WindyCity Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Mitch Trubisky is currently tied with Carson Wentz for 17th in the league in bad throw percentage, which I have to admit was a surprise to me.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/passing_advanced.htmHe is also 17th in On Target %https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/passing_advanced.htmThe NFL average for bad throws is 16.75% and Mitch is at 18%.

WindyCity Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 The more interesting piece is that the games where has the most bad throws are also the ones where the Bears cannot run the ball and throw a lot of passes.Most of the games where he has been above average in "bad throws" have been games where he has thrown over 40 passes.GB1- 45 passes, 17.7%NO-54 passes, 22%Phi- 21 passes, 23%LAR-43 passes, 18.6%NYG-41 passes, 24.3%GB 2-53 passes, 26.4%It is clear that Mitch is not the type of QB that you can throw 40+ passes with in a game, in fact many QBs are not.My major issues is that you were not down more than a score at halftime in any of these games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 In games where he throws less than 40 passes his off throw percentage is 13.1%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to draft another QB and see if we hit pay dirt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you not commit to running the ball more or finding creative ways to run the ball more successfully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being a smartass but is there a stat that shows how many 8+ man boxes the Bears offense is seeing? Perhaps they aren't running as much as we want because the opposing D's are daring Trubisky to beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not see the stat from this past week's game vs GB showing how the Packers were exclusively playing nickel/dime defense for majority of the game? And then Nagy goes and calls 53 pass attempts from Mitch in the bitter cold. It's a joke really. He is not doing the guy many favors at all.

dll2000 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 When you rewatch games there is drive after drive where 2 or more OL and/or TE that have done something bad that allows defense to totally disrupt the play or commits a penalty. It's not every play, but it's a lot of them. Almost nothing is happening offensively as you would draw it up on paper. Not on 3 consecutive plays anyway. How much of that do you put on MT or Nagy or Montgomery? I would put very little of it on Montgomery. I would certianly put some blame on MT who has not taken advantage of enough opportunities when present or available. But I have never seen an offense function with this bad of execution by players other than the QB. It just isn't possible. There are no holes, no complementary running game and protection is consistently bad. I think a lot goes on Nagy for not being able to address overall situation. I think the bulk of blame goes to O line and TEs though. The play has been simply unacceptable this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
