San Francisco 49ers

Other Possibilities: New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns

All of these teams are quarterback needy.  Mitch would be considered the day one starter for any of these teams.

Before I get into why the Niners, let’s look why not the other teams. New York is a mess and have drafted two young quarterbacks the last two seasons in both in the second round.

Can they really afford to draft one early a third year in a row?

The Bears have some young talent, but are also coached by John Fox. Fox struggled to win with Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler has not improved and may even have regressed under his coaching.

The Browns are the Browns. They should never be anyone’s best fit.

The Niners have some issues but also have Chip Kelly. The ideal quarterback for Kelly’s offense is one who is accurate, makes quick decisions, and doesn’t turn the ball over. Sound like anyone?

Plus, Mitch Trubisky can run which allows for some zone reading in Kelly’s offense.

The Niners also have some young talent. Torrey Smith is one of the fastest receivers in the game.

Carlos Hyde can carry the rock and there are several young receivers who are natural short possession and slot guys that Mitch loves to throw to.

Negatives: The Niners, like all the teams listed, are lacking in talent, as displayed by their record and lack of pro bowl selections this season. They may be better off drafting a non quarterback this season. Chip Kelly may not survive this season. Trent Baalke probably won’t survive this season.

Mitch will have to start as all three quarterbacks are free agents and likely gone after this season.
