Pace is probably going to sign Cam Newton and think he's done a good thing......

We don't have the assets to trade for Watson ourselves. Any deal that netted us Watson would likely be a 3-team deal.

Houston: Wentz, Chicago 1st round pick 2021, Chicago 1st round pick 2022
Chicago: Watson
Philly: Chicago 3rd round pick 2021, Chicago 4th round pick 2022.


This is just a rough sketch of what something like that might look like. The point being that Houston has no use for Nick Foles.
If they're trading Watson they need a replacement with potential/pedigree coming back.

That idea is crazy. Can I veto it?

You won't have to. It isn't happening.

I think the most likely scenario is that we deal with whoever doesn't get Watson.
i.e. - If Dolphins trade Tua in deal for Watson, we're dealing with Jets for Darnold.
I don't believe for one second Jets are keeping Darnold when they can get Fields at #2.
I also feel like Jets could use Foles as a bridge to Fields, so there is potential to include Foles in the deal.
Then we could draft a development QB like Mond, Book, etc in later rounds as a backup/#3.

What's sad is nowhere does this give the Bears the QB they sorely need. Expect more of the same mediocrity for years to come.

I agree with that. Darnold is a bust. Of course we need another bust dont we?

I would keep weighing my options at QB, but I expend my energy on the rest of the team. Unless they plan on prying Aaron Rodgers away from Green Bay, I don't see QB making or breaking this team. I head into next season with Mitch and Foles. Bolster the run game/ fix the line. We need to do something about pass rush, the lack of. Work on those two areas for next season. No way they transform this whole team in one season. Of course our other big problem is Nagy...

I just dont see Darnold being able to run what Nagy wants.  And Mitch and Nagy are like oil and water, one of the two wont be back next year.  As far as 3rd string backup QB, are you kidding me, we already have the best in Tyler Bray!!!!

No way Mitch is back. Between Mitch mentioning culture change needed and Pace and Nagy blaming everything on QB play, that ship has sailed.
Pace and Nagy have 1 year to show progress. Another year of blaming Mitch isn't it.

Could Grappolo be available?  How about a trade up to top 10 and draft a QB?  May be cheaper than a Watson trade.

Is Garappolo available? Very likely and Pace loves him. But I am concerned about is that New England might just outbid us wanting Garappolo back.  Would I do a trade up to 10? Yes provided who I valued was there. And

it could be cheaper than Watson both ways, salary and cap. There are going to be teams at #10 or there abouts who want a QB too and not willing to deal. Have you thought about that possibility? Or did you just throw

out the number as a talking point?

So what are the odds of a first round QB succeeding 1 in 4?

I can understand not wanting to pay the price it would take to get Deshaun Watson here.

I cannot understand anyone thinking he's not a great NFL QB. The numbers are there.

I would be more concerned about the price. The player? I'd say yes.. The price? Not just yet.. Is he good enough to make the rest of the team better?
