So when this all backfires on us in a few years when Young can't stay healthy, we can blame the Texans for not sealing the deal before we could, good to know.

You were cool a last decade, but now your posts can’t stay healthy.

Could be.

But this is how you do it. What I’ve been begging to see from Tepper. And really most of our fans. Trade for your future in the draft. Stop trying cheat codes. You’re not outsmarting the NFL, and not a path maker.

While it’s kind of dumbfounding an owner can be that stupid to wait and do it the right way until now, it’s finally happening.

I’ll gladly go down swinging on this ship than some dumbass TB/Darnold/Mayfield fiasco.

Poles really should've traded #1 to the Texans then turned around and trading #2 for us. He still ends up at #9 but gets two bounties in the process.

But then they definitely don't get DJ Moore, which was probably the difference maker.

I also doubt the Panthers would be okay with the Bears playing them like that.  They would probably just settle on negotiating with the Cardinals at #3.

I am worried about Young's long-term health as well due to his lack of size but if our team drafts him are you not going to at least get behind him and support him as our QB? There are a few here that seem to want him to fail just so they can scream "I told you so" for the next few years. Yep, Young is not my choice either due mainly to his size as I feel like odds will be severely stacked against him to be successful with how small he is and I worry this may come back to haunt us something horrible but I am hoping most will at least get behind him and support him if he is the one we pick.

Agreed, at least something is being done differently instead of the past recycled failed QB castoffs from other teams. Can't accomplish anything different than the past seasons norms if we don't shake it up, take a chance and see what happens. Trying to do something different than the Rhule era crap simple gives us hope and hope is a good thing.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      The best part is they compliment each other. Chuba is a more patient runner, patiently waiting for gaps to form while Rico is more explosive. I wish they would use Rico more like McCaffery was used - getting him the ball in space to take advantage of his explosivness and violence. Then have Chuba pound the middle for the tough yards.

      I loved those late 90s-early 2000s Miami teams.  If McGahee hadn’t had that injury, he would probably have been a Top 10 all-time rusher, no doubt in my mind.  The fact he didn’t lose his leg below the knee is still a miracle.  And the fact he came back from that, made it in the NFL, and still carved out a career that included over 8k yards rushing and two pro bowls is damn impressive.  It just demonstrates how good he would have been had he never had the injury.  Prior to that, he was like nothing I had ever seen.  Like a bigger, more physical and elusive Reggie Bush.

      Boozer may end up going higher in the draft, but agree about Caleb Wilson. Give me that dude, think he's going to translate very well and has the attitude I want on a young team.  My perfect world as of now... Trade anything not bolted down as far as vet's go. Sexton is on an expiring and would be an easy flip. Bridges, just get him somewhere else. One year left on a low $20 mil deal should be an easy trade...but the apron for many teams could haunt us.  LaMelo is the issue. Likely would have to trade our problem to someone else for their problem (Ja, Zion, Zach Lavine) to make contracts somewhat match up.  I want to build around last year's draft class, get as many bites at this draft class as possible, etc. If we get lucky and get #1 or #2, wonderful. If not, get into the top 5 or so and grab Caleb Wilson.
