Da Bears found their future QB star!!!! Andy Dalton

[Tom Paris]

Nope

I lean Dalton...but I want to see what Pace does in the draft. I will be shocked if there isn't a highly drafted rookie in the QB room with Dalton to start the year. Pace will try everything he can to get into the top 10 to get one of the group of 5 QBs.

 

[Tom Paris]

I'd take a shot on Mac Jones at #20.

If the Bears don't take a QB or Tackle in the 1st round, I might have to find a new team.

I doubt Jones is there. If Nagy likes him, Pace is going to have to move up.

 

[Tom Paris]

I've been through a lot of QBs as a Bears fan. Bobby Douglass was probably my favorite 😁

Rusty Lisch...he was so terrible Ditka replaced him with Payton.

Dalton took over a pretty loaded Cowboys team once Dak went down and their offense went into the tank. Dalton will have far fewer options in Chicago than he did in Dallas.

Not to mention, Mitch had a higher QB rating last year on a terrible Bears O (93) than Dalton did on a team loaded with good WRs (87). This is not an upgrade at QB at all. Dalton is a mediocre game manager best served as a backup.

Trubinsky traded to the Bills. Details not released yet. I would think they are now going to go for a quarterback first in the draft. But who knows until we know the details.

Bears tears. Bye Mitch. Need a new avitar now.

That's the thing, Pace never learns a lesson. He is bidding against himself again. He panicked once Seattle told him to pound sand. There is no way, Andy effing Dalton was about to sign with another team. You could have easily waited it out, see if something happens with Mariota, Darnold, or Garrappolo, all of which I would not be excited about, but would gladly take if the other choice is Andy Dalton.

Now we'll get to watch Pace give up future assets to try and save his ass in the draft. Then he will get fired anyway and the Bears will get the leftovers for GM candidates because their situation will be a dumpster fire, per usual.

So typical Bears

Did he panic? Yes. But the rumor mill was SF was very interested also.

Can't be traded when he was a free agent.

Worded it wrong. Released and picked up by the Bills.

The o line would make any qb a bit shaky. Mitch isnt a winner, neither is Dalton. Quit destroying the team by chasing one mistake with another.

Kyle Trask (Florida) is intriguing to me. Most have him projected 2nd to 3rd round. He'd most likely be available at #20. But, I wouldn't give up too quickly on Mac Jones. He just might slip and be available at #20. I just don't want to see the Bears auction off the farm to move up and get a QB other than Fields, Wilson, or Lawrence in this draft.

Last 4 games he went 13 TDs to 4 Ints. Dallas' line was worse than the Bears. Having said that, Dalton is nothing but mediocre, better than Mitch in my opinion, and a placeholder for whoever Pace drafts.

Don't know the likelihood, but appears they are wooing Kenny Golladay. Signing him and pairing with Robinson and Mooney would make me very pleased. Chicago area kid, so maybe there is hope

I think I would prefer Lance over Fields. Sounds like there might be other teams falling in love with Lance as well

At least I don’t have to watch Mitch play again in a bears uniform

The issue is that Pace and Nagy need to win now. Dalton doesn't move the needle enough imo to do that. The Bears are lacking weapons and that division is getting tougher with GB and Minnesota.

Also, they will need to move up in the draft in order to get a QB. That will involve trading away future picks. The Bears never seem to do the right thing in that area.

 

[win1forthe]

The Bears just got worse. They’re cutting Kyle Fuller. Basically, it was an Andy Dalton for Kyle Fuller trade. That’s a bad trade. Pace just keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper. He continues to make the Trubisky pick worse every day.

Are we sure that Daltons contract is where Fuller’s money is going?

let’s see how free agency plays out before calling it a Fuller for Dalton trade

Sorry if I missed the post but Robinson signed his franchise tender.

Well, cutting Fuller creates $11 million in cap space and Dalton is getting $10 and this might get them slightly below the cap.

They are also allowing Hicks to find a trade partner, but he wants an extension if he’s traded, so I think a deal is unlikely. I think they have to release him. And I see they’re interested in Golladay, not sure where that money is coming from.

Kind of dodged a bullet not trading for Watson. That's a stinky situation he's in down in Houston.

 

[NBARange]

If they were willing to give up everything for Wilson who would have been 35 before they could have built the team back up, then I would think they would be willing to move up to draft a QB. Otherwise, what is the plan? They need to save their job and even if Dalton takes them to 10 wins, what then? You can't give him an extension because he will never take you any farther. So you survived 2021 but still are a bad year away from losing your job in 22 when he goes back to mediocrity. And you still don't have the QB of the future. That's why I think Nagy wants a QB to sit for as much of the year as possible. Maybe even all of it like Maholmes did. If Dalton can get them to the playoffs, they will "Alex Smith" him the following year.

And just think how much capital Houston could have gotten a month ago.

Oops.

 

[Viv_Savage]

The Golladay rumors are hilarious to me too. So you're paying one WR 18 million and then surely Golladay would be compensated somewhere in that range too. Great WRs, but then you have Andy Dalton trying to get them the ball. LOL

Dalton had Amari Cooper, CD Lamb, and Michael Gallup to throw to last year. How did that work out?

Paying 2 WRs top dollar with a shit QB is almost as funny as paying 2 pass rushers a ton of money to "get after the quarterback when playing with the lead" but you never have a lead because you're hot garbage.

God, the Bears are a joke.


*I also realize signing Golladay could mean A Rob gets traded

 

[LuteHawk]

Pace is not the GM you want deciding the next direction
the Bears take. He is a poor judge of talent at QB. He has
proven that fact. Pace should be fired sooner rather than
later.

Fields has a QB rating lower than Rex Grossman

Grossman also didn't play until the 14th game of the season (starting, completing 13 out of 30).

Saints signed QB Andy Dalton, formerly of the Bears, to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million.​

Dalton would figure to serve as Jameis Winston's backup, with Taysom Hill reportedly focusing on a full conversion to tight end in 2022. Dalton was predictably disastrous in Matt Nagy's caveman offense last year in Chicago, throwing eight touchdowns to nine picks over eight games. Entering his age-35 season, Dalton -- who had the league's seventh worst completion rate over expected in 2021 -- will continue his backup tour of various franchises in New Orleans.

in fairness to Dalton, I think Nagy largely broke the offense last year, so I’m not really holding last years stats against anyone who was on last years team.

They did okay as it turns out. They just had to keep the bum around for a year.

I was kind of surprised. Just didn’t think many organizations would want to tie their future to a POS like Watson
