I live in Richmond, VA but spent the first 30 years of my life in Chicago. Unfortunately, I am doomed to be a Bears fan the rest of my life.

I’m in. I’m assuming the above is without trades.

I'm in

If we would have traded for Darnold it would have been Rick Mirer 2.0.

This was the point I was trying to make. I'm not a Tru apologist. I just think that Bears fans will cling to the idea of another QB...and QB for that matter...then Mitch, or any QB that we may have at the moment. It has been that way for years. Darnold has SHOWN nothing thus far. He is nothing to get excited about or worth further draft capital on.

So you know that means we will draft Trask right?

Cool for MT but doesn't history dictate differently? Manziel Bortles Manuel Tebow Freeman Quinn Russell Leinhart Young Lossman Ramsey Harrington.... The list goes on and on. Bad QB play is bad QB play. Not many (there are some limited exceptions) turn out to be good after being really bad. I for one am glad we had nothing to do with Darnold. I may be wrong but I believe history is on my side with this.

What specifically has Darnold done to say that he is better? If he is constantly turning the ball over then what does his on the field behavior matter? As far as his 5th year option, did other teams get the opportunity to pick that up? No, the Bears declined that so that seams to be an invalid argument.

What's so different from Tru besides experience?

Why? I hear this take a lot and don't quite get it. What has he shown that makes you think that he will do better in a different situation? What makes him better than any of the other 1st round draft bust at QB? Not being argumentative, I'm just curious as to what others see that I'm not seeing.

We are Bears fans so yes it is.

I don't post often but I read constantly. Welcome back!

I wonder if we are looking at a total rebuild brewing.

Congrats Bro!!! That's awesome!
