Scout: This guy beat Alabama in the national championship.

Bears GM: Yeah, yeah we don’t need to bother with that. He doesn’t have the white, I mean, err right stuff

Bledsoe would’ve won 10 had you guys not let him go to Buffalo.

Actually I liked Drew, so I retract my bum comment. But fact is he went 5-13 with BB and then Brady took that same team and won 3 SB's. I'm glad Bledsoe was able to play in the SB vs GB though

I like Drew too. And if he hadn't stepped up in the AFC Championship game The Patriots wouldn't have even had a chance to win their first Superbowl, so he definitely deserves some credit.

I knew Mahomes would be good. Maybe because I actually watched college football. Everyone saying no one knew Mahomes would be good is a moron. He was the top of my board. Trubusky was about 45th.

Not quite. Maybe if Love was the second overall pick drafted ahead of Burrow and Tua.
Trading up for a QB with mixed reviews when the team has Rodgers was ridiculous. The Packers gave up a 4th round pick to move up when they could have had a QB like Jake Fromm in later rounds. Most experts gave the Packers a D grade.

I had Mahomes as the top QB too.

I didn’t say they had a good draft I said drafting Love 28th or whatever is not even close to drafting Trubusky second.

Trubisky had red flags coming out of college but the Bears took him anyway. The Packers have a HOF QB in Rodgers so the Love pick was stupid.

It is probably just stupidity. But if a white qb was highly touted and had won a national title do you think he at least gets a courtesy interview?

In hindsight...Da Bears FO look real foolish here.

But...this is a franchise that started Vince Evans for a couple of seasons...so Idk if I would jump on the race card for this one, but I do agree that if the QB was white and won a natty, they would certainly give him a curtesy call.

I think...somebody sold them a bill of goods on Trubisky and they bought into big time, so much so that they decided Watson was not worth talking to.

It happens...I don't know which is worse...not talking to him at all, or talking to him and not picking him.

The thread is they didn't talk to him, but all I can say is white QBs have been left on the board...and Gabe Rivera (Steelers '83 1st round pick) probably wishes he was never even in the draft with Dan Marino.

Wasn’t Tebow white? How’d the media treat him?

Don't argue with Derski, he is a GB fan, and you
That was a competitive game.

Both QB's has about the same yards, 2 tds each ,but your D picked off Bledsoe 4 times . GB's running the ball to control the clock and of course Desmond Howard was huge. I forgot Andre Rison was on that team and caught a 50 yard bomb from Favre and of course Antonio Freeman

Him being a Packers fan still doesn't justify his stupid comment.

I read Belichick or Billick spelled here liked Love, even though he is no QB whisperer,with his expertise being in D, I think the kid will turn out ok, imo

He has all the things needed to be good except for his decision making. I give him a 50/50 chance of being good.
