I remember the talk about trading up for him.
that was pretty much by one poster, who has had the fortitude to stand by his pre draft position. lots of people wanted to move up for lots of players, many of them will remind us all after the fact when their guy becomes a stud, very few have the cahonas to stand by their guys when they flop though and I think we are getting close to seeing that bust/flop label applied in Chicago.
I'm not that guy, but I wanted Fields too...I was plenty po'd when the Bears got him (I believe) at 11? and we were sitting at 14?
...and I was relieved. I don't trust QBs who aren't asked to go through progressions in college, so I wanted nothing to do with him. That said, I don't think he's quite done yet. He looks horrible now, but the Bears have given him shit to work with.
