I read it finally, the recap article(since its an article of an article) says that trubisky would wind up the biggest draft bust in franchise history.
Which still isn't true. Without looking it up I can name a ton worse than him, sadly.
I suppose it depends on how you determine biggest bust in franchise history. It certainly is in the conversation for the following reasons.
1. He was taken 2nd overall.
2. We traded up to get him.
3. Pace had a 66% chance of getting it right between Trubs, Watson and Mahommes.
4. He passed on a potential GOAT QB and another one that may be embarking on a HoF career.
5. I have no doubt we would have won the SB one of the last 2 years and would be a perennial contender if we had taken Mahomes.
The Trubs mistake likely cost us multiple SB titles. That is not hyperbole. So sure maybe there are others that are worse but who the fuck cares. Those are over and done with while Bears fans are currently watching KC enjoy what we should have had. Especially if they win multiple SB titles with someone that should have been our QB.
