I believe it was 7 degrees. I was at the game and my beer froze

I'm starting to think the Bears won't take a QB in the 1st. In fact I'm nearly certain.

 

Why, because Barkley/Hoyer are looking good or because the other prospects are better? I'd probably take Watson or Trubisky. Have to get your future QB at some point and there probably won't be another opportunity to take any QB you want.

I'm no draft pro but I see a lot of people not enamored with any of the QBs as a top 5-7 pick. Pace says he's a BPA guy and I believe it based on his first 2 drafts. I don't think anyone necessarily believes Barkley is our long term QB but he hasn't necessarily eliminated himself as an Alex Smith type QB that's adequate on a good team but could be upgraded.

 

So if the Bears scouts are in love with a guy in top 5 they'd take him but they aren't going to reach for a 1st round QB if they like another guy better IMO because they

feel good enough that Hoyer or Barkley wouldn't be a disaster at QB next year.

Of course I'm typing this as he commits turnovers on 4 consecutive possessions. Whoops

Regression to the mean was always inevitable. Hoyer didn't last long enough for it to happen. Barkley has.

Maybe. He wouldn't be my choice for QB over the next 5 years but I think he'd be a solid backup

 

PS anyone know when Alshon Jeffrey's suspension is over?

Pretty sure the Bears have owned the H2H edge over the Packers for basically their entire history. Packers about to tie it today.

Yeah I'm no scout either, but Watson and Trubisky have intriguing profiles. Watson has put up great numbers for two years while leading a top 5 team. Good performances against good teams, including Bama, consistent winner. Good escapability, and high 60s completion pct. The big knocks on him seem to be decision making and inconsistent accuracy on the deep ball. But again, he won a ton so got around the decision making. And I personally don't need a incredible deep ball if the rest is good. I've seen him comped to Mariotta and if he's in that mood I'd be good.

 

Then with Trubisky you've got a guy with a 28-4 TD to Int ratio and a 69% completion. Pretty decent deep ball and escapability. Another guy who I've seen Mariotta comps for.

 

If they don't get QB at the top of this draft I don't know where it comes from. Count on a guy you really like being there in the middle of the first next year? Second round guy this year? I don't know how to evaluate but I'm really hoping to Bears like one of these guys and are in position to get them. I prefer Watson right now, but I'd be good with either.

Eh I'd still consider him a backup option, but the Barkley as starter was picking up some steam.

We must have been up 40 games before Favre and Rodgers...

 

But I think we're about to win this.

Bears gain no advantage from losing, either.
