Brady made a mediocre coach a surefire hall of famer, so there's that

Of course. I was just trying to make a veiled reference.....
My only comment left for this thread is I hope KP stays healthy cause we’re done if he goes down for any significant time. And thats assuming Canada doesn’t get in his way

Which team’s fans would say otherwise?
Maybe Raiders, Giants and Eagles? Plunkett, Hiestetler and Foles?
Maybe??

Last year Tyler Huntley kept the Ravens afloat and got them in the postseason
I doubt captain Mitch could do that.

With an improved offensive line and a healthy Najee Harris, I think our chances of winning games with a game manager at QB increase.

I really think the Huntley as decent to even functional back-up QB myth needs to die. In a fire or something.
He "beat" an awful Denver team by a point. Split with mediocre at best Steelers team. And scuffled past a horrendous Falcons team. All while losing to the Browns.
If a Steelers QB had come in and performed as he did, we would all be for riding the guy out of town on a rail. But somehow....someway....internet football fans and media laud Huntley like he did anything. It is really strange....even as back-up QBs go...he didn't really do that well.
he did enough to win. From the outside specially as a non-Ravens fan (except for the Steelers game) you look at the end result. If KP goes down I don't have any faith Mitch could keep the Steelers afloat at 500. He can't even make the simple short pass with any consistency. I think its his mobility that Canada likes - that's at least half the reason he's still around.

Yeah Huntley put up Pro Bowl numbers (apparently).
They are basically the same guy. Intensely flawed QBs. Stats wise, they are about the same guy with different play styles. If anything, MT stats are slightly better.

Everyone just likes Huntley because " Ohh... Fun! A UDFA won a game. Let's make this a thing!" In contrast, Trubisky is failed 1st round pick that has lost 2 starting jobs to less than scintillating competition.
I would like a better back-up QB option than MT. I wish MT was off the roster entirely. But I am not pining away for Huntley.

XFL won’t start up again until February.
I’d rather just keep Pickett and Trubisky. Trubisky is a good back up QB. Players like him, he’s a veteran, he’s got a winning record, he’s not terrible.

Mason is now a Steeler again...........
He's not terrible as a backup. The main problem with Mitch is that he believes he's a starter and he's not.
there is some truth to what you say. Huntley is an underdog considering he wasn't drafted and he managed to keep the Ravens afloat and get them in the playoffs. He's performed beyond expectations. Mitch is a 1st round bust and still thinks he's a starter. That's also a big reason why i don't think he's an ideal mentor to KP.
According to Poni. Fittipaldo said he’s just coming for a visit tomorrow. Poni clowning again.
I would be in favor, and I wouldn’t consider it to mean that Trubisky was going anywhere this year.
I don’t know that that’s a true fact.
actually the defense did it not Huntley he was abysmal ....
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. 4 teams in 5 years and traded twice in one off season
He let the defense win it for him. that's what a semi decent backup does.
Mitch threw pics at the worst time last season.
how do you explain the 11 wins in 14 starts mitch had in 2018 ? or the 6 wins in 9 starts in 2020 ? he apparently is capable of playing well enough to help put as many or more W's on the board than L's as any QB is with the right coaching and supporting cast. i mean even Canada's crappy offense is capable of producing W's. we sometimes forget football is a TEAM sport. no single person wins or loses games.
I don’t know, maybe it had to do with having the worst on target rate in the league. I’m sure the bears can add a little more reason to why they dumped him in favor of Andy Dalton
its called the fifth year option and increased pay. if i was the bears i wouldnt have paid it either. but lets not pretend they had more success with Dalton. he was just a cheaper option. people are singing fields praises in chicago about his individual efforts but that did not translate to W's. why ? because the rest of the team and coaching sucked ass. im not arguing that mitch is a keeper. im just saying with a solid team and coaching behind him he will put up .500+ seasons.
well the bears chose not to keep him in spite of the W’s and with a stacked team. If he was good they would pay him. This tells me he’s really flawed which is supported by his horrible on target rate, the fact no one else wanted him as a starter and the ineffectiveness he’s shown as a starter with us and the erratic inconsistency as a backup. The high price tag for this stuff makes it worse. I hope he gets another shot at a starting gig somewhere else
When did the Bears have a stacked team?
