For the Chicago Bears, their priority number one is the search for a quarterback. In Star Trek, the search for Spock was concluded in under two hours at the movie theater. The Bears have not found a franchise quarterback since the 1940’s when Sid Luckman was behind center. Many have that nauseous feeling in the pits of their stomach thinking about how badly the Bears brass will screw this up once again. Could the Bears do well with Nick Foles? If you gave Nick Foles some offensive line help and add a another play maker to the mix, the offense may become average/middle of the pack. With an average offense you need a really good defense. I can see the Bears fixing the defense faster than the offense. How do you get that defense back to how it was in 2018? A crazy idea is adding JJ Watt to the mix.

JJ Watt recently parted ways with the Houston Texans, and as they say, it was mutual. Watt has been the face of the franchise in Houston since he arrived in 2011 when he drafted number 11 overall. Since his arrival Watt has been a 3 time defensive player of the year making 5 Pro-bowls. Watt has 101 career sacks and a million batted down balls from one of the most productive Defensive ends in the game over the last ten seasons. Nicknamed JJ Swat for knocking down balls like the great Dikembe Mutumbo blocking shots in the NBA.

The nickname JJ Swat could be a reference for him going through doors which would be the offensive linemen. And then chasing down the suspect, which would be the quarterback. Last season, the 31 year old Watt finished with 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and an interception for a score.

Bears wasted money on Robert Quinn last year as he was MIA the entire season. Quinn was on the field as you could see him, but he was not there as opposing offenses made him the invisible man. Quinn would have to go. Trade him to an Irish pub for a pint of Guinness. Even though I highly doubt Robert Quinn is even Irish, but he has to go whatever way possible. Then the Bears should sign JJ Watt. Imagine JJ Watt on one side with Khalil Mack on the other side. SCARY!!! Then in the middle of that defensive line you have the push from Akiem Hicks. Plus the Bears would get another piece back on that defensive line, Eddie Goldman, who opted out for the season due to the virus. Then you have Roquan Smith, a young stud, at the linebacker position. The secondary features Jaylon Johnson, Eddie Jackson and Kyle Fuller. The best thing so far this off-season to happen to the Bears is defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano walking away. The Bears promoted Sean Desai and if he has at least one brain cell working, he would know the Bears did not have that pressure on the quarterback the last two seasons like they did in 2018. If you’re an opposing offensive line, who the hell do you double team with JJ Watt? Pressure would collapse the pocket from all directions with a talented secondary blanketing the receivers.

Instead of wasting your draft capital on someone else’s junk at quarterback. Instead of overpaying for a quarterback which has set us back already with Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles. By the way, it is important to note we haven’t gotten back what we have paid for these two guys. The Bears are in “win now” mode. Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace are at the end of their rope with two years left on their contracts. I don’t see them fixing the quarterback position unless they mortgage the defense and continue throwing away draft capital. If these two dumb-dumbs want to win now, they need that defense to rise up again like in 2018. My list of demands. The Bears should dump Robert Quinn and then sign JJ Watt. Then they fix the offensive line. Use the number one pick on the best tackle. David Montgomery is a nice back. Darnell Mooney is a nice receiver. Kole Kmet makes a nice tight end. The Bears should draft a quarterback at some point in the next draft. They can draft another playmaker. Add some decent receivers in the free agent market. I like A Mack Truck and a JJ Swat charging right at Aaron Rodgers. So much that it gives me goosebumps. JJ Watt us a Wisconsin native so he can deal in Chicago’s cold weather. Watt would add another leader and voice on the field. A great defense and a healthy Nick Foles in the playoffs with good protection is the recipe that makes the most sense to me.
