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.

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.

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)

      XL about to turn the corner

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
