Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about which quarterback they'd rather see in the AFC Championship game: the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes or the Texans' Deshaun Watson? And which one would Bears general manager Ryan Pace prefer to advance after he passed on both in the 2017 NFL Draft? Would the Bears have made the playoffs if they were led by Mahomes or Watson this season? The guys then reacted to the rumor linking recently fired Giants coach Pat Shurmur to the Bears' offensive coordinator vacancy. That emerged after Chicago's interest in Kansas City quarterbacks coach Mike Kafka was recently reported as well. Who would be a better fit for the Bears? The morning crew also shared its thoughts on Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa declaring for the NFL Draft before weighing in on MLB.com listing the Cubs at No. 12 and the White Sox at No. 17 in its offseason power rankings. Are the Chicago baseball teams ranked correctly? Finally, the guys had a discussion about Bulls guard Zach LaVine being indecisive about participating in the slam dunk contest but being open to competing in the 3-point contest during All-Star weekend in Chicago in February. Is that fine? Will LaVine be playing in the All-Star Game? (1/7/20)
