This is wrong my friend. It will matter no matter what. MANY aren't upset about them picking (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. MANY are upset about them getting fleeced by the 49ers to draft a player who would have been there if they were picking 5th.

If Glennon is good (I believe that he will be) people will be upset that the Bears didn't use those picks on other positions.
If (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky sucks people will be mad at the pick and the trade
If (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is good people will still be upset because we traded picks when we didn't have to

Disagree with that part. If he's good nobody will care about the lost picks.

This is wrong my friend. If (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is good the rest of the draft class can be out of the league in 3 years and it doesn't matter. Still the best draft class in 20 years. You can't put a tangible price on having a good QB.

The problem is (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is gonna suck.

Yup FF and Beardown are right, my friend.

We saw it with Cutler. People were continually mad about the cost of the trade that brought him here If he had had been as good as his potential no one would have cared a bit about the trade cost.

The Cutler trade was different. By all accounts a trade for (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky wasn't necessary.

FF was right about one thing, (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is going to suck.

_________________

Maybe it was not necessary. But that is a detail that will not matter if he is really good.

In fact that could become a point of praise for Pace. "Maybe it wasn't necessary but I am damn sure he did whatever was needed in order to get him."

Now if he is not good it will become an even bigger point of contention for fans than the Cutler trade.

Dumb thought. Bears fans wouldn't care if the trade made sense. This was a very deep draft and picks matter. Especially when you are rebuilding.

Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky, huh? Couldn't take a corner or a safety?

They broke the door down before I could take requests.

don't forget the fact that besides the QB project taken at #2 overall, 3 of the other 4 picks are small school projects... the 4th player coming from a real program yet that player is coming off serious injury.

There are 2 different ideas when having a high draft pick.

1. Impact player-Should be an elite player or a game changer
2. Acquire more picks to fill more holes


Bears did not do either of these. They have 0 talent on Offense, and I mean that as an impact player. Long is above avg, and that RB we have not seen enough of.

Loggains sucks. Why draft any player specifically for a guy who'll be fired at the week 9 bye?

I am not going to sing the praises of a little Dowell Loggains, but I will say that he hasn't had a whole hellava lot to work with now has he?

Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he can do with Brees, Gronk, Sproles, and Howard.

Yeah I dont think anyone really knows what kind of coach he is.

I don't buy the storyline that (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky wont see any snaps in 2017. They have no idea what will happen. Just trying to set low expectations. But I would say it is a way better bet that he will see snaps this season.

I'm looking forward to both Glennon and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky to show signs of potential and watching the Bears trade away the wrong one for pennies on the dollar.

Bill Polian just said on Waddle and Silvy that he gives the Bears an A+++++ for making the move to get (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky.

WTF does Bill Polian know?

Did he expand on that? Does he say that because he is convinced (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky will be a great QB or did he say that because Pace did whatever he needed to make sure he got the guy he wanted?

He's a Hall of Fame GM but I have been less than impressed with him when he's been on with W&S. He sounds much different than I expected and has some...inneresting opinions that I get the feeling often leave W&S scratching their heads.

I think it was about 75% the latter and 25% the former.

W&S also had a tape of Peter King interview this afternoon. He said he was in the 49ers war room and no way Pace got clowned. 49ers also had zero idea who the Bears would take after the trade was agreed to.

That's not evidence of not​ being clowned though. Everyone knew the SF didn't want a QB.

King's point was there was at least a reasonable idea that Cleveland or even Reid in KC were going to sweep in for Trubinsky.

Polian also added in about the draft point value system. The last time someone moved from 3 to 2 for a QB was SD for Leaf. That trade took 1630 value points in the package. The Bears only used one third of that.
