would love to bring Fangio back
Yesterday price....You know the fukking rest: Chicago Bears š» 2023 Off-Season thread
- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
He's probably going to Philly but I wouldn't mind having him back. Defense was great his last year in Chicago.
Whatās the point of drafting a QB at #1 overall if youāre gonna sit him for a FEW years?
Funny thing is I don't think Flus would want Fangio here.

Donāt they both favor different defenses anywayFunny thing is I don't think Flus would want Fangio here.
To develop him. Patrick Mahomes didn't play much his rookie year, Rodgers and Love didn't either

Yeah I don't see how the bears pass on Caleb

To be fair Caleb is more ahead of is development coming out of college than mahomes,Rodgers and love he is starting week 1
I'm fine with that, if he knows the system
Yeah I don't see how the bears pass on Caleb
they arent, I look at it as a foregone conclusion - we all like Justin, but this is the opportunity and the quality of QB we have been waiting for for generations now as Bears fans
Im very curious the options that will be available at #9

yeah, last year.
Neither were the #1 overall pick. If youāre the #1 overall pick, youāre expected to be a day one starter. Also, Mahomes, Rodgers and Love got drafted to playoff teams, so they could afford to sit them (and Mahomes only sat one year). The Bears were a 3 bad finishes from being a playoff team but they ultimately finished 7-10. If youāre gonna replace Fields with a QB at #1, he BETTER be ready to light it up on day one.
Is it about draft position or making sure your QB of the future is successful?
We still have Fields under contract, let him play, see if we can make the playoffs with him. Get his trade value up. If not, bring Caleb in late in the season to get his era started

It would be different if Fields was like a 10 year veteran. Heās only two years older than Williams. He wants to be great himself and have a future in the league. Why would he want to be in a situation where no matter how well he plays, heās gonna get traded and groom his replacement? On Williams side, if heās the #1 pick, why would he want to go to a situation where heās not starting on day one, especially when heās the ābest prospect since ever?ā Michael Vick was the last QB who sat for a year. If you get drafted number one at QB, youāre expected to play right away. If heās not ready, why do you even draft a QB when youāre basically on the cusp of being a playoff team? Heās supposed to be better than Fields on day one, so if you draft him and trade Fields, they need to make the playoffs, or at LEAST be above .500.
Drafting Caleb and starting him day one is the right move for multiple reasons. The main reason drafted QBs sit for a period of time is to learn from a veteran that already has the best chance of leading the team to the best possible record. The Bears donāt have a vet, and I canāt see them signing a vet like they did with Mike Glennon when Justin was drafted. That was a huge waste of time and money. Having Justin and Caleb on the same team wouldnāt be good either. Theyāre going to trade Justin before the draft or on draft day. If Justin starts, and Caleb is on the bench, the minute Justin has a bad game or a bad throw, fans will be calling for Caleb. That would be a huge distraction and cause a divided locker room.
