I was a little late on this.
The Bears have indeed, selected Caleb Williams to be their quarterback and took wide receiver Rome Odunze from Washington State.
Until we are proven otherwise, we have to assume that these two along with whoever else they choose this weekend will be busts. 40 years of ineptitude has given us enough to assume this is the outcome.
Your thoughts in the thread.
Take your “tax payers will cover half of the new stadium” and shove it up your ass. We law-abiding citizens give this state enough money as it is. This stadium is unnecessary. And your employer still owes $600 million for rennovations to Soldier Field. Instead of trying to put a contending team on the field for the first time in 40 years, THIS is your focus? If you think we are paying the bill, our loyal poster by the name of Chucky will pay you a visit. He will bring a wooden cooking spoon with him as well.
Sincerely,
Fans of the Chicago Bears

We are about three weeks away from the NFL Draft. Thoughts?
As we all can expect, Caleb Williams will be a Bear in about a month.
Is this the right move? Do you believe the Bears should explore picking another quarterback?
Discuss.
Even when a supposed right decision is made, the Bears find a way to fuck it up. And that’s exactly what Ryan Poles did Saturday.
As we know now, Justin Fields is going to the Steelers. All they got in return was a sixth-round pick. That could turn into a fourth if Fields plays a certain amount of time.
That’s it? That’s nothing. The Bears should have gotten at least a third-round. At least. Or maybe Fields for a pick this year? I believe as it stands now, the Bears only have four picks this year. That’s not enough to build this team up and because of this, Poles was forced to go shopping for free agents. Again.
You can’t build a contending team by signing a bunch of free agents. You build it by drafting.
But don’t worry. The Bears made up for it a couple days back by signing Brett Rypien along with his four touchdowns and nine interceptions in ten games played (four years in the league). So instead of finding another quarterback in the later rounds that could possibly be developed alongside with Bagent, they go get this fucking idiot. It’s a younger version of Nathan Peterwhacker.
“One step forward. Two steps back.”
This is another sign that the Bears are going to part with Fields at some point and annoint Caleb Williams the starting quarterback. If the Bears were going to keep Fields, then this trade doesn’t go down. Marvin Harrison Jr. would have been drafted instead.
Did the Bears pay a fair price for a player in the last year of his contract? Does anyone feel any better about the Bears being a better team after this?
D’Andre Swift? Really? The same guy who dropped a game-winning pass AGAINST the Bears?
Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert weren’t good enough? Well, if this team actually ran the damn ball, they would show that more.
Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. It appears that Fields will be traded within the next couple weeks. The Bears will take Caleb Williams and go back to square one for this franchise.
It’s just another sign of failure by Ryan Pace when he traded up for him. I shouldn’t go off about 2017. But again, DeShaun Watson was the obvious pick in the draft (not many were touting Mahomes just yet). And before anyone comes at me with “Watson was accused of this, this and this”, I’m very much aware of that. He’s a scumbag. At the time, however, nobody saw that coming. It’s out of everyone’s control. Watson should have been taken instead of Trubisky.
Whatever the Bears do will be the wrong decision. Fields stays and he continues to throw interceptions and hang onto the ball too long while doing the occasional “Houdini” act of escaping a 20-yard loss for a gain of 30. Or, Fields get traded and shines while Caleb Williams pisses all over himself. Then two years later, the Bears are searching for their next quarterback because Ryan Poles doesn’t know how to pick them.
I base these words off of the last 30 years of watching this team. A lot of these quarterbacks may have been successful if it wasn’t for management putting them in a position to fail. Certainly, blame is to be shared. That goes for many other players.
The right general manager and coaches need to be there. The play-calling needs to make sense. By that, I mean not having Luke Getsy try some fuckery on 3rd and 1 that results in a turnover after the team is on the verge of scoring on a long drive. 3rd and 1 should be common sense to run it up the middle and give the team a new set of downs. And we’ve seen that garbage from all the other “offensive” coordinators.
But hey, what the fuck do I know? It’s not like I watch the games or anything.
As I said before, keep Justin Fields and draft Caleb Williams as an insurance policy. So many are insisting that if the Bears take any quarterback in the draft, that they must trade Fields. Why? They have Fields under control for one more year along with a team option for a fifth year.
If Fields still sucks, then trade him at the deadline or pick up the fifth year and then trade him. It’s simple as that.
If you listened to 670 The Score and remembered some of their goofy commercials about 15 years ago, you will get the reference of that headline.
While Steve “Mongo” McMichael was on his way out of football as I was growing up, I have early memories of him. But a lasting image was getting sacks in Tecmo Super Bowl with him. Great game and I believe I would get about 20-30 sacks a season in that video game.
Devin Hester and Julius Peppers also got in. Well-deserved. Obviously, more connected with Hester as he started his career when I was in college.
Happy for all three, especially for Mongo.
