I’m kinda surprised so many of you guys are not that high on Dak, because statistically speaking he would be the best Bears QB since Luckman. But I totally understand why you wouldn’t want his contract. In all fairness, almost no one is worth that kind of money, so that’s not exactly a valid argument. And before we decide if the Bears should go after him or not, let’s analyze the alternatives.
I’ve said a few months ago that the wise thing to do is let Foles be the starter this year and if the coaching staff still believes in Mitch after the season, offer him a cheap one-year deal to further evaluate him before making a final decision. At least that would buy us some time. However, some of you thought this scenario’s unrealistic. The truth is, Foles is a decent bridge QB but nothing more and is definitely not the long-term answer. So, if it’s neither Mitch or Foles, what are our options?
Unless we crap the bed, we ain’t getting a Top 5 pick to select Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields. And even though I like North Dakota State’s Trey Lance, I think it’s very risky to go all in on a mid-round pick from a small school and make him the future of the franchise.
So, forget the 2021 draft. What’s next?
Free Agency? Let’s see…. Mitch, Kizer, Rivers, Dalton, Brissett…. and Dak. Those are the only names available next offseason.
Whether you like it or not, if you want a good, reliable and healthy QB to go w/ this elite defense, Dak is the only one that makes sense. Not because he’s “worth” it but because he’s the only option there is.
I just love when Bears fans wag their fingers at "not worth the money" QBs like Cousins, Carr, and Dak when each would be a massive upgrade over Trubisky, barring a miracle turnaround.
