Motown Bombers Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Their defense isn't much better than the Lions. The Lions also have the better QB. *Ducks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 dyar: goff 3rd stafford 8th dvoa: goff 3rd stafford 9th.

Motown Bombers Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The Bears always find a way to ruin a QB. They still don't have a 4,000 yard passer in their history. Their single season leader is Erik Kramer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 They can draft Williams and still have a top 10 pick plus probably a pretty high pick for Fields. They really are set up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, considering how long it took him to come up with a QB like JJ as a recruiter, it might be tempting to have Williams served up to you on a platter.

buddha Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 qbr: fields 23rd (right after kyler murray, right above sam howell) passer rating: fields 23rd (right after nick mullen) fields is in year 3 as a starter and he's not even nick mullens. he's barely better than sam howell. if the bears DIDNT have the #1 pick they would probably keep him and roll with him as a glorified running back. but they DO have the #1 pick! use it.

buddha Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 by qbr, stafford exceeds goff by quite a bit. i think stafford is a very dangerous qb. great arm. great receivers. good offensive coach. the rams are really dangerous. the difference between goff and stafford in goff's favor is that stafford can be reckless with the ball and can turn it over. moreso than goff, imo. slow and steady sometimes wins the race. hopefully we can get the rams to turn it over and control the game with the running game.

A) let's see if he wins the big one B) let's see if he sticks around either way. Edited January 8 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number20 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I have 2 friends who are Bears fans, they both worship Fields and want him back. Nothing is ever his fault, he can do no wrong, he's way better than Goff, etc. They blame everything on Getsy, Flus, no receivers except DJ, sh*t OL, equipment manager, ownership, astrology, God....
