I think Andy Reid is the best option for Kizer.

Good QB coach is probably good for every young QB.
I would argue Arians would be better for a Kizer, and Mahomes, then Reid. Reid would do better with Webb, and Watson.
Realistically Hue Jackson is a good fit for Trubisky. He has worked with a lot of bad QBs and had some success. He fits that style and Hue has shown designed movement in his style.

Love that Kizer brought his little sister on to the carpet. I don't want the Bears to pick him, but I wish him the best.

The only thing that would top this draft is if the Bears took Kizer at 36.

Well maybe they can trade up from 36 to 35 and give up the rest of their picks and then draft Kizer... you know, do it right...wab wrote:The only thing that would top this draft is if the Bears took Kizer at 36.

I spoke to execs from several teams that drafted a quarterback in this process and heard the same thing time and again as to why Kizer, the projected first-overall pick back in September when the season began, fell out of the first round entirely. The more time some teams spent with him and the more work they did on him, it gave them pause.
"The quarterback has to be clean, especially when you are taking him that high," one exec said. "He can't be a pain in the ass. It isn't just what [Notre Dame coach Brian] Kelly said about him. That's not really it. It's that he wasn't really a team leader.
"When you brought in kids from that school and you asked them about Kizer, no one ever really got excited. It wasn't like, 'He's the man! That's my guy! You ask Clemson kids about (Deshaun) Watson, and it's like, 'That's our dog! He is our leader. We'd do anything for that guy.' You talk to kids from UNC about Trubisky and it was the same thing. But with Kizer it was like, 'He's a cool guy.' That's going to be a challenging situation for him, going to Cleveland, having to be the savior."

Leading up to the 2005 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers gave an edge to eventual No. 1 pick Alex Smith thanks to his humble nature and a litany of perceived flaws in Aaron Rodgers -- cockiness, arrogance and a goofy throwing motion among them.UOK wrote:http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-i ... -for-a-qb/

"The other thing as Alex at the time was a good kid -- a very good person, a safe choice, always trying to please," former 49ers coach Mike Nolan said Tuesday morning on NFL HQ. "On the other hand, Aaron was very cocky, very confident, arrogant. So you can say, 'Why didn't you take him to begin with?' Because that's really what your best quarterbacks look like. They aren't very pleasing. They aren't very safe."

Both those plays he did nothing but stare at the receiver the whole time. Nice throws though

I really thought Hue liked Cody Kessler more. He's not even getting a real chance.

Am I the only one who thinks it's scary that going 6/18 93 yards 1 int and a 28.2 QBR is considered best they have?

But I think they are a step up over the Jets.

Maybe they'd give the Bears a couple #2's for Glennon
