Garoppolo to Bears.....eventually

[JoJoBoxer]

I agree with didshereallysaythat above. How long does the writer of that article think Tom Brady is going to continue to QB in the league? 2 years... 4 years... 6 years... 16? He is at the end of it all. One good hit and he might not get up even now. How many more times can Tom tell Giselle, " Don't touch me, it hurts!"?

Not as many times as Rogers can tell Clay Matthews to "make it ..."

Jim Plunkett won two SBs with the Raiders after developing with the Pats and spending time with the Niners (Plunket was basically a bust in New England with his 164 career TD to 199 INT 52.5% career completion percentage. He played well enough and the raider defense was very good. John Madden, the best winning percentage of all time didn't hurt).
Joe Thiesmann was acquired by Washington via trade, although he was playing in the CFL (came from CFL)
Doug Williams developed with TB and won with Washington (was good in TB and was good in Washington, but never great)
Steve Young was acquired by SF via trade (was a bust after 2 years in TB 11 TDs / 21 INTs / 55% completion. Bill Walsh saw something in him and the rest is history)
Brett Favre was acquired via trade, although he never really played for Atlanta (thank you Jerry Glanville!) (Glanville didn't want him drafted and made sure he had no chance to play (0/4 2 int and one sac) - Altanta got a 1st rounder for him)
Trent Dilfer was acquired via trade (considered one of the worst QBs to win a Super bowl - the only QB to win a Super Bowl and be let go after the Super Bowl win - The Ravens knew something)
Brad Johnson was acquired via FA (I believe - yes, free agent) - people talk bad about Brad Johnson but he had some good seasons with the Vikes, the Redskins and the Bucs (pro bowl, several player of the month, career high 4000+ plus yards and 90+ passer rating)
Drew Brees was acquired via FA (he became a free agent because of injuries, NO took a chance, and the rest is history)
Peyton Manning was acquired via FA (he became a free agent due to a neck injury, Indy drafted Luck (a once in a decade type of QB), and he chose his destination). He was basically not a QB when they won the Super Bowl)

Basically, its not that uncommon for a team to win a SB with a QB they didn't draft. The trick is that you have to acquire the right one.

So the game plan of getting your future Super Bowl winning QB from another team basically comes down to:
1. having the head coach from another team do everything in his power to undermine the career of a QB that he didn't want drafted - and it will still cost you a 1st round pick
2. either trading for or picking up as a free agent a QB who has shown nothing but being a bust.
3. signing a free agent who shows promise but has extreme injury concerns
4. signing a QB from another league
5. sign older QBs who have been ok, yet not great
6. sign a free agent QB who has a boring name yet has good to very good production, hoping that the boring name will keep other teams from signing him first
7. signing a free agent QB who is a terrible QB with the hopes that the defense will carry him all the way to the Lombardi trophy.

i like garroppolo, i liked him coming out of college and wish the bears drafted him, and he made a number of impressive throws the other night, but as mentioned, if he is worth a damn why would the pats trade him when he was drafted to succeed brady? if brady is still playing in 2 years then garroppolo might be available, but i would hope the bears will have addressed the qb position by then.

I think one thing Pace has been really good at is not overpaying (IMHO). If he likes JG I wouldn't expect he'd be willing to spend a shitload of resources to get him. Maybe something like 2 2's or a 2&3. Something that won't hurt the Bears longterm.

Still I'd rather draft and develop our own guy. When he traded up in the 4th I was thinking Dak Prescott was about to be called and wish he was. Especially because we haven't seen Kwiatkoski yet.

If the Browns or 49ers drafted Trubisky I think the Bears would of ended up trading for Garoppolo.

Just another reason to be pissed that Pace got fleeced.
