Maybe not completely but you sure as hell can get much closer to replicating an NFL regular season game in preseason than you can in practice. I don't care if it's 2000 snaps or 5000 snaps. This was blatantly obvious on offense after the script plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZBearsFan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 hours ago, dafreak said: It will take time with Mitch I agree, but it hasnt taken Mahomes or Watson time...And I guess that's my point... We see what we want to see. FWIW Watson’s performances to date have translated into a 3-5 record as a starter, and his 3.7% INT rate would trouble me in the long term picture as a Houston fan (for reference, Cutler’s career INT rate was 3.3%). But, his career (like that of Mitch) is also very young and nothing is set in stone. There are a lot of examples of QBs not being turn key stars who went on to excellent careers. Favre, Brees and Alex Smith come immediately to mind. There are also a lot of examples of guys who flashed right away but after a few years were exposed. RGIII and VY are recent examples. Drawing any definitive conclusions even in January is probably too soon no matter how this season plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, the league will figure a guy out and he could easily slide back into journeyman. Once the league figured out that Grossman could only throw deep he became easy to defend. But yeah, six TDs and ten in two games (I believe a record for first 2 games of season) is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Lots of ways to win at QB. Mitch could be pretty average but peak in 19 or 20 and will us a SB, or he could be a slow grower but turn out awesome. Honestly so long as he's average I think the Bears could be a lot of fun to watch. I was interested in seeing a high flying offense, but frankly the first Q of the Bears/Packers game was enough to make me want to watch defensive games! Still trying my best not to have any strong reaction about Mitch until Packers 2. This will probably last about 3 minutes tonight, but hey I'm trying.

(Lee Van Cleef in western get up) Thanks man, The Good, The Bad, and the ugly is definitely my favorite movie of all time, seriously underrated these days with the Western genre sadly being nearly dead. Angel Eyes is my favorite movie antagonist for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 in 2020 Fitzmagic comes in and replaces Mitch. The Bears go on a magical run, before Fitzmagic crashes and burns in 2021 and everyone is fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that's just as valuable if not more than playing a few series in a meaningless preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Mahomes clearly has talent. He looks more physically talented than any other QB from that class (including Mitch). It's easy to look at Mahomes' performance and say that Pace drafted the wrong guy, but it's doubtful he'd look the same after 1 year under Fox. Having an established offensive mind and an established veteran QB mentor him for a full season surely helped with his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson looked amazing his first couple starts as well and is now down to earth. I was watching the highlights of the Titans Texans game and he looked confused and held the ball alot. Let's wait and see what Patrick does toward the end of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
