It will be easier to replace Massie, but give the kid a shot at LT. That's the thing. It doesn't necessarily mean cutting Leno, or spending a ton of money on Trent Williams, or something. Although if they trade Floyd that opens up some avenues... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose politics or whatever plays a role (it will), can Pace justify drafting an OT in round 2 to be our swing tackle? Gives me concern that we'll see those two dudes playing prominent roles on the OL next season. Leno, Jesus. Dude needs to get stronger in his base but I just don't know if I see that happening. Tremendous liability. The Cam Robinson approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBHalas Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'm going to throw out something crazy. We're pining for Bridgewater, and hoping for someone's castoff for a Taneyhill like resurrection. The connection here is Bridgewater in Minnesota was almost ran out of town like Mitch, and Taneyhill was an inexperienced college quarterback that was released from Miami. There could be an argument of these teams gave up on these guys too quickly. Even San Diego gave up on Brees too quickly when they drafted Rivers. What if we are giving up too quickly on Trubisky? I'm not saying he doesn't need competition but let's see how Trubisky plays at the start of next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Pace just said Trubisky's the guy in 2020. Everyone's getting fired a year from today and it's going to be spectacular. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries played a part in all those other QBs fates--but yeah, San Diego did one of the dumbest things in football history by getting rid of Brees. I'd imagine Trubisky is at least given a shot next year, but there will be some sort of competition, even if it's weighed in one direction or another. But I don't think Trubisky has shown close to the potential Brees did as a Charger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 I think what Pace announced today was that we will not be looking for a big name QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater was under gun with a make it or break it year when he torn his knee to shreds. Granted Taneyhill was injured alot but that just prolonged Miami making a decision on him. Either way these guys got another chance to prove themselves and I'm saying that maybe, just maybe Trubisky might need more time like these guys to produce.

Yeah the common thread is "somewhere else" I have had the feeling this year that Trubes might get good eventually on a different team. Someplace with an easier system and and a better OL, or after sitting for a while. Could totally see him be a backup turned starter in a couple years like Foles. I don't think he's ever going to be consistently good here, too much pressure, too little upstairs and a system that asks too much of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a pipedream anyway. I'd be shocked if Chase Daniel comes back, and expect someone with more ability but less system knowledge to be our other QB next year, plus a late draft pick.

Yeah, Pace made it a point to say Daniel and Bray are both UFA's. I would assume they bring in a veteran- Keenum, Hundley, McCarron, etc- and use a 4, 5 or 6 on one.

I think he means more "We" (the current front office and coaching staff) won't. The next GM and head coach will be selling the farm for Trevor Lawrence.

Gives us another like 5th rounder, and sends the message straight on. Biscuit still got us 8 wins, and the Lawrence competition is gonna be nuts with how much hype he already has.

The only issue with that is I don't think Nagy or Pace would have a chance of surviving the season if they were starting Bray. They are still "playing" for their jobs. Trubisky at least gives them a shot to win as we saw 2018 season play out. With Bray we might have shootings inside Soldier Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
