For those who think the Bears should draft a QB, DJ Moore just complicated the off-season. DJ said he "hopes" the Bears do not draft QB and he believes Justin is better than Caleb Williams/Drake Maye.
Moore may not have an actual say in who the Bears draft but I believe his opinion will carry some weight. Something to watch out for.
Disagree hard on everything here. 7 receivers in the league have more yards than Moore does this season, and all of them have 20+ more targets than he does.Why exactly should Bears care what DJ Moore thinks?
He has 1 year left on his deal and isn't exactly looking all that amazing out there most games. Yeah QB play and play calling suck but he hasn't exactly shown himself to be a dominant #1 WR and is containable in games
Honestly if team makes good offer Bears should consider moving him especially if they plan to draft a WR like Harrison or Nabers early.
Can also grab another WR late 1st round/2nd round in this draft with great upside if you get picks in those areas from trade/trades
Thomas the other WR from LSU could be good option late 1st/early 2nd for Bears
Daniesl + Nabers + Thomas = Chemistry built in immediately

I’m not particularly invested in the outcome other than how it pertains to Chicago, but sure, as long as the money goes to charity.I'd go 5 to 1
That is pretty pathetic given Browns long history
Even the Bears have had 4 WR's accomplish that
Marty Booker
Alshon Jeffery
Brandon Marshall
Allen Robinson
I think the Bears players like Fields and are sick of getting questions from the media about drafting his successor. I totally get that, but I also think it's completely meaningless.DJ is just having his QB’s back, as he should. Nobody should expect a problem from him if they draft another qb.
The guy who just got demoted from D Coordinator in Philly?
I get that you have a man crush on the dude. But why not focus posts more on why the Bears should take Caleb instead of all the excuses?You know that top 25 defense thing that every talks about with Caleb. Did you know that three of those games were from… 2021?? His 18 year old season at OU. Lmfao.

I’ve talked about his 4900 yard season with 1 player in the top 100 in the draft.I get that you have a man crush on the dude. But why not focus posts more on why the Bears should take Caleb instead of all the excuses?
That said - I'm leaning more towards taking Caleb if the Bears get #1, but there's 4+ months to go. And right now my suspicions are New England ends up with the #1 pick. The Panthers have 2 teams in a free fall in their next 2 games. More upsets could be coming.
If he is in the draft.Draft Caleb Williams at number 1 the end.
Once upon a time Justin Fields was an "amazing prospect." Not saying, Williams is not without talent, I'm saying his talent is being overrated. Throw in his smaller size and his fumbling issues, I am less than impressed with his video game numbers.. Everyone is so jaded by the Bears bad history that it becomes hard to accept that this guy is an amazing prospect.
Fields dropped to QB4 at #11, past QB needy teams in Panthers and Falcons. Bears fans' talking up his amazing reputation as a prospect are majorly ignoring how the league actually viewed him at the draft.Once upon a time Justin Fields was an "amazing prospect."

The best thing Caleb Williams can do for the Bears is to pull a Peyton Manning and go back to school At least, the Bears would get a clearer view of the draft.
Williams has been projected as the top overall quarterback in the class basically since he came out of high school and committed to coach Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma. He transferred to USC in 2022 when Riley took the coaching job there and didn't disappoint, winning the Heisman Trophy that season. Over two years at USC, Williams has 72 passing touchdowns, 21 rushing touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
"He's close to a lock [to go No. 1]," said one NFL general manager. "I wouldn't say he's a lock to the level Trevor Lawrence or Joe Burrow were, but he's more of a lock than Bryce Young or Baker Mayfield."
Williams has been called a "generational talent" by many NFL scouts and has received comparisons to Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and a young Russell Wilson. Quarterbacks with his arm strength, ability throw from multiple arm angles/platforms, field vision and mobility are rare -- which is why he's the overwhelming favorite among NFL scouts to be the first pick. His ability as a creator stands out most. His 82.3 Total QBR is good for 11th in the nation this season, and his 11 rushing touchdowns rank fifth among quarterbacks.
Calling anyone a "lock" is always risky, but in a poll of 10 scouts and front office personnel, everyone believed Williams will go No. 1. And I've personally had him as the top prospect in this class for more than two years.
Recently, Yahoo! Sports interviewed seven anonymous general managers with one question in mind --- should the Bears keep Fields, or trade him elsewhere?
The unanimous consensus was the Bears should ship Fields out of town.
“It would be a clear-cut decision to draft Caleb for me,” an AFC general manager said in the report. “The fact that we’re in Year 3 and [they] don’t want to exercise the fifth-year option tells me what I need to know. I just don’t think Fields can win consistently as a passer, even though he is gifted physically.”

7 general managers unanimously agree they would trade Justin Fields: reports
If you’re on the “Bears should keep Justin Fields” train, you might want to look away. Recently, Yahoo!

Just to reaffirm that this idea isn't just espoused on here by a couple of posters with a little bit of game tape. Williams IS really good. If you're going after a QB in this draft, he has the fewest question marks. Sticking with Fields after he has produced (generously) yet another question mark in year 3 doesn't make sense, not just because you're punting on even trying to solve the QB question, but because you're months away from having to decide whether you're letting Fields walk (or giving him a Daniel Jones like offer if he even has an average season) after year 4, or committing a Montez Sweat amount of money for year 5.
