The Bears will eat the cap hit if they have too. Foles is toxic to Nagy and Pace's continued employment by the Chicago Bears... Just to clarify...if the Bears trade up and draft Trask at the end of the first, they could conceivably keep Foles as a second/third string guy. But Pace is not counting on Foles for ANYTHING.

CriminalMind Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I mean would you prefer Cousins and the money/cap he is making? Food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can't blame a GM for holding out hope for Russell Wilson, though. I guess... Minshew and Darnold both have higher potential ceilings than Dalton, IMO. To be fair though, they both probably have lower floors too. The one thing about Minshew is he is still on his rookie deal and he was being paid $700,000 to be a starter for the Jaguars in 2020. You probably could have gotten him with a deal that guaranteed him $3M.d I don't blame them for holding out hope for Russell. The only bad part about that is it got Bears fans' hopes up, only to come crashing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Foles and Dalton are kind of interchangable, so I'm guessing this had something to do with Foles not being wanted anymore, or some loon GM actually wanting him and Pace for some reason not wanting to be bare at QB in March. Can't really see any other logic to it. Foles may have been salty about getting benched and missing his incentives, so perhaps best for all sides. Or maybe he's retiring? He's probably got 60mUSD in the bank so maybe that's it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Romen Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hoping for Wilson and we end up with Dalton 7 years too late. It's hard to justify being a Bears fan anymore... 100 years and they can't get a single QB choice right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought That's just an impossible situation. It's why, even though I'm predicting a good 12-4 season for them in 2021, I really think they are a good five years away from really being in position to actually win it all. They are going to need to get rid of Spielman, Zimmer, Cousins, and all the aging vets and start over with a new regime. As much as I like Zim as a coach, I've reached the point where I've lost faith in his philosophy to get them to the promised land. Sad to say.

You would think that any team would have to get it right at least once in 100 years even if they were trying to make bad decisions. The poor Bears and their luck with QB's has been incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 How much longer do I need to tell you guys that Pace sucks before it is accepted that I have always been right. This move is pathetic. Sign Andy Dalton because you fed upgrading for Foles, because you fed up drafting Mitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure...there are folks that pretend they know, and apparently Ryan Pace is firmly among them. Which makes it all the more heinous because he crashed and burned on Trubisky. 6 minutes ago, Leader said: Swimming pools in a stadium overflowing with beer.

Madmike90 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm as disappointed as the next guy that we aren't getting Wilson but can we please stop this narrative that Dalton & Foles are interchangeable...Dalton is a far superior QB than Foles ever has been...it's fair to say Dalton is the best QB we will have had since Cutler...he will come in and manage the game if the OL plays the way it did later last year...we keep Monty fit...and bring in a few more weapons...that is a lot of ifs especially considering if Dalton takes us to another 8-8 type season then Pace & Nagy are gone... With this move the only way I see them saving their jobs is Trey Lance...with a trade up he is the QB who probably goes 4th off the board and he is probably the one who would create the most excitement in terms of long term upside...they are going to need to be bold and super aggressive to make it happen...there is no other choice now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded a 4th and guaranteed 24 million dollars to a QB that is unplayable bad. That is spectacular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
