zow2 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 It took until week #8 of his third season for Chicago's coach to have to come out and declare that Trubisky will remain the starter. The ESPN crew had a segment about it on Monday Night Countdown. Showed several examples yesterday of bad plays by Mitch or conservative play calls to protect the offense from making a critical error and losing the game. Of course they ultimately missed a FG and lost the game. I think it was Louis Riddick tonight that said the writing is on the wall. Nagy will be searching for a new QB in the offseason. He's bringing down the whole offense. And it's rough because they could have had Watson or Mahomes. Vrabel has already kicked Mariota to the curb. These coaches don't have time to wait around for a guy to flash some competent play. It's a tough business.
Rocket94 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I live in Chicago now, and the fans that I meet don't want to talk about Trubisky. 1 1

Expand It's a very tough business and I think GM's and coaches (and fans) might expect too much from 22-25 year olds playing what might be the toughest position in all of sports. Not many QB's in their first 1-3 years in the NFL deliver at the level that is hoped or expected. IMO this is exacerbated in a pass happy league that runs the ball less than it once did.

Coach Tuesday Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Do they even have a first round pick next year?
WotAGuy Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 An anomaly like Mahomes raises expectations for all young QBs. It’s often disappointing to have unrealistic expectations. 9

So far Josh's second year looks a lot like Trubisky's second year (which, of course, wasn't bad at all, but there were signs that it might not last). And you could say the same things about how we could've had Mahomes or Watson. 2 1 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Not that he’s great but if I was the Bears, I’d trade for Mariota. He is pretty safe but he can give you an out because Trubisky is clearly not the right guy

Next 4 games are big for him. A chance to stack more wins and sling it around against average to below teams.

aristocrat Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 nick foles might be available. jags should just trade him. i never saw what anyone saw in trubisky in college.

Expand Josh Allen has a better arm than MT. Hopefully he educates himself and moves from a C+/B- player to the next level. I am bettting he will btw. 2
