    Short, and while I think the evidence is good for his processing, you rarely *really* know if a QB prospect can handle NFL speed until you see them at NFL speed and he's not one of the very small handful of guys in my lifetime who you know for sure. The list of generational QB prospects is Elway, Manning and Luck. Williams isn't on that level, and if we're including him as "generational" we're going to need a *new* word for those guys and the point of generational was to separate those guys from the guys like Williams. Someone on reddit suggested the term "presidential" for guys like Williams and I like it, as in "probably the best prospect you'll see in a four-year cycle."

    He's not that, and if he were, he would still be worth as much to us as anyone else.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's the right move based on the real situation. It might not be the right move based on imaginary situations that won't happen. It's hard to imagine anyone offering more for WIlliams than he's worth to us, given that we need him as badly as anyone.

    I could have sworn I was promised this was the year people *definitely* stopped making excuses for Fields.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yes, if Arizona offers you four firsts and more to move up two spots, you do that. I don't think that's a realistic trade offer tho.

    You absolutely don't *need* to take a QB 1.10a-1 to succeed in the NFL. But that's completely the wrong way of approaching the question. The question is what's the best course of action for the Chicago Bears in the 2023-24 offseason. Given the following !) We already did our "pass on a QB to load up on assets to support the next QB" trade and now have a pretty solid offensive and defensive situation for the next QB to come into. 2) There's basically no veteran QB options unless Arizona wants to trade Murray (which will cost a big chunk of the draft capital you're salivating over when you trade out) or you convince whatever's left of Kirk Cousins to come here. 3) Despite the prospect fatigue, there will be a QB available at our pick who is the best QB prospect you're going to see in a 3-5 year span. I haven't seen any convincing arguments that this isn't our best course of action in this specific circumstance.

    Is he "elite"? Is he "generational?" We're playing with words in pointless ways here.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    When 27% of the good QBs are coming from 0.38% of the draft slots, that's probably a pretty good slot to look for a QB.

    "Purdy would be Bagent on the Bears" is one of those "brady without bellichek" things except we should be over it because Brady proved it's QB and not coach after he left.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    The point where Jared Goff is considered a "bust" is the point where the conversation isn't serious anymore and people are just starting from "I don't want to take a QB" and then saying anything they think supports that point, regardless of how nonsensical. Edit to add: And apparently Dak Prescott isnt a franchise QB? This is getting weird.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't understand what "system" Fields is supposed to thrive in. People usually say something like Baltimore, but that system relies heavily on Jackson's elite ability to execute RPOs, something Fields is *really* bad at.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Much worse for Mahomes is going to be 4500 yards and 30-35 TD passes
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm showing you that giving up on having an elite qb and trying to limp by without one will fail
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    Bears history shows us exactly why this plan consistently fails Our last four playoff exits were rex grossman vs. Peyton Manning, Cutler/Hanie vs. Aaron Rodgers, Trubisky vs foles, and Trubisky vs. Brees.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Very inconsistent arm. Accuracy and velocity are not reliable on short and intermediate throws.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    I think it's fine to be not enthusiastic about Williams because almost no QBs are sure things and it sucks to be in a position where you need a QB so you have to use an extremely valuable asset on an extremely volatile position. But the second tier of QB prospects is second tier for a reason. You don't become the fourth QB in your draft year without having some good reasons to think you aren't going to be a good nfl qb (see what I did there?). Daniels arm is inconsistent at best, we don't know if nix can throw downfield, McCarthy has processing issues and penix is barely younger than fields with two bad acls and am exceedingly mid profile. I'm sure one of them will end up ok in the NFL but good luck guessing which one. Drafting one of those guys and betting the next half decade of your franchise on it seems like a big mistake. it's grossman, mcnown and fields all over again The only way I'd be interested is if we paired it with an established, above-average veteran, and I don't know where you find one this offseason.

    We are keeping eberflus and getting a new QB. We aren't firing him when they've done exactly what they intended to do: tank to reset expectations then show "improvement" over that new absurdly low baseline
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    I would enjoy finishing ahead of the packers
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wouldn't mind finishing ahead of the Packers
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    By Fields standards, it was a good game. The Arizona defense is butt and they gave him tons of the super-wide-open throws he loves to look for. This is who we are now: Good enough to beat the worst teams.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Drive up that trade value
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wish I had more.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wish he had gotten more.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm getting deja vu. I'm totally down with the generic idea of finding a QB somewhere other than the 1.1Øa and taking advantage of that sweet sweet trade-down haul But I need something better than "maybe they really really believe in bo nix" or "idk maybe draft one next year" and dear god everyone stop using it as an excuse to squeeze another year out of fields. Sell me on Kyler Murray or god just go get Kirk cousins or something

    You didn't actually take econ 101, did you
