Because I do think Daniel is likely to play better than Trubisky has thus far, even if only because it's kind of hard not to. And I think he gives them a better shot to win this year. But I don't think you can make that move without it effectively being a give up on Trubisky. I can't remember a time a young, highly drafted QB, was benched for a journeyman vet, and was later given the starting job back and went on to be a good QB for the team that drafted him. I guess the Bucs are basically a year removed from that situation with Winston, but I doubt he goes on to succeed. So I think if you make that choice, you're basically saying you've given up on Trubisky. Which might not be the wrong move, but I doubt Chicago is ready and willing to do that. Teams are so slow to move on from QBs they invested heavily in. So I guess, I think it would be the smart move, but I'm not sure they're able to do it. Troy Aikman got hurt after the Cowboys started 7-5 in 1991. He was playing ehhh? Steve Beuerlein replaced him, and the Cowboys went 5-0, and won a playoff game. Troy could have returned when healthy, but coach Jimmy Johnson stuck with Steve. Troy obviously got healthy, amd went on to have a HOF career. Drew Brees was benched his third year for long time journeyman Doug Flutie. Brees turned his career around the very next season, but the Chargers drafted Rivers, Brees hurt his elbow in week 17 of the 2005 season, and well yeah off to The Big Easy.

I really wish people would actually watch the games instead of box score scouting. And I like Daniel because of Mizzou but he has such a defined ceiling at QB that imo would prevent the Bears from winning the Super Bowl. The Bears have the defense that they need to pick whoever gives them the best shot at winning it all and that has to be Trubisky. You just hope he gets better throughout the year and is playing his best football in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the defense they have, the Bears just need someone to play it safe, go through his progressions, and avoid completing missing the wide open receivers. They don’t need a playmaking QB with that defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think Trubisky can right now either but he can still get better. Daniel at this point is who he is going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Daniel gives them a better chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading for players mid-season cost more than they are in the off-season and there is no viable option on the market who is worth trading for. If Mitch doesn't work out then the season is lost anyhow. No reason to take unnecessary risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very bad game. 2 picks, could/should have been 3. Took some bad sacks.

The Bears defense is supposed to be this highly touted unit, yet they got chewed up on the ground. Both of Daniel's interceptions were really bad, but they looked like poor communication. His last one, it looked like he was throwing to a spot and his receiver wasn't anywhere near there. It was a horrible throw/decision, but he had to make a play since they were losing.... you know, since their defense got drove on and gave up another rushing TD just prior to that possession.

They put up 21 points. He threw two touchdowns. Chase Daniel is not a good QB, definitely not a starting quality QB in this league. The guy came in and put up some points. This is supposed to be the best defense in football and they got shredded on the ground. Daniel played as well as he could have today, most likely. The Bears defense has to hold the L. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
