Up next Sam Darnold

[Warrior Spirit]

I'll pass.

That's more than Darnold can do...

I look at it like this. If its for a second round pick, Id rather have him on a one, possibly two year deal over any QB we'd be drafting at that same second pick. Its a gamble for sure, but its not that big of a risk for the possible reward.

 

[mecha]

just draft a guy. think of it this way, I'll repeat again, if they don't pan out, again, Pace and Nagy are gone, and the next GM will actually have a high first round draft pick to use if it's not traded away on some dumb dickfuck trade for someone else's quarterback where they will inevitably be pussy yes men too and draft another bust at the position.

What even is Darnold's value? To me, he doesn't seem like he would be worth a 2nd round pick to come to this dumpster fire. If his cost was a 5th, sure. Let's trade for Darnold, and he can compete with the other QB that we get. But if Darnold is the answer, Pace and Nagy are going to look fucking stupid.

Right now, it's looking like they better draft a QB to save face. Because what better options are there out there than drafting a QB? (I have no faith that Pace pulls off a deal for Watson)

Also drafting a QB and showing improvement on offense could save both Nagy and Pace jobs. The Bears schedule is brutal in 2021.

A 4th round pick is probably "fair" compensation, but I'd be shooting for giving them picks in the 5/6/7th rounds. Giving up a 2nd round pick for a bust , who you then have to extend or opt into an expensive 5th year option sounds downright comical.

Word around the league is that it's looking more and more like Darnold will be on the chopping block, especially since it's looking like the Jets are going to pick a QB at #2. Here's a take on an article about Darnold

"Darnold was never really given an opportunity to really show if he was worth the overall 3rd pick, he could possibly excel if given a solid offensive line and a adequate WR corps."

Well I guess that takes the Bears out of the equation - moving on.

I wouldn't put it past Pace, hell he gave up capital to move up 1 spot for a bust

OMG no.

 

[Tillman33]

The only thing favorable I’ll say about Darnold is that basically every Jet who’s left that org has had some success lol.

But Darnold has been really bad, like really bad. And Nagy is Adam Gase 2.0, so not a risk worth taking at all.

Here's a question I haven't seen brought up; how would you feel about a Trubisky for Darnold trade straight up?

You could get a better QB than Darnold with that 2nd round pick.

Why? And you can't trade what you don't own. Darnold has a lot of arm talent but he's late on reads and not good on anticipating routes either.

The same way I'd feel about trading my dog's shit for the neighbor's dog shit.

I thought I read somewhere that Darnold may cost a 2022 3rd rounder that can become a 2nd rounder.

Something like that would actually give me pause on whether or not you take a flyer on him. It doesn't wreck your 2021 draft and he is relatively cheap still in 2021 so you don't have to blow up the entire roster for the cap hit. Maybe they can even swing it to keep Robinson. I could see the Bears considering a move like that.

But, it's still Darnold and you would have to make a quick decision on whether or not to pick up his 5th year option.

I would still draft a qb this year. I don't see Darnold as a long term solution, but he could be at least an upgrade of a bridge qb over Foles. And hopefully, the Bears can trade off Foles to someplace like Philly for a bag of peanuts just to move on.

Finally, I cannot see any rush to obtain someone like Darnold. I would think there are still a lot of moves on veteran/bridge qb's that teams will be making that might give other, better options than Darnold. Besides, I think most of the NFL is waiting to see if the Texans make any move with Watson.

Darnold is cheap but he sucks. You get what you pay for.

I’m hearing Mitch will get between 8-10 mil. I feel like this has to be the way to go. It’s a safe move that doesn’t cost any draft capital and allows us to still make a move for a QB rd 1.

DONT WANT DARNOLD AT ALL

I'd be shocked if Trubisky is on the roster in 2021. Nagy doesn't think he can read defenses well enough for what he wants to do. Nagy can't seem to change to an offense that would take advantage of Trubisky's skills. Fitzpatrick or Minshew are better options to run Nagy's offense if they can't get a better upgrade. I'm starting to hope for Minshew and Jones.

I don’t think Minshew has shown enough to say that. Also, even as a journeyman I think Fitzpatrick will cost more than Trubisky. I’d be ok with Fitz, but not at sacrificing other FA moves.
