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.

There isn't a clear ace qb in this draft by Doggie
All of the top 4 guys come with major question marks so there isn't a guy who is clearly better than Fields. And whatever you think of Fields, he had no OL and a pitiful WR group in 2023 and the Bears defense was in the process of being torn down.
On top of that the Bears need help at virtually every unit on the field except perhaps QB and TE. If they sign Montgomery they are okay at RB. But they need at least 2 OL, probably at least 4 guys in the defensive front 7, a WR1 (which they solved with this trade), probably 2 dbs of some sort. That isn't going to happen in free agency or in one draft unless they're extremely lucky.
