Ian R: Bears offered a lot for Stafford

[Bust]

By the time you can put players around him his career would be over! He would waste his career coming to Chicago with no weapons o-line or defense! Like a lot of teams you pay one player and you can’t build anything around them!!

He's only 25 and NFL ready. When your best franchise qb is <still> intramural league Sid Luckman going up against all slow white guys it's time to be aggressive.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

None. Which is exactly my point. Deshaun Watson is not going to win anything when the Bears are in the deepest depths of cap hell and can't pick in the top fifty again until 2024. If reports are true that they'll need to give up Jaylon Johnson or Roquan Smith or (god forbid) both it gets even uglier.

And how is Deshaun Watson gonna handle it when the Bears win six games a year for his first three years? You think he's just going to be cool with that? You think Chicago's just going to be cool with that?

This has disaster written all over it.

But I really don’t care. We aren’t going anywhere for a long time anyway no matter what we do, so give me an opportunity once in my 48 years on this earth to cheer for consistently above average quarterback play. That is all I humbly ask for.

Broncos, Panthers & Bears Were Offering More Than First-Round For Matthew Stafford

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Broncos, Panthers and Bears all offered the Lions more than a first-round pick for QB Matthew Stafford before Detroit agreed to send him to the Rams for

Apparently more than just a 1st rounder....

A hot dog and a coke ...Maybe fries too!

 

[PrideisBears]

Good to hear the aggression, even better we didn't get him. Lions weren't going to trade him in the division

 

[TL1961]

Nope. I for one don't care if we get Watson, but for the duration of his current contract he puts up hellaciously good numbers that don't translate to championships. Waste of everyone's damn time. Ask Moon,Mariono,Fouts or Rivers if they'd trade multiple 4,000 yard seasons for Super Bowl rings.

Who can forget those Mariono years?

 

[and 69 others]

Seems like a bad sign in terms of what they think about the Watson situation. If they thought they had a chance, they probably wouldn’t have gone after Stanford.

What are you talking about ?

We would have Mooney, Kmet, Monty, and Cohen

We still have an average defense

We make a couple of adjustments and the current group has 2 seasons

When those 2 seasons are up the defense salaries start to drop off while our young guys are entering their primes with 27 yr old Watson

After those 2 years you focus on continuing to add offensive talent while being selective with your defense spending

At that point

Brady is 500 yrs old
Rodgers is 40 yrs old
Russell and Stafford are 35

besides Murray Watson would be the best qb in the NFC by far and hell even the two top qbs in the draft are going to the AFC .

I dont know if he would agree to come here but if he did the Bears would be setting themselves up to dominate the NFC for the next 10 years .

The we cant put a team around him shtick is ridiculous

 

[Nail Polish]

Bears always settle for some other teams cast off for QB.

Draft a QB and develop him!

They tried that....

keep trying..It doesnt always happen right away...

Whatever happens Pace will overpay. It's what he does.

Watson is another teams cast off?

Ummm...he is leaving Houston, so YES

Cohen is a reach....the dude isn’t the greatest.

I dont think you know what a cast off is. The definition is discarded or unwanted item. Houston is doing whatever they can not to lose him

Well.. Apparently Houston doesn't think enough of Watson to make him happy, so in essence, he is being discarded.

Well I'm pretty sure they just don't like black people enough to respect their opinions, but I still wouldn't say this is discarding.

As far as trading for him, I'm somewhere in the middle. I definitely see both sides of the argument

Probably 75% of their team is black...take the race card somewhere else

Dont think it has anything to do with Watson being black. Rodgers is the great white savior and the Packers dont ask for his input on any of their hires.

Watson was told he was going to be part of the process and then he wasn't
