When you throw in Grossman, Mitch, and Fields that's five 1st round picks used on QBs who failed to become solid NFL starters. We could go back even farther but the bottom line is that historically we've sucked at drafting top QB talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNown was 5th, Rex was 4th and Fields was 4th. The success rates for the QBs taken 4th or 5th in their class is notably lower than the top guy, often times because those picks are forced picks on need rather than based on overall talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when they took Cedric Benson they passed on the near consensus 1st overall pick in Rodgers to pick the 3rd overall RB in the class. lol I know Grossman was picked just 2 years earlier but he couldn't stand out from a crowd of misfit castaway QBs and was throwing like 55% completion with a 3/4 TD/INT ratio. Lovie had him for 2004 and should have been pretty clear to see he wasn't "the guy" unless they thought they were going to run and defend their way to the Super Bowl like the Dilfer led Ravens. IIRC they only even met with him once pre-draft too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we did so I see him as being acquired in lieu of drafting a 1st round QB and because Mirer was a 1st round pick. Major error on the Bears part but by then we should've gotten used to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack was a stud in Chicago, Trubisky was my first QB, and Fields was the first QB drafted when I became a Bears fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
