Bangarang Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 He’s not even finished with his rookie year in the league... Some of you cry and use Tyrod’s weapons as an on going excuse for his mediocre play but can any of you name a single receiver Trubisky is throwing to without having to look it up?

It's a healthy reminder that finding a franchise QB isn't automatic. I think most people understand that a franchise QB doesn’t happen overnight and there are growing pains to be expected. A lot of fans just want a young QB to be excited about. It’s easier to be optimistic about a highly drafted rookie getting better than a late round pick finishing his 7th year in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Trubisky has the raw tools that can make him a very good QB in the future. More experience and a better supporting cast will certainly help him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 1 out of 20-30 5th round QBs amounts to anything. You can’t be a 5th round bust, there is no such thing. In terms of Trubisky he has some tools and seems like a good dude. His decision making will need to improve (as will his weapons). After Goff’s turnaround I am not writing him off but there is a lot of improvement that needs to happen.

Mat68 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Well Geoff could not get on the field for the majority of of his rookie year and when he did was pretty poor. He seemed to rebound quite well. Cant read too much into year 1. Especially when he had no one to throw to outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we will still have one of those. The other thing a high pick rookie needs is an experienced backup vet. This might sound crazy but I hope they sign someone like Matt Moore to a 2 year contract. Pay him enough in case he would need to start a few games in the beginning of next season. Maybe a McCown if not Moore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I say look at what McVay has done with Goff. Last year Goff looked like an almost certain bust. This year he looks like the #1 overall pick. Let's see who Chicago gets for coaching in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
