What do they do if the same thing happens again and Fields minimally improves? Hope you fall ass backwards into the first overall pick again, where the projected 2025 QB draft class isn't as good?
There is plenty of logic to the bears trading out of 1, but it CANNOT under any circumstances be to build a team around fields
You trade Caleb, get assets, you trade fields, get asset, they still have to take a qb in the first 2 rounds
I get the logic behind using the #1 pick to build a roster that’s fantastic outside the qb position. Makes the bears competitive almost regardless of who the qb is unless they’re an unmitigated disaster. Applying that same logic, why would you choose to build it around fields who is proven mediocrity at best?
