Week 3: Bears at Washington - MNF on ESPN (7:15pm)

[jersey cubs fan]

The Bears have played two of the most boring games in history to start the season, and are somehow 4 point favorites on the road in primetime.

 

 

Nobody likes Mitch but there's nobody else for the job right now. Yippee!

Kaep's agent apparently reached out to 3 teams. That would instantly make this team mor interesting!

 

Or they can trade for Eli Manning!

Have less than 0% interest in trading for Eli, but just for curiosity's sake: what would a trade for Eli look like? Backup QB plus a 6th rd pick? If Mitch looks like sht the next few weeks, would anyone be in favor of such a deal?

I would love to see Eli attempt to run an RPO heavy offense for entertainment purposes only.

Eli Manning is the epitome of Mitch Trubisky through there first 3 years. Why would trading for him at the end of his career make any damn sense to anyone?

There is SO MUCH to unpack here.

sorry

[Sammy Sofa]

Trust me, the spelling is the very least of it.

[minnesotacubsfan]

go back to DePere Mr Starr

You're a real, "the glass is half-full/pee is stored in the balls"-kind of fella, and it's great.

the first half of that is correct, the second must be something from your childhood. I'm sorry, I wish you nothing but the best.

I don't know what this means considering how incredibly different these two QBs are, but my god it will be a miracle if Mitchell somehow gets to 24 touchdowns this year.

it was meant to mean that Eli was hugely disappointing his first 3 years in the fact that he was just...mediocre. Now, Eli won a couple of Super Bowls-some would even say despite the fact his team was quarterbacked by Eli Manning. He does have that above Mitchell. But in the end, my only real point is if you think Eli is somehow an improvement over Trubisky at this stage of Mannings career, you're nuts. Or stupid. Or perhaps, full of gumbers pee balls.

Isn't he making $22m this year? I would imagine the return would depend on how much of that contract you are willing to take on.

Eli was actually the one example I was able to find when I went looking for recent QBs who got significantly better after year 3 (this was right after week 1). Everyone else was basically who they were by year 3, if not year 2.

again, I realize the way they play is completely different, it isn't without precedent to think the team could win with Trubisky and his current career trajectory. Like, maybe it would just click for him. IDK, its the only hope I have at this point

[WrigleyField 22]

Pessimist. Almost every QB in recent memory was who they were by year 2, so Trubisky isn't improving.

 

Optimist. By many passing metrics Mitch was basically a dead average QB in year 2 and added some additional value via his legs. This two game stretch is basically no worse than any average QB is bound to experience throughout a career. And early to say with certainty, but these were probably 2 good Ds overall.

 

Pessimist. A average QB with Mitch's weaknesses nead some pretty specific gameplans to maximize him and Nagy has shown some really worrisome tendencies through 19 games in that regard.

 

Optimist. They're still 13-6 in that run and it's not unrealistic to expect improvements from play callers*

alex smith

Was still hoping for more, but yea, forgot about him.

[David]

i'd more than happily take late career alex smith...just hopefully doesn't take him nearly as long to get there.

 

and without the insane leg injury.

Alex Smith-lite might be about the best case, with everything we know about Mitch.

[jersey cubs fan]

Was Alex Smith a mimbo? Because Mitch is a mimbo.

Alex Smith is a Bremerlow, so your comparison shortsighted

[Derwood]

Browns v. Jets followed by Bears v. Redskins

 

MNF is really picking them this year
