What to do at QB in 2021

[Hawkeye OG]

I guess rephrase my comment, I wouldn’t start a rookie with what we’re putting out there to protect him. Until that’s upgraded It’s pointless. Just my opinion.

That's fair, most people agree with that.

I think when we start talking QBs in 2021, I am imagining the GM will make some FA signings and draft some young OL (2nd/3rd). Bears will not be trotting out there this same line. Will it be perfect in a year? No, we will be stuck with either Leno or Massie for one more season imo, but it should be better.

I’d much rather draft a QB then trade for Darnold

 

[WindyCity]

Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy are desperate. They are going to make an aggressive move up for one of the top 4 QBs, because it buys them the most time and they don’t care about the future picks.

It is what all of us would do.

I also happen to think it is the right move, depending of course on our draft position and who falls. But as I and many others have said, they also need to develop ways to drastically address the OL, like 3 new starters kind of drastic.

While a new QB may buy them a little time, trotting out a OL next season that in any way resembles this one will not. Picking a QB who busts sucks, but it happens. Doing little to nothing to this OL is reckless and incompetent.

 

[WindyCity]

My guess is they will sign a starting OLmen and draft at least 2 at some point.

Leno
Daniels
Draft Pick/Free Agent
Whitehair
Free Agent/Draft Pick

Knowing Pace he’ll make a move up for Trask or Jones while Wilson and Lance are there.

Probably. He is an idiot.

But he won’t wait and cross his fingers and hope a good QB falls into his lap. He needs him this season, not some development mid round loser, because of Foles sucks again...

 

[JoSeCuERvO]

Find a way to draft Fields and every other pick in the draft should be O-line

 

[Smokey Robinson]

Probably. He is an idiot.

Agreed. He may be an idiot, but he has proven to be an aggressive idiot. He’ll make a move, just likely won’t be the right one.

 

[Chris Sojka]

I agree with all of the above, but foles is going nowhere.

He has a negative cap hit if you cut him. No matter who we pick up, BDN will be here next season.

This is the year to draft a QB in the first and let him sit to develop.

If he was sat I’d be cool with it.

As long as they take a tackle in 2 and next year as well. I think protecting that guy when he steps on the field marks a new Era for the bears. They should do it right.

The Bears history at getting FA Tackles has not been great. Okay, Jon Tate was good, but he came with Fred "Drive Killer" Miller... Then there was Orlando Pace...awhile later came Jermon Bushrod, then Massie.
I am sure I am missing some real "Gems" in this too. Not to fond of the Bears track record here. every draft should have at least 1-2 O-Linemen taken, imo.
Also, a Project QB every 1-2 drafts would be good.
Stop drafting positions that are already stacked 3 deep. #cough, cough Safety RB or WR

I wish he would considering what Mitch/Miller cost us in trade capital. He gets his guy in a what amounts to a bit of crap shoot and hurts the bar in the process. Time to attack this with draft numbers. His way of drafting and trading doesn't allow for a miss.
