Palmer had six seasons with 4,000 passing yards. Bears ended up drafting Rex Grossman.

I'm sure they could've easily gotten the number 1 pick.

You never know. Rams got the no. 1 pick and got Goff. If Palmer pulled an Elway move if he knew the Bears came after him. Like Eli Manning.

I doubt it. Tennessee had just drafted Mariota at the time, so they were in a prime position to trade since they didn't need Goff (or so they thought). Bengals didn't have that luxury. Then you look up what the Rams gave up to get in that position. Bears would've had to give up much, much more for Palmer, who not only was a more touted prospect, but also because the Bengals needed a QB. No way that deal would've ever happened without the Bears pretty much becoming just as worthless as the Bengals and winning nothing with Palmer.
Some of you guys genuinely don't think about the butterfly effect of these moves and just assume the Bears simply add Palmer to the 06 team.
Seriously, think about it. Briggs and Tillman are gone. They aren't here. Say goodbye to Tommie Harris and probaly even Devin Hester. That's the effect of this trade, and that's off the top of my head. Forget Nathan Vasher too.

Nor should you, because this was completely unattainable.

This is truth. We had two first rounders that year as well. Michael Freaking Haynes.

I always thought JA never took qb seriously. I guess he tried but just couldn't get it to happen.

I remember about the time Kimo dove into his knee Bears fans were saying how much he sucked and they wouldn't want him on the team. What's funny is those same fans are the ones wanting old washed up vets.

What was attainable was getting Aaron Rodgers instead of Fucking POS Cedric Benson. The Bears had a beast in Thomas Jones. Why fucking draft another RB? Angelo was so stupid , he traded Jones to the Jets when he was still in his prime.
Don’t say the Bears never done it before. Bears drafted McMahon in 82 and drafted Harbaugh in 86 in 1st round
Good teams do that in order to o find franchise QBs. Teams can’t be scared. Also GB drafted Rodgers while Favre was still playing well. That’s a smart franchise. Not like the fucking Bears.

Too bad the Bears weren't a year late,they could've drafted Marino. That's an easy four SBs in the 80s with that defense.

Palmer and his career 87.9 passer rating? Thats only minimally better than Cutler's. He wasnt beating Manning, especially considering his postseason stats were less than stellar

As in Peyton? As in vs Rex Grossman or as in if only we had Peyton F Manning on the Bears?
You do realize Bears almost beat Manning with Grossman, right? All it would've taken was a QB that was slightly better than Rex.
If you're holding out for Peyton F Manning or bust you may as well find a different team. Cutler was the best QB the Bears have ever had, and then Trubisky was the best QB the Bears have ever had. We're a long way away from the best QB in the NFL being the best QB we've ever had.
