I am on board the Mac Jones train. Unfortunately I just don't think the Bears will draft him. I don't have any proof or real reason except at this point I expect poor decisions from Pace. Andy Dalton QB1 was such a fucking joke that destroyed any remaining confidence I had in this team's ability to lead into the future.
I would love to eat crow on this, but I don't think I will.

Best thread on this board in quite a while. Jones will end up the best QB from this draft

Maybe but he'll go top 10 in the draft and Bears don't have the capital to trade up.

There really is no “problem with Jones” per se; it’s just that he doesn’t fit the price reward for the Bears.
Months ago, he was being mocked in the second, and that was even considered a reach, but, now, the most recent NFL.com mock has us trading up the 11th to acquire him!
Look, at this point, it will cost us two first round picks for a rookie qb, plus other possible draft capital. I seriously think NE is going to move up and get him. We can’t win this round.
At this point, we need to think second wave qb answer go with Mond or Jamie Newman in the third. It’s the reality we are in.

Good points. We don't properly vet who we bring in at the Qb position. We don't ask the right questions. We don't bring in leaders at the Qb position. For me, leadership is one of the most important attributes for a Qb to have. Next being a winner and having a "winners mentality".
Exactly. And this is what separates the avg HC's from the really good one's. The good ones adjust to the talent of the players.
I kept preaching....use Trubisky's mobility. Design plays that move him around i.e. roll outs, sprint outs etc Give him the freedom to create and be a play-maker. Plus this takes pressure off the OL. Nagy did just the opposite.

True. Mond or Jamie Newman have the ability to take pressure off our OL. Do ya want em in there day 1.....NO. Let em sit a yr and learn from Dalton and or Foles. Then reaccess in the 2nd yr

Pats are looking to move for a QB. Doubt they take any offers if Jones is there.
Patriots planning to trade up for quarterback or acquire Jimmy Garoppolo after draft-pick swaps, per report
Either way, New England will likely to have pay up for a new signal-caller

He was projected as a one a long time ago and dumping on the white guy due to a pic from 2018 doesn't make the other QBs look better.
Aren't you the guy that started a thread about signing Jamarcus Russell?
The Jamarcus Russell try-out went well, however.....
"sources" say we might not sign him. The story and vid below gives a interesting look at Russell...

In the link I POSTED above from Jun 9, 2013, there's info concerning Russell's weight.
But I get it, that doesn't fit your racialized narrative. And your continuing propensity to post outta context material.

How does the statement above (?from Jun 9, 2013 ? ) TRANSLATE into ME, as you say being ....... " the guy that started a thread about signing Jamarcus Russell? "
And why didn't you say anything to Chicago Staleys for posting the pic ? He obviously didn't post it to flatter Jones. And what does Jones' RACE have to do with anything????
As per usual, you pull something totally outta context to SPIN and project your own personal narrative.
Here's what they said in the posts below.... OK?

You really need to go somewhere with YOUR personal projections of NEGATIVE racial / race BAITING narratives.

Mac Jones is a pocket passer in a world of plus athletes. The other top guys all have another dimension to their game. He's not a bad athlete but looks pedestrian next to the other 1st round QBs.
With Jones, his intangibles are outstanding. He's a bright, decisive guy who understands defenses. He's a workaholic who is going to make the most out of his situation. His mechanics are solid and he exhibits plus accuracy all over the field including his deep ball. He put up numbers against the best competition particularly in the championship game.
His arm is only adequate so you don't see the gaudy off platform throws. He has good pocket awareness but doesn't have enough twitch or elusiveness to evade a free runner. He only has 17 starts so there's limited film on him. He gets knocked for having so much talent on his team but what he did with that talent was exceptional.
I like Jones a lot and think he's going to overachieve in the right situation in the NFL. He may even be a good fit for the Bears. But given our draft capital vs needs, I'm not sure I make the move up for him given the talent at T, WR, and CB that will be available at 20.

I don't watch college, so have no idea how any of these rookies will be...but I agree here, Nagy can't develop a QB if he tried. He saw what Mitch and Foles were good at, and still was too damn stubborn to get off his own ego about running HIS offense.
Unless Mac Jones runs the Andy Reid stuff, he'd probably be a wasted pick with Nagy here.
Kind of reminds me of that 2005 Playoff game, where all Lovie had to do was double Steve Smith, as the Panthers had nothing else working, but his ego to run HIS D was so strong, he just kept putting man on Steve Smith and he burned them over and over and over.
Sometimes these coaches just have no idea what they're doing outside their safety box.
