who knows... but the bears would be 7-4 if they stuck wiff mike..
What would the Bears record be if they did the obvious thing and traded for Cousins?

The Bears would be 7-4 if the WRs & RBs caught passes that hit them in the hands. Neither Glennon nor Mitch have been the problem.

He's a FA after this season, and he's very likely going to get paid a little more than 434,000 with a very small sample size.

sorry, you're an idiot!
Lynch did not fleece anyone. Not Pace, nor Belichick. You are so fucking clueless on the pace/Lynch deal and what was going on that it's not worth my time to explain to you. You are football dumb! Belichick usually fleeces the people he trades with, may not seem so now, but just wait. I think we just found out that Jimmy is a system QB and not as good as most of this board would like to think.,

Honestly think the trade has zero implication as to how good or bad Jimmy is. This was simply a smart business decision by Bill.
They held on to him throughout the offseason and draft, despite some decent offers. Why? Because Brady isn't exactly young. If Brady goes down, they were fully set at QB with Jimmy.
As the season wore on, Brady looked fine, and wasn't running into any issues with nagging injuries. Meanwhile, at the end of the year, Jimmy walks away and they get nothing. Solution? Sell him for essentially the same offers that were coming in pre-draft. Walk away with a 2nd round pick, and have had the backup they believed in for most of the year just in case.
Even if Jimmy is a superstar, this was a good play for Bill. He had little leverage at that point for the trade, as the teams needing Jimmy didn't have the win now desperation. Teams knew he was a free agent the moment the season ended. He basically sold the rights to negotiate early or franchise tag Jimmy for a 2nd round pick. That's impressive, even if Jimmy becomes one of the best ever.

I think the more interesting question is:
How many people here would trade Trubs (on his rookie salary) straight up for Cousins (knowing they will have to pay him a monster contract in 2018 and beyond. It's an interesting question..........

Nope.
Especially with Cousins' shit stats against above average D's
Read an article his passer rating is above 100 against poor Defenses and is in the low 70's against D's that are ranked above 15

Then how is his overall passer rating 100 since becoming the full time starter?

Here's a stat for ya, he's 24-27-1 all-time. It's pretty clear he doesn't have the "it" factor. A move like you're suggesting would doom this franchise. It'd be like Cutler 2.0 but with better stats.

He's played a lot of shit defenses.
To his credit though, he played very well against the Saints a couple of weeks ago, probably his best game as a pro.

Long story short, Trubisky is a bust unless he turns out to be a better QB than Cousins, that seems to be the general consensus on here.

Not really "turns out", more like "if he's not better than Cousins by Sunday"

Hell if he isn't at least as good as Wentz, he'll probably be a bust

I'd rather have Mitch because he is still growing and frankly the shit show at WR and coaching is setting this team back right now.
It hurts whomever is behind center.
A major overhaul with something like what Windy suggested with Watkins and Kirk added to Meredith & Inman would only be part of the solution.
The play-calling is average at best. And not innovative at all. A well-oiled machine of pick plays and option plays is sorely needed. If they are in the play book then they need to stop retarding the selection and give Mitch the whole enchilada to see what he can actually digest.
And I am calling out Zach Azzanni for not getting his WRs up to par.
