If Glennon is a stud, I don't mind if he sits until he's traded.

Disagree. David Carr was brutalized for 3 years. The guy never had a chance. Kurt Warner had some success before failure, so he had something to remember once he was put in a good situation again.

I never really answered the question of topic. My answer is yes. In the last 25 years I can only think of 2 QB's that did not meet my definition of a franchise QB.(Dilfer and Johnson) What they had in common was undeniably great alltime type defenses. You must have a solid starter to compete from year to year. The great defense will fade through attrition. The franchise QB will be there for 15 years.

Verbatim!

Cool read!

Agreed. Add Newton, Rivers, Manning and Ryan to my list. Any situation where the position is locked down with no question who the leader is....

If we had Trent Dilfer instead of Grossman, we'd have 2 at Halas Hall.

8 of those 10 had very good defenses. The question is, how easy is it to build a championship D?

In the long run, I believe Pace followed his draft plan. It may have been dumb luck that got us the DII guys, as they fell into their slotted position. In no way, do I believe that they went into the draft thinking they were going to shock the world with DII picks.

The great Jerry Rice ran a 4.7

If you are good, you are good. Doesn't matter where you come from.

Top free agents are hard to sign unless you are ascending. Gotta have a QB for any hope of that. We have money.

There is no bad if Glennon blows up. Trubisky would still be coveted by Cleveland. Hell you could even trade him before the deadline if you wanted. Your QB situation is solved and you have an arsenal of draft picks for next season. Now you can start drafting BPA and making pin point FA strikes on your way to the Superbowl.

At least wait for mini camp before you start, lol

And I no longer trust Polian. He talks out of both sides of his mouth these days. Don't get me wrong, he is greatest football exec of all time; but nothing more than media now.

Damn it sucks to hope your team improved enough to draft at 12. Lol. That's the reality of where we are though.

I just read that he signed a 1 year deal, but can't find it now.

And my favorite!

I get your point, but if your team is not diverse in talent, then you become a one trick pony.

Nothing but fun poking at you. Kinda like Cutler. Don't read too deep into it. Simply stating that if Watson is successful and Trubisky is not, we'll here from you. A lot...

This is going to be fun, or not, for one of us. I'll take Trubisky, you take Watson. BTW, I like them both. When I made my unabashedly hate comment, it was a dig for a situation like this. You were against Trubisky so any failure or success of his will come to light with ties to Watson. Let's play...

Adam, you are our digger! That's a compliment BTW...

Bottom Line With his combination of functional strength and body control, Whitehair might be one of the safest offensive linemen in the entire draft. He will almost assuredly be bumped inside to guard, but could be considered at center as well. He has the confidence and talent to start right away and his run blocking should improve as he gets more comfortable firing out from a three-­point stance. Whitehair has the ability to be a very good starter with a ceiling that could reach the all-pro level.
