3 QB's going in the top 9 would be amazing for the bears.

Just need new york to do the classic dumb new york thing and take shadeur.

In that scenario maybe mason graham does actually fall to 10
I think the Raiders, Jets, and Saints are all at least possibilities. I don’t really think the Giants would do it. But if 2 are gone by 10, I think the value of Sanders at 10 starts to really go up. I think the Browns and Steelers really want a QB and I think wildcards like the Colts and Rams exist to force the Steelers or Browns to be proactive.

For them, I think they take BPA and wait until next year for a QB, or throw the hail mary and take Dart.

I’m not too impressed with Ward or Sanders, and from a pure talent perspective, Dart has a better shot at making it than either of those two. And that’s still kind of a long shot. Lets you know what I think of this year’s QB class.
Right now, it’s not like next year looks amazing. I get that someone will shine… someone always does, but why wait? A year ago no one thought Penix or Nix would go high. You think those teams regret the decision? They weren’t BPA and that was a much deeper draft than this one. The options at 9 aren’t really exciting. QB seems far more obvious.

The bears have a lot of good young players at many positions.

You dont replace developing players you just drafted a few years ago. Only morons dont understand it takes time to develop draft picks.

Dexter is certainly one of those players. He has a very high upside, most DT's take 3-4 years to breakout.
That's an opinion, def not a fact.

Assuming Mike Green is there, if the Bears pass on him to take Shemar Stewart I will definitely be doing dick ripping
I am not arguing in favor of Shemar Stewart by any means, but I won’t rip my dick off if they pass on a woman abuser

“Developing”
“Drafted a few years ago”

The life cycle of NFL head coaches is 4-5 years in most cases. How much time do you think they will allow for a player to develop?

Huh? Ward is so much more polished than Dart, not even close.

Racer, your Cade McNown evaluation bars you from any further QB discussion.

I was on a flight with him and Rex Tucker one time and he looked like a high school wrestler. He played QB like a high school wrestler too.

I could totally understand going that route, as well.

Most players take 3-4 years in every sport.

But if you think otherwise we like stupid

You think dexter lawrence was the player he was after a year?

Perfect example is Jamo on the lions. Most bears fans thought he was a bust, me included. Now he looks like a legit NFL weapon after year 3.

I've been mostly spot-on since the Cade debacle tho, but your point is fair, can't really dispute.
