That is the ugly part of a rebuild. There's so much to fix, it's hard to tell if you have coal or diamonds in the rough.

I think you look at every other QB in the draft the last couple years, including the can't miss of the decade, you are nuts to move on from Fields right now. I dunno, maybe it's just a terrible couple of years for QBs but the alternative is what... you end up with another project and hope he's got magic dust from day 1? There's no sure thing QB's where the Bears will be picking, and sometimes even the sure thing isn't a sure thing.

Also, everything you are saying about Fields was said about Jalen Hurts last year. As an outsider I just think that would be the stupidest thing an NFL team has done in a while. But I'm usually wrong on QB's so who knows.
