I realize everyone’s sick of the Bears not taking quarterbacks, not taking swings.
But looking at how the Bears are unlikely to get one of the top guys this year and looking at this upcoming season’s schedule, wouldn’t you guys rather the Bears go BPA and shore up their line, and just take a crack at a better QB next year when they’ll be drafting earlier?
I think I’d rather have a 2022 top tier QB than a 2021 second tier QB.
I get it, but the reality is we have kicked the can so many years that it has become tradition. What if we go 8-8 again and make the playoffs again and end up pick right about in the same area, then we are looking at being out of the picture for one of the top tier QBs in 2022, AGAIN. I understand that the schedule looks harder, but every year, on paper never fully reflects reality.
The reason I would like us to take a shot at getting a QB THIS year is because of two reasons really.
1. Development, if a 1st round QB is ever going to get an opportunity to sit for a year and learn it would be this year with 2 vets (currently) to mentor him.
2. A quality starting Tackle can be found in the 2nd or even 3rd round.
In a perfect world for me, we have a top ten player drop to us at 20, we take that player, then we trade back into the first round to take a developmental QB.
If Mond and Trask both are still on the board at 28 or 29, then I hope that Pace makes his move and tries to land one of them.
