My case for Trubisky to the Colts

[Alphadawg7]

Let me be clear from the start, I have no evidence of any Trubisky interest by the Colts, this is just something I am personally speculating on as I think it makes a lot of sense personally for both the Colts and Trubisky.  Admittedly, I hope it does NOT happen, as I don't want to see the Colts get better lmao.  

 

Why it makes sense to me:  Trubisky isn't going to draw a lot of interest from rebuilding teams IMO unless its on a cheap deal to hold a seat warm for a rookie because those teams are likely turning to the draft for a QB.  There is also still Watson and of course possibly Rodgers that could be available too, not to mention the speculation that Wilson could be someone to keep an eye on.  With the Colts run game, they don't need to try and pursue cap choking big ticket QB's like those guys.  

 

Someone like Trubisky, who was able to get the Bears into the playoffs twice despite little offensive talent around him, a bad OL, and a terrible Coach and front office could come into Indy and help right the ship immediately.  And, it wouldn't likely need to be a big financial or cap risk either as the market for Trubisky isn't going to be expensive giving them flexibility to go in another direction quickly if its not working out.  

 

The case against Carson Wentz is pretty clear
 

Eagles:  

1.  Gets hurt, Eagles go on a run with Foles and win the SB.
2.  Eagles last year with Wentz…no playoffs.  This year without him…in the playoffs.

 

Colts:  

1.  Made playoffs without him last year.  
2. This year with him (and an 1800 rusher and MVP candidate in Taylor)…miss playoffs. 
 

And in a must win game to make the playoffs, his QBR was a pitiful (and Nathan Peterman like) 4.4 lmao...yes 4.4 out of 100.  Reich also apparently declined to commit to Wentz a day after the loss too.  Which is telling given they had history before this season that led to him wanting Wentz there in the first place. 

So what do you guys think...created poll asking if you thought Wentz would be the starter next year or not, and what you think the chances Trubisky ends up there to either start or at least compete with Wentz to start.

I think Daboll and Trubisky in Denver

[BuffaloBill]

I hate the situation for Frank Reich …. As his team would be scary with an above average QB.

 

The suggested scenario is highly likely as Wentz is as good as gone. 

[aristocrat]

If I was his agent I'd certainly be making the phone calls. Great O line, rb and a solid d and plenty of cap space. Get us that comp pick baby.

I could see Trubisky and Daboll pairing up somewhere.  But the Broncos I think are going to first go after one of the potential big name guys that could be available like Rodgers, Wilson, or maybe Watson if his legal stuff gets cleared up like it seems like it could.  

 

I think Daboll is more likely to land in Miami though, assuming Daboll believes in Tua as a legit guy who could become a franchise QB.  And if he does go to Miami, Trubisky likely doesn't follow for that reason.

This is a good topic and a good poll, @Alphadawg7.

Colts = QB purgatory

Welp, guess that seals this threads fate to be no more than 1 to 3 pages max hahaha.  Threads are only active and long around here when they are full of nonsense and are off the rails.  Hahaha

I voted it's possible, not likely.

 

Though it seems like a good fit. 

 

I'd like to see MT resume his career in a quality situation.

[NewEra]

Wentz is a good QB.  He’s def not lower tier.  I learned that here!

I don't see it that way. This owner is hands off and the GM, HC are both really good now. 

 

The problem with Luck was that he was so beaten up by the time Reich got there he just wanted out. Darn shame too as they probably would have won a SB or two.

 

The Colts get a top QB and look out AFC. JMO

 

 

[FireChans]

I mean Trubisky is basically Carson Wentz. Not good enough.

 

They may bring him in because they have no other moves. Maybe pray someone plummets down in the draft.

As Bills fans, we all know how easy it was to find a good QB. We did it in no time flat.

The Daboll/Mitch pairing is interesting. It seems like there are a lot of similarities between Mitch and Josh, just from a physical standpoint. Given what Daboll did with Allen, it seems to make sense. But that is the only real connection we have. If I am Mitch I would love to follow BD, but BD could have other plans. If he lands in Miami, there is probably no way MT follows. 

 

Carson Wentz was terrible this year. Everything MT did in Chicago was better than the QB play in Indy. If I am Reich I am scrambling this offseason for an upgrade. Hell, Heinicke would be a major upgrade. Indy needs to do something. I would imagine Heinicke, Fitz, and Trubiski are on a list for serious discussion. Maybe a tier two list of Mariota and Bortles? But they cannot go forward the way they are.

It would be a mistake to underestimate the nonsense we are capable of!!!

Totally agree. I would love to see MT make a successful go of it, but Indy with average QB play is incredibly dangerous.

Yeah, I mean to be fair, Mitch is no lock to rebound if he was to go there, but he did get a lesser team with a terrible coaching staff and terrible FO to the playoffs twice.  There is reason for optimism to put him into a better situation and see if he is ready to take a next step.  

 

And Mitch is still young but was in a poor environment to develop properly in Chicago.  He has now spent a year with a very respected coaching staff that did wonders with a raw kid in Allen, so I think the potential is there, where as with Wentz, his best days seem to be behind him.  

[HomeskillitMoorman]

The Daboll/Trubisky pairing thing here is so strange to me. Trubisky is not a good QB. Maybe a half-decent backup, we don’t really know, but why would anyone want to go with him as a starter as a new head coach of a team?

lets actually analyze things…

 

their loses were close loses where they LD or tied in late 3rd or later.  Thrir supposed stroller defense didn’t seem to stop the opposing team when it was needed to try and win the game.  
 

the biggest blown lead was to Baltimore after being up 22-3 in late 3rd.  The Kicker blew a 4thquarter attempt tThat woukd have made itatwo score game.

 

every team in the playoffs had a bad game

Right but currently they are in Qb purgatory. They are stuck in mediocrity. They’ve been doing the QB dance for how many years now … Brisett, rivers, Wentz… none bad enough to get a top pick (especially as they keep improving the roster) and none good enough to actually win anything. “Top QBs” don’t grow on trees when you pick in the middle of the draft, have a roster ready to win now  and aren’t in the mix on the established group of Rodgers, Wilson, Watson (who may not even be available anyway)

Wentz got a terrible team to the playoffs in 2019. Wentz also didn’t have the benefit of the best defense in the NFL.
 

I could see them signing Mitch and Mitch not beating out Wentz for the job. The dude was drafted 1 year after Wentz, he’s hardly close to his rookie year.
