If you're a GM do you tell the World true statements before free agency and the draft? Any GM that does that has been fired before. Everyone says this time of the year is the season for lying. But GMs are being honest. Got it.

He had two injuries last year. One kept him from playing in the Bowl game. It may be a stretch saying he has never been injured. The other one was a thumb injury that he played thru. Some people don't do research.

You might be right but it's an unknown right now. Maybe Poles likes another QB better and makes a trade and still gets his guy. If Poles doesn't draft Williams, he has a reason we don't know about. All options are available until they get eliminated. We will know in the next 10 days. I follow Greg Gabriel on X and he has personally messaged me several times. He said they have not decided yet, that Caleb is the most talented QB in the draft but has a few issues that are not public which may turn Poles away from Caleb. He thinks Daniels will end up being the better Pro. He thinks they could trade Justin but until Poles decides, they could still keep Justin. He thinks he could draft Daniels and keep Justin.

If Poles is not talking trades for Justin, then you're not getting any offers. When Caleb blew off the medicals and Poles had no choice but to keep Justin as a option. No one considers a draftee without the medicals. They might be probable in drafting Williams but ain't letting Justin go until they know that. How would it look if Poles traded Justin and then it comes out that Caleb has some medical problems. Not a good look.

It's hysterical that people think someone has inside information coming from the Bears regime. No one seen this coming until they sign him. No one called out the Byard signing before he took a Bear visit. Poles hides everything.

Spot on. Poles is in win mold.

I agree the media is but no team reported they think Justin is terrible. The lack of attention for a trade is because of Wilson, Cousins, and Mayfield. Once they're off the table they will turn to the draft and if they are not able to get their guy, then Justin is in play. Then you can judge trade value. You are in denial if you think Poles is trading him for a 4 th or 5 th round pick. He will keep him . having a couple starting caliber QBs on the roster is not a bad strategy.

Herbert contract is up this year and always misses games. Johnson is not a true # 1 but valuable backup . Clearly they are making a push to win his year. Not sure ow a rookie QB figures into that plan.

What was San Francisco record last year?

Can you post those interviews?

NE trades Mac Jones. It sets up a biding war for pick one. Washington VS NE. That would still leave us a QB or MHJ? the ninth pick and a ton of draft capital. Poles is a magician --- Could he trade 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and back again. I can't imagine what that would bring us.

Caleb has talent but there's still a risk with any QB drafted. Much worst consequences with the first pick. Poles knows he has to win this year. Draft Williams knowing QBs usually struggle their first year and get one more blue chip player at 9. Your next pick is 75. Starters are more likely in round 1 +2 than later in draft. WR or Edge? Trade back to 2, draft capital. Trade back again and have 9 and a 10 to 15 pick. You can draft Verse or Latui and Brian Thomas plus get 2 to 3 second round picks. Draft Zach Frazier, OG-OT and maybe a QB prospect. Another WR? A Brandon Fiske? Jaylen Wright? If Poles believes Williams is the guy, he will take him and keep trading back for more picks. What if he doesn't? No one has that answer. The second option wins more games than drafting a rookie QB. Stroud was an outlier, that rarely happens.

Some of those teams are still in on drafting a QB. Justin's market may not develop until after the draft. Someone is not getting their guy. LVR has Getsy there, not happening. Den only realistic option.

There's another reason why the market is so light on Justin, because maybe they're not trading him. GMs understand choices but media and fans whip up narratives. This is a possibility even as slight as it may be.

Actually it was 60.4% pressure rate . Tell me what QB in the League looks good being under pressure 6 out of ten times. It's wreaks one's confidence. Also he was one of the highest in the League in completion rate when throwing to D j and Kmet. All the other WRs had at least a 15% drop passes rate. You lose confidence in WRs when hey continually dropping the ball. Example Mooney in the end zone that would have won the game. If he would had had one more reliable WR, he would have made the top 10 in the League.

They are out on the Justin tour. Atlanta getting Cousins?

I don't mean to be disrespectful to Bears media but there are a lot idiots out there. I seen several say we paid to much for Byard. That's insane. A top 5 safety for 7.5 mil a year. I expected 10 to 12 for someone.

To he fair, JJ is a vet , he's just young. And yes Byard is a perfect fit. I'm also glad he has an easy name.

Last year he had 55 pressures. 9.5 sacks and signed for 2.5 mil, go get him.

They definitely are. I think we wait until after the first wave gets signed and grab a vet on a 1 year10 deal. Clowny comes to mind. He

Poles has to win this year, he has to upgrade from maybes to sure things. Byard is as close you can get to a sure thing.

If Caleb is that guy he will come in with the challenge of winning he locker room. Over. Success will win the locker room, if he has Bryce Young season, he will have a lot of pressure on him. How ever they play this, it works better if he doesn't start until late season or sits the whole year.

The earth is flat, not sure of your point? Until Poles trades Justin that option is still on the table.

If they were already set on drafting him , would they be doing that?
