Trubisky rumors

Yeah, I would call any of that "rumors".

Trubisky is definitely better than Teddy, but when you combine his contract with Teddy's dead money you'd essentially be paying elite QB money for Mitch Trubisky. I'll pass on that.

For the record, after we signed Teddy and the Bears signed Foles, I said we should've just tried to swing a trade for Trubisky if we were definitely moving on from Cam. Trubisky has upside. Teddy didn't. I'm genuinely curious to see what Trubisky can do away from Nagy. I'm about convinced that Nagy is another Gase. Foles looked absolutely dreadful under his tutelage too. I just don't think we're in a great situation to be the team that rolls those dice due to having to eat Teddy's contract. We rolled our dice on a bridge QB and it came up snake eyes.

There's a tweet from the NFL Rumors and Updates account that says the Steelers and Panthers are interested in Trubisky. That site I don't take seriously.

Josh Klein I take seriously.

The only way I would be onboard with rolling the dice on a Trubisky rehab effort is if we feel certain we can unload Teddy's contract via trade so that he would "only" hit us for $10M this year.

It's not exactly high on my list of "things I want to see" either.

I acknowledge it's a possibility though.

    • These kickers are getting so good
    • They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
