Bears in trade talks for Matthew Stafford per @AlbertBreer

[Sicario]

We won’t have our first and maybe next years

Why is that?? We are not trading 2 firsts for Chunk from the Goonies

 

[coolio]

Stafford is not going for a first.

The bears would give up atleast a first

 

[circusboy666]

If Watson is off the table Stafford is the next best option. Giving up a 1st at 20 isn’t crazy for a solid NFL starter with tons of experience. I’d pull the trigger.

 

[DammitFullerTurnUrHead!]

a 2nd and a few mid rd picks is more likely

 

[Sicario]

Not at 32 year old QB that has never won a playoff game. Sorry.

 

[Rob219_CBMB]

If this happens, do we still draft a QB on the first??

fuck no, 2022plan and stick with it. we'll most likely run MS out of town by next season finale.

 

[Leomaz]

Bears were reported to be on Stafford's preferred destination list. That could be playing into it.

Put me on the record as being staunchly against this, especially if they have to give up a first round pick to get it done. A franchise QB should be capable of largely carrying a team. Stafford has had years to prove it, and several times with a pretty good supporting cast. And has never won a playoff game despite being in the NFL for over a decade. Our defense is aging and the expectation shouldn't be that they can win games with dominant performances, as long as the offense is somewhere around average, or maybe slightly better. He is better than what we have, but not worth the pick(s) and money it would take to get this done IMO.

I'm gonna respectfully disagree with this. Stafford has been in the league for a decade. Them trading a first for anything but Watson or a QB in this draft would be just another pick flushed down the toilet.

Pace trading away the future for a choke artist stat stuffer loser would be pretty on point though. As Paces biggest critic, this is even worse than i would give him credit for.

Amazing the amount of bitching that goes on around here whenever there is a QB trade rumor.

Let's just trade for Mahomes so people don't go on their damn period.

Probably not unless Pace happens to get lucky af in the draft, and not holding my breath on that one. Good evalutor for mid round talent, but I'd trust myself blindfolded throwing a dart at a list of names over his ability to evaluate QB talent in the early rounds.

Even if this is the case, it still doesn't justify mortgaging the future for the likes of Matthew Stafford. IMO.

That actually sounds perfect.

What if it’s a 2nd and 3rd or 4th next year and they take Foles also? They need someone to take the lumps during a rebuild while they develop their next QB.

Just spit balling here but that would free up a spot for a young QB that could sit behind Stafford for a couple years.

 

[PickSix]

Pace doesn’t do himself any favors by continually having his name associated with even thinking about these stupid options.
Desperate and dumb is a bad place to be.

if that’s all it took, then yes

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Well,then I really question his decision making.

Well you can’t say he wasn’t warned. He knows first hand what he’d be getting into.

 

[Soterod]

I could see the bears offering the most just to get lions to deal him to a division rival

Yup I’m sure they will give up the rest of the farm to get him !

 

[jtreal3]

Lions GM...We can do it for a 3rd & 5th

Pace...I can do you better, this years & next years 1st and a 2nd & and 4th!
