The junior quarterback is the focus of draft scouts this week, but should Heels fans be concerned about him leaving?

For the first time in program history, a University of North Carolina quarterback is faced with a decision as large as Mitch Trubisky’s.

In the history of Tar Heel football, the program has never had a quarterback drafted in the first round. As a matter of fact, the Heels have never had a quarterback drafted earlier than the fifth round, and that was TJ Yates.

Trubisky put together one of the most statistically impressive seasons in program history. Trubisky holds the single season records for passing yards, passing touchdowns, and is second in total touchdowns.

Along with those impressive ranks, Trubisky also recorded thirty touchdowns to only six interceptions.

While there are many questions surrounding the junior quarterback, there are no questions about his ability to play the position.

Most questions about Trubisky are aimed at his experience. Trubisky has only started thirteen games as a Tar Heel, despite appearing in thirty-one.

The only knock scouts have had on him has been his lack of a representative sample size.

A decision from Trubisky should be coming any day now.

Many people are waiting on the decision from the quarterback, but in the mean time lets discuss the pro’s and con’s of leaving early, and what the team could look like next season with or without him.
