Like any trade debate, it all depends on what you get in return. In my opinion, the Bears have to do whatever it takes to win up front, before they worry too much about who is the QB. Teams that win consistently protect their QB and pressure the opponent's QB.Is there any chance the Bears are considering taking offers on Fields and taking a QB at #1 or #2 overall? Does Fields throw the ball accurately enough to be a franchise QB who can win you super bowls? I know his supporting cast is non existent but I still have my doubts. Halfway through this season I think the question would have been can you get a significant return for Fields? Turning Fields into multiple first round picks and building with Stroud or Young has to be thought about doesn’t it? Not very often you find (hopefully) you find yourself with a top 2 pick. Would take some serious guts from Poles, but he has shown he’s not afraid to make the tough decisions. This would be a whole different animal than moving on from Mack and Smith but I can see it.
Bears are 29th in sacks allowed, and dead last in sacks.
Chicago would be wise to look at how SF built their roster and follow suit. They are kicking people's butts regardless of who is taking the snaps, because they consistently control the line of scrimmage.
