Odds that we trade Trubisky?

To be honest I would gather about 50% odds Rudolph is gone by the deadline and then perhaps next offseason or draft time we could move Trubisky for a late round pick.
 
I know this won't be popular but with the way this o-line is not only would I not let KP play this year but I wouldn't even let him sit next to them on the bench. If KP is truly our future no way in hell I take a chance with ******* up his body or mind this year. enjoy the pine buddy next year is your turn.

I consider things a little differently.
Most of us expect the season to be somewhere near .500. Maybe 2 or 3 games over, and everyone is happy, post Ben. 11-6 would be awesome given OL, no clear starting QB, ILB issues, etc.

If that is the case, and we will be looking up at Buffalo, KC and perhaps even the Bungles, then there is little point in keeping 3 "sorta starting" QBs.
Obviously Pickett is the future, either later in this season, or next year.

But if Trubisky starts and gets hurt, Pickett gets the ball. If he gets hurt too, who really cares about the rest of the season? I mean we are looking at fixing the holes in next year's draft.....so why do we need a QB3 that might bring a return --- for next year's draft --- if dealt to a team in need now? In that scenario, I would rather be 5-11 with QB3Project and better picks for next year than to have a serviceable QB3 like Rudy and finish 9-8 drafting at 20 again.
If one of the two QBs at 1 and 2 make it thru the season, then we should have traded Rudy to a team with need.

Great line of thought, I've kind of come to that conclusion as well. SORRYT Rudoph but you are trade capital. If I was Rudolph right now I'd ask to be traded and get out from under this setting here. He has to know his QB battle isn't legit and they didn't bring Kenny Pickett in to sit. His only saving may be Mitch Trubisky getting traded instead of him.

If they brought KP here to be their future QB and since he's looked good so far, I see no way you can have him sitting at QB3 getting no reps for any length of time. He needs to get reps weekly and be ready weekly not just holding a clipboard not dressed. It sucks for Rudolph but if Trubisky starts as QB1 (which isn't set in stone yet), KP has to be QB2.
