I was 3 and my memory only goes back to 1985. Otherwise I'd forget things, like who won bud bowl 8.

Okay Bears fans (Mindy/Plankton) - there's chatter going around that the Bears should use their draft pick to take a QB in the first round - what do you all think about that?

Personally, I think they should build around Fields, but I'm not a Bears fan. I think the kid deserves a real chance with weapons and protection around him.

I say keep Justin Fields and pick a good running back

Fields needs some protection with a good O line. He's got a good taste of what he's capable of, so build on that.

Ok, I'm not crazy then. These sports media pundits and even Ryan Poles dropping hints ("I'd have to be really impressed to draft a QB first round") was making me think I was.

Some bozo here suggested trading Lamar Jackson for Justin Fields (and I assume a first round draft pick). Jackson's all but done here but a trade with the Bears makes no sense for any of the parties.
