A third and a second seems like a pretty steep overpay for Wentz.  The 2nd will be a first if he doesn't get hurt next year.  I'm glad pace didn't pony up a matching package for Wentz.

So you're suggesting we change our team colors...

Never change colors. I do like the orange unis.

Im not sure about Marriota.  Carr would probably be good, but not sure he is what we are missing.  I have a feeling we are going to go into next season with Foles and a second or third round QB, and suuck again, and Pace and Nagy will get fired.

Mariota would be bad and I really dont think Carr is the gadget QB that Nagy covets.

The other option I've suggested is to trade down our #20 and pickup a good OT late in round 1 or early round 2.  Then with what we get with that trade down - trade up the round 2 pick to earlier in the round and draft Trask.  He's not very mobile and he looked horrible against the Sooners in that bowl game but he was without his entire starting WR group and his talented TE.

Everybody poo poos potential Bear QB suggestions but few offer any options.  Yeah I could sit on my ass here and just say this guy or that guy is no good but when you are a beggar drafting 20 with limited cap you can't be a chooser.

Got any ideas?  Let's hear them.

Glad they didn’t overpay for Wentz.  I don’t want them to burn he next four years of our future so they can win nine games next year.   I’d just as soon keep our draft picks and get the best offensive player available, if it was an offensive lineman, so much the better.  Build the damn trenches.  Foles can play if he’s has some time back there.  Coach him up...get him in better shape.  Get some FA for competition that’s not going to cost an arm and a leg, someone you don’t have to give up draft capital for.

Taking on Wentz with his contract would have required roster changes even with some possible restructuring.

I suspect they would have said good bye to Fuller or Robinson.

Thats right beggars cant be choosers. And it doesnt appear we have the ability to acquire the QB to fit Nagy's offense. And other than Trask I dont see anything out there. And its not WHO is still out there, its who can

be made to fit what we need. I just dont see it, period.

I think we make too much of "Nagy"s offense.  A QB has to be able to drop back or take the snap via the shotgun, read a defense, and hit the standard pass patterns:  outs, ins, slants, wheel routes, bombs, etc   It would also be nice to be able to rollout and run boot legs.  Foles and just about any other able bodied NFL QB should be capable of running Nagy's offense.  If he can't then Nagy has to modify it to fit the QBs strengths.

And BTW, do you see Tom Brady running around all day like Russell Wilson?  Mobility and pocket presence doesn't mean you have to have the speed of Kyler Murray, but it certainly helps.  Get a solid offensive line and you can execute just about anything.

Wow!  SCORE said the Eagles are eating Wentz’s entire 2021 salary cap hit if $34m.

How bad did they want to get rid of him.

I think the best choices are Watson, Wilson, or Carr.  If we can't get one of those 3 via a trade, I feel Trubisky is better than all of the other retreads being kicked around - including Foles.

Don't be surprised when...

The guy has never been what he was before he blew the knee. Bears totally screwed up with the one shot in the draft and now towel boy is at the thrift store picking over whatever leavings are the least broken and don’t smell to bad.

I'd sign Fitzpatrick and keep Foles.  Let them fight it out in camp.  Id draft a OT and WR in the first 2.  Id take the best athlete/arm QB in the third and keep him as qb 3 with no intent to play him this year.   But im not trying to keep a gm job, so i doubt this will happen.
