I'm going to take a wild ass guess at the QB situation

Didn't we lead the league in rushing yards last season?  Yep, I think we did.  Finished 3-14

We were high up in the rankings this season too.  Finished 7-10 playing a very weak schedule.  

This isn't 1978.  Rushing matters far less than it used to.  The only great rushing team I can think of that went deep in the playoffs recently was Tennessee about 5 years ago when Derrick Henry ran for 2000+.  It happened ONCE.  And they lost in the AFCCG.  Never even made a SB much less won one.

The reason I am "focused" on the passing game is because that is what is decisive in the modern NFL.  The rules favor passing.  You're trying to recreate the '85 Bears.

If you think I'm making that up, look at the FT costs for RBs (avg of top-10 salaries) compared to other positions.  Look at where RBs get drafted (mostly Day 3 nowadays).  Both are objective measures that tell you the running game has been greatly devalued and doesn't carry nearly the weight or impact of the passing game.

Come on, you know this stuff.  It's obvious.

You are not giving an honest reading to what I said.  I said my focus is on TOTAL offense = running+passing.  All the top teams have 6000+ yards. The Ravens were #1 in rushing this year. They were #2 last year.  The Bears were #2 this year and #1 last year. But TOTAL offense also includes passing yards.  As I said, with Harrison added, Fields will be 3500+ He was already on 3400+ pace this year even with Getsy running the offense.  Added together, we’re at 6000+ total offense which equates to 28+ ppg. That wins a lot of games IF the Bears defense holds up.  The W-L record reflects defense as much as offense.

Except for Stroud, all your 4000 yard guys played 16-17 games. If Fields plays that many games AND Bears draft Harrison and JABF’s center, Fields is at 3500+ yards. That was my statement.  

I would think that keeping Fields is the play. Trade down and acquire Harrison JR. If that isn't possible draft someone the likes of Nix. That way they would have development if things go south in 2024 and competition if needing to redraft qb's in 2025. Keeping Badget should also help support all.
