Why though? Teams all around the league are finding guys that are above that....why should our expectations be any different?

I don't understand the mentality, from both fans and the team itself, of being content with having a less smelly turd.

Well, I would say...

A) We don't have a 1st round pick and legitimately "good" QB's don't tend to make their way into the open market. Unless their is a catch... like they're Rivers/Brady's age and have a ton of question marks around them for different reasons.

B) I think most realize that we went 12-4 with pedestrian QB play in 2018. Going 8-8 with horrible QB play in 2019. I think most see that "If we're just decent at the position. We're probably in the mix in the NFC."

It's like... we all WANT to date super models, yeah? But there's a finite amount and most guys don't have access to that.

Carr, Dalton, old man Brady, old man Rivers, AJ McCarron, 2nd round project draft pick... and Mitchell Trubisky. These are our choices. Take the best one and hope it's a good fit. Again, we don't need elite QB play to be competitive.

I'm tired of this mentality. It's a defeated mindset. While it's definitely hard to fill your QB spot with a player better than what you already have....it's not impossible. Never has been impossible. Never will be impossible.

The problem with this is....the goal isn't being in the mix. We've been in the mix before. The goal should always be to win the Lombardi. Stop being satisfied with simply making the playoffs.

That's the problem with the ownership of this team. They are okay with giving the fanbase a team that might win.

I'd be on board with getting aggressive and trading for Carr.

I'm also not completely turned off by the idea of Case Keenum as a backup option.

You go out of your way to respond to my posts that aren’t directed at you. That’s all we need to know to understand which one of us is bothered kiddo.

I think of myself as the board sanitation crew. I go out and clean up the stupid comments people make in here. So don't flatter yourself gray pubes.

Sanitation makes sense. Your IQ probably lends itself well to cleaning up other people’s shit.

Stupidest thing I've heard yet.

I'm excellent at cleaning your idiotic statements up.

You’re excellent at responding days later and bringing absolutely zero substance.

You thinking this hurts my feelings BAD.

Your imbecilic opinion that the Bears ownership is just content with giving their fanbase a team that "might" win is the stupidest thing said so far. Your opinions cater to the bottom denominator but the genius sees the stupidity for what it is.

I would run too after saying something as stupid as "Bears management is just content with giving their fanbase a team that might win". Run gray pubes run.

Umm common sense?

Haven’t won a SB in over 30 years.

The team President in charge of everything is a an accounting guy.

Raised ticket prices despite the team not being very good last season.

2 playoff appearances in the past 10 years. Haven’t had back to back playoff appearances in nearly 15 seasons.

Common sense tells me this is a franchise that is okay with not winning so long as the it gives the appearance to its fan base that they are trying. Fans still show up and buy lots of merch and that’s all that matters.

Worst owners in sports.

If you have a counter argument to that....I’d love to hear it.

I married a Las Vegas showgirl. Maybe that's why I have higher expectations of my football team.



I'd be on board with getting aggressive and trading for Carr.

I'm also not completely turned off by the idea of Case Keenum as a backup option.

Why are you misrepresenting what I said? I clearly said that these options COULD upgrade the QB position. "Decent" is an upgrade from last year. I believe Carr, Dalton and a couple others improve our QB play from 2019.

You're being intentionally dense now. Stop.

We just went 8-8. All anyone can ask is to put themselves into the mix for the Lombardi. Especially teams who failed to even make the post-season in the year prior. That is it. Year in and year out. All you can do is put yourself into that group.

Holy shit... I'll take "The most dense internet message board poster alive" for 500, Alex.

There is no F'ING way... I mean... there is ZERO F'ING way that you just spouted all of that stuff about expectations of Lombardi's and greatness. Then, you go onto advocate for Case Keenum?

Jesus man. lol
