Backup QB philosophy

Don't think his agent would accept that line of reasoning.

Again though, it won't exactly hurt my feelings if that offer comes from somebody else.

No other team in the NFL makes that deal.

I'm not convinced every team in the league sees Trubisky the same way we do. Heck, even the Panthers might have a higher opinion. Hard to say. There have been rumors.

Bottom Line: There's 32 teams out there and it only takes one.

There is no fuging reason for us to take him OTHER than being on a cheap one year deal. We need to be preserving our cap for players that actually have a chance to be a part of our franchise in 3-4 years.

Trubisky is closer to a bottom 15 QB than a top 15 QB. That is also dumb. Are you trying to set a Huddle record for the amount of dumb posts in one thread?

I tell ya what, we’ll let what actually happens determine who’s dumb here. If Mitch plays next year on a one year, 2-2.5 mil deal, then I’m dumb. If he plays for 5+ mil, then look in the mirror pal.

Okay, Marty. Just tell us how well that Teddy contract worked out.

You think I would have a different idea outside of this message board?

Maybe you’ll make up your mind after this thread about how much Mitch is worth. You’ve fluctuated quite a bit here.

You might have the same opinion, but would not be yelling it through gritted teeth.

Me? Na, not worked up a bit, my man. Just having fun. You’ll have to pardon me if posters who insist my take is dumb and from a dipshit don’t immediately gain my respect. Especially when the same poster can’t decide in two consecutive posts what he thinks the QB we're discussing is worth, yet is sure my take is horrible. 
 

I stand by my statement that locking Trubisky up over the next 5 years for backup QB money would be a positive for the Panthers.

Maybe learn to read, that would help.

From a pure purchasing standpoint, buying and selling, why the middle ground?

If teams see him as a good enough player for a 5 year deal, then how can his agent let them get by with only $5 million per season?

I'm talking about the Heinicke deal. No other team in the NFL gives him that deal.

Valid point and appreciate the discussion. I’m not saying we’d be able to pull it off, but with the uncertainty surrounding his landing spot next year and his clear ties to our area, I’d try to secure him for as long and as cheap as possible. His potential, even at this point in his career, is on par with QBs some want to sell the farm for to move up in the draft.

Heinicke? Probably not.

I'd say this though: In a given offseason, I might hear myself saying "wow, they got him for cheap"...or I might not.

On the flipside, the exclamation "holy sh-t, they paid that for him?'" probably gets used up to a half dozen times on an annual basis.

(pretty frequently on the first day of free agency)
