RockRaines Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) I am. Only thing that will change this franchise for the better (significantly) is getting a QB. I'm always okay paying the price for that guy. At least there is hope. Odds are he fails, but there is at least a chance. This franchise is not changing into a perennial winner until you find QB. You don't find QB (largely speaking) not investing in them early. Look at the franchise for the last 30 years...we've barely selected any QB's early and we have seen what we received. If we gave up that for a non QB, I'd have flipped...but we can take our time with Trubisky to learn, etc. Tools are really good. A good QB. s***ty ones do nothing but set you back.

daggins Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Given that this is the NFL, I think it's far more likely that the Bears are just run by incompetents than Pace playing 12-dimensional chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Bears traded up with the 49ers to select North Carolina QB Mitchell Trubisky with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. Stunning. Owners of the No. 3 pick, Chicago surrendered this year's Nos. 3, 67 and 111 selections and a 2018 third-rounder to move up one spot. It means they faced intense competition. Trubisky (6’2/222) sat behind 2016 Packers camp arm Marquise Williams his first two seasons at UNC before taking the starting reigns as a redshirt junior last season and leading the Tar Heels to an 8-5 mark with school records in passing yards (3,748) and touchdowns (30). A plus athlete with 4.67 speed, Trubisky added five rushing TDs and is a legitimate scrambling threat. On tape, Trubisky impresses as a tough competitor with a quick release, but he showed a tendency to get squeamish when pressured and made only 13 college starts. The small sample makes him a frightening prospect. Nevertheless, Trubisky looks the part of a potential mid-range NFL starter with Ryan Tannehill-level tools. He'll compete with Mike Glennon for the Bears' starting job. Per Rotoworld Glennon lame duck already Edited April 28, 2017 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I would have been good with Trubisky at 3, but giving up all those picks is insane to me. Pace is putting his career on the line by betting on Trubisky being a legit franchise QB. Hope he's right for all our sakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 This is so beyond dumb. If they knew this was their pick and they were willing to pay a ransom for him, why on earth sign Glennon? They got fooled so hard thinking the Browns would take him. He's not good, they have too many holes to fill to waste picks, and they're going to suck next year so getting a top 5 pick and a chance at a QB is still there.

Yes. If I was George McCaskey I would have said "Ryan, who do you like for the 3OA?" And if he named any QB in this draft I would have said "get lost" and named an interim GM and traded the damn pick for $0.90 on the dollar just to save the embarassment. People are already calling the Trubisky move one of the worst moves in NFL draft history. Edited April 28, 2017 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not very good. No...he isn't ready to start. He has all kinds of tools. We will never be a good franchise if we always ignore QB. I'm always fine investing in QB and I presume they liked him (afterall they picked him). I've been saying we need a QB and we need to start investing in it.

Soxbadger Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I keep hoping that somehow the Bears flip trubisky, but I know that won't happen. I don't know how you can take a pick that is basically no lose and f*** it up. At worst the Bears had a choice of adams or solomon, at best trubisky fell and they kept their picks. Pace is just not good at his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
