BR: Bears Trying To Trade Cutler to get Mariota

[Evobear]

If for some reason the Bears did want to trade up. I'd rather they did it to grab Leonard Williams.

Safer pick for sure.

Less long term value is Mariota turns into a top 10 QB.

It's not just about a RG3 deal or Andrew luck type prospect. GM's need to be 100% certain when they draft a QB in the first round regardless. Once you draft a QB in the first round you are basically saying this is the guy who will lead us now and/or into the future because it is going to cripple you regardless

It's draft and there's no certainty in almost any QB. We can point to a few in a decade but for those, there will have been sure things that weren't. You take your best shot and don't pass on someone you personally think could be a franchise type player. You're basically saying to never draft a QB unless you have the 1st pick and only then when the moon is in retrograde.

Instead of trading up to draft Mariota with our 7th pick and Cutler, why don't we just send Cutler and our 7th pick to TN? At least that way we wouldn't have to pay a player who is going to be a bust, but still offload Cutler's contract.

Do you mean send them Cutler and a 7th in return for nothing at all?

Not saying that at all. Windy said gm's only do RG3 trades when they are 100% sure that is their guy. Im saying picking a QB in the first in general is saying that is your guy. Thats all

You are way too hung up on RG3. this is a totally different situation.

Considering thats ehat windy and my conversation was about Im not really but thanks anyways. Anyone wishing the Titans will just take Jay and the 7th should stop thinking in general

It won't be that but it won't be in RG3 trade either. And in the 60 whatever pages of this thread how many times have you brought up RG3 now?

Then how would it go down zeek? You seem to enjoy following me so please tell me. Rg3 trade is the most recent example which is why i used it. If you dont have an answer i suggest shutting up

You are probably not going to see an RG 3 type deal ever again.

It was a horrendous over pay that blew up in Washington's face.

One bad trade does not set the market. Although I agree with Pride Cutler and 7 for 2 would be an idiotic move on the Titans part and is more of a desperation move if anything by them.

My guess on what it takes to move from 7 to 2, regardless of who is picked.

7
4th
2016 1st
2016 4th

It will look similar to the Sammy Watkins deal

Or

7
39
2016 2nd

Weird, I heard that it would take every pick the Bears had this year to make a move like that...this is no where near that

Not sure what you consider following you around that's kind of an odd statement. Cutler, 7 and our 2nd or third should get it done.

And you can shove your suggestions up your ass.

Adam Schefter is coming on ESPN1000 in 30 minutes to talk about the Bears and Mariota

Can we get a recap after?

He will probably say he hear a rumor from bleacher report that the Titans might trade the number 2 pick to the Bears for Cutler.

 

[ZenBear34]

you know, after mulling it over for a few days, i say go for it. i'm not personally 100% convinced on mariota, but he is a unique talent and it's been over a decade since the bears have even tried to develop a quarterback. why not just go for it? cutler is a dead end. this is a miserable draft for quarterbacks. it's winston and mariota and a bunch of guys i wouldn't touch til the 5th round.

i personally don't think the bears are going to be terrible this season. probably around .500 and a mid round pick next year. they're not going to be this close for a while in my opinion. that, and i don't think the overall talent at the top of this draft is anything special. there isn't one truly elite player in this draft, let alone 7. don't get me wrong, there are some prospects i like a lot, but weighing a potential franchise quarterback vs. this top 10 class? what the fuck? roll the dice.

 

[grenade007]

We need to keep our picks and get youthful depth, not bet the house on an iffy system QB

 

[tgmxd]

Can we get a recap after?

- Said that it would make sense because new head coaches and GMs want their own guy
- Mariota has already visited the Bears (he sounded 95% positive about this one)
- Doesn't see him falling to #7
- Doesn't see a way for them to trade Cutler in this. Thinks Mariota would sit for a year behind him.

Interestingly, he also said Rivers is the Chargers guy right now but the situation is fluid and he could end up somewhere else.

Thanks.

Sounds like he was very lukewarm on the rumor from earlier in the week.
