I still say the biggest problem is ownership. This has been discussed many times. The McCaskeys had to hire a consultant, Ernie Accorsi, to advise them to hire Pace. If you don't have the ability to hire your own executives as an ownership group, that's a problem. Also, the fact that Pace is still employed to draft a second "franchise" QB after the Trubisky debacle is further indictment of the McCaskey/Phillps "braintrust". Pace seems like an earnest, sincere guy. He also seems like someone who is in over his head. A decent ownership group would have recognized this years ago, let alone not hired him in the first place.

Unfortunately Cam is too concerned with making fashion statements. He’s a better fit for Project Runway.
Easier said than done, I'm afraid. Teams would have to be pretty desperate to want the Bears' third string QB. Bears may wind up eating his salary just to open up a roster slot.
IdK, some of those wideout post- selection interviews and home celebration scenes were cringe inducing. Toney's female relatives put spandex to the test and Jaylen Waddle/Ernest Givens might be a popular search today.
Fields has a great set of wheels and he's going to need them. Until they rebuild the OL line he better stay mobile. Remember this is the team that took Stan Thomas, marc Colombo, and Chris Williams to name a few.
Outland Trophy Winner Gabe Carimi or how ever you spell it. Only team to draft a bad Wisconsin linemen. Next Joe Thomas he was not
Fields was a much better choice than Jones for the Bears. Most experts had him as the #2 QB after Lawrence. Strong arm, very accurate, nice touch and can get it done with his feet too. Dual threat prospect.
Mac Jones was absolutely not the right fit for for the Bears. Especially with their lack of pass blocking. I wish him well and NE and thank god he's not here.

"Neither should have gone round 1. " What? This is a departure from pretty much every scout and expert in the NFL.

Yes, the Bears need a QB, linemen, and other positions. But what they need first and foremost is another Jim Finks, a guy with an impeccable eye for talent, a football guru, a wizard, the guy who built the '85 Bears. Compared to Finks, no one in that organization, from the executive suite down to the basement, has any idea what they're doing.

Jones will be the better NFL QB. The Patriots will be a better team with him as the leader. The Patriots will be a better team than the Bears. The Bears better pray Fields can stay healthy using his feet. I think his decision with the ball are questionable and feel his will have happy feet. Field’s doesn’t do well in big games. Jones is cool calm and collective. He is very smart and knows when to get rid of the ball. The Patriots did it again got a player flying under the radar or under rated. We will see how it goes but I am not high on Fields. I hope he proves me wrong. I just have a feeling about Jones. He appears Brady like and that is scary in the Belichk system.
Something about Jones that is Brady like. He ended up in the perfect place. He is better off with the Patriots. The Bears don’t know how pick or coach a QB. Belichk is a master at developing players. IMO Fields looked shocked!
So are you saying Jones is better than Fields OR the Patriots are a strong organization and Billichek knows how to groom QBs, while the Bears organization is built weak, has not groomed a QB in 70 years and Nagy has no clue what he is doing.
I think your confusing the two.

Jones is better than Fields and the Patriots know how to develop a QB. The Bears don’t have a clue. Jones is happy to be a Patriot and rightly so. Fields looked shocked to be a Bear.
They gave up their 3rd and 6th round picks to trade up to get him. Pace is giving away picks left and right which is a losing strategy, it’s not like the Bears don’t have holes every where that they can just choose not to use the picks.
Offensive tackle Teven Jenkins may be worth the extra picks. Big, relentless, and versatile, he can either make big holes or protect the quarterback.
Why? No other team? Are you saying no other teams know how to coach a QB. I am very happy with the Bears 2 & 3rd picks. I am going to root for Fields and hope he will work out for our Bears but I am also going to watch the Patriots to see how Jones progresses. My money says he will learn faster than Fields but Belichk is smart and will wait for the right time to get him on the field. I don’t believe Fields is my franchise QB but I hope I am completely wrong. 😊
Go Bears!
Thank you GOD! I wanted Jalen Hurts last season with one of the two Second Round picks last Draft and quite disappointed in another year of Trubisky, Foles and Gomer Pyle.
Justin Fields will be outstanding and will learn behind Andy Dalton who I've liked since his TCU days!

Just some interesting info to consider https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/4...insanely-well-aptitude-test-mark-sanchez-says
Good article doesn’t change my mind. Like I said earlier I hope he proves me wrong because the Bears desperately need a good QB.
So what are you basing your assumption that Jones will learn faster than Fields on?
we won’t know for a few years if this class was as good as all the “draft experts” say it was. But what Pace did was address needs and did so by taking one of the top players at each position. Will all of them be a star, doubtful. But if Fields, Jenkins and Borom become everyday pros for the next 10-12 years, it’ll be hard to argue against what he did.
I still don’t think this team is a contender or even very good, but for the first time in a long time, their is hope based on young talent.
I’m ready for football.

I guess it’s because
He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Information Sciences in December 2019 and is currently completing his Masters of Sports Hospitality with an expected graduation date of December 2020.
couple that with he ran a pro style offense at Alabama and will be playing for the best coach of all time. I think he will have no problem learning an NFL offense
I read Fields scored the highest ever on one of aptitude tests. Highest ever out of 6500 tests given
Yeah that sounds good but I am not sure what his college gpa is or if he even graduated with a degree? Their is also a cloud surrounding him that he never attended classes only did on-courses. Maybe you can find out if he graduated or what his college gpa was. All I could find is he had a 3.9 gpa out of HS. He also transferred to OSU after he couldn’t win the starting job from Jake Fromm at Georgia. Meanwhile Jones has a double bachelor degree and will graduate with a Master’s with a 4.0 gpa.
That's like being named Ms. Congeniality in a beauty contest.
