Improved immensely? You are really low standards for “improved immensely”.

Of course you do.

This is my freaking Rhule. You are gonna have to eventually stop you bellyaching and stop being so miserable.

Yeah that would be a red flag. IMO, football mentality is hard if not borderline impossible to fix. You can fix mechanics but most of the time the QB’s mentality you get out of college is the mentality you are gonna have to live with while he is the QB here.

If we wanted Levis or Richardson we could have gotten one or the other at 9. One of them is gonna fall. I have a feeling. Both are projects and should not start week one. People say to trust Reich and co but if we spend all those resources and Moore and come out with a project player my trust in this coaching staff will be damaged a lot.

Then why did we trade up to one?

If it is true the team likes Richardson, I call bull. Why the hell did we trade up to the first pick. Richardson will be there at 9.

I don’t understand why. He won’t be able to start day one and his bust potential is Darnolds level of bad.

Pretty much agreed with everything you wrote. Yeah I know we HAD to give Moore up for the trade to work, it seems like a WR being in the mix was one of the sticking points for the Bears trading the pick regardless. It has come out the Raiders wanted to move up but had no young WR to offer up as trade.

I am less concerned about the QB now then I am about the WR and TE position. Wouldn’t be surprised if we go all offense in the draft. 2nd pick definitely needs to be a WR, in a very weak class, or TE. Honestly the more I think about it the more I wish Chicago would have just taken 3 firsts instead of Moore. Gonna be a really rough year for the rook if we can’t get him some weapons.

I never want to see that damn word ever again. Versatility is something you want in college not the damn NFL. Screw Rhule.

Wasn’t that mostly Rhules fault? I mean the contracts he gave them were still terrible but Rhule was the one pushing for 2 bad linemen.

I remember some people not wanting to draft a QB and us keep Clausen because no QB was worth a 1st overall in their eyes, also they were Clausen fans.

I just read above he wants 16 million potentially. No thank you. I like Bozeman but no center is worth LT money.

I hope it doesn’t come down to paying Bozeman or Burns. We can afford both…maybe?

Seems to be a Fitterer MO. Similar to Hurney’s terrible contract extensions.

My problem with Bryce was always height. I just wish he was a few inches taller. He does not look over 200 pounds which was a surprised at the combine. But Stroud is a statue in the pocket and rarely goes off script. Some of the complaints are similar to Carr. On paper, from a pure QB standpoint, Young is the better QB. But that height. Taking a short QB is a risk. As I said before I am fine with either QB. I like the potential they both have, which is elite. But I will probably flip flop a lot till draft day.

While I would be happy with Young or Stroud, I prefer Stroud. I agree with people saying why take a chance with the Texans screwing us, when we just spent a ton of resources moving up to the 1st pick? If we can 100 percent make sure the Texans won’t take who we want I am all for moving back, but if there is even a shadow of a doubt. Just stay put, imo. I still think the Panthers will stay pat unless something changes.

None of the Negative Nelly stuff.

Where else was he gonna go. He probably would have just been drafted by another team and never given a chance. Corral as the franchise QB died when he got injured.

Bears fans are happy.

No problem.

Already addressed this. Didn’t reread it after I made the post. I am aware smokescreen makes no sense.
