Dexo posted:omg, and then season ended after week 4 they certainly didn't turn poo poo around and started playing better once the defense got healthy, and once they added one singular pass rusher, and jettisoned Claypool into the sun. i was posting ALL ABOUT how i was officially a lions hater at that point.

Radia posted:see this is the thing! the 49ers literally developed an offense where mediocre QB's can excel, this was a literal highlight last year (er 2022) when they were on their 84th backup qb. but it takes designing around the talent you have elsewhere, which I don't think the Bears really do. The 49ers have one of the top 3 best play designers and all around scheme guys in the league and they STILL gave away 3 picks for Trey Lance because they felt (rightly) that their mediocre QB was holding them back. That was after trying and failing to get Stafford because McVay beat him to the punch. In any case “simply design an offense as well as Kyle Shanahan does” isn’t all that easy to replicate. Those “middling QBs surrounded by talent” offenses are highly scheme dependent and prone to falling apart when the coordinator leaves or the offensive line picks up a couple of injuries. Good QBs make it far easier to weather the storm if everything isn’t going perfectly. Look at the come down the Eagles suffered this year.

I think the Bears will be pretty decent in a probably good division, but I also feel like projections for an entire division overall are usually not good.

rookie QBs, as a rule, suck rear end. if the bears draft a rookie qb, they will probably be bad.

I don't think Eberflus is anywhere as capable as Ryans, but I'd like to be a bit optimistic and view the 2024 Bears as closer to being the 2023 Texans than anything else, given the defense, etc.

All you have to do is teach him it's ok to take the easy play when it's there and throw the ball away sometimes. He doesn't have to learn how to do it like Fields did; he just has to learn to make it his first instinct most of the time. I truly believe that's the only real developmental step he needs to take for him to be successful at the NFL level. It shouldn't be that hard...even the Bears should be capable of putting those finishing touches on an otherwise ready-made prospect...

Take the easy reads. And when there are no easy reads, stay level with the LoS and make a play.

Most QBs and prospects of this caliber drafted in the top 2 picks aren't going to a team that was as "good" as the bears were last year(relative to the actual dregs of the league), unless that team gutted their future to move up for the QB(shout out Panthers and thanks for not picking Stroud) Also man just a general Zooming out looking at the Bears. I dunno I don't think Flus is a great coach or whatever, but this was year 2 of a rebuild after year one was tearing it down to the complete loving studs and they ended up around exactly where I expected them "in the hunt" but ultimately coming up short, by 2 games. And winning 7 games. The start was comically bad, but wow look at that young players and rookies who the Bears were starting started playing better. Much like the other extremely young team in the division who started out like poo poo this year, had something click midseason and went on a run. Only difference is that team had seemingly an actual dude at QB and a better playcaller. And the Packers last year were a roster that was one win away from the playoffs, the Bears very much were not. People sometimes just cant or don't want to see the forest for the trees with the Bears.

Except for South that division stinks. Maybe the Falcons could be viable if they manage to obtain a decent qb but otherwise yuck.

Fields is the Bears QB that took being the Bears QB the best. Especially given he seemed like his soul died on draft night when the Bears took him. I think he will do well elsewhere. If the Bears trade him to Las Vegas to reunite him with Getsy, I will laugh myself hoarse.

Has there been a Bears QB who sucked with the Bears but went on to be good elsewhere afterwards? I think the Bears usually just draft bad QBs.

I had this same question a month ago I think, the answer is Orton for a given definition of good. He was top half in qb rating (barely) in Denver the two years after the trade.

Thought today's mock draft from The Athletic beat writers was fun. - #1: Bears stay and take Caleb Williams - #9: Bears trade back with the Broncos (who take J.J. McCarthy) in exchange for #12, #76, and a 2025 fourth - #11: Vikings take Dallas Turner, edge - #12: Bears take Jared Verse, edge - #25: Packers take Nate Wiggins, corner - #29: Lions take Kool-Aid McKinstry, corner So, aside from Williams, all four teams predicted to take either an edge rusher or corner. Probably worth noting that MHJ/Nabers/Odunze/Alt/Fashanu went before the Bears pick, and DeJean went before the Packers pick. They also predicted Fields being traded to New England for #68. That compensation seems low, though.

I dont hate it overall, I was really thinking about how we need to fix the defense as it has been the biggest problem the last 2 seasons (though it showed life after the Sweat trade) AND Caleb's biggest problem in college came from trying to do miracles to save USC from it's horrible defense. I feel like ensuring the defense is decent more important than drafting a great #2 receiver as part of fixing Caleb's issues

I've liked Wiggins even stretching back to the middle of the season so I'm down with that pick. That also means the Packers absolutely won't pick him  I think Van Ness has been the only first-round pick in recent memory where people agreed he was a fit for Green Bay and the Packers actually took him. Watson would've qualified if the Vikings hadn't refused to let the Packers pay them for #32. KAM took Lewis Cine instead. Brilliant pick.
