1. What do you mean "gives them a second two?" 
2. Why would I look online when I am just sharing a story of my afternoon with die hard bears fans?

Claypool is a #2 WR. Mooney is a #2. They don’t have a number 1 but outside of them they have a few #4s. So the trade made sense to help Fields out. 
 

Apologies. I thought your friend was suggesting that the fandom was ready to move on from Fields and I didn’t realize it was just his personal take.

My 3 buddies shared their view of the trade was that the bears over paid for Claypool. Mainly bc Claypool was a 2nd round pick and the Bears paid a 2nd round pick for him and now he is about to command big money. They mainly preferrred that the Bears kept the pick bc there is no need to be trading any picks right now.

and All good.

Pickens made Claypool expendable.

Over his career he ran about 5-6 times per game... in that era of football that was a running QB. You can't compare him to today's football. Especially if you didnt grow up watching that era of football due to the context.

I've watched the game for 50 years, in earnest for 46. That being said, I have my opinions. Young would probably not meet the threshold of dual-threat QB today, so it's kind of hard for me to consider him the best dual-threat QB of "all time." He was the greatest of his time, maybe...He was really adept as a pocket as much as any QB in his day, and his passing yards are indicative of that.

I agree about the trade, and I generally don't understand trading a pick for an average guy that only has 1-2 years left on their rookie deal. Same way I felt about Henderson. Just give Keith Taylor more snaps, it's basically the same numbers. Shenault is cool because that was 6th/7th round picks which are basically just prioritizing UDFA's

Bears are in position to draft Johnson from TCU to be the 1, move Mooney to 2 and Claypool to 3. That’s a potentially dangerous receiving core. Factor in it seems like Kmet is finally emerging and the Bears have a great run game. They just need to draft an offensive lineman in the second, 

Then they have the most money in football to bring in free agent defensive players. They are in a good spot going forward. 
 

I want that feeling here. We need to draft a QB.

i had a feeling my message would land the wrong way..... by "you" i meant in general, not specifically you @top dawg

11 touchdowns and 1 turnover the last three games for Fields.

When he had to throw today, he wasn't good.  In the 4th qtr, 3-7, with a pick 6 and two sacks.  

He may eventually be a good qb, it's too early to tell at this point.  But right now, if defenses contain his running (admittedly not an easy thing), he generally doesn't look good.

Do note he followed the pick 6 the following drive was a 3 yard run by Monty, 6 yard completion and then this 60+ yard td run. 
And if him not being “a good qb” is resulting in three game stretches of 11 TDS and 1 pick then the NFL is in trouble if he continues to trend upwards.

He has played well, no doubt about it.  But at some point, defenses will just play contain and he will have to beat people with his arm.  In truth, Detroit adjusted today, and he wasn't able to do anything on the last drive.  How he reacts to those adjustments will determine whether he becomes great, or just another almost good enough.

What @Davidson Deac IIis sharing is pretty significant. I get that Fields can run, and he is elite when it comes to it... but what he is lacking is the most important thing that someone in his position needs. Fields is not a good passer right now.  Yes, he would be elite if he could improve in passing.... but right now.. he is horrid when it comes to passing the football and bc he can run so well.... does not mean he should get a free pass.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
