Thompson will only get better with time and experience. He has an it factor that goes with his modest skill set. I don't know what he will become but I do believe he's got more juice to him than your standard backups like Heinecke, Kyle Allen, Gardner Minshew's. I think if Thompson had gotten all the reps the week of the Jets game AND Terron Armstead doesn't get hurt in the first quarter AND we Iost the RT in that game as well. Not sure if that was Austin Jackson still playing or Jones/Snell but the RT went out in that game as well. Thompson could've put a hurtin on the Jets I believe. Tua is going to make them pay for that.
Syklar has a coolness to him. He thinks he belongs.
I've never seen an it factor from Mac to tell me his modest skills will produce something significant at the pro level. His ceiling is Kirk Cousins.
I still think Justin Fields is going to be significantly better than Lawrence, Wilson and Jones.
Easiest money ever will be the over on the Bears win total for 2023 (guessing it will be around 6.5). As soon as that bet is available, I'm dumping big coin on the Bears in 2023. They are going to shut down Fields and go with Trevor Simien. If ever a team needed to not win another game, its this Bears squad that currently sits with the third pick in the draft. The Bears have twice as much cap space as the Falcons who have the second most cap space at about $60M.
