It's crazy to think that we still had a chance to win this game despite him completing just slightly over 50% of his passes with two INTs and with the defense and special teams playing as bad as they did. There were like four different drops of catchable balls, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a missed opportunity to score when Bellamy had his guy beat for the long catch but failed to haul it in because he couldn't see the ball.

I don't remember that (imagine that right lol) but remember Cohen having one go between his hands. Might have been too far outside for him to get two feet down though. Will have to re-watch.

That said I don't think it would have gone for a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone here would have been thrilled with these #s back in pre-season: 1,594 13 6 97.1 With 2 rushing TDs as well. Over 16 this is his projected statline 370/562 for 4250 yards (65.9% completion).....34 passing TDs....16 INTs.....97.1 QBR.....37 sacks.....82 rushes.....647 yards rushing.....5 rushing TDs So he totals 4,697 yards accounted for and 39 TDs. I'd be damn happy with that. Of course the huge run skewed that, the 6 TD game did some as well, but he has 3 INTs that were tipped (2 in the first game) and then Bellamy gutted one up to his defender too. Freak plays have gone both ways for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 But as inconsistent as Mitch is he is still producing. He is still making big plays, whether throwing the ball [mostly Miami], or running the ball [Miami and NE].That tells me that he is better than an average QB. Average QBs have similar lows, but never the highs and the big plays that we are seeing. We have seen any number of average NFL QBs roll through here and we get the same lows, multi picks, missed passes, but rarely the 300+ yards and 3 TD performances, or the ad lib scramble TD or the 50 yard run down to the 2.So for me this is a consistency issue and not an ability issue. Everything is there we just need it to come out more than 1 game on and 1 game off, or only in the 2nd half or 1st half.Consistency is easier to develop than ability.

WindyCity Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 With Trubisky the lows aren't Cutler meltdown bad and the highs are really high. Starting from that, I think we are going to be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no longer wonder if he has the ability to be a big time NFL QB. He clearly can make the throws and he can clearly run at an elite level.I now wonder if he can do it consistently and efficiently.

I'm risking the wrath of the rabid naysayers now, I know--folks outside this sub-forum, to be sure--when I say...that I really have never seen a QB who has shown what he's shown, and worried (afterword) about consistency and efficiency. Other members will now tear me apart, but I don't give a ****. I'm officially taking myself off the Trubisky fence. In all of my decades of watching NFL football, I've never seen such real promise fizzle out. Ever. He's kept it up for long enough, I'm a believer. Does that mean Boomer Esiason, or Tom Brady? Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell. I think we still need another year to really say he’s here to stay. Here are the QBs who were a flash in the pan I can think of: -Marcus Mariota -RG3 -Josh Freeman -Dak Prescott -mark Sanchez -Nick Foles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
