zow2 Posted October 28, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Frankish Reich Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 1 minute ago, Chill said: Crossroads. Josh will be there next year. Fingers crossed, he improves. Exactly. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 29, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am bettting he will btw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an understatement... They traded up from 3 to pick him over Mahomes and Watson... It must be one of the dumbest draft/trade moves in the last 10 years...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I think... Technology wrecks many a young QB. The damn green dot. Mostly all of them except the head Cheatriot Tommy Headsets... He was born into the tech. Eviscerate it right out of the game. It's shellshocking them. Learning bad habits. But, who cares what I think. Just let them play and learn the right way!

Gordio Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 This was a typical example of an organization outsmarting itself & falling in love with a guy's tangibles. Watch the film, Mitch was not good at UNC. I had my doubts on mahomes has he is so unorthodox, but Watson was the play. He had way more experience than MT & the guy was a winner.

zow2 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 8 hours ago, Dr.Sack said: Allen > Trubisky. I don't like Trubisky at all. He definitely lacks a certain intangible needed to be a solid QB. But when Allen plays the Redskins this Sunday, keep in mind that Trubisky vs Washington this season was 25 for 31, 231 yards, 3 TD's, 1 int. sacked 3 times. Not amazing but we would be gushing if Josh had that production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anomalies are really the sucky QB’s in years 2-3 eventually becoming good. Keep saying good, but you are arguing a point with yourself. Mahomes was great in his very first start and has been consistently great from that point forward - many 300 yard and multi-touchdown games. He won the league MVP in his first full season of starting. If that’s not an anomaly then I guess I’m using the wrong definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
