Drew Brees is a topic with his apparent retirement. in case you didn't notice he had multiple 5000+ yard/40+ TD seasons, he didn't make it to the Super Bowl in any of them. you can cite multiple top flight quarterback talents, they didn't win Super Bowls either. Tom Brady has pulled down the most titles of anyone, he was never flashy in the stats columns, he just played disciplined and really all you need to do at the position is just not lose games.
I'm not saying you need to run the ball 35 times a game or go 4000% meatball on defense, I'm just saying there's more positions than just that one that gets you there and wins you the Lombardi trophy. Patrick Mahomes was anointed as the greatest ever (you can see it in multiple threads here over the years) and he literally lucked into the 49ers running out of steam to win it all. and become celebrated with the most expensive contract ever.
this is entirely my point why it's completely batshit and total nonsense to trade 12 picks to get another team's quarterback.

Can the Bears sign and trade for multiple firsts?

I think the iowa hawkeyes broke me for football in general a long time ago. I never get too high or down anymore. I can get excited during a game and pissed off sure...but mostly just laugh it off now. Zero expectations.

I've always tried to be open-minded about what the Bears do, but sign Dalton to compete with Foles will destroy what little interest I have...

So many quality options and this isn't using hindsight.

Losing the Halas Trophy at Solider Field to the Green Bay Packers in front of the entire ****ing world.
That was the only punch I could not roll with.

If you’re a long time bears fan each regime has taken turns breaking us. The most recent bending over is obviously signing glennon and drafting trubisky.

Broke me? I'm not broken, nothing the Bears have done has altered my desire for the Bears to win it all, again. Have I been frustrated at times, sure. Broken though? No. The day I announce I'm leaving Bear Fandom and joining the cheese head fandom, you'll know I'm broken. Barring that. Have a great day.

I actually used the F-bomb when they pick Mitch, because I thought that it HAD to be Watson......
I wanted Cutler to figure it out so bad, but coming to the realization that he was not going to was a very close second
Third was throwing the Ball in a Monsoon when we were dominating the Colts in the run game during the SB....
