There have been tons of stellar QB prospects. They are far less predictable than MHJ. He is going to be sensational, unless he breaks a knee. I am confident I have a Super Bowl ready offense in 2025 with Fields plus those 3 receivers. Maybe also with Williams, but not as confident until I see him on the field in a Bears uniform.
OK, man. And QB >> WR in terms of impact. You know this.
You wouldn't trade Mahomes for Tyreek Hill ever.
That’s because I KNOW what Mahomes can do. He’s already won Super Bowls. Williams hasn’t played one game yet. The data from motm says there is a 30% failure rate for QBs drafted #1. I believe my odds of having a Super Bowl ready offense with Fields, Harrison, Moore, Allen plus a good center and competent offensive coordinator is better than that.
You are talking QB>WR draft as a general principle, and I am talking about a concrete set of players and a concrete Super Bowl ready 2025 timeline.
LOL Alex...we still have $35 mill in cap space. I'd imagine they'll do some sort of extension with Allen...3/4 years with the 3rd/4th years essentially being void years.
Please explain to me how we still have 35mil. I hope you are not looking at spotrac. Need to take away 12-13mil for draftees, you down to 22. And still a bunch of contracts not counted in, like Byars. So now u down 10. So, whats that LOL all about?
Good call...forgot about the draft picks. Byard isn't counting $12 mill against the cap this year. Either way, its still enough to sign an edge...there aren't any left that are going to command big salaries. So still LOL, we're fine.

Byard is not the only one. But on spotrac there is still no Byard, Curhan, Everett, Amen, Pryor, Rypien and Shelton. You are right, its not 10mil that we have, its less.

I am especially interested in the Shelton contract. He was set to get $4 million (not guaranteed) from Rams, and executed his opt-out clause in his contract.

And MHJ hasn't played one game yet either. So its a direct apples-to-apples comparison.
It's beyond the point of absurdity how some portions of the Bears fanbase vastly overvalues and overestimates Justin Fields. It's practically a religious obsession with some of you guys. No amount of objective data or empirical evidence from an actual NFL marketplace seems to matter. Let's be honest -- it's become a flat-earth cult. Believe whatever you want to believe until April 25th when you'll finally discover that the mothership isn't coming after all.

No, Aaron Lemming did a breakdown of it on Twitter. He figures the Bears have $44 mill in effective space before accounting for the other signings. Once including those signings based on whats been reported and figuring the contracts being replaced on the TOP 51, the Bears have $34 mill in effective space. He says the Bears can spend about $10 to $12 mill more prior to September. He also notes that there are several ways for them to create more space this off season, plus the $90+ mill in cap space they'll have next year.

LOL, hey, we're Bears fans... nobody ever said we are the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Why so upset? Poles FO team is very measured and work their plan. I dont think Poles (or any GM) would ever commit to drafting a player #1 without medicals. Trades & signings always have physicals and if a player fails them the signing/trade can be voided. But with the Draft a team cant call for a do-over of the the draft because the pick has medical issues. Each team is responsible for doing their due dilligence. No need for put downs. We're all Bears fans here.

I keep forgetting about the generational part. I get it confused with all the other generational ones that I’ve seen while I have been alive
