Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been wondering about what the Bears could potentially do to solve their issue at QB. While I don’t think Justin Fields is horrible, I don’t see him as a long-term starter in the NFL either. At least not in a traditional NFL offense, maybe more in the role of a Taysom Hill.
If we do get the first or second overall pick in the 2024 draft, I think we will most definitely select one of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. Let’s say we dont, Carolina wins 3 or 4 games, we do too and we end up with picks #4 and #10 or something similar. We should probably target Marvin Harrison Jr. with our first pick, but could the second be used on a QB like Michael Penix Jr.? He’s having a fantastic season, one of the frontrunners for the Heisman, he’s accurate, has an NFL arm and could probably be molded into a solid pocket passer in most NFL schemes. The injuries are a concern, so I wouldn’t draft him SUPER high, but what’s your opinion on it? Or would you prefer any of the other QBs besides Williams or Maye?
