such an L trade for the bears.

I’m not sure I see this as an L. Fields gets a weapon and the Bears weren’t going to pay Smith the money he wanted. They had half a year left on Smith and a year and a half with Claypool. Next years Bears team will have Mooney, Claypool and a first round WR to go along with 125+m in cap space for defensive help.

claypool is a JAG though.

Is he though? Fields works with Mooney. Is Mooney significantly better than Claypool? I don’t think so. Claypool is significantly better than everyone on the team outside of Mooney. This gives Fields two starting caliber WRs in the NFL. Claypool has gone over 850 yards two seasons in a row. How many Panthers make it to 850? Only DJ.

Looks like the Bears are using a similar approach to what the Panthers did years ago when we added big WR's in Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess to make up for Cam's inaccuracy.

Bears  WR's are now Claypool, N'Keal Harry, Equanimeous St. Brown 

Mooney

    • Ill just be happy if Tepper doesnt make another locker room appearance the rest of the season. 
    • The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.    
    • We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
