Agreed and a good reason to keep Foles too. Let them play the year out and groom Lance.
They don't even need to groom him if they don't want to. They just have to go out there and stay healthy enough between them to start all seventeen games.
Lance has no business seeing the field this year so they could fill those holes next offseason for him
It's shaping up to be a decent class of offensive tackles next year in free agency. I doubt New Orleans can afford to keep Ryan Ramczyk and Terron Armstead. Its rare good veteran left tackles who are not in the twilight of their careers become available, and if the Bears are drafting Trey Lance he has either had a shocking fall down draft boards or the Bears have parted with so much draft capital that they wont have an opportunity at a first round talent next year.
Don't forget the subpar receiving corps. One good veteran and one promising, but undersized 2nd year player. Pretty much guarantees whoever the QB is will fail.
Subpar receiving corps is fine. The Bears can find competent pass catchers down the road if need be. A shitty wide receiver dropping the ball doesn't get a quarterback seriously injured.
Well yes but if the two statues in front of him get hurt (QB1/2)
Are you comfortable with Naggy developing him? And if he gets fired lance is saddled on to the next regime like trubisky was. With that said I would be happy with lance just sucks the way the bears do business shit never works out right
They should hire an outside qb developing firm and tell Nagy he isn't allowed to talk to him.
This is more what I mean by taking a “safe “ player at 20 moreso than not wanting a Qb
I think Matt Nagy will be a little preoccupied trying to save his job. It'll probably more Tom Herman, John DeFilippo and Tom Herman developing him than Matt Nagy, if I were to guess.
What if trading into the top ten costs the the Bears their second round pick?
