Yeah no thanks. He’s just not a franchise guy. No point.

Mitch's 5th round option was $24.837M. Im still hoping the Bears aren't dumb enough to pull a Bortles.

He played very well tonight and the INT don't change anything... Lazor did in some week what Nagy didn't in 3 years.

I have to give Mitch credit. He played well minus that last redzone INT into double coverage. I like what I’m seeing from the offense. Now time for the defense to get back to playing like they were to start the year.

Trubisky was part of the reason the Bears won the game, even though he played just ok...he came up with a few big throws.

yea...the people talking about tagging Mitch are crazy. I don't see how Mitch is back because the Bears probably are not going to pay him 8Mil while they still have Foles under contract. Mitch can find more money elsewhere if he continues to play like this. The QB FA class kinda sucks and Mitch is probably a top 3 FA QB this offseason. He will get paid by someone else.

Regardless how this year ends, we won't need to tag Mitch. We could probably get away with paying him 10-12 mil, upwards to 14/15 mil if he finishes really well on a one year deal.

Why...Because he's beat a few bad teams?
Fuck that, and fuck fools gold!

Mitchell is a career back up. I'd welcome him back in that role on a team friendly deal.

Mitch is not getting hte franchise.
If they want to keep him, and he doesn't want to bargain, they can offer him the transition tag. No team is giving him 24 million.

I keep thinking that maybe Foles can also be decent, but I remember that he put up 13 points against the same Vikings defense

Foles is not good. Bears fans should have figured that out after watching that playoff game parkey lost for us.

The people not wanting to see how Mitch plays next season with the Bears are the ones thinking a mid round draft pick is going to come in and play lights out - probably with a similar O line. It's a lovely thought, but it's also completely pie in the sky.
If you can get Trubisky on a reasonably cheap deal it would actually make more sense to give him a multiple year contract - accept that Foles is going to warm the bench next season and use the forthcoming draft capital to put more protection round the QB, and hopefully add a weapon or two.
Then you have the option the year after to bring in a QB to sit behind Mitch for a season and then the better of the two takes the team forward. If Mitch sucks, you have a high pick, if he continues to develop, then maybe you have your QB already in house.
I'd also extend A Rob now, so that's one less piece to look for in the draft

But he's almost certainly here next season - and who knows, maybe he's a good mentor, and not the worst to step in if the No1 goes down - is he much worse than the majority of back ups in the league??
