Cam/Trubisky trade?

[LinvilleGorge]

While we're all poo posting terrible ideas for the future...

I wouldn't be shocked if something like this went down. It seems like we're hell-bent on going the full rebuild route and that's what Rhule has done in both of his college stops. From a physical tools perspective, Trubisky has everything Joe Brady should want in a QB to bring his offense to the NFL. So should Cam, but all the tea leaves seem to point toward the Panthers moving on from Cam. There's probably gonna be a lot of talk about the Panthers moving up to #1 to get Joe Burrow but the cost would probably be astronomical and the roster has a ton of holes that would have to go unaddressed for that to happen.

Meanwhile, in Chicago Nagy's seat has to be one of the warmest in the NFL going into next season. He was supposed to bring a KC style offense to Chicago and it's an understatement to say that hasn't quite worked out. Trubisky is getting a lot of the blame for that but in the games I've watched I don't think that's necessarily a completely fair assessment. If Nagy thinks Cam is the best bet to save his job then I'm sure he'd be all for getting him. Chicago as an overall team certainly seems a lot closer to compete for a SB than the Panthers and if they think Cam can get them over that hump I could absolutely see some sort of Cam for Trubisky trade going down. If Trubisky doesn't work out for the Panthers, there's a very good chance we'll be high in next year's draft and then we can look at options like Lawrence and Fields. In terms of cap hit, we'd save close to $10M.
 

I'm a huge Cam fan and I want to stick with Cam, but if you're moving on from Cam this is a move that could potentially make sense for both parties. The Bears make a hail mary effort to capitalize on a potential SB window while the Panthers get to kick the tires on a young QB who has similar physical tools to Joe Burrow with no long-term commitment.

Flame away.

Pass on Turdbitsky.....

Is this stemming from the Burrow/Trubisky comparisons?

[Mr. Scot]

What brand of cold medicine?

Cam is staying.

Outside of that, I'd rather take another season with a hopefully growing Kyle Allen than what Trubisky could offer. At worst, we get a high draft pick with Allen or a level of sustainable mediocrity and big cap hits from Trubisky. At best we get a middling to okay QB we can win with. There's just no major upside to Mitch there.

I was thinking about this the other day

Could see a Cam for a Trubisky and the Bears 2nd or Trubisky and 2021 pick

Trust me, honestly I completely agree. If you ask me if I'd love to make this deal I'd say absolutely hell no. BUT, if you ask me if this is something I'd consider looking at if we've definitively made the decision to move on from Cam, then... well, yeah.

I honestly haven't seen any, but I can understand them.

LOL!

It makes one helluva lot more sense than Taysom Hill.

Player Comparison: Mitch Trubisky. What NFL team evaluators think is infinitely more important than my opinion on a player. Thus, I reached out to them to get their suggestions on a comparison for Burrow. One top executive said Russell Wilson for Burrow's style of play, but they acknowledged that Wilson's arm is much stronger than Burrow. As stated above, multiple sources said Burrow's skill set is in line with Andy Dalton or Derek Carr.

One director of college scouting said Ryan Tannehill was a solid comparison. They said that Burrow was a better decision-maker and fiery leader while Tannehill was a better runner and has a stronger arm.

The best comparison for Burrow might be Mitch Trubisky, as suggested by one director of college scouting. Both have good, but not elite, skill sets. In college, they showed accuracy as passers with the ability to be rhythm throwers who also had the mobility to make plays with their feet. Teams liked the intangibles on Trubisky as well, and both Burrow and Trubisky were 1-year wonders as players.

I see it as possible-and I see a second Carr as possible too.

When both are free agents.

trade players for picks.  nothing else.  

trading Cam for Mitch is no different than just letting Cam walk. 

I have never at any point in time ever understood the Mitch Trubiksky thing.
