[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1034790, member: 17953"] I will admit, I'm not really certain how well the Bears offensive line will hold up. Last year they were decimated by injuries, and the depth was lacking. They could be a top 10 this season, but I wouldn't hold my breath, because the only player they added via the draft to help improve the line is considered a project by most analysts. If he's better than that, give the Bears brain trust credit, because he was like the 6th or 7th OT taken in the draft. The real talent had already left the building. If you're right, and they handled it well, it still doesn't make sense throwing Williams to the wolves. Adding a rookie WR whose talent is unquestionable, doesn't exactly turn the team around, because rookie receivers are usually not that good in retrospect. We've seen this in GB, and know it takes time to get to the point where the game comes to them, speed-wise. So, assuming they trade Fields. What will they get for him? I doubt any instant help. It would be a draft pick, and I have a hunch it would be a conditional pick based on performance. No matter how talented he is, it doesn't matter. All that matters are results. Potential is what the vast majority of guys coming into the NFL have, and a large number of them fail. Teams will be looking at that, with Fields. A risk, and at what price? What people don't realize is that the Bears were actually 7-10 last year, which is not that far off being a potential playoff team. Yet, they finished last in the Division. Throw that out. Go by the actual record. They're not a "last place team" in the sense of being a doormat. They're a potential competitor. But, I think they only beat the Vikings out this year in the division, unless either or both the Packers and Lions lose their starting QBs early. I don't think they challenge, this year. I'm fairly confident the Packers will go in this year with Clifford as their back-up, but I see the Lions signing an experienced player to back Goff. Anyhow, just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
