You can't take a game away just to fit a mindset. He isn't turning the ball over and his YPA continues to creep up. He had Tampa on the schedule and beat their ass. The Bears offense scored more against Tampa than New Orleans, Philly, Pittsburgh, ATL and Cincinnati did. Not really sure what Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl game has to do with this. I'm just saying Trubisky has been fine, but that stat line has been inflated by one game at home against the worst defense in football. He kicked their ass like just about anyone should have.

I feel you. It just pisses me off that the Bears fan base (and this isn't directed at you since you're a GB fan) hates everything that has to do with young, fun and talented.

GoSox05 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm not judging Trubisky as a Packers fan. Just what I've seen and what evaluators are saying about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So, I mentioned Trubisky could be just Bortles if he never develops beyond this. Well, that suddenly (not attributing this to me obviously) became a national "thing" really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) All the anti-Trubisky stuff out there on Twitter and ESPN today seems to stem from the misconception that all of his numbers come from screen passes. If you think that, you haven't watched him play. Trubisky is the QB of an air raid offense, Bortles is the QB of a run-first offense, and the former QB is pretty much objectively better than the latter. I don't think Mitch is a top 10 quarterback or anything but the hate he's receiving in the midst of the best season by a Bears QB of all-time is pretty puzzling. If he finishes the season at a similar pace then he's firmly in the top half of NFL quarterbacks in my opinion.

bmags Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I like Barnwell. If Mitch doesn't progress, Bortles is a comp, but even then Mitch takes care of the ball much better (though could be product of a better oline). But the reason I'm surprised there was a sudden hammer brought down on him is I've actually been encouraged the last 3 weeks even despite the lower comp % last two games, and these are games he became more run heavy. Because though he's taken off, he's taken off walking into the pocket more often. Also the second half of Jets game he was really doing well with pocket forming around him. He has these bad bad quarters but then keeps recovering, so, to me that is big big progress and the kinds that i like to see. Feeling much more positive than ever.

Jack Parkman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Mitch is young. It is way to early to say he's Bortles. I think Mitch is better than Bortles already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Gruden used to make faces and scream and all of the other BS that made him “cool.” He doesn’t do any of that anymore. With every passing game I’m thinking more and more that this is a money grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I really thought raiders would be fine this year, seemed like last year just got away from them. I also thought for a time that Grudens time as a broadcaster connecting with so many in the game he could actually be decent for a while. That stopped when he hired his staff. I really feel for Raiders fans. This is just awful. Ruining your last few years for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 They could be back to being a good team if they draft well over the next two drafts, but not with Gruden making those picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need both him to nail a bunch of picks and actually learn from getting his teeth kicked in, become more of a CEO coach that finds bring progressive minds to come in and turn it around.

Who wants to bet on that? I would bet that they completely blow the next two drafts and also keep Gruden around even after doing so, because they are the Raiders. Just for the record, I'm very much against coaches also being the GM or making roster decisions. Outside of Belichick, it usually ends in disaster.
