the Browns spent more 1st round picks on QBs in a decade than the Bears did lifetime. incidentally, all the shit they threw at the wall didn't stick either. after McNown and Grossman I guess the team decided not to try and draft their own high round QB and grab someone else that had some semblance of success. Cutler for the overall declining Broncos fit the bill, that's why they spent the house to acquire him. and when they had him, they didn't really do him any favors. Trubisky they went for a long shot, it also probably is never going to work out as planned. what's the common denominator in these 4 players, does anyone know?

I like how we drafted Trubisky after passing on a LT and then drafting floyd 7th overall.

Lol what the fuck is Ron Turner talking about with Orton? He could have just shit on Jay which is a pretty safe thing to do as a bears former coach and player with little to no pushback at all but you lose credibility when you start talking about Orton like that.

Floyd was 9th overall after trading up. White was 7th.

Orton as a rookie didn't do much, but when he got the nod at the end of 2007 I was like "why didn't they play this guy?" and I was a Griese fan. that 2008 team could've gone places if the defense hadn't lost a step under Babich. Jerry Angelo's decline obviously began the previous year, but it started to get progressively worse. I think Olsen, Forte, and Knox were his best picks in the latter years. Orton went to the Broncos and went on a serious tear for a time. I was happy for him but I didn't want McDickface to enjoy any success.
also lol @ Cutler getting coaches fired. seriously fuck off already.

Part of the problem is QB coach Dave Ragone is incapable of developing QBs. Defilippo's presence should help but unfortunately Defillipo is under Ragone.

Correct.
We passed on Tunsil because he smoked pot.
One of the franchises biggest draft blunders and head scratchers.

It was more than that but the mask didn't help. With the league's goofy drug rules, it was a valid concern. Tunsil was suspended by the NCAA and missed the first seven games of a season for taking money from an agent and he was with Nkemdiche during the Hotel incident.

Not really. Nobody knew the extent of what Tunsil was up to as that sabotage attempt was leaked. It left teams scrambling to find out more with little to no time as the picks were coming off the board. In hindsight, with all the information coming to fruition. I'm sure some teams would go back and select him. But I certainly don't blame them for passing with the draft capital and financial investment on the line.

This is a franchise that did not understand that the game had changed and the passing game is king. Even after the the 1985 Bears, the team wasted a great defense for several years because there was no decent backup to the talented but very injury prone Jim McMahon. The team seemed to think that a good defense and good running game --without a talented QB- would do the trick.

Dude. Are you 65 years old? Because only people with that mindset couldn't see thst it wasnt him dealing drugs or smoking crack but him being a huge goofy ass. It cost him public embarrassment and shame for the draft and ruined his image enough.
If you are the bears you just have to be smarter than that. No exceptions.
