When we have such little cap I don’t like it. The Bears wasted an off-season of Fields by declaring Dalton QB1 and taking reps away from him. Dalton shouldn’t take a single rep from Stroud. 

Basically just fills the space we created by cutting Elflein

People mad about this move dont understand football.

Plot twist. We don’t draft a QB at 1.

Well... I don't hate it

Since shaking off the fact that was not Dalton Schultz-this pick has warmed on me--in fact, based on the stats, if we signed him last year, he would have been our best QB.

I am glad we didn't sign him last year,  we might have won the NFC South, been in the playoffs and could not have afforded to move up to # 1 in this years draft.

I kinda think some here got so used to having #2 and #3 type QBs as our starter, that they're now forgetting Red's just our backup, and a perfect one to have at that.

Because signing Dalton worked out for Chicago? Dallas? New Orleans? 

[PNW_PantherMan]

Better than signing Sam Darnold.  For a backup/mentor type position I like it.

Hes not here to start.  He's here to help show the rookie starter a professional routine, diet, regimen, etc. They are trying like crazy to trade Corral.  We literally had to have another qb on the roster and you really like to have a vet qb in the qb room to pair up with a rookie.  Dalton wasnt signed for anything on the field really barring disaster.
