If you let go of Trubisky and decide to move forward with a Paxton Lynch, you've gained nothing and you start all over again, and definitely with a new coach and GM.

Those are two extremes though, right? I think I've seen enough of Wentz to know that he probably won't ever be in the "elite" discussion, but he's good enough to win if you put a strong cast around him, so I think you can justify shelling out for him. He probably can't elevate the team beyond it's talent but he's not going to actively hurt the team either. I'm finding it kind of interesting how the issues surrounding Wentz (injuries, accuracy issues, lack of weapons) are very similar to the issues that surrounded Donovan McNabb during his Eagles career .
Trubisky, on the other hand, was actively hurting the Bears earlier this year (to be fair, he's been a bit better recently). The defense did more than enough to give them chances to win the games against GB, OAK, LAC, and PHI, and Trubisky was a big reason why they lost, even if Nagy isn't totally blameless. I think there's an argument to be made that if the Bears get league average QB play this year, they're in the running to win the NFC North. If the Eagles had league average QB play, they're in the running for a top 5 pick.
