“No, I'm not buying Mitchell Trubisky," Lombardi said. "You couldn’t get me to buy Mitchell Trubisky if you had him on a discount rack at Filene’s Basement. There’s no chance. There’s no chance. He can’t throw the ball inbounds half the time. I mean, it’s a joke. I was in Chicago this week and all I saw was Trubisky jerseys and I'm thinking you people are crazy. You’re going to be selling them in three years. There’s no way."
Lombardi did provide a little praise for Trubisky before going back to scorching the earth.
"Look, he's a good athlete, he runs around, he can make some plays with his feet, but when he has to make precise throws..." Lombardi said. "Brett Favre said this one time and I think it really applies. Bad quarterbacks can throw the ball through a door, good quarterbacks can hit the door knob, the great ones throw it through the key hole. You think Trubisky can throw the ball through a key hole with that precision? There's no chance, right? I just don't see it."
