Chicago Bears: Matthew Stafford trades and future implications

Super Bowl LV is set. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs. This game is a nightmare for Chicago Bears fans because all it does is show how an impactful quarterback can change your franchise. Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time and Patrick Mahomes looks like he could be on his way to challenging that distinction. Obviously, Mahomes has a long way to go but the talent and opportunity are both there for him to succeed.

The Chicago Bears should really think about making the big quarterback trade.

Ahead of the Super Bowl this weekend, it came out that the Detroit Lions are looking to trade Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford has been their franchise quarterback for a long time. He has been pretty great for them for all of it but they are an abysmal franchise. They haven’t done much of anything to give him the proper help that he needs.

The Chicago Bears have a pretty good roster but they haven’t given it the quarterback that it needs. Mike Glennon was awful, Mitchell Trubisky was one of the worst drafts picks in the history of the sport, and Nick Foles was a terrible backup plan in 2020. If they don’t get a quarterback soon, they are going to continue wasting away and some folks are going to get fired.

As a result of all of this, the Bears and the Lions should really figure it out. Some people think they will never make an inter-division trade but if it helps both franchises get what they need they sure will. These are some trades and implications that could come out of a deal like this:
