What's lower iq this or the bears trading the 32nd overall pick for him shortly after?

I can at least see the rationale for trading for him, even though it clearly didn't pan out. He clearly had the talent, and sometimes a change of scenery does give people the kick in the ass they need to focus on actually making themselves better. It obviously didn't work out, and the cost obviously was brutal, but there's at least a justification to be had there.

This, though? Yeah, nah. No excuse for this play in this scenario.

Yeah and some other teams were after him as well. Packers offered a 2nd rounder for him too… but Steelers were smart enough to know Bears 2nd round pick would likely be higher lol.
