It wasn't me. I had actually never heard of him until a week before that draft. I liked what saw though...

I'm a big Watson fan too. I just don't think he has Trubisky's upside.

The best part of this thread is that only one side of the debate will have any data to support the future argument. If Trubisky succeeds, they can't say with certainty, "he would have done this from day one"! While we can say, "it's because he waited"... if he fails, the pre draft haters of the pick get to rule.

Here's why I like slow and easy. The NFL is so much more sophisticated than college. The speed of the game, talent of players, personalities/egos on the sidelines, play calling, game management and preparation are all different. Why not let him get comfortable with the ancillary things before hitting the field. At week 5, it will be far less overwhelming and a better environment to absorb the new moment, as he has already seen and heard the show. What the feeling of earning the position? He truly knows now, that this is his team because he is truly the better man for the job. That will help with confidence and the support from the vets as they are hungry for him to succeed, knowing he is there ONLY hope. I fully support the plan that was in place. ...and for good reason.

Easy big guy, it was a joke. No competitor likes to be bested. We all respect class when we see it

The 18mil he stole buys class by the boatload.

This part I agree with wholeheartedly. I'm a big advocate of learning and easing into things. I'm glad they waited this long, but am also glad it's time. This is the guy I wanted all along. So, for my reputations sake m, I hope he pans out.

Nice summation

Everyone expected Watson to be ready. He had a full career at Clemson. Trubisky, not so much.

And when you hit the seventh step, the qb is supposed to fire. Didn't happen. Glennon knew they were blitzing as he was dropping back. It was his job to get rid off it.

The part that will land him in trouble is the crown. His intent was to thump him good. I do agree about the bang bang scenario where Danny was committed and Adams sunk lower. He'll probably get 1-2 games max. That was not Burfict level of dirty. Personally, I loved it. Sucks that Adams was injured.

It's time...

Week 5

And..... At least wait for Long to get a game under his belt...

Completely agree! You put him in before GB, you are asking for trouble.

I was and still am. Here's to the future!

See you week 5 Madlith!

I thought Glennon played well. He almost got it done. He did his part.

Pernell McPhee's in the best shape ever? That's news to Bears DC Vic Fangio http://es.pn/2wcO8il via @ESPN App http://es.pn/app

What about a healthy Kyle Long?

Oh ye of little faith. That was the plan. The Bears saw what they wanted last week. My gut tells me they are confident they will surprise some teams. Let's wait to see opening day before we lose the last of our faith.

This..

That sucked. Knee is definitely not supposed to do that.

Oops I forgot to say future. Semantics. You know all four are getting in.
