I was thinking about this yesterday.  How bad is Mitch Trubisky, that he is behind Kenny Pickett on the depth chart?

He’s absolutely not worse than Pickett imo.

He was bad enough that they needed to try Pickett for a spark last year. It worked for the most part. He was okay for a rookie.

He hasn't improved and maybe regressed. Doesn't seem to use his legs as much. Seems like a Daniel Jones type QB. Not a guy you want or that you fear but he is there.

I don't think they want to make a switch. Trubisky isn't their future and really doesn't offer a whole lot more. However, if he plays like he did against us against lesser defenses they may have no choice.

Trub is better and yet turns it over infinitely more and so that makes him worse

But what if he didn't?

Think about that.

I usually wince every time the draft as they always seem to select players I like (like goddam Benton this past year), but I was pumped when they took Pickett lol

Great win I never want to see DTR again 

I think we are going to see DTR the rest of the season.

The good news is the only games you saw him in were Pitt and Baltimore, 2 of the best defenses in the NFL.

I think you will see a much more fluid offense the rest of the way as he settles in.

Is he great? of course not, but hes better than the other options.

And if he's really bad, I guess there's Joe Flacco...

We have a slim chance of going deep in the playoffs, and it all hinges on DTR.  PJ Walker ain't it, and Flacco can possibly fill in for a game or 2 if needed. But the only way we do anything of significance this year is if DTR learns on the fly.

Not great odds. But better than zero.

So you're saying there is a chance gif

My take too. Albeit not a confident take. He is the best option of a QB that we can start that could improve greatly down the stretch and grows confidence as we face strong competition in the playoffs. 

Also could deservingly get benched by halftime this week. 

I know we want to protect the ball but if opposing defenses know we are throwing in the 0-15 yard range only, they are going to jump routes like we saw last week. That's not fair to DTR, it's hard to succeed in that scenario.

I think KS said we will let the defense win this game. We will not let Highsmith and Watt make plays and get short fields. Had he just played it safe week 2 we win that game.

The only reason he slipped in the draft was because people questioned his love of the game.

 

Absolutely asinine to pass on a mountain sized man that can move extremely well.

Maybe the GM of a team in Ohio should draft more Ohio State players

Haven't we consistently drafted osu guys over the last few years. 

 

Ward, Wypler and Jones?

I was yelling at the clouds for years for us passing on big-time Ohio State talents. The last couple years at least the guys we have pulled the trigger on have worked out quite well so hopefully we keep it going.

Amazing how every osu qb has been at best average and them the best young qb in the whole nfl is from osu.

 

Don't draft schools draft players.
