They must really think they're going to get Rodgers bc i have no idea how dumb youd have to be to be that team and pass on Fields

I wonder how much of a factor the Aaron Rodgers news played into Denver passing up on Fields. I would tend to doubt that it did, but it's the only explanation that makes any semblance of sense as to why they'd pass up on somebody like Justin Fields when their current quarterbacks suck. CAR at least had Sam Darnold.

I think they're confident about getting Rodgers maybe too confident. Reminds me of when they were rumored to Kirk Cousins before he signed with Vikings.

I'm sure everyone interested knew before the press leak. For instance, at the combine, participants sign waivers to allow release of their medical records to teams. You can expect high draft choice are going to be scrutinized in a similar fashion by teams with interest. If he didn't hide it from the Bear, he didn't hide it from other teams either. Whether it was the reason for the drop or not, we may never know.

fangio might not want to deal with a rookie qb unless they have to

maybe, but it sounds like GB was shutting it down when teams called about a possible deal

How pissed would you be?

Wouldn't surprise me that the Bears were bidding against other teams here. They certainly gave a lot.

fwiw the time he greeted a " Ryan" was on the cell phone vs the land line when he blew off the lesser offer. But who cares, we got Fields.

Cool story, but Broncos didn't trade the 9 and the only round they traded back in was the 3rd sooooo....

New Video Adds Wild Details To Justin Fields Trade By Bears
Everybody remembers how the Justin Fields trade played out for the Bears. What they don't know is it almost could've been very different.

Remember when the resident village idiot anytime23 said Ryan Pace is desperate and will give up the farm to get a QB to save his job? Turns out of course he was wrong .... typical meatball
Remember when the resident village idiot anytime23 said McCaskeys won’t let Pace make any trades of future picks ? Wrong - typical meatball
Remember when the resident village idiot anytime23 said Bears were screwed because they won those games last year that will cost them the shot at a legit franchise QB ... Wrong - typical meatball

I think since the narrative of Ohio State QBs never faring well might be a big reason. I remember when Rodgers dropped to 25th, it was mostly know that it was cause the schools previous QBs had never worked out. My brother, big Packer fan, had the same worries that this guy would never be as good as Favre.
But why Broncos took no QB, I am just dumb founded if they think Lock and Bridgewater are the answer.

It's not just them. Decisions like Carolina made taking on a reclamation project when they could have had a clean slate and all that draft capital. I'm kinda in the minority amongst fans and think Darnold has a decent shot at turning the corner and being somebody in that offense. But even with that if both prospects were to hit thier respective max potential it's not really close. One is being talked about for probowl consideration and the other is being looked at for Canton. The Lions chosing Goff over Fields, come the fuck on. If I had Goff on my roster I'd still be looking to upgrade. We've seen how he folds in cold weather.

The Giants had a chance to upgrade Daniel Jones and left it on the table. That was puzzling.
Only a 2 year starter so maybe they figure there is upside left, but he finished as one of the worst starters in the league last year.

Pace did the same with trubisky. We are lucky they moved on some teams stick with bums even longer than we do
