So Stafford is on his bye.
Picked up Jameis Winston in what may prove to be a shootout in Atlanta.

Was seriously reconsidering swapping Winston for Trubisky (@MIA). Not just for week 6 but perhaps for the rest of the season.

Did things finally click for him vs Tampa? Or was it a fluke?
Is it reasonable to conclude he finds a happy medium on the stat line the rest of the way?
Not sure my bench has room for a guy like Trubs?

Gutsy?
Or Nutsy?

I picked up Trubisky just in case it was real. No fucking chance I am starting him against Miami over Alex Smith. And that’s coming from a bears fan. He will click at some point. It probably won’t be this year though.

Go watch The Bears highlights two weeks ago. Pass catchers running absolutely wide open. That was scheme not his ball placement. Not something I would expect from him on the regular

Perhaps.
The argument could be made that he was still learning the offense those first 3 games.
If Trubs throws for 2 or more TD, he'll light up the waiver wire for week 7.

Phins has an above average pass defense. Bears won win this one with Trubs slinging it imo

The next two weeks are tough. The dolphins have a tough secondary and then it’s the pats after New England faced a similar offense in KC. If he can do well those two games, I think he’s a keeper, at least as someone to stream.

No.
I'll still have Stafford.

Interesting.
All you guys who swing for the fences on players regardless of how they start a season, and not one of you...

Read that somewhere else as well.
Not dismissing it, but that includes games against Mariota, Darnold and Carr.
Even Brady threw 2 picks against them, but here too, it was a divisional game.

Well heck Joe, your call. I up against you this week so I hesitate to encourage you to be a homer least my motivation becomes suspect. However I not against doing that ( going homer) myself. Not always wise and that’s a fact, but if it works out it’s makes for a fun time watching and playing ff. :suds:

I'm a Mitch fan. But he isn't going to be in shootouts.


Tampa sucks. Which means Winston will pass.


I wasted my #1 waiver spot on him in one league. It's his job to lose as my starting qB now.
