nobody's telling me where to get a top QB to replace (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky.

even if were true, marginally better isn't going to cut it.

Because he's done so much last year to prove to you that he's the best QB for the team moving forward.

You need something close to a stud at the very least if you expect to win long term. They aren't on the free agent market. Your best bet is to draft and develop one.

(Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky was less than mediocre last year. Even a mediocre QB would be an upgrade at this point, let alone a "top" one.

mediocre is no help. you need very good to great. I'm all on board for finding one of those.

Nope. Sunk cost in sports context deals with cutting an underperforming veteran player with a bad contract.

Player development is an entirely different consideration. Money isn't a negative issue, in fact, it is a benefit. I don't think Mitch's performance last year was definitive. It's just that the development is in conflict with a window of opportunity created by surrounding talent.

It's actually not anywhere close to a sunk cost. Whether they cut (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky today or he is on the roster for next season he costs the exact same price. A sunk cost fallacy is spending extra money because you have already spent money. There is no decision for this year to spend even a single extra dollar on (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. Even if you think there is a 1% chance that (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky returns back to the form of his 2nd season you must keep him. Draft a rookie or sign a potential starter but (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky must be on the team for next year.

Most QB's available aren't worse than Mitch.

Teddy Two Gloves would lead the Bears at least to the NFC title game next year.

(Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is better than most free agent quarterbacks. Bridgewater is the exception but spending $25 million a year on him because of 3 good games he has played in the past 4 years may be a bigger gamble than seeing if (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky can be as good as he was in his second year.

If they can't fit in Rivers, or Brady I would probably just draft a qb in the second round and let him sit behind (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky for a year.

I have said previously I am not opposed to them drafting another QB. I would not necessarily anoint Mitch the starter though. From MANY reports, he had a terrible camp last year. If a rookie has an impressive/better camp than Mitch does, he should be the #1 heading into the season.

Regardless, the offense needs to play more than three snaps in the preseason next year. Injury risk aside, it cannot hurt to have them run plays for real against another team.

He hasn't earned going into camp without competition. I'm not sure I would draft a quarterback in the 2nd round but I'm definitely using the 4th on a quarterback.

It's rare for any rookie quarterback to be ready to start and be really good. If you draft a quarterback to be the backup the likeliest scenario is that (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is at least the starter for the beginning of the season.

If anything, it takes some of the pressure off the rookie qb.

Exactly. If there is zero real competition and a guy like Daniel is the #2 heading into camp, this organization is FUBAR.

Murray and Minishew looked a hell of a lot better than Mitch.

I know it is rare, but if the Bears are really being honest in self scouting, and they can say, "Hey this rookie does these two things just as good as Mitch, and these two things a little better than Mitch," why would they not start him from day one?

_________________

Murray was #1 overall though. I'm not penciling in a 6th round pick as a starter in game 1 of next year.

Ideally, you would give any rookie qb time to sit and get acclimated to the NFL. Some quarterbacks are so good from the beginning that it doesn't matter but I think there is value in not starting your first game as a rookie.

312 is definitely meatball enough to have the mustache in the pro column.

Da Coatch, Coatch Q, and Minchew all have mustaches. Gotta get a guy with a mustache to win!

the best they can do is draft a lottery ticket late

There must be legitimate veteran competition for Mitch this year

Maybe Sam Ehlinger can eventually be a QB. I was touting Kelly Bryant. Get these guys very late or undrafted

Pick up that other quarterback the Bengals had. I can't remember his name but several teams were trying to acquire him a couple of years ago. I believe he's a free agent.

If the right guys falls to them in the second round you definitely do it. I think that is unlikely though.
