Trubisky had the same knock last year. His defenders said that it didn't matter that his numbers were poor and pointed to his 11-3 record as evidence that he was progressing into a franchise QB despite the fact that the record was much more a function of having the NFL's best defense than anything Mitch was doing. Suddenly Chicago's defense is only good but not dominant, and Trubisky's defenders have all but disappeared.

His passing yards have decreased in every single game this year versus his previous game with only one exception (and that exception is because his numbers against the Patriots were exceptionally low). Allen is an unusual case in that the eye test tells you that he should be good, but the numbers never support that. This was the case for him in Junior college, at Wyoming, and still is in Buffalo. He's like the anti Kirk Cousins.
