TLDR synopsis. The Bears are fucked and should get Cam Newton. So still fucked.
Also Watson wont be traded.
How far SI has fallen when their reports can be mistaken for CCS posters.I thought this guy had some sort of insider info. Instead, it's probably a poster from here
Nagy looking at Taylor:
I think Tyrod would be a nice gap solution, but maybe I am bias after seeing Trubisky play against good competition and never really beating anyone. The reality is the only QB that has any play making ability is Winston, but Nagy and Pace are on the hot seat (like the article mentioned) so he is not going to be an option.
The reality Trubisky and Foles are both the best BACKUP options in the league, but neither are going to win you much.
I'm going to predict that they are going forward with Foles as the starter with the concept of improving the O-line. They will take a shot at one of the QBs in the draft, but I do not have any idea if they will trade up or back or stay put. Problem with that is the rookie will be the backup and likely asked to step in when Foles begins to play poorly or gets hurt (too early).
I'm not sure I see a clear path to fixing the QB position without trading up, I'm not interested in trading up for anyone other than Wilson.
Stay put for Jones, if that is who they are looking at.

I can see a 4th.Jones is not getting consistently great draft reports. A couple of sites have him as a 3rd/4th. It will be interesting to see where he ends up as some do have him in the late 1st as well.
His weak arm talent reminds you of Cutler?Trading up is the worst thing the Bears could do.
Trading down would make more sense.
I feel like Jones is the next Jay Cutler, only worse. He will not make it in the NFL. it’s hard work, not like his residency at Alabama. If we draft Jones, in my opinion, we will be right back to where we are now in 2 years.
Nothing about Jones reminds me of Cutler.....Jones does not have that kind of arm strength, and while he has a great situation, he preformed well in that system, and played against the BEST teams in all of college.Trading up is the worst thing the Bears could do.

Sounds like Trubisky will be affordable, but what's the point? Bears need some fresh bodies at the position. Cam would be a disaster so not sure what the author is thinking on that one. If the Bears do go the vet FA route - Brissette would be the most intriguing to me.
Personally, I'd prefer to just plan on starting Foles and draft a QB that doesn't involve having to trade up for. The only QB worthy of trading up for not named Lawrence would be Wilson and I think that's going to be to much. Use the draft/FA to build up the OL. 2021 is going to be brutal for the Bears so might as well focus on solidifying some positions. Go into 2022 with Trask/Jones/Lance as QB1 and depending on Bears draft position, take another QB. Fuck it. Bears have to start taking shots on guys until they find one.
