If Mitch doesn't improve this season, I wouldn't mind the Bears taking a QB in the late 1st, early 2nd. There are a couple guys that should be there in that range, and this team is deep enough, and Pace has shown a talent in being able to get roster depth from late-rounders/UDFA/bargain bin signings, for the team to be able to absorb using high draft picks on someone who probably won't play right away.
Not only would this light a fire under Mitch and give him a now-or-never mentality, it also lets us have a cheap backup, and if Mitch starts to play well and improve a bunch we can always trade that QB for draft picks. In addition, it gives whoever we draft time to develop and learn, which is essential for non-top 10 QBs.
Overall I wouldn't mind it. I doubt they do it this year (maybe next offseason if Mitch still doesn't improve), but Pace is also super ballsy and unpredictable. Who knows, if Fromm drops to the mid-first maybe he'll trade both seconds for him.
That being said, Mitch has only played 3 games this season. I'm not ready to jump off the ledge yet. Certainly less confident in Mitch than I have been, though.

Drafting another QB doesn't really help this limited window
If Mitch fails this year then what Bears should do is bring in Andy Dalton
I am not a Dalton fan but he is more then capable enough QB to pair with this D and win
Its pretty clear he is playing out final year in Cincy as team is going into rebuild and he will be turning 32 in December
San Antonio?

Fairly big game to win today, IMO. Next 2 weeks for the division...
Bears - vs OAK, bye
Lions - bye, GB
Packers - @ DAL, vs DET
Vikings - @ NYG, vs PHI
Gotta win today. Hopefully Dallas beats the Pack, but they probably beat DET. Hopefully the Vikings split their 2. The coming out of the bye the standings look like...
Bears 4-1
Pack 4-2
Vikings 3-3
Lions 2-2-1

Ugh... Andy fricken Dalton. I think I would take anyone but. ..
The thing that really sucks about these injuries is the Bears and fans miss out on more opportunities to evaluate his progress.

No thanks. There isn’t an available QB I’d rather have.
And that’s not a vote of confidence in our guys, but rather how pitiful what else is available. I’d rather just draft someone in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Drafting a QB and hoping he works out is too much of a risk to throw away this contending window

How? Where does you mind leap that drafting a qb is a huge risk but signing Andy Dalton would be not?
I guess I'm missing that somehow in your mind these would be the starters? Is that it. No they're not going to trade or bench Trubisky for Dalton or a 2nd round qb.
While the O didn't score a lot of points last week, they moved the chains well with Daniels at QB. If the O takes another step vs Raiders, does Nagy keep mitchy on the bench regardless of health?
after the bye week the Bears play 3 potential playoff teams, Saints, Chargers and a rematch vs the Eagles.
Worst case scenario for Ryan Pace. Bears O takes another step this week vs Raiders followed by the O regressing after the bye week with mitch at the helm. QB controversy in the making!

If Chase Daniel keeps leading the offense to 15+ points and the team keeps winning, there isn’t any reason to rush Mitch back. Let him heal, let him learn and when Chase has a bad game, there will be a reason to put Mitch back in. Sitting for a bit might give Mitch the hunger to improve as well.

Well acquiring Dalton or Eli slams the door shut so you may as well start rooting for Mitch to turn it around.
I like Fromm. He's a winner. However, his arm is questionable and not really nimble. He could be limited in Soldier Field.
I love Jacob Eason's physical gifts. Unfortunately, he's a project.
I think Justin Fields is the real deal. However, he's not eligible for the draft in 2020. I bet he goes #1 in 2021 ... even higher than Trevor Lawrence.

You take Fromm/Eason AND bring in a vet QB. If Mitch doesn't beat the vet you cut him.

How would acquiring Dalton who is far better QB then Mitch slam shut the door?
If anything Dalton may kick the door open
Going with Mitch is more likely to result in door not only being shut but boarded up so that light may never shine thru again

He's still not good enough. He might be better than Trubisky, but not by much.

No he's not. They're about the same. You think Cutler was good so we can't take your QB evaluation seriously anyway.
