2020 Taking the long view

[nc0gnet0]

Khali Mack 26.2 mil
Mitch Trubisky 9,2 mil


35.4 mil

Without Mack, is the Bears Defense still a top ten defense?
Assuming Mitch doesn't "take the next step" at what point do you move on?
Is Trading Mack do get a decent QB something to consider?

Youre a Lions fan. A "long view" for you is closer to 50 years....

I think OP is right. We traded for Mack because we thought Mitch was the guy we could content for a super bowl with. He’s definitely trending towards not being the guy and we need to start thinking of his replacement

And your an idiot, so trying to have a real discussion is impossible with you.

The thing is, if he is "not the guy" as many on here are coming to that conclusion, what are the options?

Hope you can draft a second rnd QB and groom him while your window is still open?
sign/trade for an established vet? Do the Bears have the cap room?

Garbage thread

Trading Mack is going backwards

Mitch not paning out isn’t a situation to just make wholesale changes. The team is generally young and flooded with talent.

My move would be a retread qb next season and draft one the season after when we have a first rounder again.

Well hypothetically trading Mack would land you probably 2 first round picks. Even if you don’t want to trade Mack we could give up our 2 seconds to move into hopefully 10-20

And squander away 2 -3 years of an elite defense?

These kinda posts humor me.

Chances are slim you'll find a qb worth a damn in a trade. As far as retreads....Mitch is better than any of them. I'd rather have him than an osweiler or bortles. Thats what you will find in FA.

And he is decent. He just isn't what we thought he would be. We expected a pro bowl caliber qb with the #2 pick. Looks like he won't ever be anything more than average.

He's gonna be the QB the next 3 years, I'm sure we'll draft a QB eventually to replace him.

Trubisky is a bottom 5 starting QB to every analyst out there... to everyone except a few bears fans like yourself.

lol wut.

He's not bottom 5 in any statistical category last year.

Even eye test he isnt bottom 5.

Hes like around 20.

He's just the worst QB on a superbowl caliber team.

OP needs to think things through a bit more.

If the Bears traded Mack after this year he would still leave at least $30mil dead on their cap over the next 4 years.

Not going to happen.

He might be better than brisset, Flacco. Winston, mariota. That’s about all I’m willing to give him. You can make an argument about the next 5 but not definitely - he’s definitely in the bottom 5 tier and maybe if you really want to be a homer he’s bottom 10.

You think we'd get more for Mack than we gave up 2 years before?

Your not necessarily trading him for for a QB, your trading him for draft capital, which then might be able to be used in a trade for an established Qb, or you draft one.

Probably not but we would definitely get at least 1 first round pick.

We truly have the best fanbase.

He has a bad game, not even close to the worst game a bears QB has had against the packers(Cutler had multiple worse), and he's now a bottom 5 qb.

Dude is average. Hes not horrible. We've seen enough of him to know that. He will shit the bed at times like he did Thursday. Question is if average is enough? Prob not.
