2022 veteran QB options

[Chief X_Phackter]

Back to reality:

Trubisky has a 25-13 record as a starter since 2018; his .658 win percentage is sixth-best among quarterbacks in that time span (min. 20 starts), behind only Patrick Mahomes, Drew Brees, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. This tells me the physical traits have always been there. Encouragingly, the ex-Bear appears to have spent 2021, his lone season backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo, working on his mentality and approach to playing winning football:

"Going to Buffalo really opened my eyes," Trubisky told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler last month. "After being in Chicago for four years, there was only one way I knew how to do things. [Being] in Buffalo and [having] a different way of doing things, you learn what's possible. It helped me get back to instinctual football and using my talents rather than overthinking.

"You can't be afraid to make mistakes. When guys are playing free, you can be at your best. I wanted to learn how [the Bills] helped Josh, and I saw that firsthand."

The 27-year-old signal-caller appears ready to turn the page and get another chance to become a starter in the NFL. With plenty more to offer, he should get a shot for a team that's looking for competition at the position.

I'd take anyone under center at this point over Heinecke.

Adam S. Says the Giants are most likely the landing spot for Mitch Trubisky. That’s a relief imo.

Man, when even the average girl at the dance doesn't want you.

I thought we were past rock bottom.

Jimmy G. needs the perfect team around him, he's going to cost picks, and wants a new deal. No thanks.

For the "no one wants to come here"

@AllbrightNFL
Confirms Russ wouldn't waive no trade after offers from WAS and Philly....

The Eagles have 3 first round picks this year and had more ammo than we had. Shows that Seattle wasn't trading Russ to any NFC team.

We've been such a shit show for so long, it really is hard to not take the most jaded position possible. That's Snyder's legacy. He has turned the fan base into one of the most pessimistic (justifiably so imo) fan bases in the league.

So even when things are 100% out of the teams control, lots of us just assume the team fucked up yet again.

I get it, but it is tiring when people start spewing opinions as facts or just pulling things out of their assess. And I mean mostly people on Twitter that are just making sh*t up.

Also the local media, who are supposed to analyze things, are just b*tching and moaning like fans. I almost turned off JP Findlay's podcast today because of it.

Twitter is a plague upon mankind.

I've never been a sports radio guy, but I definitely see how that would be frustrating.

I'm actually glad we lost that trade based on what the Broncos gave up. Maybe it works out for them, but they gave up a lot.

Sounds like the team made a more than fair offer and it didn't work out. Losing out on Wilson wasn't the team messing up imo. But I could see why others might feel differently about this particular situation.

Side note, I may weep for real the day that John Keim decides to step away from covering the team.

He and Nicki Jhabvala are probably the two most unbiased reporters in the area.

I think JP Findlay has been hanging out with the Junkies too much, he's starting to go the way of Grant Paulsen/Chris Russell when covering the team.

Curiously inquiring...... What was JP Findlay saying? I thought at one point in time he was a good listen. Within the past season, he has been so so.

As far as Twitter..... It can be a good place for realtime news and even interesting dialogue. But far more times than not; it's a cesspool. A place where punks turn into obnoxious bullies. People directly targeting players, coaches, and whatnot. Spewing things they'd likely never say to anyone in person. It's sad. Unfortunately, welcome to today's society.

It wasn't necessarily JP, but Mitch (who I like) said something along the lines of "we have Heinecke who could be traded" in response to Denver trading Lock. They've been building up the potential disappointment of not getting Wilson, and I get that they are fans too, but they more or less dismissed the notion that Seattle wasn't trading Wilson to an NFC team.

There are reports from credible folks that Seattle was not going to trade Russ to an NFC team. And this is reinforced by the fact that Philly was in the hunt and they have 3 first rounders this year, even two of them is a better offer than what Denver offered in terms of picks.

Any reporter that keeps banging the "Russ didn't pick us" is just looking for clicks and rile up the fan base IMO.

@Schultz_Report
#Commanders have taken a long look at Jameis Winston and continue to have interest in the former No. 1 overall pick, per a league source. I’m told not to rule out a return to the #Saints either for Winston, who’s progressing off a torn ACL.

I'd rather roll with Winston and a rookie. Hell, signing Winston wouldn't rule out Watson either.

Also, are fans really turning up their noses at some of these FA QBs, when we had Heinecke and his noodle arm?

I'm biased as fuck, but even including that, Winston is a definite upgrade over Heinicke.

Rodgers is gone, Wilson is gone, Watson really shouldn't be here, the only actual good option imo is:

Trubisky/Winston and draft a QB at 11. Or maybe trade up to get Rivera's guy or down and get more picks and a Ridder/Strong at the end of the 1st.

Waiting until our 2nd pick is basically eliminated now.
