I think there are a lot of QBs that could do well in Dallas with what they have. That said, pre-injury Dak showed a lot of growth over the previous two seasons and he's a known entity. It's a good day for Dallas.
With him they scored 9, 15, and 9 against NE, BUF, and PHI down the stretch in 2019 and had another 10 point showing against NO earlier in the season, so maybe it's the offense.On the other hand... their offense was really good with him and terrible without him. Given their roster they almost had to bring him back regardless of price unless they wanted to blow it up
Why are we skipping a season and singling out 4 games against top pass defenses?With him they scored 9, 15, and 9 against NE, BUF, and PHI down the stretch in 2019 and had another 10 point showing against NO earlier in the season, so maybe it's the offense.
He changed his underwear?
Maybe he wants to join forces with Easterby. While many have recoiled in horror to Chaplain Jack's approach, maybe Wilson likes what he's hearing.The entire Wilson saga is so weird and seemed to come out of nowhere. Like who would have guessed that he'd try to force his way out of Seattle? I certainly wouldn't have.
Wait, you sure you'd really be willing to trade your 32 year-old top 5 QB for a 25 year-old top 5 QB...?I'd do Wilson for Watson in a cocaine heartbeat.
They feel like a trade down team. They're more than one dude away from competing and could use a volume injection of talent.Yeah I never really bought that ATL was going to draft a QB. Julio and Ryan still have plenty of good years left in the tank. They’re not why ATL has struggled. I hope #4 is in play.
The Stuart/Hill charts are obviously better metrics for actual expected value, but has there ever been a high pick traded at those values? They all seem to be Jimmy Johnson values+.Per the Rich Hill chart, #4 is worth 491, #15 is worth 315, so need to make up 176 points. #46 is worth 128, thus leaving 48 points. 96 is worth 39 points.
So you could offer 15 + 46 + 96, or 15 + 46 + 2022 2nd, or 15 + 46 + Gilmore/Jackson, something like that. Although I suspect to actually get it done they'd need to offer 15 + 2022 first + something else.
They never met?Poor the Bears. They haven't had a franchise quarterback since before my daddy met my momma.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Pats somehow manage to draft two of them.View: https://twitter.com/LaurieHoresh/status/1371917498161926147
Someone really pushing the "better trade up with us if you want a QB" line through Schefty.
Probably a backup deal, so maybe 3-5M guaranteed, with the chance to get to 12 if he starts enough games. Makes sense for both sides, he's not starting anywhere but this way he has a path and gets some upside, they get a guy who won't embarrass them too badly if Watson holds out.Just heard in WFAN that Houston signed Tyrod Taylor for 1 year, $12M. Sounds like they might be answering the phone now.
Based on the texts I’m getting from family& friends out here in Chicagoland, these mild midwesterners are about to full Bastille on Soldier Field.Bears fans went from Russell pipe dreams to this

I had no idea that you were in your 60s.Poor the Bears. They haven't had a franchise quarterback since before my daddy met my momma.
Can you think of anyone else that would qualify? I mean I know that McMahon’s passing stats were comparable, but he did it 40 years later when the passing game was a little easier.Sid Luckman?
Jay Cutler is a top 3 QB in Bears history. Jesus.Blanda wasn't very good in Chicago. Lujack was there what, three or four years? Nope, I think that Luckman is still the lone QB in franchise history that was really good relative to the era.
It's stunning that Chicago has had one very good quarterback and one very good coach in their history.Blanda wasn't very good in Chicago. Lujack was there what, three or four years? Nope, I think that Luckman is still the lone QB in franchise history that was really good relative to the era.
Sorted by yardage, Bears QBs vs Pats QBs (for top 5 Bears QBs) (not counting totals for other teams)
Pity Bears fans, because Cutler is arguably the second best QB in franchise history.Jay Cutler is a top 3 QB in Bears history. Jesus.
Is it customary for local sports writers of other teams to attend press conferences of players in other cities. I get the Philly link but that part seems kind of weird to me. Or, is this just a national pool of reporters and Philly is getting excluded?Wentz officially introduced today ... and the Colts are banning questions from Philadelphia sportswriters:

I’m no fan of Reanimated Deadspin, but they are dead right here. The Indy Star should boycott this.
Generally PCs are open to all Media, something like a starting QB is going to get National attention, and certainly guys from his last team. I mean Brady in TB had basically every NE reporter I'm sure.Is it customary for local sports writers of other teams to attend press conferences of players in other cities.

It’s pretty weak in any event.
The Bears season passing yardage record is 3838. That is INSANE.Pity Bears fans, because Cutler is arguably the second best QB in franchise history.
