one QB always falls. these dudes in front of us are going to go the vet route. another team will reach for some rando. I've seen this movie before.

Hmm…wishful thinking IMO.  The top 3 guys are going very early IMO.  I think it is basically a sure thing the first 2 picks will be QB.

Im completely fine with trading for Fields, I think he has all the tools but im not giving up a first for him.

I would give ‘em a 4th rounder.  No more.  Take or leave it

This was joking above.  I would trade 9 and maybe a 2 and 3 to get Fields in a heartbeat

That would be soooooooooooooooo stupid. 

CJ Stroud, yes. Trading significant draft capitol on the hope of this guy being Kyler Murray light is a thing of pipe dreams.

Someone get their pipes and check what they're smoking.

It's not different than fans wanting to draft the next Cam Newton.  How about we draft the next new qb that everyone else will be dying for? I like that idea better because the other guys are one-off and will never be made again.

The other thing that makes this take ultra silly is thinking the Bears, who know they don’t have a good line, would move on from Fields to draft a kid who plays QB at 185 pounds with a small frame. 
 

He’d get killed behind that line.

Cam is a generational talent. There is no other Cam Newton.

Josh Allen maybe but Cam wasn't just a good runner he was an ELITE runner in the open field delivering blows.

Richardson is a reach if people "see" Cam Newton they must be squinting really hard to really blur his image to make themselves believe it because the stats, the dominance isn't there.

Pure potential, and that "potential" has to survive in and adapt to the NFL which is already a huge physical, mental learning curve.

Show your work.

Hes 1-3 in the post season while averaging 55% completion percentage and 225 passing yards.  Hes thrown 3 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in those games.  Hes rushed for 1 touchdown and had 5 fumbles.  He only lost 2 of those which still puts him at 4 touchdowns and 7 turnovers in his 4 playoff games.

VERY hard pass

Zero interest in Fields, he’s an even worse passer than Lamar and will want a huge contract after next year.

I’ve said from the start that the Bears should trade him and start a new clock on a QB contract extension with one with better passing upside, but that’s also why I wouldn’t want us to take him on.

He's Cam Newton bought from Wish.

[Shocker]

The Bears already drumming up interest so they can move down

Fitt never wanted Fields. It's no leap to say he still doesn't want him.

What would they do with two QB's from the top ten and no oline? Bears are looking for maximum trade value they're playing the smoke and mirrors game. If we want the pick their open for business but they aren't going to give us a sweetheart deal.

Bears oline is actually vastly underrated. It's one of the better units in the NFL

Rhule didn't want Fields.

The general belief is that Fitterer didn't either but It's also possible he just ultimately tagged along because Rhule had final say and was known to just keep badgering people till they "agreed" with whatever he wanted to do.

Doubt we'll ever know if Fitterer felt any different but it doesn't really matter now.
