If Alex Smith is healthy and available next year he would be the Bears best chance of finding a QB who has proven he can run this offense effectively.

However the QB is not going to matter if they don't get the O-line fixed.
Last I heard Smith was working on walking without a cane or walker.  I think that puts him out of the picture for next year.

I'm a ND fan too, so I've seen a lot of heistand.  My impression is that he is great at developing a players fundamentals and one on one blocking skills.  But he is bad at coordinating an oline in terms of scheme and assignments.  He's a much better fit at the college level then pro imo.

He has had 17 surgeries on the leg.  He says he is coming back and the Redskins have held onto him knowing he won't play at all this year. 

So there is a chance.  He has an out in in 2021.  So maybe they would take a trade in the offseason.

A rookie sets us back and we miss the window because it is pretty obvious Nagy isn't going to change the system to fit the QB.  The QB has to fit the system.

Ding, ding, ding. Exactly why those 2 2nds should go to drafting OLine. Be like The Cowgirls and invest in a 4th rounder. Oops.

Kruetz is a great interview and can be brutally honest.  But I don't think he has said anything negative about Coach Harry...and it's understandable.  He has immense respect for him.

I see there is a story floating around that Fox wanted Watson instead of Trubisky..

Too funny.  And he would have ruined Watson.

hindsight is 20-20 of course

Mahomes could be Wentz 2.0 after the injury

Watson or Jackson could end up like RG3

TruBEARsky could end up being a stud if the O-line starts to "gel"

How many years have we said that?

Well there is little doubt that our O line sucks a$s!! What's disappointing is our head coach is supposed to be an offensive guru, yet our O is a complete clusterfukk..

Pagano is obviously not putting Mack in a position to succeed..

First thing I do is fire Pagano and Hiestand. I give Nagy an ultimatum, either hire a true O coordinator to straighten this mess out or pack your bags..

I see there is a story floating around that Fox wanted Watson instead of Trubisky..

There is a long expose by Tribune writer Rich Campbell on the Bears process to get to Trubisky.

After listening to SCORE guys discuss it I probably won't read it because sounds like it will just be too depressing.

But, yes, Fox favored Watson.

Hub Arkush said he spoke to personell people on 30 teams before that draft on their evaluations of the QB's
20 favored Watson   6 Favored Trubisky and 2 Mahommes.

I've been unemployed lately so have heard many many analysts players coaches former GM's opinions.

The best I can figure is Nagy is trying to get Tru to run his offense and Tru's skills aren't suited.
In the meantime other teams like Baltimore and Houston are adapting their offenses to the QB's strengths.  Pretty much what we already knew.
