Sorry, Bears fans, but Patrick Mahomes would have been great in Chicago

The argument that Bears coaches would have ruined a spectacular talent is ridiculous.

One of the questions that won’t go away, though it should, is whether Patrick Mahomes would have been a great quarterback if the Bears had taken him, and not Mitch Trubisky, with the second overall pick in the 2017 draft.

The other day, I heard one of ESPN’s many NFL analysts arguing in the negative during one of the network’s many hours devoted to what the Bears should do with Justin Fields. His assessment, shared by many, is that the Bears’ coaching staff has been so bad for so long that Mahomes wouldn’t have known what a forward pass was by the time the team was done ruining his career. We heard this same pronouncement about a hypothetical Bears-Mahomes marriage throughout Trubisky’s four years here, and it has carried on through Fields’ up-and-down career.
