If we can turn Leatherwood into something when the Raiders gave up on him that fast that bodes very well for the future.

I mean McDaniels is a goofy fuck who lost the locker room quickly in Denver and from the jump wanted to trade Cutler for Matt Cassell and despite Jay being what he was for us, he was still millions of miles more talented than Cassell was. I don't trust McDaniels' judge of talent tbh. That team just ran David Carr outta town and got nothing for him - he's a incompetent fucker.
That being said, Leatherwood could still just be bad - I'm just intrigued by him.

Brutal. Elite physical skills, with a Checkdown Charlie mentality.

Jones would be getting crucified after this quote if the Bears drafted him.

With good reason. He's a non qb drafted in 1st round.

Yes maybe he can get some decent play this year and then sign a big free agent deal so Poles can get a comp pick for him!!

But when it comes time to decide between a player who can be something and a player who can be something AND was drafted by you, who are you going to pick?

GM’s will make their decision with their ego(at least the bad ones will). Should base the decision on potential and production.

But if everything else is the same, even the good GMs will choose THEIR guy. Like you said, ego.

Yes in equal situations, their guy is the pick.

What do you mean? That sounds like a great cultural, locker room and organization fit for the Bears.

Especially if their guy is cheaper as is the case with Carter.

With Wright doing well, running with the WRs and Jones acting all Beta, I guess this would be my selection for the players I was wrong about Thread.
Feeling better and better about being wrong.

You are right. The good GMs make sound decisions while bad GMs make decision influenced by attempts to make themselves look better than they really are.

Well as much as I'd love a comp pick he's under contract next year too for 2.6. And it's guaranteed money since he was a 1st round pick so unless he shits the bed and the Bears eat it he's here for a bit.
