This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Better to give him another year. Next year is his make or by Raoul
break and I think you will have a definitive answer. Right now you don't. He needs a second year in the system with the benefit of additional picks and some F/As.
Trade down the top pick and get more top 100 players from this draft. Good OL's can play right away these days. And bet they pick up at least one good F/A OL.
I am not a Bears fan but it is too soon to move on. And finally, next year's QB class is better than this years. You will get a decent on in top 15 picks next year, and if Fields is a failure, you will have one of those picks....probably a Top 10. If you don't, it means he has probably evolved and they went .500 or better.
