Mitchell Trubisky is the best play

[CatalystNX]

Jesus, just sign Marcus Mariota and get it over with. No draft picks given up and a reasonable (presumably) contract for a veteran game manager with some athleticism.

Yep. Troll detected. Probs NCST, UK, duke fan with nothing better to do.

If we do this, I expect next off-season we have basically the same thread template, just change the name to Daniel Jones

I am trying to have an honest conversation.

I'm not letting my college Fandom blind me to reality. You, Corners and the rest of the Chapel Hill Chalkies can't stop spamming the board about Mitchell and Sammy as the second coming of John the Baptist and Jesus respectively.

There are plenty of Duke and NC State fans on this board.. Find me all the threads about signing Mike Glennon, Jacoby Brissett or Daniel Jones this offseason... all local school QBs with as much or more success in the league as ya boi.

Mitch Trubisky is Sam Darnold with better hair and a dumber name. And less balls.

We weren't the only qb needy team last year. He could've gone to Washington and battled against Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke. NO, IND, DET... there were options if he wanted to see the field.

When Cam got cut, he bet on himself and waited for an opportunity to compete.

Mitch could never...

[Borat]

I think this is the right play. Too much execution risk on Watson.

He's not coming here. He's already endured a dumpster fire in Chicago under Nagy. That's why he jumped on the opportunity to go to Buffalo as a clear backup without shopping for a potential situation to compete for a starting job. He was looking for a reset in a stable situation. He's not going to jump right back into a dumpster fire. I honestly think he'd resign in Buffalo as the backup before he'd come here to compete for the starting job. He knows he almost certainly only has one more opportunity to legit compete for a starting job. He's not going to waste that on a situation like ours where failure is virtually guaranteed.

Sorry, that's just the sad reality.

We'll see if that strategy worked out in the long run for Jameis this offseason.  Although it made much more sense with Jameis since Brees was old and on the verge of retirement so there was actual opportunity for him.  Trubisky has zero shot unless Josh Allen is injured.  Not sure how much it improves your stock to warm the bench for two seasons with virtually zero meaningful snaps.

I mean I graduated from UNC and I think it sounds a bit like mental gymnastics to suggest that Trubisky is actually a genius strategist by foregoing a starting opportunity to instead hold a clipboard on the bench for 1-2 seasons because you aren't being handed your ideal situation.  You're just as likely to drift into obscurity essentially taking 1-2 gap years as you are of getting another starting opportunity down the line.  If I'm a QB who is confident in my own ability, I'm not taking that opportunity for granted by simply hoping something better comes along in the future.

As the great philosopher and orator Marshall Bruce Mathers III once said, "You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow.  This opportunity comes once in a lifetime".

It must suck having to defend Mitchell this hard... imagine Trubisky being the best QB your football program has produced in almost 100 years

Quick, name the 5 best NC State qbs ever. Then name any 5 UNC qbs.

We're talking about the NFL. Some of y'all can't get past where folks go to college. That's a you problem.

You and 4 corners are the ones on here all the time pimping UNC jags like Howell and Trubisky.

I've talked about plenty of QBs. Y'all just get hung up on the ones you want to get hung up on. Again, a you problem.

Perhaps, but a long look in the mirror would do you some good. I have no idea why you even want to moderate this board, you aren’t even a fan of the team anymore, if you ever were.

Find where I've said it would be a good idea for us to pursue Mitch Trubisky this off-season. You're just triggered because of where a guy went to school and now you're lashing out at me because... ???
