Rozner: Another Sunday for Bears fans not yet feeling Super

Welcome to Super Bowl week.

Also known as the week Bears fans suffer through the 2017 NFL Draft.

Again.

It's not like you need any special reminders. You get those each week of the NFL season as Mitch Trubisky plays like Mitch Trubisky, and Patrick Mahomes plays like Patrick Mahomes.

But in what's quickly becoming an annual exercise, Mahomes has led his team to another Super Bowl while the Bears have completed yet another season without a winning record, producing only one in the last eight years.

This is a spectacular level of futility and particularly maddening when you consider that the Bears and GM Ryan Pace were tricked into giving away three draft picks to move up one spot to get a quarterback that no one else wanted that high, and much more infuriating when you watch Mahomes and Deshaun Watson play football.

So yeah, another Super Bowl week and you the Bears fan do what you always do, which is watch a pair of teams from other cities.

No wonder alcohol sales spike this time of year in Chicago.

This week has the special significance of another Mahomes appearance in the biggest game of the year, and making matters more interesting is that Watson wants out of Houston. The Texans are reportedly letting teams know the price, having seen the market for Matt Stafford.

If Watson can force a trade out of Texas, it's going to cost more than what the Rams paid to get Stafford, which was two firsts, a third and Jared Goff. The Bears are rumored to have at least spoken to the Lions about Stafford, which makes sense.

The Bears need a quarterback and their once-vaunted defense is getting older by the day. With cap issues on top of all their other organizational problems, you have to think they are nearing the end with this group.

But could they possibly make a run at Watson? Does Pace think this would save his job? Do the Bears have enough assets to make it happen?

The answer to the latter is they do have enough, as Houston would want at least three firsts and probably a couple players along with those selections, and given the Bears' cap problems they will need to move some salary in order to make it all work in 2021.

If you're not too ill to laugh, then a good laugh is what's required here as Pace continues to try to make up for one of the worst moves in franchise history, moving up in the draft to select the wrong player, a player with 13 college starts.

One of those he should have taken - Watson - is now very much on his radar as Pace tries to survive in Chicago. The delicious irony of Pace having to admit that colossal mistake while looking at Watson is what's so funny about this, and why you could conceivably take this opportunity to laugh instead of cry.

You've shed enough tears over the 2017 draft.

The sheer number of times Pace told you he was right and you were wrong about Trubisky is far too many to count. The number of times he got one of his local or national cheerleaders to pump up Trubisky in a quid pro quo is at least a little gross. The number of times you believed any of the hype is rather small.

And now the ultimate admission would be walking away from his pet project, only to deal for a player he could have had without moving up or giving up a single pick in the draft.

The incompetence is truly staggering.

Of course, it's all speculation. Houston doesn't have to deal Watson even if he demands a trade or says that he'll never play for the Texans again, but there will be no shortage of suitors if Houston decides to pull the trigger.

It feels inevitable.

In the meantime, you can dream about the Bears acquiring a real NFL quarterback, and you get to watch another Super Bowl with Mahomes and without the Bears.

You could say it never gets old, but that wouldn't be close to the truth.
