Reasonable & comprehensive article on all QB options available. SI

We should have signed Winston this past offseason instead of trading picks for Foles.

If he's available for dirt cheap again, he seems like easily the best choice among a list of underwhelming options.

Of course, Winston could go up in flames, but at least he has actual arm talent.

He got lasik surgery. He came into the TB game and promptly fired a Td. He can probably take advantage of Mooney's speed on deep routes. And he has leadership qualities

 

[mecha]

not suggesting getting him, but what happened to Kizer? I still find it weird the Browns punted on him after 1 season, though it wound up being the right move, they vastly improved with Mayfield.

 

[Calabis]

Out of that list...give me Winston....well possible ones that come cheap that is

 

[Phibbulous]

I would take Winston over Trubisky. Slightly less awful is still better than the wtf awful that Trubisky offers.

Leadership qualities? C'mon man. He has a ton of arm talent, and the lasik is an interesting development, but he has shown zero leadership qualities at the NFL level, other than leading in interceptions thrown and maybe pick sixes.

Kizer needed about 3 years of development before playing. Problem is he started the majority of the games on of the worst teams of all time combined with one of the worst head coaches of all time. Kid never had a chance

Also, he had some maturity issues. Was not well liked or respected by his teammates at ND as well.

Bear fans are so fooked. There isn’t a decent option available. And Pace and the his clownshow coaching staff somehow survived.
2021 gonna be an awful train wreck.
I’ve heard the 2022 QB class sux. Is there absolutely nothing in 22?

The 2022 draft class is ok it depends on if rattler and Sam Howell declare phil jurkovec and JT Daniels will move up around this time next year too

I mean, we may think we had it bad with Trubisky, which probably wouldn't have been so bad if he too was drafted in the 2nd round and didn't require shuffling like 4 picks for a trade up 1 spot, but that's pretty bad to go from starter, to gone, to practice squad in 3 years.

Slovis in 2022 per these guys.

Well how many Tds did he throw and how many yards? Plus back then he couldn't half see. When one is near sighted things get blurring. Other Qb's have thrown way more ints. than Winston.

I've never seen him in a situation where his teammates didn't rally around him. That's called leadership. When he came in to the TB game and fired the Td and came back to bench ALL the players were congratulating him and gravitating to him. That's called leadership and charisma.

Heck....when jay was here players never came around him. Anytime I saw jay, he was literally standing alone on the sidelines.

taylor isnt a bad option.

Thats not leadership. Jameis is the furthest thing from a leader to this point in his career.

 

[Enasic]

That FA list is terrible. The way I see it, the Bears have to make a trade for a vet. The last thing you do is bring a rookie in to "learn" under the visor. Watson, Carr, or Ryan. That would be my list of priorities in order.

Foles/Mitch are backups. It would be crazy to go into next season with a backup QB as your starter. AGAIN....

Ok....I say leadership starts with players liking and rallying around a Qb. Next is believing in the Qb.
I saw that "belief factor" and player excitement in the TB playoff game when on one play he threw a Td. Heck.....the game might've ended differently had he stayed in. They should've kept him in.

But how do u define Qb leadership? What are your examples?

 

[run and shoot]

taylor isnt a bad option.

You're right this guy gets overlooked. He's a smart, steady-eddy type Qb. He doesn't hurt ya with a lotta stupid mistakes.
He's had some bad breaks in his career. Most recently getting lung punctured by an incompetent team doc, hence losing his starting job.

Define slightly less awful.

 

[Leomaz]

I prefer my quarterback to have never been beaten out of the starting job by another quarterback

is that too much to ask.

Didn't he also get arrested for shoplifting ? I think it was seafood , crab legs perhaps ?

they ran a gimmick play that the Tampa did not defend.
He threw 30 ints and 7 pick sixes in one season of football.
I think after the 20th INT and 4th pick,six...I think his leadership qualities were the least of what the Buccaneers needed
