields. And if what you say is true, then Fields was a lost cause two years ago, so why keep him longer, based on your arguement?
  14. Trubisky, Fields, franchise history with QBs is about to change. Poles, with the Panthers' pick, hass set us up with a once-in-a-franchise opportunity. He has the first pick in a QB heavy draft, and he has the 9th pick as well. If poles thinks one of the QBs is even a smidge bit better than Fields, its a done deal and he'll take him. THAT is how you change the course of a team that struggles for mediocrity at the position. Tom Waddle said today that great QBs make the surrounding players better, but surrounding a so-so QB with more talent doesn't improve the team. I think Poles has the right plan.
  15. Imagine passing on a QB that's better than Justin and the Bears continuing to lose games because our QB can't lead a fourth quarter rally. Hey, we are doing that now. So, given our position, I'm hoping Poles gets us a new QB that, for the least, we can win some of those games in the fourth quarter.
  16. Great thing for us is that we have the first pick, our choice of the litter AND pick nine as well. What's the odds that, if we trade out of no. 1, we end up with the first pick over-all next year? Highly unlikely. That's why I'm in for drafting QB with that first pick. And we could also trade pick 9, depending on how the cards play out. This is our once-in-a-generation drafting opportunity and I feel confident in Pole's to get it right.
  17. Ouch! But I was thinking the same thing. And that's why I'm for drafting the QB with the first pick as opposed to trading--though the prospect for a trasure-trove is tempting. We need a reliable QB to bring back the Bears to NFL contention.
  18. Right. Going to be a very interesting offseason and, as we've done for ages, hope springs eternal. LOL
  19. Hey, he's only had three years. we should give him more time, right? Sarcasm. Draft a QB at no. 1 and move forward now with the base Poles has put together.

    Super Bowl

    Well, that definitely would eliminate Fields for Bruce.
  21. Inmates running the asylum. I trust Poles is capable of making a great decision on draft day and thta he'll consider all of the noise and do his homework. And yes, that will include players' input, but he's taking a different perspective on the choice that players/former players.
  22. Most "talented" yes, but definitely not the most winning nor who you want when trailing late in the game. Athleticism is awesome, but the ability to read D and release quick is better at the QB position.
  23. Fields problem is he holds the ball too long and he hasn't won a game with a final, come from behind drive. Opposing D's know he holds the ball too long and that dooms the Bears to mediocrity. Right now I'm a definite draft a QB at one. We are in such a unique position: good young talent, great outlook for the D next season, great cap situation and another pick in the top 10. I trust Poles assessment of draft talent so I wan a new QB with one of our two no. 1. But, I'll just read something or listen to sports radio and I'm sure I'll filp-flop before the draft. But either way, we are in a great position.
