I said he was not playing well at the time, which is a fact. I never made a statement that the game was over or that he will not be good in the pros. I literally said so far. Then you piled on like an ass for no reason. Watson was great in the second half. Will he be a good pro? No idea.

And you know exactly what I am saying. I think the idea of drafting any QB with a "first round grade" at three is a much more ridiculous thing to say than: this guy is currently not playing well in a game. A "first round grade" means one of the top 32 prospects in the draft. So I don't think that a prospect rated number say 25 should be taken 3 even if QB is the most important position, especially given the high burnout rate for first round quarterbacks.

Not fair at all to Vince Young, who had a better QB rating and a better YPA than Watson in their respective senior seasons. Young also was a much better runner, and not asked to throw the ball as much. Young beat what was considered the greatest college team ever at the time. And was the Big 12 of 2005-6 really that much worse than the watered down ACC of today? Come on.

Young burned out as a pro, but it does not mean that he was not great in college or that Watson will certainly be better than him.

Yeah, Florio on Mully and Hanley said add 10 to any college kid's season interception total and that's probably what he'll have in an NFL season.

Saying he wasn't playing well is fine. Saying he is "not looking like pro material" is not.

I guess if Tom Brady throws a pick this weekend I can say he "doesn't look like an NFL QB"!

I mean the +10 interceptions thing. I'm sure he said it.

Kyle Orton had 5 picks his last year at Purdue and 13 picks his first year as an NFL starter. Based on this one example I conclude it's totally legit.

It's like this, 17 picks is alot for a college QB

I'll take 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions every single year and be very happy.

I was unnecessarily "ruff" on Ruffcorn. I was antsy this morning. He's really not dumb like most posters here are.

It was a specific response to Caller Bob suggesting that if Watson plays well in the title game then the Bears should look to take him with the 3rd pick. So I was saying he was not looking like he was going to be a great pro worth the number three pick at that point in the game. So it certainly is exactly the same as saying multiple MVP Tom Brady does not belong if he throws an interception in a playoff game.

Really it was oft-handed attempt to discuss an aspect of the game as it was going on, but I can see how that comment did not get "a first round grade."

I like Watson, best QB in draft IMO but I wouldn't even consider him at 3, I wouldn't mind trading up with the second round pick and grabbing him at 26th or 27th if he's available. I think someone will reach and grab him with the 11th or 12th pick though, no problem.. Next years draft is QB heavy and I'd rather grab from that lot.

Rueben Randle, he's on the team for next year!


Rueben Randle - WR - Bears
Bears signed WR Rueben Randle to a reserve/future contract.
Reserve/future deals aren't typically handed out to former second-round picks, but Rueben was eligible after spending 2016 on the street. Randle is barely two years removed from a 938-yard campaign, but didn't even come close to making the receiver-needy Eagles' 53-man roster last summer. Randle turns 26 in May.

Well........they need receivers. That's about all I can say about Rueben Randle.
