Take QB out of the equation

I’m going to try to be positive here.


I understand a lot of people wanted Fields.  I would have considered him myself, but for whatever reason the team wasn’t that high on him.

A lot of us wanted Sewell, but he was gone.

A lot of us would have liked to trade down, no idea what type of offers they had.

If you take QB or trading down out of the equation, we got a really good prospect at a high value position that was also a position of need.

Outside of Fields or trading down, who would you have really preferred?

You have to. There's no choices now, it's Sam and no prospect in the next years draft that they'll be able to get to.

This is similar to the Jake days, but only if Jake came in as a certified bust.

Maybe we'll get lucky one year and have so much talent throughout almost every position on the team that we can lose another Super Bowl.

Horn tbh and I got my wish.

I can't understate how talented I think Horn is 

There has to be a reason people were passing on Fields. And we'll learn. He's a Bear now. They have their path, we have ours.

At the end of the day 31 other teams look stupid to fans at large while one looks like a genius. There's no sure fire way. Trust your gut, go from there.

Stop getting upset about what you can't control.

The longer i think about it, the more that i like horn for our pick. I am just worried that sam darnold is not the answer, just like teddy wasnt... and i think it will be a while before we have a chance to draft a decent qb prospect. Even if darnold sucks, our team is good enough to go 8-8 perpetually. It may be a while before we get a shot at another qb

Follow you instinct and you'll make it to game 8 of next season still posting, and not hiding after an off-season of chest thumping.

I’m not sold on darnold at all, he was one of the worst rated qbs, they are doing the same thing with darnold as they did Teddy, if what they saw from fields wasn’t enough to warrant the pick, I’m cool with that as long as that shows on the field, when he plays, cause if he’s great and darnold flops, I will lose what little trust in the front office

No he wasn't lol. Darnold would be a top 3 pick in this draft nd they have gone over this already many times lol.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
