Draft a 1st Rd QB or trade for Darnold?

[chitown2387]

Serious question, with the Bears probably picking somewhere around the 15th pick, are you risking taking a QB from a smaller school/limited experience vs good teams, or are you trying to trade for Darnold?

I'm honestly torn. Part of me doesn't want to take a player with limited experience after the whiff on Trubisky, but part of me thinks Darnold is damaged goods.

Thoughts?

Darnold sucks

Unless a miracle happens and the Bears pick in the top ten then the answer is probably none of the above. The Bears aren't in a position to lose another draft pick trying to acquire a quarterback. Trubisky cost four picks, Foles cost a pick...I'm tired of it.

why do you want a QB if we don't have protection for a QB?

If you are going to go for damaged goods you might as well resign Trubisky. Mitch, for all of his faults, has played better than Darnold. Granted the Bears are a better team than the Jets but they aren't that much better.

I am drafting a tackle. Rashawn Slater if the bears continue this skid or the kid from Notre Dame, if they finish around 15-20

He had protection last night. Didn't matter

I can't disagree, but if this WERE the case, you may as well trade some players away. If you aren't going to try and draft a QB this next season, you are basically tanking for the next draft.

Easier to find lineman than a QB.

Draft a QB that you'll have on a rookie deal for 4-5 years.

A lineman? Sure. A franchise left tackle? There are about as many of those in the NFL as there are franchise quarterbacks.

Packers Defense was lazy AF.

This is a great point

If those are my choices, im drafting one. But id be fine with Darnold under a new regime though. He can suck enough to not keep you in football hell.

I agree with you but you can have a quality OL without a franchise LT.

It doesn't matter, any guy drafted that high unless he is a complete headcase will be an immediate upgrade to anything we have on the edges.

Do you think Nagy & Pace (if they are still here, which I'm hoping not) will roll with Mitch again & do you think Mitch wants to play for them after this year has gone?

And if a new head coach & GM are in, I would think they'd want to bring in "their" QB

Foles is your starter for 2021, there's no away around that boat anchor of a contract. So no to Mitch, I've seen the movie and know how it ends.

Maybe. Andrew Thomas went fourth overall and has been quite bad his rookie year.

Darnold? really? cmon guys. I'd rather just draft a QB and have him on that rookie contract. You're going to have to pay Darnold soon. It's not worth it to me.
