Neither love nor the packers believe in him so this is the best deal for both sides.

Never forget, Mitch also got to a pro-bowl.

There is literally no reason to believe in Love until he’s actually played.

What's there to go nuts over? He's had one actual game with little prep time, and a few preseason games. He could be great or could be trash, he's the Mystery Box. I would have said that maybe he's got more pressure to perform than Rodgers did when he took over, but Rodgers already kinda took the sting out of the whole 'dumping a HOF QB' barrier in people's minds.

I'm just interested to see what we have.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Remember when Matt Flynn played the final game of the season for the Packers that one time against the Lions and threw for 10,000 yards and a bunch of touchdowns and then Seattle got utterly bamboozled into giving him a large offseason contract that was based one that one game where he was playing against the Lions practice squad?

It was only a matter of time after he talked weak poo poo against the Lions leading up to Week 14, and then turned into a pumpkin on gameday.

He looked very good for the one quarter he was in against the Eagles. He was getting a lot more reps with the first team for all of the offseason and a big part of the regular due to Rodgers' veteran rest days.

Also, wouldn't Reagor be ineligible for a 5th year option because he's not with his original drafting team?

That doesn’t matter. Remember when the Panthers picked up Darnold’s fifth year option immediately after trading for him?

I think if the original team pays part of the salary they aren't eligible for the 5th year option. Okudah isn't because the Lions retained some.

Honestly, over a decade removed from that game I can't really be mad at him. That was his one chance to earn a big payday and he couldn't have capitalized on it any better. We should all be so lucky to have that chance.

One of the great "What if?" stories in sports. He was on such a rocket trajectory since being drafted by the Eagles... But then he faced the Detroit Lions. Imagine if he could have built upon the unprecedented success he'd had before that game.

That's a paddlin'

Just to get some context of what’s realistic I went and looked at teams with the worst record, and what they did the next season

2022: Jags 3-14 to 9-8 (and a playoff win)
2021: Jags 1-15 to 3-14 (drafted their franchise QB)
2020: Bengals 2-14 to to 4-11-1 (drafted their franchise QB)
2019: Cards 3-13 to 5-10-1 (drafted their franchise QB)
2018: Browns 0-16 to 7-8-1 (thought they drafted their franchise QB)
2017: Browns 1-15 to 0-16
2016: Titans 3-13 to 9-7
2015: Bucs 2-14 to 6-10 (drafted Jameis lol)
2014: Texans 2-14 to 9-7
2013: Chiefs 2-14 to 11-5 (and a playoff loss)
2012: Colts 2-14 to 11-5 (and a playoff loss, drafted Andrew Luck who played like a franchise QB)

So what does this mean to me, the eager Bears Goober? Bad teams who drafted their franchise QB with the first overall pick were usually pretty bad the next season, but I look at the 2016 Titans, a team with a good amount of talent and a QB in place, in a weak conference, who traded down from pick #1 to draft a right tackle, with coaches who were in their second season running the team, and they made it above 500. What if.

As it always was, and always will be. More than anything it just highlighted the difference between having a QB already and not having one. Just based on the past 10 years it’s not unrealistic to think a playoff appearance could be possible

I know it is technically a year too soon, but if the Bears don't, at the very least, mirror the 2022 Lions, I will consider this season a failure.
