I was just opening up to the idea of the Bears pairing Barkley with Fields.

Barkley was a pipe dream anyway. Giants are gonna suck though, Jones isn’t that guy, and they got way too lucky in close games last year, once that flips they’ll be under .500 and will be calling for drafting a QB.

Bears need a dynamic running back to compliment Fields. I like Jahmyr Gibbs in the early second.

There are some pretty good RBs in the draft, including Gibbs. Barkley would have helped the Bears, however they should be able to find a very good caliber RB in the draft (without having to pay the hefty contract).

This draft is loaded at runningback and the Bears should be able to do a lot of moving down to accumulate a lot of picks. Not just from first overall. Glad the Giants franchise tagged Saquon Barkley, saved the Bears from themselves.

I was just stating that you're acting like your opinion is the end all be all in regards to the LT position. All in on a 5th round rookie? He was labeled the starter on a team that was torn down. You have your thoughts and I have mine. I just want better out of my LT... that's it that's all. And if they move him to RT then so be it. IMHO he is currently below average as a pass protector and the tape clearly shows he needs a lot of work. He is trending up which is nice, but leaves a bit to be desired. That's all I'm saying. Appreciate the dialogue, but what you consider a waste of time may not be for someone else. That's why GMs are hired and fired all the time. Good day.

True but I would rather use that pick on other needs since money is not a concern.

Any position other than runningback and I'd agree, but the position usually ages so poorly that its not a good bet. The Bears can use a day three pick and get a productive player.

More likely they trade up to one as will have a ton of first round picks to do so. Unless they want to offer multiple first rounders for Fields.
Don't think 40m is the issue. He wants a fully or near fully guaranteed contract.

My pipe dream now that Saquon is gone is a double trade back with Houston then like Carolina or Tennesee. Take JSN at 11. Get 33 from Houston and 40 or whatever from the Titans. Get the top edge guy at 33. Take Gibbs at 40. Then at 54 and 64 take the top 2 OL or OL/CB. Then have an extra 1 and 2 in 2024 and extra 1 in 2025

Welcome to the Bears. Trade down twice and end up with the Titans 11th and draft JSN.
Or better yet. Trade down from 1 to 12 and get 35, and Houston's 2 first next year or one of their firsts and a 3rd this year and 2nd next year.

You're acting like my opinion is the end all be all. I never said it was. As always, my opinion is based on facts that are available. And it is a fact that Jones had a relatively successful rookie year without competition last year.
I apologize for saying it's a waste of time. This is a message board, you can talk about whatever you want. Don't mean to come off like I run anything. Just saying, you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you want Jones to get a serious competitor or moved to the bench. It's simply not going to happen.
