I wonder how many of these rumors are started by agents trying to stir the pot.

A lot of them.

Remember, the Texans moved quickly on Nick Caserio because his agent told Cal McNair we were on the verge of throwing the bank at him.

It was bullsh-t, but all that mattered was McNair believed it.

Trubisky is waaaaay better and higher potential than Teddy ever was but I wouldn’t want those contracts combined. If we can’t score a QB in the draft or trade for Watson and can unload Teddy’s contract somehow, I’d be good with Trubisky on a 1 or 2 year deal. Wouldn’t want to trade more than a 5th or later, if trading is necessary

Really? Trubisky started half the games and still got more TDs. His completion % was just behind with lesser weapons but he had a higher QB rating. Trubisky was pulled for playing as well as Bridgewater and he didn’t have Moore, Anderson and Samuel.

I’ll take the younger and cheaper option and see if he improves with my staff over a guy who with solid weapons still underperformed. Trubisky isn’t commanding Teddy $$$ and could be picked up after release.

I’d rather have the rookie we like be there at 8, but Trubisky has already exceeded Teddy’s ceiling and that’s with meh coaching and the threat of not finishing every game.

We might have a slightly better record with Mitch but we aren’t winning a gaddamn Super Bowl with him.

You know, I wasn't a fan of Trubisky's coming out of college (at all) and through the beginning of his career in Chicago, but last year I saw a guy that I think still has some room to develop, and with a change of scenery/better tutelage, he might be something more than what I thought he could be. I was very surprised at my own change of tune. I don't know what it was, but I see something untapped, and a hunger in him to be a better player.

If he's cheap, I wouldn't mind giving him an opportunity and still addressing the position in the draft. He's got a lot of raw qualities that could make for an effective player if he could put it together.

Disagree. Trubisky has been better and has a higher ceiling. I still seriously doubt that he's the answer, but he's a level above Teddy anyway you slice it.

I’ll bite. I didn’t believe Mitch should be drafted where he was. I also don’t believe he’s been given proper tools to succeed in Chicago because it seems like the higher ups in the organization don’t enjoy surrounding their QBs with legit pass catching talent. It’s been Allen Robinson and nothing of legit concern for the past couple years. 
 

When comparing Teddy and Mitch though…Mitch can get the ball in the end zone. Teddy simply doesn’t. Mitch had more passing touchdowns this year despite being benched and missing games. Give him CMC, DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson and I think he’s numbers look much better than Teddys. 
 

The issue is you’d have to get Mitch to come here on a prove it deal, while he likely would also have to know we are drafting a QB. We might be in on him but I can’t imagine this is the location he would choose to go if he was in the mood for settling on a low contract.

I don’t know about that. Trubisky flat out struggles to move the offense. He’s more athletic than Teddy, but Teddy can at least get you in scoring position, albeit he’s absolutely god awful in the red zone. I really think it’s a push given their strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn’t want either as my starting QB and honestly I might prefer Bridgewater. And that thought makes me want to vomit.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
