More bad news, Biggs: Jones to IR w/ neck injury

That's what I want too Ric.  There is no shortcut to getting this QB thing right this time.  For once, I hope the franchise tries to pull out all the stops to increase the odds of a success at QB.  Let's not continue the cycle of failure at QB.  But fans want instant gratification.  The McCaskeys know that too - that they can draft a kid and shut up the fan base for a few years.  Same with coaches... toss the fans a bone every few years with a new coach hire.  But if this thing is ever going to change, they need to take the time to get it right rather than just get if fast.  The old toss 'em a bone to shut 'em up trick.  And like total rubes we buy the snake oil.  Every. Single. Time.  

My only point is that the Bears need to build the offense - OL and receivers in particular - to a level that a QB can thrive here.  Then bring in your QB so that he can have a better chance of thriving in that environment.  I am not saying build a perfect offense.  I am saying build to at least a threshold that the QB can thrive here (they are not the same thing).  Just "drafting a kid" hasn't worked for us.  Let's try to do this the right way for once.  Think Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers type situations where they had decent offenses in place before they were drafted.  Before.  Not "hope and a prayer stuff" that the Bears have the backbone to do that after they get the kid.  We've seen what the Bears "do" and it's not too good as far as providing a QB what he needs here - especially OL and WRs of quality (not talking about a good player or two).  But I "get it" that the fans will clamor for a QB, and the McCaskey's will throw them the usual bone to shut them up - and it will be "business as usual" here with yet another QB failure... we gotta be pushing near 50 of them now (not all draftees of course).  The fans will be appeased for 3 or so years though.  I guess there's that.  But I'd like to see the team do this right and build the infrastructure where a QB can thrive here - veteran or draftee.  We can't see to get that right.  

Wasn't he on the all rookie team and that means we shouldn't draft a real LT? 

If you draft a qb first overall, or even top 5, you aren't going to have him sit. that's the difference. It's also a giant piece of the puzzle to solving the O, that high pick, that is now sitting on the bench instead of playing.


Worse yet, we don't even know if this O is functional to start with. Nothing Getsy did in GB had anything to do w/him, it had to do w/his HoF QB.
