I get Dalton is poised to throw for 4500, 40 Tds and lead the Bears deep into the playoffs. However, with the Colts in dire need of a QB1, isnt now the time to strike while Daltons value is as high as it is. Hes killing it in camp. Foles bullying pace to stay on the roster secures the backup role, so Its not like the Bears would be creating a hole.

Fields looked good yesterday and is ready to go right.

I would do it. 4,500 and 40 TDs is a conservative estimate for the red rocket. Getting those three 1sts back in return for a player of his caliber would be nice.

Well the Bears Drafted a first RD QB for a reason and third 3rd stringer refuses to go. Might as well get something for the odd man out.

4,500 yards and 40 TDs?????? Are you SERIOUS??????

I think you're gravely underselling him. More like 45,000 yards and 400 TDs. You're as bad at player evaluation as Pace.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a foot injury last Thursday that required surgery, which was completed on Monday. On Tuesday, head coach Frank Reich told reporters that the surgery was successful, and revealed no other complications in his foot, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. The team announced that his recovery timetable will be between five to 12 weeks. The goal of the procedure, according to Erickson, was to remove a piece of bone that had broken loose in Wentz's foot.

Everything that has been said by the coaches and written point to Fields not being the starter week 1

Why are you posting a tweet with Lance in it?

Should trade either foles or dalton. I wouldn’t trade both. Maybe wait until a team gets desperate enough later in season idk but definitely one of the qbs should be traded

There is no way they trade Dalton and keep the guy they need to change the O for.

In all seriousness, if Fields grabs the starting job within the first few weeks or so, that leaves what, 4-6 before the deadline? That would open the door to trading Dalton to a team that would need a competent guy to fill in if the need arises and actually get a decent return. Unlike Foles, another team wouldn't need to commit to him beyond this year.

LOL at the premature fans!!!

What the Bears should and will do is wait. A child is impatient "one team needs a QB trade him".

I have a better idea, wait till two or more teams need a QB, then listen to offers in a bidding war. If something amazing is offered, consider it.

Neither Dalton or Foles are the future, so you would gladly trade either if anyone comes knocking after an injury or two.

Chicago is where QBs go to die.
