I think its more because of where he was drafted than anything.  He was a top five pick, and to some that means a lot.  

Personally, I wouldn't mind signing him and giving him a try, as long as the contract is cheap/not long term.  But I have a feeling some qb needy team will pay him more than we should.  Which is ironic since he is leaving a qb needy team.   

I wouldn't really protest having him in the mix but he's a guy who's tendencies aren't far off from Teddy's. Nothing about expecting Trubisky to be the answer everyone is desperate for seems logical.

There's a lot of truth there.  Watson is an outstanding QB who can elevate those around him.  But he can't do it alone.  There doesn't exist a QB who can.  Cam Newton came as close as anyone I've ever seen to doing it, but ultimately he couldn't do it.

I don't think you can win a SB with TB5 / Alex Smith / etc in this day and age.  I do think you can win one with Tannehill . . . and maybe Trubisky if his career goes to the same cadence as Tannehill.  I'd rather have a guy with an NFL proven 64% completion rate, 25-13 record and 2:1 TD to INT ratio over a guy coming out of college unless that guy coming out was Andrew Luck / Trevor Lawrence / Peyton Manning level.

Yep. QB is a HUGE piece of the puzzle and by far the biggest piece, but ultimately if you have enough big holes on your roster even the best of QBs won't be able to hide them all. Just look at Mahomes in this year's SB for the latest example.

There is an awful lot of stupid in this thread so it is nice to see some reason.

Trubisky is basically in the "only a little better than Teddy" category.

That said, he needs to come cheaply. Anything that isn't cheap or is more than 2 years is just repeating the mistakes of last offseason. Sign him to a reasonable backup QB contract, as that is what he actually is.

I could get behind this type of deal. Worst case scenario, he's an improvement over TB. best case scenario, he balls out and we extend him after 2022. FWIW, cutting TB post June 1 saves us $8M, so it's basically an even swap.

I would not want to pay him $8.3 mil. At that rate, let him go elsewhere. I was thinking more in the $4-5 mil range.

You said win with any roster. The Texans won fewer games than we did.

I didn’t feel like this needed clarification but apparently it does.

Tennessee has a really good roster. They have the best RB in the NFL, a top 10 receiver, a franchise LT just on offense. 
 
Byard and Jackson are two of the best in the league at their positions. 
 

A Tannehill/Trubisky QB is taking that team to the playoffs and that’s it in a good year. Hardly ever advancing and certainly never a serious SB contender. 

Deshaun Watson is taking that team at least to the AFCCG and probably with DH..to the Super Bowl. 
 

So can we not turn this into “there is more to a team than the QB” nonsense?

You aren't making any sense.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
