It seems there isn’t much we agree on these days, but one thing America is united on is this: The Bears blew it in 2017.

Even Bears fans wouldn’t argue that point.

Chicago, of course, could have had Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson and didn’t have to trade up to No. 2 overall to get either one of them. In fact, the Bears likely didn’t need to trade up to get Mitchell Trubisky either, but they did anyway.

Watson now has weighed in on the subject as re-dos of the 2017 draft are everywhere.

“The Bears NEVER ONCE talked to me [before the draft],” Watson wrote on Twitter on Friday night.

Ever since Pace left the saints, the bears have made terrible personnel decisions and the saints have great ones.

Coincidence, I think not

If the Bears had taken a player from any other position, this gets talked about way less. However, they took Trubisky #2, which set their shite back for years.

Watson is far more developed than Trubisky. Watson will be a franchise QB for years to come. Trubisky may not last a year

I’m guessing the Bears care since they have a human turd as a QB

So friggin true. What a dog shite university and program
I’ve said this times before they could take all their titles, everyone knows they’re tainted and no one truly respects them as a program or a university. Down the line they will be all taken away
Just a redneck university, run by inbreds, that people outside of SC can’t even find on a map!

A lot of scouts were high on Trubisky. My only problem was moving up one spot. Not sure many saw Mahomes becoming what he was. I’m not sure Watson is as good as he’s made out to be. Trubisky just didn’t pan out. The trading up one spot for it makes it dumb. Otherwise just unlucky.
