Death, taxes and the Bears are unable to find a franchise QB... the three constants of life. 

I mean, when your best QB since WWII is Jim McMahon, you gots problems. 

And I'd like to disagree but I can't. They've had the worst run on QBs since.....

Thought I'd see a sterner defense of Trubs from his #1 backer...

Maybe drafting a QB #2 overall with what... 15 college starts... isn't a sound idea. 

You mean, Kyler Murray?

But I didn’t care for Mahomes either 

I did not think much about Mahomes either until my nephew took me to see him beat the Broncos at Mile High in 2018. After that winning a Superbowl was not a real surprise. I still remember this one pass that was like a rocket going past the receiver and defender, hit the ground and continued on another 30 yards past the original 30-40 yds. Never seen an arm like that before. And even though that is thinner air, it was still damned impressive.

I got the Christian Ponder/Blaine Gabbert vibe with Trubisky.

A gamble that could have gone either way. Helps to have talent around him.

Sure... but the list of QBs taken that high, with that little college experience, who are forced to start from the get-go is most likely a short one.

For good reason.

#2 Bears select QB UNC--Mitch Trubisky

49'ers=== Soloman Thomas//S-Tedric Thompson//WR-Dante Pettis//S/PR-DJ Reed//LB-Reuben Foster & Fred Warner (S Tedric Thompson replaced Earl Thomas & now a Seahawk. R. Foster is now out also..but more picks for Lynch)

Saints-- RB--Alvin Kamara (9'ers traded the 2018 3rd, drafted Fred Warner later & gained more draft ammo )

The 9'ers received a 2017 3rd & 4th..And a 2018 3rd round pick at Philly draft.. But added deals with the picks from Saints & Redskins & Hawks that made the 9'ers and John Lynch a very happy GM...
