Bold trade for QB is Bears GM Ryan Pace's best path

Bold move to trade for Cutler; how'd that work out? Giving up multiple picks, some will be high, isn't the answer when the "bold move" hasn't played more then 2 games, and is in the most qb friendly O system in the NFL.

There is a reason NE drafted another qb, and is now looking to trade Jimmy G; it's matt cassel all over again.

I told you months ago it will happen and I told you why.

Don't compare Jimmy to the others. Jimmy was drafted to replace Brady, but Brady won't go anytime soon. His contract runs to 2020 and by all the Looks, he will Play it out and even extend it. Jimmys contract Ends 2018 and if they want to Keep him, they have to pay him Starters Money. Do you pay Brady and on top of that Jimmy and his 15-20 Million? If they don't trade him this offseason, they risk on losing him for far less than what they will get this year.

Don't care what reason he or the others were drafted for, their performance was the same. Langford was drafted to replace Forte, he couldn't and they just so happened to draft a guy that could. What you were drafted for doesn't mean squat. I think we all know WHY they are trading him, 15-20 mil a year, or guaranteed? a year probably about right, guaranteed you are WAY low. 

That's why they drafted Briscett. They drafted him because they knew they will lose Jimmy. They want to Keep him, but they can't. That's the big difference this time. It's about utilizing the assets they have. They won't get a Top10 pick and I don't see any Team giving up a 1st for him. They will settle in for a high 2nd and something added and it's still more than they will get next year when his contract is over.

I'm sure whoever hires McDaniels will trade for Garoppolo.

That's a safe assumption, or they drafted him b/c they saw a bit of Cassel/Hoyer in Jimmy G, which is just as good of an assumption. Again, floor is set at 1st and 4th, until the trade happens you have to assume that they aren't taking less. It only takes one stupid team, it only takes a team w/2 firsts(browns), it only takes a team to believe that this qb draft class really is weak and all of a sudden that 2nd 1st seems like a bargin for Jimmy G. They don't have to settle. Well the Bears aren't hiring McDaniels, so this becomes a moot point doesn't it?

Just to add another Point. They Need to sell this Franchise to the fans again. In order to do that, do you think picking a guy like Allen will do that compared to a QB? That shiny new toy and being sexy? What if Pace doesn't want a QB? SF is the Wildcard here, they will take a QB, they aren't interested in drafting a Allen or Fournette. How could you get this right? You trade for the hometown Boy that will be your new shiny toy that will be a selling Point to your fanbase.

AJ McCarron has started a PO game and will be cheaper. Just some more thoughts

Pace painted himself into a corner here didn't he? He didn't want a qb in the first 2 drafts when he didn't have a long term starter to begin with, nor did he have any in the works so what he wants is moot. All he has to do is sell several starters, and a young high ceiling prospect at qb in the works
