The now infamous Jason Mitch Trubisky rant? I believe motivational speech was more accurate and correct. And, you know, that's what matters is. Okay, so you've motivated him and now you are bought in to Mitch Trubisky, who you can go take. It's, it's not the wisest thing to always take snapshots, but you can take snapshots of Mitch Trubisky's season where he looks like an absolute up-and-coming elite.

42:04 ↗

NFL quarterback, and you can take snapshots of it that make it seem as though... Finger painting. He should be put on the bench and never allowed on a field again. 100%. I mean, and this is why I said, and I still agree, that Mitchell Trabisky is not going to be a great franchise quarterback, but you don't have to be a great franchise quarterback to be a good fantasy...

42:27 ↗

asset. And I think Matt Nagy, to me, they have replaced Jordan Howard with someone that is going to help Mitchell Trubisky so much because they brought in a pass catching first and second down back in David Mopportunity, the new rookie coming in. And if that opens things up, if they're able to use that pass catching back the way that Andy Reed system, which is where Matt Nagy is from, you know, and they're able to open up more for Mitchell Trubisky.

42:55 ↗

You've got a baseline with him running. You've got great weapons, I believe, there. Tariq Cohen out of the backfield can catch. David Montgomery can catch. Alan Roberts can catch. Trey Burton can move around and catch. And Anthony Miller is a really good option. So to me, I'm buying Trubisky because I'm buying the Bears offense. I really like both of these guys. If you're talking about a Superflex league where you're in the late double-digit rounds.

43:22 ↗

These are the two of the guys I'm looking at most. But if I'm on the clock and I've got to pick one, I think Dak is safer. I think Mitch's ceiling is higher. Dak, to me, is a back-end quarterback one. He's not going to go out there and throw for 4,600 yards and 30 touchdowns. That's just not, that's just not Dak. And I think Mitch could end up with an offensive explosion. Can I go back to Mike's answer from the Ingram question?

43:51 ↗

Sure. Can I choose neither guy? Look, I probably would go with DAC. That's how I have them ranked right now just to kind of maybe take him with my last pick and see if what happened in the last half of the season with Mari Cooper is the real DAC now. I mean, I think I want to know that. I think the inconsistency of Tribisky is something that I don't really want to dance with. But it's nice that, you know, if he can run and continue to run and get help from Montgomery, that will be...

44:19 ↗

a feather in the consistency cap for Mitch. What do you think, Mike? I'm taking Dak. I'll take the guy who's never finished outside of the quarterback one range, even though sometimes it's not the prettiest to get there. The question for Dak is, like, what do you guys read into over the last few games where with, and then Amari Cooper's on the team? And Dak Prescott basically stopped running, which.

44:46 ↗

has been strange when you have an entire career's worth of Dak. Not that he's, he doesn't run like Cam Newton, but he's an incredibly mobile guy. Who do you want to run? You want, you want Zeke to run for him? Or do you want him to run? Because I think Zeke's increase of utilization in the passing game has something to do with that too. Right. Was that it? Because we know that as soon as Amari Cooper joined the team, the targets for Zeke actually went up. So perhaps instead of these plays where Dak has to scramble,

45:15 ↗

They're calling smarter plays and having Zeke as an actual release valve. Yeah, I mean, part of it is the need to run, right? He had less need to run when he gets stand in the pocket when Mari Cooper is there and he, you know, sure. The first half of last year and really seasons prior as well, he's needed to run. There haven't been always guys open making separation. So, you know, I think you'll see less rushing but more passing efficiency, which generally speaking.

45:44 ↗

is bad for fantasy football, which is dumb. Mike, what is the percentage chance that you have for Mitch Tavisky taking another step forward this year? As far as consistency, as an NFL quarterback. I think I've seen in some non-fantasy-related...

46:03 ↗

power rankings of the quarterback position. He ends up right in the middle of the pack, right? Like a 15-16 guy. I have to rethink because I thought you were trying to bait a 55 out of me. Oh. I didn't realize you were asking a legitimate question. Nobody listens to the real questions. The percentage chance that Mitch takes the next step. That's the question. Well, it just improves. Takes a step forward. Do you see the same thing as last year coming from him, or do you see an improvement from Mitch? Because I think Chicago, it's kind of like,

46:31 ↗

Los Angeles with golf, you know, do you have the guy that's going to get you a title? I think most people think golf could get you a title in Los Angeles. Can Mitch, can Mitch take the next step? Because I think you need a better Mitch Trubisky to get to the Super Bowl in Chicago. Sure. I would say you have a better than 50% chance that he improves because... Better than 50? Just slightly? I can't believe. He said that. Like what percentage chance?

46:59 ↗

Would you say hypothetically? Like probably like a 57. Eh, it seems too high. It's a little too high. Yes. Yeah. Okay, good. But you have to also remember, Trabeski was injured over the final parts of the season. And it was his throwing shoulder. So, yeah, I think based off of what he did, I would have to lean that he will improve. Yeah, another year in the offense. Another year with Matt Nagy. Another year were some better weapons that fit Nagy system. Yeah.

47:29 ↗

maturing Anthony Miller. He could make a big step. Another reason why Robinson's a little bit of a, I give him a sideways glance there. And Calvin Ridley and Taylor Gabriel. I mean, there are. Calvin Ridley's on the Bears? Did they trade him? Riley? Riley? You can't make a mistake in this show, Jay. It's too dangerous. Is this real, Brooks? Tyler Boyd. Oh, yeah. He's not getting respect in the auction game, apparently. Assigned Cincinnati Bengals.
