TC in St. Louis Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I love it. Mitch won 29 games with the Bears. He's got talent. He's started 50 games. He's our backup. Josh ain't going anywhere. I wish the tight end talk would end. We scored 500 points without featuring a tight end. Knox has "traits." He's gonna be just fine. They may take a guy in the draft. We're better than we were. Can't wait till draft day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 2.5 million is peanuts. I can't believe more teams that actually have questions at starting QB weren't in on this guy to compete...Cheaters, Texans, Redskins, Panthers, Fish.....to name some.

Rochesterfan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 39 minutes ago, Saint Doug said: Not sure how he’s gonna swing this coming year into a long-term contract somewhere else. He likely won’t be playing at all. You would think he would’ve picked a place where he could actually compete for a starting job. This time next year, I’m unsure if his value is any higher than it is right now. At least they’ll be more money for a boneheaded GM to throw at him. Maybe in a real situation like Buffalo - he can learn how to become a better QB and that makes him better long term. I am sure he could have gone out to a crap team like the Jets and competed to be a starter, but if he fails there or struggles - he is done. Many players (and coaches for that matter) would be significantly better taking a year to get your head right and learn from someone that works and then going out and trying it again. He might not play at all or maybe just some preseason or mop up duty, but if he learns the hows and whys of route combos and what to expect in certain situations- maybe he becomes a better QB and a better person in the long run. Many times a step back ends up helping out long term to refocus and reset your priorities. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a concern of mine as well, as I believe we have been lucky and biding our time before Josh gets dinged. This is a huge relief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyBillsFan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Having watched a lot of Bears games, he looked better to me than most pundits made him out to be. Just hope we are not paying him too much - around 7 million per season would be my guess. EDIT - 2.5?? Beane is a thief!!

babulator Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Great signing! A few thoughts: Steal at that price Barkley wont get signed by anyone, and this should say all that it is needed to be said. Fromm to the PS? I doubt anyone is interested in his noodle arm. The Patriots re-signed Cam.... really? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 40 minutes ago, Beast said: I'm not being a homer when I say this but I would be more comfortable with our backup, Trubisky, starting than I would be with the Cheaters actual starting QB playing. In fact, with all those glitzy signing the Cheaters just had, I can't believe they didn't sign a guy like Trubisky and promise him a chance to compete for the starting spot. I think it's pride for Belichick. He wants to prove he can win with average QB play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hasn't he won too many games, had too good of a QB rating, and too much talent to be this cheap.

Jamie Mueller Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Jauronimo said: Signing Mitchell Trubitzky after using a high draft pick on Jake Fromm is a clear sign that every one on the team has to earn their starting role every year, week, and day. This has serious shades of Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie. I think the locker room is strong at this point but I really hope this isn't the start of another QB controversy. Lets not forget, Trubixy was the SECOND OVERALL PICK in the draft not long ago. The guy was considered a serious talent. The NFL is a what have you done for me lately league. One or two bad games from Allen, or god forbid an injury, and I think its very realistic we could have a debate about the starting QB and a locker room divided. I hope I'm wrong fellas.... What's the alternative though... sign a back-up quarterback who's no good and then pray that he never has to play an important down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
