I dont think Mitch is Plan A, but I would bet he is higher on the pecking order than others want to admit.
I definitely think he is ahead of Foles and will be the best value available when free agency hits for us. Of course if there is a better option through trade, then you go that route, but I don't that there is as much opportunity there as there is buzz.
At the end of the day, Trubisky led offense was amassing over 300 yards, 30 points, and finding a rhythm toward the end of last season. Maybe some of it is fools gold. Maybe it wasn't against the greatest competition. But it is a decent floor option to go to rather than taking a desperation shot at the QB carousel
