5. I don't follow the Bears close enough to a have an opinion of their O-line; what's their deal?

Good enough or no, in your opinion?

I don't know how you can even evaluate a rookie QB, or get good play out of them, when their line is crap. Nobody's ever gonna ask me to run an NFL team, but I'd make sure I had a good OL before trading up to draft a QB.

But if their OL is solid, then maybe it's okay. Next year's QB class, according to some punditry, is looking to not be as deep at the high end, and Dalton certainly isn't a long term solution -- so taking the shot now could make sense in that way.

Sure the Bears' QB track record is against him, but it always will be... until it ceases to be. That can't last forever, right? Maybe the time is now.

The Bears OL problem is often the line is not great or its injury prone rpannier Apr 2021 #6
