Official, Brand Spanking New, 2020 Chicago Bears Thread - Gotta be better than 2019? (It's NOT)

[Shawn1112]

My brother and I were BS'ing yesterday about the Bears and the Stafford trade. I'm really thinking the Bears are going to bring Mitch back and possibly draft a QB. If you believe the 49ers, they said they arent trading Jimmy G. They dont have enough imo to get Watson. Who they going to go after, Winston or Ryan, they would have to overpay for either after seeing what Stafford went for. No free agents sadly are better than Mitch imo.

One article mentioned the Bears made an offer for Stafford but the Rams offered a lot more.

Few rumors like that floating around the local media. One says they offered more than the Rams which I highly doubt

I heard the other way around, the Bears offered more than the Rams, but they certainly aren't trading their QB to a division contender that would make the team a top competitor for years to come.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Because the Lion's even had a prayer against our current ineptitude.

That's one of the benefits of working with a lot of Detroit'ers at Sears, they're boat is sinking even worse, so you felt for them.

Bears fans should be glad it was rejected, if that indeed ends up being true. But in addition to the picks, Goff is there, versus... Trubs? So what would have been in this "better offer"?

 

[Flyn]

Imagine if the Bears got Stafford and he ended up on his back (O line) and injured while they lost multiple 1st rounders and players. It would have been a fiasco.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

But par for the course.

Can't see it being much different than the Cutler years. He got sacked a ton.

 

[Flyn]

Stafford is getting older and more injury prone. I'm happy the Bears didn't get him. Fix the O line then get a QB.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Again, I preface this with the fact that we were playing shit teams during our late season winning, but our patchwork O-line did a pretty decent job. Were they pro-bowlers? No. But I don't recall Mitch's jersey getting too dirty.

I think the 3 interior lineman are very serviceable. Get 2 tackles and the line will be fixed imo.
When they started that Mustipher guy at center when Whitehair got hurt, I think they found something. Whitehair and Bars as the guards are very good imo. Dont forget James Daniels is also coming back, he is only like 24 iirc. Olen Kruetz still raves about that guy and Kruetz knows a thing or 2 about playing center.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, Mustipher was a solid addition. He was the one I was thinking of. He got his opportunity and made a big splash.

 

[Shawn1112]

I wonder if Daniels could play right guard if Mustipher turns out to be the real deal at center

 

[Flyn]

If the Bears are smart, one of the prospects on this list will be on the team after Round 1. There are a lot of QB needy teams picking high this year so I expect several QBs to go fast. There are some good WRs that may go top 10. That said, I expect the Bears could get somewhere between the 3rd to 5th ranked OT/OL. Who would you like to see in a Bears uniform? Skip to the end if you want to see the full list without listening to the guy's rankings. Christian Darrisaw would be a value pick if he's still there at 20.





Vikings podcast talks about Darrisaw at 14.





Vikings can't take both of these guys... Vera -Tucker might be a better fit for them?

Please, dear Gawd, no...

Kyle Long says Bears’ starting QB in 2021 will be a familiar face

So much for an exciting offseason capped by a new starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears. It's not going to happen, at least not according to former Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long. Long gave this hot take on Wednesday about what's likely to ...

Derek Carr would be a huge mistake. If a team wants to trade their franchise QB, it's a big red flag.

They aren’t actively shopping Carr. If they trade him it will be because they have a deal in place for Watson. Btw, Carr would be a HUGE improvement for what we have. After the Lions set the bar for QB trades, the Bears are going to have to overpay in any trade. Mitch or Foles will be back and I’m thinking they will draft a QB in 2nd or 3rd and claim he is the future.

 

[Flyn]

I think the Raiders are trying for Watson. They'd trade Carr if that offered them Watson.

Absolutely

 

[Flyn]

I'd take Gruden in a second over Nagy.

 

[Flyn]

Bears should work on O line this draft and let QB go for next year. Agreed they may take a lower round QB. If they took one and he performed 2nd half of 2021 that might guarantee Pace and Nagy another year or two. They need to win a playoff game to guarantee their jobs.

 

[Flyn]

Twitter is reporting that the trade for Wentz is down to the Bears and Indy. Bears are the front runners. It is reported they are offering Tarik Cohen, a 1st round pick and Foles for Wentz. Wentz's contract may be restructured.

IMO, Pace and Nagy know their jobs are on the line unless they make a splash next year. I think they need to win at least 1 playoff game to keep their jobs. Rather than build the O line for the future, they are trying to grab a big name QB and hope. They're giving up another year of Bears future to try to stay employed. Wentz has been bad AND injury prone. Maybe he's better than Trubisky and Foles but he's no Watson/Mahomes.

 

[Flyn]

#1 question to ask is why does Philly want to dump Wentz?
