Win. We ain’t getting MHJ.

[slanidrac16]

I don’t believe we are going to have a shot at MHJ.
The Bears , because of holding the Panthers pick, will take him. Unless Fields totally craps the bed the Bears are going stick with him.

Start making other plans.

 

[Dback Jon]

If the Bears are set on fields, they would be better off, trading down

We can hope.

Fields is a RB.

 

[slanidrac16]

Fields is a RB.

Hope you’re right. But if the Bears keep the current GM and/or head coach I don’t think they would start anew.

 

[CardNots]

The things I know to be true.

There will be MORE talk about this draft than any in recent memory.

It will be electric.

 

[Stout]

The Bears will fire their coach and draft a new QB. Bank it, dude.

 

[cardsfanmd]

If Fields is your QB, it’s pointless wasting draft capital on MHJ.

 

[Chopper0080]

I think it is more likely the Bears trade out of 1 than take MHJ at that spot.

I think you are right.. can’t see them passing on MHJ, UNLESS they realized that the best way is to follow the Ravens game plan. It doesn’t matter if you have Davante Adams, Fields can’t throw the route tree thus will be under utilized.

It’s crazy, but if they beat Cleveland next week they will have a decent shot of making the playoffs.

I'm still not 100% convinced he's going to enter the draft

Nah - agents know - gotta strike while the hammer's hot

 

[Ronin]

Trade down.
Anyway, I was reading he could make a lot of money from NIL. As much as his rookie contract.

As much as season 1 of a rookie contract perhaps.

I am.

Yes

Rookie contract for a top 3 pick is 40mil with about 25 million in signing bonus...aint nobody giving him 25 million dollars to spend one more year in college

 

[DVontel]

I really think you guys to ask yourselves that “Do I believe a college student is getting paid $20mill+ to stay in college one more year?” Like….do you guys genuinely believe that?

 

[Dback Jon]

Not only that, you delay getting your NEXT contract, where the REALLY big money is by a year.

 

[Stout]

Yes

That isn't the same as a rookie contract. A contract is for more than one year.

Do I believe Ohio State has enough football boosters to come up with that kind of money? Absolutely.

And his dad is an NFL Hall of Famer. It’s not like he’s an injury away from living the rest of his life on the streets.

I think he’ll end up in the draft, but if he really loves being in college, it seems like the perfect storm for a guy to buck conventional wisdom.

 

[DVontel]

For one more year of a COLLEGE player? This isn't even a QB we're talking about.

I think it would be dumb as hell if he went back, but anything is possible.

 

[Solar7]

I'm hoping MHJ will come out, but kinda like when Matt Leinart did it, I do understand. I wouldn't want to miss my college years when I was finally old enough to drink so I could go start a demanding career right off the bat. Not when I'm worshipped on campus and winning games constantly, as opposed to going and sitting on the Bears/Cardinals/whoever to win five or six games while Fields or Kyler struggle to get me the ball on a weekly basis.

I know it's a little different because he'll still be the new hotness as an NFL player and get plenty of attention, but college is a great time of one's life and is a lot more fun than working all week.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I want MHJ too - I think everybody in their right mind does

When you have a top 10 QB, WR, and TE success is likely to follow - if the possibility of a three piece like that presents itself I don't think you can trade it away
