ESPN’s Matt Miller: “There's a lot of like for C.J. Stroud there, but Bryce won the entire organization over.”

I’d say this is it all the way.  Everyone was acting like the Reich hiring was such a great move. I never quite saw it as that. These clowns are going to draft a player that won them over on personality off the field and that sounds like a Tepper move all day long.

And the more some on here post

the more you can tell who watched the A22 and who watched some YouTube cutups.  
 

 

The situation was as ideal as you could get for any QB. Elite players everywhere and a scheme that knew how to take advantage of the innate advantage they already had. That's not a knock on CJ, he did everything the way it should and could have been done. He didn't have to really create any opportunities because they were all created for him in the most ideal way.

Young had to constantly create opportunities from a less than ideal situation. Very good Russell Wilson like in that way.

And then you throw in everything he's said to know and understand about the game...very Brees-like. 

The guys potential is just through the roof and he's incredibly likely to hit that potential because of how his brain works and the staff/situation he's walking into.

Poor Young was stuck with Nick Saban at Alabama 

Stroud is garbage too though

Chicago prefers Fields over this entire class .. bad sign

Because historically the Bears have an impeccable track record of quarterback evaluation

'historically' is irrelevant

I have a seriously hard time thinking Young is going to be able to withstand NFL seasons year after year. He might be ok 1st or 2nd seasons, but it might come to a point where he takes a hit and gets injured, then it’s going to be all downhill from there.

Burrow is like 6'3" 220 and tore his ACL his rookie year because of an incompetent OL. Cam Newton was built like a tank and had his career shorted by injuries due to overuse between running and passing, amongst other factors. Any player in the league can suffer a gnarly injury on any snap, it's just the nature of the sport. Where I'm going here is I wonder if frame is as much of an indication on injury risk/longevity as opposed to play style and supporting cast. I swear it feels like Drew Brees never missed one game in his two decade stint with New Orleans.

So it's a Tepper pick

 

I think Tepper is smart enough to learn by previous mistakes and has mainly relied on his qualified staff to make football decisions, including the chose of QB to draft.

That is not saying Tepper didn't have a certain amount of input, mixed in with  a lot of support in he background.

Defenders of the Reich hire often bring up the Superbowl victory he was apart of has the Eagles OC

Shall I retort with how many rings Josh McDaniels has , and he is such an elite coach isn't he 

Meanwhile we had the opportunity to sign one of the best offensive minds in the game, and genius didn't give him a second interview

A franchise history is never irrelevant; especially when you have an ownership that makes the same mistake over and over and over, etc.

The two highest rated QB's in Chicago History are Jay Cutler and Sid Luckman. The former had a decent career, but he was never a top 10 guy in the NFL. The latter, Luckman, was a stud...back in the 1940's 

Luckman retired before my 71 year old mother was born, and he still has more TD passes than any QB in Chicago history except Cutler...and he played at a time when teams rarely threw the football.

 Chicago unfortunately is a wasteland for QB's. That franchise has usually emphasized defense over offense; and running the ball over passing it downfield. I'm over 50 years old, and the Bears have only had 2 players on offense make the Hall of Fame in my football viewing lifetime: Walter Payton (RB) and Jimbo Covert (OL). The Bears had a chance to hire an offensive minded coach this past season to help their young QB. What did they do? They hired a defensive minded HC at a time when high powered with QB centered offenses are the current trend.

None of us are prophets, but I bet you Bryce Young will win, play in, or come close to making a SB in Carolina than Justin Fields ever will in Chicago.

I'm not even a Fields fan, I don't think he is good, which is why CHI sticking w/ him over taking a flyer on a QB this draft is bad news
