Of all the QBs available to sign (I do not see us giving up draft capital for a lateral move) Trubisky would be my choice.
We were a bottom 10 team in pass blocking, one of the worst TE rooms in NFL and our number one receiver would be a number two or three on most playoff teams. Our number two and three receivers wouldn't even be in most playoff team rotations. And yet the issue was Wentz and only Wentz. Put some decent weapons around him, get a pass rush and see what we can do next year with a full off season.

MPJ was the best receiver in the NFL against the press. He was one of the best in the NFL on third down, and was leading the NFL for part of the season. All this in his second year. People need to stop with the narrative that he isn’t a number one. It’s bullshit and they don’t know what they are talking about.
TEs were functional, no mismatch athletes. But they got open and can catch.
He also had the best running back in the nfl. Faced stacked boxes the majority of the time with single coverage. He had the 6th easiest passing schedule of all QBs.
We had one of the lowest drop rates in the NFL. Do we need some better WRs, sure. A mid match TE would be great. But it won’t make Wentz more accurate. Won’t make him a better decision maker. If your pass protection is bad, you speed up your throw. He was at the bottom of the league in time to throw. It’s a problem when the guy is overthrowing Mo Allie Cox by five feet consistently. Fix Wentz and a lot will get better. If your QB sucks, your WRs will look like crap. Unless Randy Miss is walking through the door, a WR won’t make him better.
Hell we just saw a noodle armed Rivers take them to the playoffs.
