only way da bears will find a franchise QB is if they have to do very little scouting or thinking and one falls into their lap like burrow with the bengals

Foles sucks. Mitch sucks. Pace sucks. Trump sucks.

I'm a big fan of the addition of Foles. His ability to operate this offensive system at a high level should not be ignored. He's highly intelligent, he CAN read defenses which is the complete opposite of what Trubisky can do. He's also very accurate, has a good arm and is said to be a highly respected locker room guy and teammate. He makes the Bears offense better.
With that said, it really will not matter one bit who is under center for Chicago in 2020 if they can't get the running game going and fix the O-line. Watching Foles immobile ass get sacked 96 times just doesn't seem like a very good time for me.
Chicago still has a ton of work to do on the offensive side.

It's kind of a glass half full, half empty thing. Do you want to believe you're getting the Eagles' Foles or the Foles every other team he went to got? How motivated is this guy at this stage of his up, down, up, down again career?

Foles is unlikely to win the job.
His yards per completion numbers the last 3 years resemble Chase Daniels', and Trubisky's last year. Pair him with Nagy's dink and dunk crap and you get...well, you can imagine.

So you suspect they got Foles so they can pay their backup more than double their starter?

If you look at over the cap, looks like a 1 year $15.1M contract. Looks like we can get out of year 2 and 3 with no cap hit.

Who? Noonthirtyjoe or whatever his name is? I feel like you're making shit up again that there is this big "Pro-Trubisky" faction that doesn't care about the success of the team, just Trubisky's opportunity to lead this team.
Talking about dying on a hill. It seems like you're trying to create a hill that doesn't actually exist. And if it does, there are 3 dummies and/or trolls on top of it. Why even bother with them?

There is nearly no one on here who is a trubisky nut hugger anymore.
There are, however, a bunch who are what I call trubisky crybabies. They'd rather see him fail than succeed because it drives their narrative.
I personally hope that he succeeds, because its whats best for the franchise I cheer for. Do I think he can succeed? Probably not. Do I think Foles can succeed? Probably not. Foles is going to get worked behind this oline with no run game.
We literally did nothing to improve our biggest weakness last season, and no, it wasn't QB even though a lot of you crybabies think it was. No team succeeds without good trench play. You get a good dline, and a good oline, and you go to the playoffs usually. Simple as that. It's been a time tested equation.

Kind of like the people that saw Foles play last year and claim he's playoff bound this year?

Not a big fan of Foles despite his accomplishments. I do however believe he will beat out Mitch. Typically the GM brings in talent and the coach sets the depth chart. I do believe Nagy wanted Foles over Mitch and as a result of we will see him for better or for worse.

To be clear I don’t think Mitch is any better than Foles. I just don’t find either to be attractive options. Foles would appear to be the safer bet as he’s done his thing when the stakes were high. Mitch has simply been bad. I think all Bears fans would love for the “more talented” second overall draft pick to be the guy but that’s a tough bet. I’d like to see the Bears draft a QB to put into the mix and for the future but this seems to be a position Pace struggles with.

I'm pro Bears. I think Trubisky is the best option for this year and Foles is a decent backup and I'm glad to have him. We have not fixed any of our problems and neither QB will stand much of a chance.

I think it’s a side ways move. Unless they fix this running game we aren’t going anywhere

It was actually 2years before. He got hurt, came back, and then was benched. The playoff run is a distant memory.

This. Offensive line will be better coached with a less convoluted scheme but it still doesnt have improved talent.
