How many times do the Chicago Bears have to go down this road in search for a quarterback? Reports had the Bears in discussions with the Detroit Lions for a trade for Matthew Stafford. Stafford was dealt to the LA Rams for Jared Goff and draft picks. Some reports had the Bears and the Broncos had better offers than the Rams. Maybe the Lions wanted a quarterback in the deal. Jared Goff is better than anything the Bears have to offer. Goff is probably a better choice than a Drew Lock for the Broncos as well. Why would the Lions even think about trading Matthew Stafford to the Bears? A division rival to see their X quarterback twice a year for multiple years. Then I’m still pulling my hair out as General Manager Ryan Pace and Head Coach Matt Nagy are still Charles in Charge and are once again part of this quarterback search. History shows that it’s not on their side.

Here we ago again with the Bears throwing draft capital away once again like it’s monopoly money. GM Ryan Pace should go straight to jail once again, as an educated guess the team offered their number one draft pick for this season for Matthew Stafford. Probably offered future number one draft picks as well to pry Stafford from the Lions. The Bears finally have a number one pick as the Khalil Mack Trade finally concludes. Then we all remember the wasted draft pick just to move up one spot to get Mitch Trubisky in the 2017 draft as the 49ers fleeced Ryan Pace. Plus, then use the number one pick on Trubisky on a hunch. They passed up the guaranteed quarterback, Deshaun Watson. Why didn’t they have a hunch on Patrick Mahomes? Would Matthew Stafford have been worth giving away two number one picks like the Rams did? The Bears need more on their roster then a Matthew Stafford. This team needs draft picks. The Bears need to start hitting home runs on their top picks instead of the busts like Leonard Floyd, Adam Shaheen and Kevin White. High picks that did not work for the Bears but worked for other teams.

With head coach Matt Nagy having two years left on his contract. GM Ryan Pace has a year left on his contract but some reports state the Bears quietly extended their GM another year so he is even with the head coach. Now that the Bears are bringing these two clowns back, they are going to try once again and go for it with the roster they have in place. The Bears will make some moves. The idea that this team could win now even with some moves is hard to believe because they need so much. They have a lot of money invested in that defense. They have a lot of money invested in a back quarterback, Nick Foles. They still have not given their only play maker they have, Allen Robinson, an extension. Robinson may want out. The offensive line needs a major overhaul. How does a 32 year old quarterback help a team like this? Stafford is a pretty good quarterback but not the top tier type who could make everyone around him better like Aaron Rodgers who can have the beer guy lined up on the outside a threat.

If the Bears want to get an established quarterback, it should be the guy they should have had. Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston and for some odd reason, he has the Bears as one of the teams on his wish list. Watson is only 25 years old and would be a better road to take than that aging quarterback like Stafford. Watson is a guy they could build around even if it cost them some of those superstars on their defense. Trading for Watson would be the quickest way for the Bears to get back to the Superbowl. Bears have some nice young pieces in place like tight end Cole Kmet, wide receiver Darnell Mooney, and running back David Montgomery. On defense, Jaylon Johnson and Roquan Smith. I would trade Khalil Mack to get picks and clear salary cap space.

The Bears could also use Nick Foles as the bridge type quarterback. Then find a quarterback in the draft. Bears should draft a quarterback somewhere in the draft no matter what. Foles would need to restructure his contract so maybe you could add some more pieces like offensive lineman to keep him standing. I don’t see this happening because the Bears brass are drinking the Kool Aid. The spiked Kool Aid because they will get rid of Nick Foles and replace him with another veteran and put him in the same situation. Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton will not work. If this team wants to give it the one last effort to win, now they need to keep all their draft picks. They need to draft well. They should gut some of their roster to clear some salary space. Then find cheaper replacements in free agency on smaller deals in years and salary. I would give Robinson a long term deal and then trade him. Guys like Akiem Hicks, Eddie Jackson and Kyle Fuller may land you some nice draft capital and free up space.

Would Ryan Pace swallow his pride and come up with a trade package to Houston and land Deshaun Watson? I don’t like these clowns back running the show with Pace and Nagy because they are just trying to save their own jobs and get another contract in two years. They are thinking short term instead of long term for the Chicago Bears. Making the playoffs this season probably cost the Bears a chance at a nice young quarterback in the first round. This off season already making a run for Matthew Stafford tells me this team will mortgage the future off once again. They will find a temporary band aid to patch up the hole for the time being. These moves will not get this team past the first round of the playoffs and beyond. The hole of the ship is too big and we need another boat. In two years we will be talking about the same problems we have now. The defense will be ready for the old folks home. While the clown car will be awaiting another new driver.
