I agree with picking more QBs but how many of those top tier QBs were taken at the top of the draft?
On a separate note on New England's dynasty. Yes it's been Brady and the hoody but another constant w/New England is a big strong interior D Line.
Add ownership to that list.
+1 From top to bottom the franchise is doing it right. My hope is that someday the Bears can fix this franchise. New England understands how to build and maintain excellence. Even in a down year they are usually pretty decent to watch. Almost every year the expectation there is to win that year's super bowl.
By contrast, the Bears fans celebrate minor victories. Like the 3rd win this year. We beat San Francisco. Yay team.

That is one game I wish we would have lost. You for sure have a good QB and possibly even Garrett to pick from
Not very depressing with all the shady behavior from that organization....Whether it's Brady and McNally in 2004, or Spygate, or McNally again with Deflate gate.

Personally, I thought the Spygate thing was a big deal, and flat wrong. But the idea of deflating footballs, to me, wasn't as big a deal. I really thought Goodell over reacted to that. Multiple players from multiple teams came out and said that underinflating footballs was common on a number of teams.
And yet there are those who won't take a QB at 3 .... but are ok with it at 19 , as long as we've " traded down " . Last time I checked - a 1st rd pick is a 1st rd pick . Some are just chicken when the # of the pick is too high . The panic rat starts to rise in their chests and the air gets too thin up here ( in top 5 land ) . Wussies . Have some balls and pick a proven winner and lets go .

I think that in the end, most of us just want them to get the pick right. Just draft us a legit franchise QB like the big boys have. I'm fine with using the #3 pick to do that. But don't just grab a shitty QB again.

Can I assume that by "proven winner" you are referring to Watson? Winning a college NC is a super poor way of determining who is or is not worthy of a top five pick. I may be reading too much into your post, but I can rattle off several NC winning qbs in the last decade or so who I would not want the Bears to pick, first round or fifth round: C. Leak, T. Tebow, V. Young, any of the 'Bama qbs, maybe Lienart (sp?). There is no proven anything, whoever we take will be a gamble.

Watson is a correct assumption . And there's alot of logic in ur post that I don't discount . However there's more " to" Watson's game than some of these schlappys you listed ( chief among are Young & Lienart ; but who knew 1 was gonna be weak-minded ... and the other doomed to failure because of a terrible work ethic ) . I don't sense that about Watson , and I could be wrong , but any player is a gamble , and as Arians says " no risk it , no biscuit " .
