The value for a QB is so much higher than any other position in football.
No reason to focus on another position if you don’t have a proven QB.

The bears would be foolish not to upgrade their QB.

Because we have a lame duck coach, I don’t recommend trading up.
If there is a guy at 16 that looks better than Howell, we need to draft him.

Luckily for the Howell fan club, which I'm a part of, there won't be. So we can fix the rest of the holes and see what Howell has.

Using picks and FA to fix the remaining holes, even if it turns out Howell sucks all the balls, isn't a terrible thing.

We'll likely have a whole new regime. Draft a QB in 2024 and plug him into a good football team.

With our whole organization in a weird lameduck year, it's like the perfect opportunity to try out a young QB with potential.

Disclaimer - If Snyder doesn't sell, everything we talk about until 2023 week 1 is irrelevant.
