Just a reminder to the people saying to get MHJ and figure out the qb situation later just how little an all time great, if not the greatest wide receiver ever, has on winning if you don’t have a decent quarterback. As great as MHJ might be the return he offers isn’t even a fraction to as much as if Maye or Caleb end up being great or even just good. The potential return on investment is just too much to pass up with a qb draft this highly touted.
If the Bears have a top 2 pick they aren’t even going to consider MHJ, the only chance is if the Panthers drop to 3 or later where you consider him and then a qb later with our pick.
If we get MHJ and we suck then we can suck until we draft ARCH “Nemesis” MANNING.
Well, according to most Bears fans, he must suck… because how many wins did he get?
If MHJ ends up being megaton or Julio Jones level of productive we would look like absolute clowns for passing on him
You are talking about his second year in the NFL and he had over 1300 yards and lead the league in TDs
But stafford won a superbowl with a competent team in LA. Your logic is flawed, Stafford wasn’t the problem in Detroit.

My bigger issue is who will get him and Moore the ball enough to keep both happy? People be acting like Fields is going to transform into some distributor of the ball all of the sudden when he can hardly consistently target Moore at this point.
Matt stafford went 5-11 in DET in 2020 and then won the Super Bowl with the Rams the very next season. There is no silver bullet you have to improve the entire team/as many positions as possible within a relatively short window of each other.
Yeah it’s not like the Lions also took a QB #1 and then proceeded to never even win a playoff game.
They also lost a ton of games misusing Matt Stafford who proceeded to win a Super Bowl the minute he left.
The best QB in the league is currently struggling with, wait for it, a bad OC and a WR room that can’t catch the ball.
We need a reminder that it’s week 12 and all we care about is the draft
The Eagles and Niners have bucked the trend of building around a QB and have instead built FOR a QB. That’s the essence of this thread. Do we go with the “genie with 1000 helpers” model and just keep cycling through new QBs until we find one? Or do we “build the best race car then find a driver” model and take the highest floor/highest ceiling talent available?
I know there are some here that are adamant that Fields is terrible and has no upside. If you believe that, you’re probably not amenable to the SF/Philly model. Personally, I think Fields is a good, talented QB who CAN be great if he gets a tick more decisive with the football. I’d prefer the SF/Philly model so if he does work through his flaw, we have a team around him with overwhelming talent, and if he’s so limited by his flaw we need to start over, we can at least have an optimal situation for the next guy.
Make it stop
A reminder that the Raiders skipped on Calvin “Megatron” Johnson, and draft JaMarcus Russell. An extremely high potential QB that was touted as having the best arm ever.
