If you want them to take a QB at #1 and you want any chance of Nabers with the 2nd pick, the Bears have to lose. If they win, even Odunze might be gone before they pick.
Carolina shut out for the 2nd week in a row, Bryce Young went 11-18 and threw for 94 yards. He'll finish the season with 11 TD, 10 INT and 2877 yards. Carolina needs to be in full blown panic mode at this point.
1) I'm very happy for Derrick Henry who is going out like a boss. 147 yards on 10 carries in what seems like could be his last game.
2) Trevor Lawrence has been disappointing to put it mildly. As of now, he's sitting at 20 TD to 14 INT and looking like a guy who is never going to approach his draft hype.
Watching Derek Carr absolutely destroy Atlanta to the tune of a 150.1 passer rating is not making me feel as optimistic about Fields' performance last week as I was.
Even if we ignore the Bauer abuse situation, he has genuinely been disliked by his teammates on basically every team he has ever been a part of. He's a Milton Bradley level clubhouse issue.
The coaching situation is pretty much going to give away what the Bears are going to do at QB. A new coach and I'd put heavy money on a new QB. If they keep Eberflus, then I'd put heavy money that Fields is returning.
We're between 5 to 6 weeks until pitchers and catchers report. I know there's technically a lot of FA available, but it really feels increasingly likely that they go in with a bunch of 3rd and 4th tier FA on 1 or 2 year deals and try to sneak into the playoffs.
