Mitch Trubisky, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Dwayne Haskins, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson and Trey Lance were all highly drafted (top 15 selection) quarterbacks who ended up sucking.

Josh Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Tua and Justin Herbert are highly drafted quarterbacks in the same timespan who ended up being good or elite.

There is a lot of middling/serviceable in between, such as Baker, Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Fields or Trevor Lawrence.

The relatively even spread of good, okay and shitty shows to me that highly drafted quarterbacks are a crapshoot.

When I look at McCarthy, I see Alex Smith. Similar size, frame and athletic skill set. Crazy success in college. Almost identical stats. Very smart and well-liked by their teams/coaches.

He won't go #1, but he really would be the perfect fit in Chicago. He's from Illinois. A ton of Bears fans are also UM alumni. It's very similar to Burrow going to the Bengals. Fans love that stuff..
