The Bears did not show interest in Watson because like other teams they scouted him poorly and misjudged him...

While they were at the combine they said hey to the consensus first off the board QB in the draft. Cool.

I'm just opening up the possibility not saying it's true. I have a different viewpoint because the only black QB I've seen play is Campbell and he got 1 start.
The fact that we have to go all the way back to guys like Evans and Stewart is it wrong for me to assume that's suspect?

IDK about "meaningful" but the last time we actually drafted a blk Qb was 1977 Vince Evans ( and GM Jim Finks wanted him to change positions. So Evans had to write in his contract no change from Qb. True story). Evans had a laser arm. At one point
he and wr James Scott.....led the NFL in yards per catch. Evans was always throwing bombs to Scott. THEN the Bears let
Scott go to Canada ?
LOL Evans once had to play with Wr Brian Bashnagel, who had a caste on his arm. Now the sad thing is Bashnagel was the Bears best wr at that time. ?

i know you just want to argue but didn't the majority of scouts say he was #1 QB or am I just trying to argue?

If there was a history of recent Bears racism sure, but I find it hard to see that when they had a long time black head coach that Virginia supposedly adored and everything the Bears do for the Chicago disadvantaged youth....
Casually throwing out racism on an org that has done what the Bears have is a little ignorant.

There was little consensus. If Watson was supposedly a sure fire number 1 he would have been drafted as such.
Don't mistake what TV draftniks say vs the reality of what teams do.
If Watson was a can't miss number 1 he would have been drafted as such.
A lot of people had Trubisky rated 1.

Not even the most naive football fan thought pace would go into that season with that high if a draft pick and have Glennon as the franchise QB. Pace tipped his hand,panicked and then bet against himself. Now four years later Watson might be available and Pace is staring at Wentz

NFL scouting is not a complete science....nor is it purely art. Its imperfect and even great scouts make mistakes...
If it were, Mahomes would have been drafted 1 overall.

Several draft previews had Watson as a second round pick with several mentioning his previous ACL issue. Lots thought it was a week class of QBs with one year wonder Trubisky as the #1 guy on their boards.

Sorry, the only thing dumber than the Bears are cheap argument is the Bears are racist argument.
The Bears (McCaskey's) just don't know shit about football. It's really that simple. It would be like me owning a soccer team. Although after a few decades I'd like to think I could learn a thing or two about soccer. ?

i don' t think the bears as an organization is necessarily overt racists for sure fwiw. It could be that because they are so football stupid and inept at putting together a decent team that they just come off as foolish and a lil bit racist. I mean they really just care about making money win or lose, and I think winning means more to their players than to the owners, but the players are just the help amirite?Sorry, the only thing dumber than the Bears are cheap argument is the Bears are racist argument.

Pace does seem to prefer certain types of QBs over others though. Kinda sus but I'm not gonna go on about it.

unless you have proof, accusing someone of covert racism is just as bad......
Pace has drafted exactly 1 QB, Both Mahomes and Watson were drafted outside the top 10.....that is hardly a track record nor proof of racism.
