doesn't matter who drafted him. it's not the player, its the team and it's ability to build a team that can support the a young qb. QB is the hardest position in sports to play, and you want to bring him to a team w/a garbage O, a questionable at best OL, and 1 WR and a bunch of scrubs to throw to. Don't be surprised when that qb, no matter where he's drafted, no matter how pro ready they are, they'll fail.

It does matter though, A GM/HC/OC are forced to keep a QB that may not be an ideally fit for what they want. You may say they don't have to take the job but how many positions open up for those roles? If we're cleaning house, everyone must go and allow the new team to pick who they want.

You act like Joe Burrow didn't have a questionable team his rookie year. In fact if it wasn't for them listening to him and drafting Chase who knows how he would be. He had a very questionable OL his superbowl run but made it work. Don't get me wrong. Moore is a top 10 WR but he's not elite difference maker. He is a true starter sure but he's not in the top 5 WR range. Bears have two first round picks. One of those picks have to be an elite WR to throw the ball too.

When you truly are a great QB. You can make plays regardless of some weaknesses on the field. Fields is a run QB first. If that's what the Bears want then use his playstyle to his advantage. If that isn't what they're looking for. Time to draft his replacement when it won't cost you an arm and leg to do it.

Going into his rookie year Burrow had Boyd who had just gone back to back 1k yards, an older but effective AJ Greene and Tee Higgins, and high 2nd round pick that year. They had Mixon on back to back 1k rushing yards. The TE's were nothing special, and the OL was bad, and Joe Burrow got injured during the season b/c of it. Thats the example you are going with?

Other than Moore, what WR is breaking that starting lineup? None. CC and Mooney are firmly on the bench. Kmet makes it, only b/c of how bad the TE's are, not b/c he's special and he doesn't replace AJ Green. Who's the 1k rushing RB to help relieve pressure from the passing game? Whos' the OC on this team that is using the RB in such a way to get 1k yards? The Bears OL is every bit as bad as that cincy OL that got their high ranking qb hurt.

And yes it doesn't matter who drafts the qb, could be last regime, could be the current one. It only matters IF the team is built to support that qb, and the Bears are not built to support them. the OL is bad, the rest of the weapons are bad. The OC doesn't have a clue what he's doing, we have 3 RB's and they tend to get enough carries combined to be less than a solo RB.

The Bears need a new OC, at least 2 new OL, possibly 3 and upgrades at WR and TE and you want a rookie qb coming into that? No, thats how they've done it the last 3 times and it all failed.
