Where could he possibly go where he'd have a shot to compete to start? Washington (before they signed Fitz), Denver, New England, Carolina, Houston, probably a few others too where he would at least have a better chance of seeing the field.

He's not a big enough upgrade over Lock for DEN to consider. Belichick seems to be content with Cam as his bridge QB (plus he'll have a LOT more upside if he can get a full training camp to get in sync with the offense) and is all but guaranteed to draft a QB. CAR is stuck with Bridgewater for 2021. HOU would either get the second pick from NYJ or Tua from MIA if they trade Watson.

CAR is stuck with Bridgewater for 2021. HOU would either get the second pick from NYJ or Tua from MIA if they trade Watson. Who is Denver going to sign that is going to come in and immediately unseat Lock? I said Trubisky could be in competition somewhere, and he would definitely be in competition/serve as pressure for Lock (frankly he's probably better than Lock, but I agree that it's marginal enough to where giving Lock one more shot is probably the more worthwhile option) NE is definitely not guaranteed to draft a QB lol, they pick 15 and BB is averse to trading up. It could happen, but is far from a guarantee. I doubt Bridgewater is even on Carolina's roster next season and Houston signed Tyrod, Trubisky is would've been a similar (but higher potential) filler for that same role, and the Watson situation is far from over so I have no idea what compensation they're going to end up getting, and neither do they. Again, my point isn't even that Trubisky should be a walk-on starter for a team next year, it's just that there were multiple other spots he could've picked that would put him in a more likely situation to see the field and/or compete to be the starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the knowledge and ability but his arm is dead. Very likable guy and knew our playbook in and out but he just cant make NFL type throws anymore. He may make a roster just on his ability to learn an offense and to be able to run a team but at some point it would be cool to prolong his football career by getting into coaching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damikeeeee Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Anyone who thinks Mitch should or could compete for any starting job didn't watch him or doesn't have a single clue as to what they're talking about. This is a slight overpay and let's not even assume he's a lock to make the team. He's a camp arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about a guy with 40+ NFL starts, who completes 67% of his passes, is a 2:1 guy, wins more games than he loses and has taken his team to the playoffs 2 out of 4 years in the league. There are certainly other places he could have gone that would have given him a better chance to start. Definitely seems like a move he made to get separation and get some good coaching. Cant say as I blame him, he clearly hasnt been coached well, and the media has spent the last 4 years killing him for things that are not his fault.

He’s already better than a lot of backups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is every excuse I've read for the last 4 years. Their's a reason he sprinted to sign a contract worth less than our K. Because that's clearly the best offer he will ever get. Trubisky is terrible and I hope all the excuses for horrible play leave with him and never come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFromArgentina Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Trubisky is not that bad, but he is miles away from a finished product. He wont be a good starter anywhere, despite four years of experencie in the league. I like the move for him, is smart long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he's a camp arm, which by implication means you believe there are at least 64 QBs in the league better than him. I give you facts that show he is an average NFL starter ( somewhere around 20 or so, I would say) and you fire back with I'm making excuses. Here's some more I guess. The other 4 QBs who started games for the Bears won a combined...checks math...4 games. 4!!! Out of 15. The best of which Chase Daniel went 2-2 while throwing for 6 TDs and 4 INTs. Mitch is clearly better than 2 high level backups in Daniel and Foles and you are trying to say he doesnt belong in the league. 12 hours ago, BearFromArgentina said: Trubisky is not that bad, but he is miles away from a finished product.

I think, and I think the 2nd half performance for him last year backs it up, that he would really excel in a Shanahan style offense. Its taylor made for the things he does best, playacting, rollouts, boots. Allow him to be on the move where he seems to be most comfortable. Hes not a drop 5 steps, and let it rip when the back foot hits guy. That's why my nightmare scenario was him ending up in Minny bc he fits what they want to do so well. I thought maybe Denver might bring him in as the contingency plan for Locke, similar to Tannehill and Mariota. I will not be shocked if he gets traded before the start of the season to replace somebody's starter who suffers a catastrophic injury in camp.

How do I make this quote my signature? Around 20 😂😂😂 This is the greatest quote I've ever read on a forum in close to 20 years. Well done. You're right. I'm slightly exaggerating but not much. Compare Mitch to guys who were brought in to play. Why compare him to Chase Daniels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
