Remember since you are the one that spoke dipshit Flus coming back with a rookie QB into existence, I blame that forever on you.

You think the Bears should use the first overall and dump a QB to get worse production?

On the other side if he had more B12 feeding his brain he might realize how bad it is on this team.

Wright is left tackle who played either side about 50/50 and was right tackle because other players in college couldn't play right. Otherwise he would've been left most of the time.
It is complete BS that he is only a RT and it was a wasted pick if we got him to only be a RT.

I think this is a decision about the long term and not the short term. There’s a chance Fields plays better next season. And I fully expect people to lose their mind it that happens. I’m more concerned about where we are 2-3 years from now. Even Mahomes sat for a year. I’m perfectly fine with that if needed. Solve this thing for the long term. Anyone worried about next year is missing the big picture.

The 1.1 draft choice needs to perform.
I don’t think the Bears can wait another three years and hope it works out.
Lawrence, Burrows, Stroud. All drafted early and performed.
If Williams can’t live up to those players first years then he may not be the player to draft at 1.

Completely disagree. Getting the QB right is a 10-15 year deal. If it takes a year or two then so be it.
Some QBs are great year one. Some aren’t. Stop being so short sighted.

Senior year, started all 13 games at right tackle.
Junior year, started all 13 games at left tackle.
Equally great at either side those years.
Whole college career was 27 at right, 13 at left. 2 at right guard.
I was trying to find the TN interview where he said he doesn't care which side he plays and goes where he's needed, they needed him on the right senior year because of the other players so that's what he did. It wasn't about him not being able to play left, it was about the other players.
I did find this which basically says as much.
Get to know Darnell Wright: Q&A with the new Chicago Bears offensive tackle’s college coach
Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles wanted a full test of Darnell Wright’s resilience and grit. In the final stages of the team’s draft preparation in April, Poles was strongly considering using his first first-round pick as an NFL GM on an offensive lineman and had Tennessee’s Wright...

If Cunningham thinks #10 pick on a RT when you have questions about your 5th round LT is a good plan he should be fired.
I figured we got him that high because he could play either side. My only question was Jones, but if he's letting people through better to have that on the right than the left.

So how will you know if Caleb Williams is the guy if he can’t perform as well as other QBs drafted in his same position?
Wouldn’t you see similar success as other QBs that compare?
We are going to disagree on this.
I think the bar is set at Burrows, Lawrence and Stroud. If he can’t perform similarly, it’s a bad sign.

I'm all for it. As much as I prefer Fields, if we draft a qb we have to do everything to get it right. No more hurting their development.

So Stroud is better than Peyton Manning and that can never be changed because of the rookie years each had?
Stroud can be a flash in the pan and bust from here on out but he's better. That's already set in stone.

To be fair, Flus and the lineman coach said they teach all their players every position so they can be versatile. I’m assuming for the tackles, they practice both sides. And guards practice all guard positions.
