Let’s say Fields continues to play well down the stretch and the Bears pick up his option and ride with him next year.
I’d still love to see them draft a QB in the earlyish rounds. Not with a top 10 pick (unless someone falls into their lap), but as early as round 2 (if they get a 2nd in a trade).
Who are your guys’ favorite QB prospects in the 2nd and beyond?
I want the Bears to draft a middle round QB no matter what. Even if we take Caleb we should draft another QB prospect if the value makes sense. You can’t have too many lottery tickets at QB.
Maybe Bagent is the answer at QB2. Fields isn’t the answer at QB1, but if we go with your proposal, we still need to grab another QB who could maybe become the next Russ, Kirk or Brady.
If we take Caleb and move on from Fields we should still grab a QB for the exact same reason. If Caleb gets hurt or busts we should have another roll of the dice on the roster.
Next year, we should draft another QB unless we have a absolute stud at QB with zero questions. And if Caleb is that stud, we still draft a QB every 3 years just in case.
QB is more important than every other position by a factor of 10.
I agree. Especially because of how difficult the position is to project to the NFL.
