it really wasn't that long ago Bears fans were incited by the idiocy of drafting Cedric Benson (RIP) #4 when there was an Aaron Rodgers in the draft. the correct part was Benson shouldn't have been taken at #4; the incorrect part is the Bears drafting Rodgers and him being the same player he's been the last 10+ years. he needed to sit behind Favre and be in a McCarthy system to be the player he is. Ron Turner and Lovie Smith would've ruined him.
okay, now let's fast forward back to a couple years ago, John Fox would've done the same to Mahomes. I should say John Fox has coached some great guys, but when he came to the Bears he wasn't that same guy that had Peyton Manning in a couple Super Bowls in the extreme twilight of his career, and he wasn't the same guy that got horrible Tim Tebow to the playoffs. no, Mahomes' success is being on a team that's stacked and operating with the offensive brain trust of an Andy Reid. Nagy as far as I'm concerned is a second rate Reid until proven otherwise at this point... his motivational skills and shit aside. (he's akin to a Ditka right now, right?)
flapping your dicks about "omg we could've had that guy!" when the circumstances between the Bears and Chiefs franchises were like polar opposites achieves nothing but make you all look like bitching old ladies.
oh also, another point that's right, trading from #3 to #2 to get Trubisky is still a monumentally boneheaded move. especially considering those picks that were blown to acquire him is where Pace actually finds good players in the draft.
