Tampa is beating GB next week.

And Minshew at 677k/year for 2 years is really enticing to me.

I hope so!

Have never really had much of a reason to cheer for Brady but I'm counting on him this week to end the Packers season.
Pretty cool Year 1 of him in the NFC he makes the title game and we finally get a Rodgers V Brady playoff game.

I'll take Minshew, Darnold, Bob Avelinis ghost - it doesn't matter.

Bears don't need to win to keep turning a profit. If that arrogant presser last week from the brass didn't prove they are just in it for the $$$ and are making a ton of $$$ and victories and playoffs really are not the margin for success......

Watson is going to cost way too much.

I like going after Stafford. Had another really good year, and will be much cheaper, not even a 1st. Watson will cost 3 of those.

And, you have to pay him. And Stafford for that matter. The loss of cap space and picks will hamstring the team for a very long time. If you trade picks, you trade them to move up in the draft for a QB. That way you can still build out the team while the QB salary is low.

Last time we did that, we got Mitch

So will bold Pace pay 3 first round picks for Watson?

Minshew? Cost a 3rd?

Carr? Cost a 2nd?

You're not getting Carr or even Minshew for a 2nd or 3rd. It'll be at least a 1st if not a 1st and 3rd. I'd rather go for Watson and mortgage the future. He's the only QB available that could lead you somewhere. If the D holds up, Watson will give you enough to make a good playoff run and utilize the options he has.

The Jags don't have any use for Minshew, I disagree he'd require a 1st. His value is going to go down as they implement TL and they have very little use for him IMO. We'll see though!

there is always someone who over pays for a young qb. Maybe a 2nd and 3rd if no first.

Minshew can’t cost more than a 2nd. He’s probably worth it because of the huge cap savings. DeFilippo will know if we can win with him. He def won’t be the QB you can just go out and win with.

If we do t trade for Watson I think I’d like to sign Winston. I want the higher ceiling player that can win you games not just manage. I also think we have weapons on offense and could score a lot. I’d like to keep all our picks for once and see what Pace could do. He got us 3 good starters last year.

QB's go for a premium. We just don't know.

The Jaguars are not likely to get much in exchange if they opt to trade Minshew, a sixth-round pick in 2019.

I know dice will lose his head with this but I'd be excited for this.

With Watson (and hopefully Nagy reaching his potential), our ability to develop playmkaers would really ramp up.

realistically, the bears need to look at Mack and Quinn. They have huge contracts and need to figure out why they didnt perform. Was it the defensive scheme, the training staff, or are they just not good anymore? Why did eddie jackson suck? It cant be just the defensive coordinator, there must be other reasons too. If you figure these out, you still have a chance to get 10-12 wins next year, no matter the quarterback. I am all for replacing management (Pace/phillips/mccaskey), but you cant ignore this regression on defensive side of the ball while you address the QB/WR/O-line.

Bears back to 4-3 scheme?

Quinn is 100% a 4-3 DE and Mack can play either position (4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB).

Wonder what they'd do with Roquan/Danny T.

The good news is that the Bears FO are making the determination of schemes

[Chicago-Bull-E]

Mike Singletary would be a truly terrible hire. Never thought much of him in terms of coaching. Would be more of a figurehead that answers to Nagy and the FO, not something I think is a good idea.

Bench Danny T and make Roquan Mike or Sam.

lol, would you prefer it be the fans?

The coaching staff + the FO make these decisions. Not sure what you want.
