Ummmmmm it 100% is a 50-50 call on any college player making the transition to the NFL. You live in another world if you actually think anyone especially a fan would have any way to know what player will be what when he makes that next level of the NFL. Would you like to go over all the 1st round busts at every position especially QB there's been? Some people live in the world of reality and some live in the world of fantasy.

Pace’s choice of Trubisky over Watson was not liked from jump (hence Trubs booed at Bulls gm). The one who took a guess was Pace, not the fans. Taking a one year starting QB, who didn’t win any big games. Over a QB who shredded a Nick Sabin coached, stacked Bama team, for 400 yds twice. Was a dumb Russian roulette gamble by Pace & he traded up to do it. Smh

The comment below, unfortunately is not an isolated thought. In other words, he's not the only one who feels this way?

There is an educated guess tho. You see how players have career years one year and a no show the next. Take for instance Eddie Jackson. Had he been on his contract year last season he would have easily become highest paid safety in the NFL with 6 interceptions, 2 returned for TD's. This year he has zero.
It was a huge gamble by Pace to invest in a #2 overall QB position with but 1 year of college game tape.

Lets use common sense. It's 2017. I'm the Bears GM. We need a Qb in the draft. I'm looking at a 1yr. college Qb, who lost his only bowl game to a inferior "D" vs. a Qb who's had several years of college experience. He's a proven winner & leader, who went 1-1 in the NCAA championship......and actually won the championship his last year against a "pro-type" college "D".
Lets see..... this a tuff one.......... I think I'll trade UP in the draft to get the Qb with 1 year of experience who lost his only bowl game to a inferior "D".?

At the time of the bowl Stanford’s defense was ranked below 30, N.C. had a better "D". I posted info. on this back when it happened. I believe N.C. had been picked to win.
--------
Here's some game facts I posted about Mitch back in 2016.
Virginia Tech Hokies 34 - 3 North Carolina M. Trubisky13-33, 58 YDS, 2 INT ( the other 1year starting qb did not turn the ball over and threw 2 Td passes)
Duke 28-27 North Carolina M. Trubisky 24/33 297 3 INTS. 2 QBR 78.3 (this was a upset by a 4-6, 1-5 Conf freshman Qb-led Duke team. The freshman DID NOT have a T.O.)
North Carolina State 28 - North Carolina 21 Trubisky QBR 66.8 ( North Carolina was the favorite and again was upset see Duke game)
HYUNDAI SUN BOWL ( "big stage game"....sort of speak)
Stanford 25-North Carolina 23 Trubisky QBR 43.3 (3 T.O.'s by Trubisky, 2 picks 1 fumble)
This poster's opinion.....a so-called top 3 Qb in the draft should not have 2 upset loses and no bowl game win in his only season as a starter.
As for Trubisky, he has looked bad in more than just the VT game. He had just 156 yards against GA with 0 TDS. We were up by 10 and lost because he couldn’t do shit against them.
Against VT, the whole team quit which you want your star QB to be able to rally a team. VT put up 34 points in the same weather so there is no excuse for quitting.
Against Duke, he threw 2 picks in a 1 point lost and the “O” had 31 yards in the last 15 minutes.
Against NC State, he did jack shit for 3 quarters while we were down 28-7 and then scored 2 late TDs to pad his stats.
Against Stanford, he cost the team 13 points, had 3 TOS, and then had one great drive at the end.

You've had 5 years of hindsight with Pace and still don't realize he sucks despite facts that he does. Maybe sit this one out.

Well said and i can't disagree with you on this. It was taking a chance going with Trubisky but we can't live off of hindsight by forgetting that at the time all 3 of Trubs, Watson and Mahomes had questions marks going into the draft. So we can't now act like Watson and Mahomes were looked at as being the better NFL prospects by going off of what we know now.
