There continues to be noise out of Chicago that the Bears might draft Brice Young or Stroud with the number one. The rumor on at least one site had him traded to the Panthers for the #9 pick and maybe a later round pick. Should the Panthers have any interest? Would that be a better choice than Carr if the Panthers are thinking options?

This is all going to be a ruse so they can prison rape someone for that no. 1 pick. You want a qb? You better come get our no. 1 or we will take a qb.  

I honestly think that's most likely. The entire sports media thinks they should build around Fields. Most of their fanbase thinks they should build around Fields. If you move Fields and take another QB, you better be right because holy poo... if you draft a bust and Fields flourishes elsewhere you're gonna be the biggest jackass in sports.

I hope there's smoke to this fire, because I would be stoked for Fields. I know he's primarily been a runner with subpar passing stats/tape in CHI, but the first year or two is the stage that is the toughest as these rookies get acclimated to the NFL. 

Fields has spent this time in Chicago and now we would inherit him as he's starting to trend upward.

He would also cost a lot less than a move up for an unknown rookie. Also, Poles/Eberflus did not draft him, so maybe there is that old addage of wanting "their guy" and handpicking from the best of the best this year would help them reset while using draft assets to add players around Young/Stroud.

This is one where I would definitely trust our coaches to make the evaluation. There's ample film of Fields in the NFL, albeit without much help around him. If they like him better than any QB at #9 then be my guest.

Would love to see Fields with a good coaching staff and o line. Yeah a lot of his impressive plays were running but he also made some good throws that showed potential. 
I’d give him a chance.

He has elite NFL arm talent. No doubt about it.

If you give me the choice between Justin Fields and say Will Levis I'm taking Justin Fields all day everyday no hesitation. Seems pretty obvious at this point that the Bears choose Fields over the entire '23 draft class field.

I think I would rate Justin Fields the best quarterback in this class, possibly. If I completely discount Stroud's Peach Bowl game and knock Young for his size then Fields just all-round looks better coming out of college.

Maybe I've watched Stroud's Maryland game from this year one too many times at this point, but he's starting to spook me with how poorly he adjusts to pressure.

Eh idk if they view fields as better than this QB class, but the value of 1-1 with a smaller drop from this class vs fields, they are basically all in here in fields and all the picks the next few years. It's a calculated risk that the over quantity of picks and fields are better than less picks and a new QB. 

It will be really interesting in 3 years how this plays out. If fields is a top 15 guy and they hit on the picks they get for 1-1 they can turn that dumpster fire around. But if 1-1 goes supernova and fields is 15th best eh might not be so rosy.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
